Anybody want to be my referral, here is the link...

Right, coming from you it had to be a fluke - you don't do that When I see a title like that, which is not very often these days as I am in the money interests very often now, I investigate and for several reasons. If it is a new user posting a link for the first time I warn and advise not to do it again. If it is an older user I report. If it is a link to a known scam site I point out the fact that it is not fair on themselves or others to promote scam. If it is a site I have not heard of I first investigate, then point out anything I find worth warning about. This happened recently with a site offering a payout for answering questions. There were not enough questions available on the site for anyone to reach it. The site has since turned out to be a scam (and no-one offers their link for it any more ) Many new users come here to find ways for earning online and quite rightly so. However there are rules to be followed here. I also do not tolerate spammers trying to scam those who are new and just searching for their first online earning ventures. Nope Dawn a ref link from you, never

I feel that it is stated in the guidelines and that's enough. There is no need for a discussion about it. Posts containing referral links are removed automatically it seems to me and I find anything said on the board about referral links quite annoying. Most annoying is when someone adds a link to their source or some extra reading pertaining to their discussion and they type...."not a referral link" well der! it's quite obvious thank you and this really puts me off so please don't do it.

Bad girl! heehee. Actually your title for the discussion did peak my interest and was wondering if you really were going to leave a referral link. I did a discussion once to prove the idea that many people don't read beyond the title or at least first sentence since I posted a discussion that I was pregnant with an alien baby...and sure enough, one person took me seriously! I usually ignore people who do discussions and leave referral links since I'm thinking to myself..that discussion is going to be zapped. But I WILL report someone who replies in my discussions with nothing more than a referral link as a reply....then I start snooping and look at their profile and will find every single discussion they reply to is nothing more than there referral links.

I only looked because of the title of the discussion, especially knowing you know not to post referral links here. So very clever discussion starter. I genrerally avoid these type of discussions because they usually are deleted and a waste of time to respond to the discussion.

Three questions. One answer. NO!

I've heard reports of people being vindictive and getting you kicked off mylot if you report this sort of thing. I generally just ignore it. Usually this kind of comment is found in the make extra money category, and honestly it belongs there. anyone who is trying to make ends meet by making money online gets used to this sort of thing. People who send out a line like that are just wasting time. They would be better off waiting for someone to ask (they do it all the time) and then pointing to their referral link. then they would actually be helping someone and might get the referrals they are looking for!

Since I know you fairly well, I didn't think you would have any link posted here. I figured it was some kind of rant regarding people who spam or post links, thus violating the terms here and will probably get their posts deleted soon anyway. I WAS RIGHT!! Haha Sometimes I open those discussions and report them if I have extra time, but most times I just avoid them.

It irritates me to see those discussions, and normally I'll just roll my eyes at the person, but skip right past the discussion. If it's someone on my friends list, I may go in and delete them from my friends, depending on how often I see their name around Mylot. Like if I don't see them responding to my discussions much, and I don't respond to theirs much, I'll probably go ahead and delete them for a conversation like that. But other than that I just ignore it.

When I saw this - I was thinking that you gone all crazy! I don't check those discussions out - but since it was you - I had to check it! Hopefully discussions like this will open the eyes on some of those that posts referral links here *lol*

Hi ya dawny Phew that was close! You don't know how close you came to me ignoring your discussion completely! LOL I do make a point of reading people's discussion before jumping to conclusions but sometimes some of my friends on my friends list are prone to starting such like discussions and those I do ignore!

It is against the rules and MyLot has asked it be reported. There is the "!" box to do this. Yes, I report referral links, one because it against the rules, and two because if I cannot do it nobody else should. Encouraging referral links in the bodies of posts encourages spamming of the same.

pls revisit the rules and regulation section...

I thought I would find a referral link in here. Dawnald, is it improper to post a referral link here in myLot?
