MyWot For MyLot

Have you heard about this site called MyWot.com? Well now you do! I recently heard this domain through a forum. At first, I thought it was a mylot copycat but it turns out to be a trust rating website. It seems that mylot had failed miserably on Vendor Reliability, Privacy, and Child Safety. See the full report here: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.mylot.com You can even leave your comments. What do you think?

Well... we know where the spam comes from. All those desperate people looking to make two cents a day by finding some new referrals. They need to spam in order to find them. It is pretty much the only way for anyone who does not have his own website. But what suck big time on mylot... are the moderators. And the Star rating system.

I like it. I like the concept of rating websites. My only issue was with their rating this site unsafe for children. yes, we have mature content but in no way is it the bulk of the site. I wouldn't be here if it was.

This is a bit disappointing for the mylot site but have noticed a few mylotters have commented on how good this site is...Who cares about this review though...we all love mylot otherwise we wouldn't be here.

I see this as yet another skewed and biased representation whose results have been heavily influenced by people that probably never used mylot the way it's supposed to be used in the first place. There are many negative comments about mylot throughout the web and in an absolute majority of cases, these negative comments have been made by people that abused the system and got caught. I've been here 3 years and aside from the occasional gripe, I have nothing but praise for this site. The bottom line - Use mylot as stated in the guidelines and there'll rarely be an issue.

Hmmm. That's just silly. Things have to make sense before I believe a bad rating, especially about a place I know I would give a good rating. I was a little wishy washy about coming here before I did but since then, it's been nothing but good. I've been here since April of 2008. Privacy is fine unless you get a stalker, child safety? That doesn't really apply here unless your child can read and discussions amuse them... and you have no filters on.

That seems to be an interesting site. I've bookmarked it to be able to look up other websites. I don't however agree with you assessment that MyLot failed 'miserably'. MyLot is not a site that is marketed to children, so that part doesn't even apply. As far as privacy is concerned, members are told not to disclose personal information, and if they do it's their error in judgement. I find this site to be excellent and a lot of fun to be a part of.

How did myLot get such a bad rep!? I love this site, and I don't see anything wrong with it that I would complain about. I'm surprised.

Well let me see: It looks like it gets ratings from people that rated it. So therefore of course people are going to give bad ratings if they are angry with myLot. However it looks like the score has improved perhaps we have added good comments on there, yippie! Pablo

I haven't been on mylot much lately, but in the past I did see alot of adult-oriented discussion. It would be nice if they had a way to put "blocks" on for those who don't wish to see/read that type of content and then the post wouldn't be available for viewing if you opted to have it set that way. Of course that requires that the poster or someone appropriately flag the content as "adult" but I think most people are respectful of that. If Mylot DOES have this feature, someone please tell me because I am unaware of it.

Thank you for your valuable link. But it shows some graphical statistics about MyLot. What is the usage of this site? I could not understand.

i have my wot and i love it. when you are surfing the web it acts as a extra protective barrier to let you know what sites are safe from releasing your private data if wot ratings vary from very good to very bad and if it is a untrustworthy website it wont open or if somehow it dose my wot changes to red. my lot did not fail wot shows mylot to be a good site what are you looking at? I never used the forums on wot so i dont know what they are saying but now i think i will check it out
