My arm is broken, I am bored, Too long,cannot read TOS

Hi, Hatley. Either they are just plain lazy or they just have a very hard time paying attention. It beats me. I don't know why they don't properly read the rules and guidelines. MyLot does not allow all kinds of discussions posted here. Soon, they will be deleted and they will not earn any money. I guess once they start to see their discussions disappear, they will begin to read what is expected of them while they are posting.

Dear Hatley, You seem like an experienced mylotter so should be able to tell me how to make hundreds of dollars every day here. Is it best to make some friends before I start spamming or scamming them or will anyone notice if I just do it in the middle of my mindnumbingly boring discussions which will earn me hundreds of dollars every day as everyone knows you don't need to respond to them. I got that tip from Colin as he asked that in a discussion. Really bored from North Croydon.

Hi Hately, To be very honest I was very lazy to read the rules in mylot in the beginning. I just went through it without any interest. But I learnt the rules from mylot discussions only by keep on observing other’s posts especially by the senior members, I learnt many things. Fortunately I started only one discussion which violates the guidelines (when I completed my 100 posts I got a 9 star so I started on discussion on the same topic without knowing that kind of topic is violating rules) but I escaped from the eyes of mylot (the topic still there). I agree the topics on reductions of earnings may be silly because those who have common sense can easily understand if you lose your points you may lose your money too. I will try my best to help new people if they need some help. I understand your concern, may be they want some topics to start and it can be easily understand when experienced people explain it.

Hi Hatley, I think this happens with most people, they never bother to read and be informed about the site rules or guidelines. It is only when they are in trouble that they start wondering, complaining,but still don't bother to analyse why it happened? In fact to teel you the truth I guess I too do not know half the rules and regulations here except the very obvious ones....Have a great day and all the best

Ugh, Hatley. Isn't that the truth? I think sometimes they sincerely do not know where to find the info, and other times, it's a bit of laziness that says it's easier to let others do the thinking or searching out an answer FOR them lol. Hugs, Karen

Hatley, what, your arm isn't broken! lol

Gee whiz, I read that your arm was broken, so happy to continue to read that it was just to get our attention. It worked. I think some of the newbies are just so eager to jump right in and start making quick easy money, then they find out, you have to work for your money. Plus some of its just plain laziness. I love your "new" word. "Boredomitis".

I suspect it is from the same reason that they post discussions and never read the responses or comment on them. They just are barely literate, and totally lazy.

lets-see-what-I-can-get-away-with-itis?

Reading the FAQ's is the best thing anyone can do. I remember when my earnings suddenly were gone. I read the FAQ's and it said you have to log in atleast once every 3 months. I realized I hadnt logged in for 6months. It sucks that I had to learn the hard way. I was so close to pay out.

Hello, Hatley. I see you're as fed up as I am about the time wasters and moaners that we keep trying to help. Shall we forget it, because we're not appreciated, as was made evident by Dollymixtures the other day. I have a really good reason for not reading the guidelines. I am an alien from the planet Zog and I do not understand English. I only speak Zogolese, but our planet is going through a recession like earth, and we have to earn some money, or our planet will become bankrupt. I cannot allow this to happen, because that would scupper our plans to dominate the universe, so I come to MyLot to earn valuable cents by starting discussions about ice cream flavours, do you like coffee or tea and what is your favourite colour. However, the earthlings are plotting to stop our invasion, because the Masters of Mylot keep deleting my discussions and taking away my stars and my earnings. And you think you've got problems? Try being a Zog invader for a day or two, and you'll find out what real trouble is.

Hi Hatley, younger generation! :) They are so accustomed to the check boxes! May be there should be a test at the end of TOS, which would give the mylot admin an idea whether or not the person has genuinely read the TOS. :) Alternately, some humorous way of presenting the terms might increase the visits there. :)

Hi Hatley! I thought I read that YOU broke your arm in the heading . . . but it sounds like you didn't - so PHEW! I must admit that when I started here, I didn't read the guidelines, tsk tsk. I was also a culprit of asking dumb questions on myLot instead of researching it for myself (I guess I thought it'd be faster? Or that maybe I'd get some personal advice to go along with the response?). I remember being a bit lost when I signed onto myLot . . . there should be something that makes the guidelines stick out so people won't overlook it. Initially it was difficult to navigate on this site, so perhaps people just don't know where to go to find the guidelines - as lame as that sounds. I will say on Yahoo Answers, they stress following the guidelines that it's in your face, but here the guidelines are kind of "in the background". Plus, I guess people see their myLot questions as potential discussions - so that's why they ask instead of looking for themselves.

They have a condition. It's called stupid. It has no cure.

You said it in a mouthful here, and so many times it is from the newbies who later complain about this site badmouthing it when in reality they never bothered to take time to read the TOS or SPAM here and there never expecting anything of the different. And then when their earnings are reflected they wonder why and go screaming somewhere crying wolf. In reality there have been a lot of people come and go in the time we have been here, and if the Newbies wouldn't ruin it for us older guys in here, this place would be a much happier one for sure.

All of the above Hatley...add stoopid, greedy, arrogant, immature and rude. Also add scam hunters, losers, idiots and know-it-alls. That should cover it my dear.

well when i first started i was just to lazy. anyway, even if they dont read it they can always find out by watching what others post and that answers a lot of questions. i done a lot of reading others posts before i posted so i would know how it all works and whats good and bad but i did read SOME of the guildlines. its just that they were boring

I think it is sad that the new users to the site don't take the time to read the terms of service for the site. I know that when I first started here I referred to it on a basis so that I could make sure that I was not making mistakes. Now, it seems that no one wants to read them and they are constantly making mistakes that would never be made if one did look at the terms of service. I think that you've said it best in saying that their wrists are just too stiff to scroll through all of the text in the terms of service.

Thanks for your warning,I am a newcomer,I didn't read any information from mylot carefully,because I am so lazy.Although I haven't found any problem,because my earnings is not more than ten dollars,I think,It's necessary to read the TOS,rules,guidelines,Q's and A's.

what happened to you man?why are you so distressed about mylot?then why are you using this site.if your complaints are not reaching them try again and again...where there is will there is a way
