common mistakes mylotters commit

if this goes on -old timers may quit posting..its no fun to join discussion that doesnt make sense

Your response is beautifully phrased.It should the main idea for being here.

I learned a long time ago -mylot is not really a good way to earn but a good way to learn..hope they realize this as well

thanks .. some leave the site when they realize we just earn a cent per post without realizing what mylot can teach them in the long run

Can you please guide me on how to search it effectively?

yup, thats also a problem some members dont tag discussion--so i guess theres not much we can do to avoid opening same topics..

Think of the tags you would use when starting your discussion and search for those. Or type in your main question into the search field. Make sure that you are only searching either myLot or discussions instead of web or news or blogs... that will help narrow your results. That's really all I do. I figure if I didn't find what I was looking for that way, there's either nothing to be found or it's tagged completely different than I could think of tagging it and I'll probably never find it.

mylotter staff cant monitor all of them --but if only members can be a bit responsible and not just think about replies it will help mylot as a whole--we can also have meaningful topics coz it will be a real discussion. maybe mylot can warn repetitive violators that opening a topic should be regulated.

when you see same threads-not just 2, 3 sometimes theres at least 10 --same topics posted w/o checking first

There may be a whole lot of cases where someone may want to start a discussion about having gotten pregnant, married, divorces, had a child, graduated, had a child graduate or any number of things that are specific to you and may be important to your friends here in mylot and you would want to share those events with them. There are also items like experimenting wit different sewing or crafting techniques or cooking that you might want to talk about that may have also been covered, but going back and adding to an old discussion may not get results. When I first join, I even got some criticism for commenting on some old discussion, it was mild criticism, and I still comment on old discussions if I find them interesting. I have only started one discussion. I have not been here for a long time (although I think it has been over a year now), but I have found this to be one of the most interesting social networking sites I have joined. I was introduced to it as a place to earn money, and although I have not earned much and have not yet had a pay out, I have enjoyed every minute I have spent on the site. I think one of the reasons that I have not earned a pay out is that frequently I respond to responses and not the original questions, but as long as I am enjoying myself and not upsetting anyone and seem to make a contribute, I am happy. Cheers. Happy Holidays.

as for personal tpics -i dont mind coz its a different case but for some cases--we can save a lot of time if we lok around first okay so im referring make money topics in particular discussing same topics is just not cool -i guess but as i said im also guilty few months back but now i search the site first..

me too.. yeah im happy replying as well, unless i really need help...

yes, you will see their discussion then they open another topic leaving previous topic hanging...i seldom open topics nowadays coz im not very active but, i hope members can be abit considerate and think twice before opening a discussion --that way its really a discussion and not a question and answer ritual..

yeah--some people just wanna earn and dont thinkabout sharing or discussing the topic... i hope mylot can check on this deeper

welcome.. considering your post-i can presume you will like it here.. hope to bump into your post soon..

the search bar is the best feature if mylot --if you open a topic you can use it first just to be guided accordingly..but of course its not easy to ask everyone to use it first
