are you sick of these one-word answers?

Not only am I sick of the one-word answers, but they're against myLot's guidelines. The "guideline" link is at the bottom of every myLot page. As you come across the one-word discussions, all you have to do is report them using the ! key and myLot will delete them.

I think that most people think they are goiing to get rich on here. I personally don't think that it is about the money, I could be here for an hour and not even find anything to comment on. It shouldn't be like that. I think mylot should start eliminating these users who either continuously post these questions, or answer every question with either one word or something that doesn't make sense. It would eliminate people from getting tired or bored of searching for legitimate discussions to respond to. The concept of mylot is great, the control needs to be stepped up.

Oh yeah....I've already reported a few of them cause theyre not supposed to do it!...This is suppose to b for conversations...not grunting once in a while when u answer a question...maybe they should leave Mylot and go find Cavelot...lol

I am absolutely in agreement. I have a lot to say. I like to start interesting discussions that do involve more than a word or two. Often, when the discussion is only meant to derive a word or two, I elaborate as much as possible.

Not only does it get boring reading message after message filled with responses that require no thought, but it can get fustrating. I like to find a discussion that has a good topic that will generate quality responses and can make others genuinely want to go back because you honestly want to participate in that discussion. After all does anyone really care how old everyone else is? Will anyone remember tomorrow? The discussions that are started with the intention of having good conversations are the ones that make MyLot worth signing on. :)

I completely agree with you,but maybe I am still a little green. I really like the discussions where you find out a bit about the other people that have answered and where you can share a bit of yourself with them as well. Because I type very fast I suppose for me it would not take long to write several paragraphs. I guess some people are just trying to make money from this, but although I can do with the money I dont think that even if I responded 24/7 it would actually be enough to keep living on. Therefore, I like to respond in as many words as necessary, and dont plan to answer in one or two words anymore ever

I agree...the questions where people want a yes or no answer or stupid questions like the ones you mentioned! I always give them a - ...... I don't know what that does but I do it! I don't see the point of starting a discussion when it's not really a discussion!

I find these a waste of time, and do not answer them anymore. I think it should be about Quality of posts, and answers, and not quantity. The ones that get me even more than this, is say Hi!! and I will give you a +.

LOL I am as well.. But the funny thing is...is that Mylot is trying to cut that down. They won't pay you for one word answers and such! So I guess it would be their loss! hahaha. Those people need to read the RULES! LOL When I first started on here, I loved it. but lately there are some lame questions on here.

I actually started a discussion quite similar to this. Another user told me that there would be points deducted, questions removed, and ultimately suspension if the same user kept answering with one words or sentences. I don't know true this is yet but I would like to see it implemented. I get really tired of weeding through questions about favorite colors or "AM I HOT" etc etc.

Alot of people just reply to get money.I would much rather have an interesting conversation anyday.I avoid those topics that only require a one or two word answer.

I have been here for the past 5 days and I am absolutely sick of seeing those stupid questions. I think its just lame and pathetic of people to ask such studid questions. I spend most of my time choosing the questions which I can answer.

I have been a member here for a couple of days now and i must admit the first day i was here i saw so many of those one word answers required posts and by the end of the day i was honestly sick of it, But today i havent been on mylot as much but i havent seen as many of them as yesterday! Some people are just all about the money and think replying with one or two will actually get them lots of money!

I couldn't agree more. I not only want to earn money, but I want to have some great conversation about more serious things in life. And if people think that typing in the word "yes" or "My eyes are blue" are going to make a lot of money, they're wrong. Let's have some serious discussions, folks! :-)

Sometimes. But it is alright with me. I just add some sense to my answer to make it a little longer.

I think that some of the stupid questions only deserve one answer like what do you like coke or pepsi.How in the world would you or why would you want to add a story?

Yes I have noticed that to I mean sometimes you can only answer that but even when you ask a question that requires more you still just get the one word and then it has nothing to do with the topic

Is the revolt still alive?

I guess we all need to report the people that are replying with one word answers or keep saying "ok" or "i don't know". I have seen quite a few of those.

i feel the same way too, when I was posting a serious topic for discusion and answered as yes or no, it does not satisfy me. It should be better if MyLot can do something on this kind of answer. What do you think?
