Notification On - Discussions & Discussions More Abundantly? What About Quality?

Hello zweeb82! I noticed that too. But all what I do is that I just turn on the notifications of my friends who are always responding to my discussions. What I mean is that those friends who are close to me here. That's why it's easy for me to find this discussions of yours because I received a notifications from mylot. [i] I don't turn on the notifications of everbody who's on my list because I know based on the number of my friends there, I won't receive some notifications and I wouldn't want to miss my close friends discussion[/i]

I am still learning things around here at mylot, still under the 2 month mark here, but I dont really know about the notifications, but I do see alot of duplicate or worded different discussions, I will think of one and then next thing I know someone started one real similar, which is totally fine with me...I usually will answer in the first 2 that I see, but then after that stop. I think people dont go back and look or search to see if a discussion/subject has been discussed or created ....not sure. I just go into the "friends started" and "my interest", and post from there and I am pretty happy with that one....happy mylotting.

I have them all 'on'. I get a lot of notifiers and I open them all but some users are busy on certain days when others are not so there are never too many to get through. I open them up one by one and open up the discussion too if I'm interested in it otherwise I just delete it and move on to the next one. I would be lost if I set them to 'off'

I do understand how you feel but I have an alternative point of view on the notifications on/off tab...I like keeping my on. I only discovered this feature about 3 days ago and because I have many friends each time I go to my email there are over 50 emails from my mylot friends. Yes, some discussions are better than others but I am not compelled to answer any that I don't want to answer...I read what the discussion is about and if I am not interested in it I delete it, if I am interested I repsond to it. I like the notifications tab to be on, because this way I am able to keep in contact with the people I have made my friends, and do them the favour of responding to their discussions in the hope that my comments are making some money for them. If the notifications tab was off, I would not be able to track my friends discussions as easily.

some people can come up with a lot at once and them all be good but a lot of people cant.. usually the ones that do a ton and they are all crap dont stay on mylot long

I tend to turn my notification off because I usualy end up getting my email address full of peoples posts that dont really interest me.

Oh yes I do. Some discussions are just not worth it to respond at all because of the silly things that is written. Won't mention what and who here...don't want to start a riot. So I for me, I just stick to my favourites like topics on cooking, cleaning, music, reading, books.......

Well i do have some notifications on but i never put the friends notification on. That was ages ago forgot there even was a friends notification. I only put the friend request notification on thought the other one would be too much. Though if i did have that friends discussion notification i would consider deleting some friends. I would only turn that notification on only if i was on mylot a lot then it would be easier finding discussions than searching for them.

I have been on here for almost 2 months and I couldn't agree with you more. I finally turned off my notifications because they were filling up my email. I still check which of my friends have started their own discussions and I try to respond with quality answers however if I find that they are one liners, I usually try not to bother responding. My theory is this, if you aren't willing to start a quality discussion, then I am not willing to waste my time writting a quality response. I hope that in the furture people here on mylot will start taking more care in the discussions that they start. I hope that more people take the time to respond with quality responses as well because I can't stand getting one line responses for a discussions that I have started. I put a lot of time and effort into my writing so to have someone answer it just to make a response to get cash, really gets my temp up. I hope that you have a wonderful day and happy mylotting.

I'm actually still unsure about mylot. I just put a avatar up today finally. I think you get paid more for the quality of your posts more on the quantity. Yeah you get paid for the posts you make but sometimes its not very much. I believe if you post one liners you get like one cent. and if you post quality messages you get a few more cents for one message. thats at least what i've noticed on my account.
