Read the mylot rules before you weep over someone asking for money

There are rules here? How did that happen??

What again? Someone is begging again on here? Do they really think we will fall for it? If they can afford tobe here in the first place they have no need to beg!

Some members are sneaky and don't actually come right out with asking for money but they go on and on about how desperate they are and you just know it's a big hint to give them money. They get away with it too. What really bugs me is that they talk about all the stuff they have....they sure don't go without anything and when folk give them money (they beg off line as well) they never tell how they repay it when they get on their feet again. I'm so sick of the ...oh poor me and my family who are doing things so tough...but because I'm such a wonderful and good and thoughtful person I will have to take everyone on holiday in our new ATV and camper because we have had such a hard year...I made that up but you get the idea.

yes, it really is something, seeing people beg for money. they should sell their computers and cancel their internet subscription. That will make them money! hahahaha... what some people would go through for a little amount. yes, i think people should start reading the rules.

actually i did come across such a discussion. and if i am not mistaken it was about $7?. i just thought to myself...this guy has a PC, internet and has just crossed his teens..i wonder who will fall for it? and i proceeded with my work. i think it is just a prank (probably inspired by some scam site). agreed knowing rules is necessary. you either read it or will be taught by making similar mistakes.

Hello my friend How are you? I know most of the rules not all but I know enough not to say some things in mylot there are just some things as mylotters we should not do, My computer has been giving me such a hard time my friend so I was not able to respond like I normally would, things seem a little better now so I will respond to discussions that I have missed

Yes that's right. Right now I am in the worse shape I have ever been in and I never would have imagined this was going to one day ever happen to me but to flat out ask for money??? That is just NOT OK Rules or No Rules. I have seen where people have asked for money. I have a button that reads Del and I use it.

I think it's common sense to read the rules before you start on any site, including MyLot. As for asking for money online specifically MyLot, it isn't the first time it's happened. I make it a rule that unless I personally know the person and their situation, I don't loan money or donate. After all, just b/c someone says their having a hard time and needs money, doesn't mean it's true. My understanding is that you can get banned from MyLot if they find out your posting discussions to get money from ppl. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Yes .. I DO Agree It is Indeed wrong .. But Who Is Asking For Money My Friend .. I Have Not Come Across Anyone .. Why Do you Want to Make this A Big Issue Without Being Clear About it .. Who's That Person, When And Where Did You Find this Discussion .. Thank You For Making Me Clear .. This Am Saying In Advance ..

Hi Hatley, Am not sure why the rules have to be read that much mainly as you always get a warning if you have spelt a word wrong in a discussion and as long as you just do as we all do eg discussions and responses perhaps even tasks then really what else is there really to know. Only if you are a newbie then if makes sense to know how and when we are paid and a few other things like that...LoLo

Hi Patsie. I know it is not allowed to post on the Lot to ask for money. And I have totally understand the rules. Neil

If you're referring to the discussion I think you, then all I can say is you have no sense of humour, no sense of irony, and take yourself a lot too seriously. It's a joke, for crissake. Lash

Yeah it is pretty sad when you see people begging for money, expecially over the internet. Spending money for internet so you can beg for more money on the internet. I guess they should make a feature that you have to go through the rules at least once before allowed to move forward in the registration form.

It is really important to read the rules so that we won't be penalized. Some of us also have financial problems but then begging is not the solution to the problem. We have to work hard to earn a living. There are plenty of online and offline jobs so we just have to be industrious enough in order to earn money. Begging online is definitely a NO.

Gee whiz Hatley, you mean I can't ask you for money, even if I say please Hatley please with sugar on top. I always thought you were such a nice lady too..... Ok, I won't cry, boo hoo.

Hi Hatley, I hope you don't mind my honesty here but I think you're being a bit harsh about this because you really don't know what the situation is with this person. I know it's not ok to do it on mylot but sometimes people get really desperate and will go to great lengths to get help. I did last year because I had to. Not because I wanted to but because I HAD to. I had to put out jars asking for donations because my mom was in the hospital and we didn't think she'd make it but she did and gosh, the gas to go see her and be there for her to be sure that the low down dirty rotten a$$es for doctors and nurses treated her right. Some of my friends on here know exactly what I'm talking about because we've exchanged emails so much and I received help in all different directions. If it weren't for the help that I received for my parents as well as for myself, we wouldn't have had anything to eat or gas to see my mom. Sometimes desperate times calls for desperate measures. I don't think you meant it to be harsh but well.... wanted to point that out is all.

Yes I think people should read the rules but I doubt everyone does. Who's asking for money? I must have skipped right over that discussion.

guess iam guilty of not reading all the rules. but i would know NOT to ask for money. thats got to be a rule all over the internet, but some people are still dumb enough to try it. why would they not think we need the money or else we would not be typing our butts off also? not that thats why im here but it is a part of the perks of mylot. so, what makes them think we are rich enough to just send to anyone that asks? nother thing, why did mylot not delete it right away? my little poem was deleted within a few hours. thats why i said i guess i didnt read all the rules because i still dont know what i did wrong. it was a very nice little thing.

Hey there Hatley Hmm I must admit that I am guilty as charged that I can say that I haven't read the rules but I do know roughly the do's and don'ts and asking for money is something I would even dream of doing here on mylot, against the rules of mylot or not!

I haven't seen someone begging yet because I'm new here but it's soliciting and they should be banned. We all need money obviously but to be so bold and callous to post here speaks of character. You're right, people should read the rules first.
