I have a question I would like to pose but I am not really sure if this idea has been brought up before.
I was thinking it would be a good idea if our earnings would appear right after we post or make a response so we can see what we earned right away.
I personally think it would add incentive to keep involved. Do you think the myLot administration would consider it?

I think that would be nice to know right away where you are. There are some days when I've more active than others - usually it's a question of time available. So I'd like to know how my earnings are computed with each addition. However I'm not really sure how the system as a whole works: Is the system based on participation per response or discussion or is it much more complicated?

Thanks for joining another one of my discussions deejean. I do agree that it would be nice to know right away where we are at in the situation of responses and posts. I do believe however that the administration uses a system all of their own and they compute the earnings through their own discretion.
The responses I have been getting have been very helpful to my understanding a little better. I do know that keeping up with the participation facet of this forum is the best way to earn money.
As far as how it is all calculated I think it is a big secret.

You are right that it is something to look forward to each day. I do like to see my earnings reflected on a regular daily basis when I can.

I am all for it! It would be really nice to have this feature. They have something similar on morachat, where it comes on instantly after you post. You even come to know how much you earn per post.It would be a real incentive for the members. I hope the admins do think about it ..

I appreciate your thumbs up. I have had replies where people have agreed with me about this type of idea but I am now not sure how well it would work out because there are so many of us here.
I do understand that there are other sites that have implemented that idea. How are you doing on morachat if you don't mind me asking?

I am not very active on morachat because I don't find the time to use too many sites. It is a little more complicated than here, in that one has to go to different sections and find topics.I also felt that there were too many restrictions and interferences unlike here, and somehow i felt very restricted there ...It does have some good features and some really great members though !

I think it sounds like a good idea. It would be good to see the earnings update right after we post the discussions. I think they mihgt consider improving it.

Thank you for your reply mermaid. I also think it would be a great incentive for people to keep posting and stay active however I believe that it would be a lot for the administration to keep up with.
Nevertheless I am happy that we do get paid daily and it is a legitimate site. Haven't had too many problems with myLot thus far.

If it was a good idea it would have been done? All is automated and don't forget there are probably milions of people online so to do what you suggest is infeasable.

Thanks for jumping in DancingRedFeather.
You strike a good point there friend. It probably would have been implemented by now, the idea that I came up with.
Too many people are in this community of myLot that the administration might not be able to keep up. Not feasible at all.

What you thought sounds like a good idea, i think most mylotters would hope that myLot can provide the function like that, it can make mylotters see their earning more expediently. but if the system add this function, it will indeed increase a huge burden to the myLot system because there are so many mylotter on line at the same time.the mylot administration may consider the idea you mentioned, they maybe have consideredd it a long time age but have not implemented it yet because of the effect that adding this function would cause.

Thank you for responding. I see that you are new here. I wish you luck at myLot.
You do have a good point that there are so many people on line here at the same time and it just might not be feasible to do.
I just thought that my idea could foster some more encouragement for myself along with fellow myLotters. Take care.

I think it is a great idea too but it seems to be an idea that is starting to fade because I think it would involve a lot of work on the administration's part to keep up with all of the members.
I am not sure just how feasible it will be in the long run.

That would be nice but it would require someone to work on the software and that takes money. I don't think we'll get something like that anytime soon!

That is so true and thanks for responding friend. I didn't consider the software that might have to be involved in that situation.
Well I tried and I thought I would just get everyone's opinion.
I am not counting on that feature here any time soon either.

its okay for me to wait for the next day to find out how much i made for the day. i think in that way we make more post. and mylot does not pay on the number of post but on how your potst is composed of. remember it is the quality they are paying and not the quantity. it maybe add the incentive but i think they still need time to evaluate every post so it is more convinient for to atleast have 24 hours. just my opinion on this.

I can see where you are coming from. I also like to see what my earnings are with each passing day when I can. I just thought that I would present the idea about updating earnings after each post or response. It could make things more interesting in my opinion.
I do agree that they are paying for quality. That is very important especially in most areas of life.

I don't think they would consider it as they change the earnings when someone's discussion has been deleted, thus it's better to leave it as it so that they can better reflect the earnings without so much confusion in the part of the posters.

I think that they might not consider it either. It might be too much involved in order for that type of thing to work.
I believe you are right that there would be some confusion and there are plenty other variables involved such as discussions getting deleted amongst other issues.
Thank you for jumping into the discussion. I appreciate it.

That is a very good idea bamakelly. If mylot could do that, it will encourage users to post more and more. Seeing your earnings right after posting would drive each of the user to increase activity as they of course would love seeing their earnings adding up. But I doubt if mylot could do that. I hope they take this idea of yours seriously.

That is exactly what my idea for this is all about. But I am coming to the quick understanding by some of the other respondents that it would be just too much for the administration to keep up with.
I guess we need to be happy that we are getting paid and it is a legitimate site. I just thought that seeing earnings right away would be a source of incentive and further encouragement to members.

Hi dear!!
Yeah its a really good idea.We can really improve our responses.The quality of discussions also will get lifted up.If this add up happens,people will definitely post more responses and they will start more and more new discussions.Through this mylot will definitely get popular.We will also get to know the maximum amount we can earn in a single response.For this the programming will be a very difficult task.Because it has to judge many aspects in a response.Like punctuation,grammar,quality of response etc..,
But if mylot adds up this option,then it'll lift up to a great online making site.
Any ways..Great idea!!!!
keep mylotting!!
Keep smiling!!!

Thank you very much for agreeing with my thought process. Some of the other responses I have been receiving have been making a lot of sense in the fact that the myLot administration would just have too much to do in being able to calculate or compute each real time response or post that we make.
Nevertheless it would be great for an add up to occur. I am not sure how well that will work out at this time.
You are so right about your idea of the responses and participation going up. That is how I would look at it. I might be on here twice as long during the day if regular updating were to occur!lol

It is a good idea but the administration cannot put into practical shape because these people review the posts and discussions and check its quality and after that credit earnings.If they start giving earnings at the same time the post is being started or responded then the quality of responses and posts will definitely decline.

I can see your point in all of this as well as the other people that have replied to my idea.
You raise a good point when you mention that the practical shape of it all wouldn't really work because those people need to review posts and discussions and be able to summarize what the quality is and then give us our earnings.
Just a thought on my part and I thank you for taking the time to reply.

I like your articulation of what your opinion is on this matter. It would not be a bad idea but there would be too much technicalities involved and it might not be worth their time and effort.
You are right about it probably becoming too much of an encumbrance to keep up with everyone. Thanks for replying. You have responded twice to my discussion I see.

You are right. I have thought about that idea already. The fact that there are a lot of members in the myLot community. I imagine too many for them to keep up with all of us!
I just thought I would come up with a novel idea and see how it goes. Something as food for thought. Thank you very much for your reply.

I think they would never update earnings after response, for two reasons: 1) I think administration should have the time to counts earnings. I think it is not possible to count earnings in real time because they've to analize response quality.
2) without real time earning counting mylot members are better motivated to write and reply discussions because they don't know how much they're earning.

Hi bama
I think that would be a good idea, but as you said the administration may think about it. is it written anywhere how much you earn fo each post?
@bamakelly (5191)

Thanks kaleegirl for replying. I am happy you joined my discussion today. It was just a fleeting thought that I have from time to time in my head. I don't think it will be possible for the myLot administration to make this happen. I am just happy they are paying us in a timely and legitimate manner.
I am not sure how much you earn for each post because that I believe it is something that is at the administration's discretion.

Hi bamakelly,
I also think it will be a nice idea but the practical side may be difficult. If Mylot administration will think to consider the same then it is wonderful. We will be able to understand the earning soon after postings. I think it will be a boost to those who keep mylotting. Let us hope for the best.

It would be helpful but it's not going to happen if you look at your earning stm. you will see they are about 2 days behind. And even the daily amt is often posted late in the day. They could up date their program but like anything else that takes someone's time and I bet it just will not happen. Just be thankful they pay us.

You are so right about your way of looking at things. It was just an idea I came up with but there are just too many members in this community to account for. I am happy that this is a strong and legitimate site and we do get paid. Thank goodness for that.
You are probably right that the earnings aren't going to update in that fashion but it was just a thought. Take care friend.

hello bamakelly
That is really a nice idea so we can know how much we earn from every post. But I think it will be a little hard for the admins. Also, we earn from the responses we got from the discussions we start, so it will still be confusing. we might be responding to other discussion then somebody else is also responding to the discussion we started. so we earn both ways. the system might go crazy updating.
happy mylotting

Hi! Your is not a bad idea but may be they have some technical problem due to which that is not done yet. Besides there are so many users and it could be a problem for them to keep track of all at a time. Hope they do something of this sort.
