Do you realise there is a My Lotter who starts a million discussions and never

Hi jenny I have been off the site for the last few days. I would have normally responded to this discussion sooner than this. I will have to agree with the others on here. You should respond back to make your earning levels go up. I know that the way I understand is that you get paid for what you type not what you read... I just hope that this mylotter will understand this and start to make things right. Good discussion and have a great evening. Keep smiling.

There are a few people I can think of who do this . . . maybe one of them is the person you are discussing here!! It's nice when people respond back to the responders in their discussion . . . at least you know someone took the time to read and make a comment . . . that's what a discussion is! But, it's not mandatory. Someone can just start discussions, but that won't get them too far. They don't receive any more earnings. And, in the end it will annoy people like us who will take the time to respond back . . . and people won't become a part of their mylot network knowing they don't make any other efforts.

I know what you mean. I had to delete one "friend" because my "friends started" was full, page after page, of rather useless discussions started by one person (who never replied to comments) and it became a nightmare to find discussions I wanted to interact with. A discussion is NOT a discussion if it only involves one person. Why bother asking a question if there is no interest in the responses of other members?

Jenny my dear, you really need a clear out of your friends list, you've hundreds and if they all start this habit, well. I thought you were talking about the man who who is a woman as he's pretty famous for this, followed by the once a month discussion of why she doesn't earn anything here, which she then tells the responsers (well the first two anyway) that they can't be right, and carries on doing the same. But you mean the other one who has started doing tons of this recently apparently to give other people a chance to respond to. By now you'll be assured that she earns nothing by not responding and I just don't respond to brick walls.

I never Knew that.I try to start a few discussions as well as reply to as many as i can,some days i get to come on here for along time where as other times i do not as i have a house to run as well as 6 children and the husband to keep happy.I have started lots of discussions tonight as i think there are alot of people out there that only reply to discussions and have not started any.

Maybe it is because she doesn't really know about that fact that you earn for what you type and not how popular your discussion is, but I for one, someone that has joined for only a few days, has made many discussions and I have replied to every discussion that has been responded to. I mean, that is because I have one discussion that no one responded to, so it would be weird if I responded to myself. But yeah... if it was only post and no re comment, then it would be a like a blog, where the author posts but doesn't respond. Actually, even worse than a blog, because the author sometimes responded. It will only be a one way thing and no communication. :(

That is great , i not sure if he/she is earning a lot but i think he/she enjoy doing what he/she is doing . More discussion equal to more choice , more choice equal to more response , more response equal to more money.

I think she is really wasting her time by just starting discussions and not replying to responses. I have been here for a long time and have seen people on my friends' list doing that, but guess what, after a while they drop out from Mylot because people stop responding to people if they never ever get a reply back. The whole point of a discussion is the exchange of ideas, the pennies are the icing on a cake.

you will get something for posting yes, but to make any real money you need to reply to everyone that answers your post. so this person is wasting her time if she is not replying to people who answer her post. and I would not even bother commenting on her stuff any longer! what a waste of time she is

I think those who started million discussions without ever coming back to comment on their responses have been misled into believing that posting gives them more earnings which I think is only a waste of time as they end up earning less than those who sporadically post but take the initiative to attend to every responses they received. Their participation are one sided and any discussions only become effective if the OP interact by way of giving out their comments. Nothing is gained from merely posting discussions. There must be a two way traffic to get the most out of a topic.

i'm pretty sure i know who you mean. i don't know..maybe they're just unclear on it. hopefully they'll change soon. i don't really think people make more doing that,but people usually stop answering them after a while if they never answer them back at all.

When I first started here I did not realize how important it was to respond to discussions so I only responded occasionally if I had a good answer for something. So some of my earlier discussions I did not reply. But now I try to reply as much as I can. I am surprised that, that person gets as many responses as she does if she never responds, you would think a lot of people would stop responding to her. But apparently things are working for her. It is a shame she never responsds though.

This annoys me so much. There have been many times when I have scrolled through the discussions page only to find discussion upon discussion all stacked on top of one another, all started by the SAME USER. Now I wouldn't mind, yet every time I have experienced such a thing, it's been blatantly obvious that each discussion has been rushed and posted without a second thought, introduced by no more than a single sentence, usually in the hope that they will increase the earnings of that particular user. If you're going to contribute to the community, contribute something worthwhile and of significant value, and please, if you're here simply for the money on offer, don't make it too obvious, at least put SOME effort into it.

I think I might know who you're talking about. w

I've seen a few like that on here. If they don't respond to their discussions....they earn nothing after the first two responses. It's just all dumb. It is usually newer ones that do that. They start a bunch of ridiculous and meaningless discussions and never respond to them and think they are doing good. They will either go away when they realize they are putting a lot of time into earning nothing or they will start some more meaningless discussions about why they are not earning anything.

Jennybianca did you not notice her points never changed even after she must have made twenty or more discussions she is badly informed. she only makes so much on the first,then she must comment on all her responses in order to earn anything,she is just spinning her wheels as she did not get credit for all those one or two line discussions. she must comment on our responses in order to make any money at all. she would done better to make responses on our discussions and comment on our responses to her many discussions instead. not replying is costing her money,I bet she does not realize that. when I reply or comment on the responses to my discussions my earnings that day really do go up a lot.no she will make less than we who make a few discussions and respond to a lot more and comment on the responses to our discussions. does this help, hope so.

Hi jennybianca, They would earn more if they commented back on their discussions. There are many here that just keep posting and posting without commenting back. I sometimes wont bother replying to a discussion if I know I wont get a reply. MyLot is an interactive site but some just don't get it. I have deleted a few friends that were on my list just because they seem to spam Mylot with a lot of discussions and never comment back. I hate seeing the "my friends started" section flooded with just one user and most of the time they are stupid discussions at that. At the end of the day it is those that do not respond back that earn the least so I guess it is poetic justice

Yes, I do realize it, but I don't know if we are talking about the same person. However, most of her discussions are about some light things and sometimes, I get confused what they are all about because there are just too many. OK, I have no issues on that matter, but I'm just being an observer and I think I will always pondering about why some members would shoot out so many discussions per day, but never get back to comment. Obviously, they will only earn from the discussions they start, but not the responses they receive. It seems that they will either never going to comment back on the responses or they don't know about this and could be they have their own strategies in handling their discussions.

Hi Jenny. I think if your going to put a discussion on here you should at least respond to those that respond to your discussions. It is just plain polite to give acknowledgment to those that respond to your discussions. Even if it is nothing but to say thank you for responding. I don't think anyone should earn for a discussion if they won't respond to their own discussion. At least 4-5 of the responses anyway. Hope you have a great day!

hey jennybianca! I really hate it when mylotters do that. It just pisses me off. Think about it. If everyone on Mylot does that. And none responds to others discussions, then there would be no more fun and everyone would be separated, it would no longer be considered a forum. I remember one day I was here, i think it was 3 days ago. There was a spammer who was spamming like crazy! He was making discussions so quickly. He or she, didn't know what the gender was, would make like 2 per minute and kept going, until she was at 100 something. After that, I have no idea what happened, but I am pretty sure that he or she was banned. I like responding to discussions because It gives me more to talk about. Right now, I only have 4 discussions that I started and the rest are points that I have responded to. I guess the only reason that your friend only starts discussions is that fact that they might be busy. It takes much less time to start a discussion than to reply to one. (well, for me it's like that!)I just hope that person is not considered a spammer, and then banned! oh well, have a great day and happy mylotting! Punnjab911!!!
