Have you noticed there are a LOT of people on mylot who never post...

yes i know,some of the people here can be very annoying..especially when they post stupid discussions,or the same discussions that others posted also..me ,for example i had a problem once..one of mylot users copy -pasted the text that i wrtoe in one of my discussions,above the title that was 'do you still believe in marriage'..and she posted it as her discussion...i wouldn't have minded if she asked the same question,about marriage..coincidences happen..but she copied the text that i wrote about me..'i have a boyfriend for 4 years and i still don't know if i wanna marry him..etc etc'and she posted it as a discussion..that really bothered me...

These people just waste everyone's time who is on mylot trying to play by the rules and develop a quality website. This is a great idea if people don't run it into the ground and make it shut down.

Good answer! Maybe I'm too sensitive to deadbeats trying to make money off of me. I had one guy as a friend for awhile that spent all day just submitting stories as discussions. He never answered anyone else's discussions. It got to be very tedious reading all of his stories, so I decided not to be his friend any more so that I didn't have to deal with it. Thanks for your response.

What do you think would happen to mylot if all anyone did was post their own discussions? I think it would cease to exist. The whole point of it is to work as a community, and the only way we can achieve that is by everyone responding to others instead of just cluttering up the place with their own meaningless discussions.

thats right. lot sof questions repeat like will u marry me and how do i look.

There seem to be a lot of deadbeats who are only here for the money they can make. If the rest of us refuse to play into their games --- posting repeats, copying, silly topics, etc. -- then they won't make money. Then they'll either change their ways or go elsewhere for their bucks.

The point is, if he doesn't answer our discussions, and if no one else did, then no one would make anything. Thanks for responding.

Answers like that are on my list, too. They say nothing but waste my time.

You haven't been on mylot long enough to understand where I'm coming from. I've been here over 3 weeks, and during that time the members as well as the mylot staff have been working hard to create an improved, functioning website. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who come on just for a joy ride or for a few bucks and don't care what they do to the site. With too many like that, how is mylot going to keep growing and expanding?

I've learned that everyone has to work together on mylot in order to earn much of anything. People who do nothing but post aren't contributing to the good of the community, just their own pockets. Of course, I guess we're all trying to do that.

I'm glad there are people like you on mylot. I wish everyone made a conscientious effort to do all the things you do. I like your kitty, too! Thanks for answering.

I agree that a lot of that is going on. If you compare their stories to their profiles, the information doesn't match; such as in their discussion they talk about their young teen children and their profile says they are 20, etc.

It's amazing what people will do for a few cents. They're working awfully hard coming up with this stuff- it would be easier if they went out and worked a real job.

Too bad everyone here doesn't practice what you preach! I'm just blessed that I've gotten to meet you and participate in your discussions. Thanks!

thats a good idea too, i didnt think of that but i will now thanks for the tip

sorry to hear that, I am going to look at yours now and give you a few responses.

After reading your answer I went and answered one of your posts, too. Helping each other out is what makes mylot a community instead of just another discussion board.

My guess would be to post questions and talk with other people on their questions. I don't understand why you even asked her that? o_O

Hmm.. i think i misread the question you posted, i think i read it as you asking HER why she did. My apologies. :)

It's really hard to figure out what does and doesn't work here. Everyone has their own ideas. Thanks for yours!

Keep working at it, caraj. We all get discouraged in the beginning because it takes awhile before things get moving. Find a group of friends who are willing to respond to your posts in return for you answering theirs. That keeps your posts in circulation instead of letting them disappear into la la land. I didn't get responses for awhile, either, but now I have more than I can handle. Thank you for answering mine!

thanks for the encouragement and for responding to my discussion im definetly going to check out others youve posted im sure ill find lots to respond to

I wouldn't mind having fewer discussions if they were quality ones that people could actually discuss instead of just answering. Responses should be weighted some way instead of just blindly paying every person for every response. That would help in shaping up the people who always deadend every discussion they respond to.

how do we rank someone we feel has given a valuable response

If I'm not passionate about doing a good job with something, I don't do it at all. I'm hoping that all the good people on here will help build mylot into something big and that the people trying to make a quick buck will give up and move along. I like the concept of mylot, but it takes everyone to make an effort to build it. I've been on here not quite a month, and I've seen a lot of improvement in just that length of time. I don't think we should be here just for ourselves. We also need to help each other and the people who own mylot in order for this site to survive.

You know, i was thinking about that. I think what will happen is that the people who post inane comments or one word answers will quickly grow tired of this place. My reasoning behind that is that they are going to see threads about what people are making and i have noticed a LOT of people with a lower amount of comments who are making a LOT more than people with a TON of stupid ones. I'm not sure what would be considered good or in regards to earning rates, but i know i have been here 3 days now and i have $4.37 so far. Doesn't seem to shabby, i usually try to leave a decent comment though, although of course i have my fair share of short ones as well. =P

Please use the search box to check out previous topics before posting a new discussion. Some topics have been posted over and over again. That's a waste of space, and it can get very boring. Welcome to mylot, and thanks for responding to my post.

At least we all have a lot of choice in topics to respond to. There are a lot of juvenile posts, but since the membership is made up of all ages, I guess that's to be expected. I just prefer to have posts that make sense and appeal to someone instead of all the repeats. Who cares what you made today, what your favorite color is, who gave you your first kiss.... ? And yet these topics post over and over and over. If that's all I could find on here, I'd have been gone a long time ago. The extra $$$ is a perc, but it's really the meat of the discussions that keep people coming back.
