The number of discussions started........

I would be happy if the limit was set to one a week! I don't start even one a week and last month I didn't start any at all during the whole month (but I still reached payout just the same). Starting a topic is one thing. Starting a discussion is another. Indeed a topic where the starter of the discussion does not participate is often not a quality discussion, just a question with a series of answers. It is so sad that many Lotters think that starting a topic is all that they have to do to earn here. They think that they earn for the responses that others post. Hw wrong they are! We earn for discussing here on myLot and only gor what we type, not for what others do

Not at all I think that that would be totally unfair. When you join mylot you choose your interests and so you are shown all the topics that are under discussion in those interests. It would also become boring with a lot less discussions, as it is now there are sometimes only the 'how can I make money' type of discussions around which I don't bother responding to usually.

I do not think there should be limits. I posted 15 discussions yesterday. I spend most of my day reading news so I have a lot to say. I dont duplicate discussions but I try to vary them. I think the more discussions there are, leaves more for responders to do.

We should set our individual limitations on our discussions. If we start too many discussions, it is hard to keep us. The momentum can be lost in the flow of words.

I don't think so.I didn't try 3 or more discussion in particular day.But i already find some friends create 3 or more discussion on particular day.

yes,i agree with you. every mylotter should be limited to start a number of discussions per day. it's a good measures to improve the quality of the discussions. but 3 discussions per day is too less in my opinion. how about 10? lol.

Not necessarily. There may be days when a myLotter has a whole lot of meaningful things to share with the community and therefore should be allowed to post them all, providing that the proper guidelines are followed. Then again there are those who often post what the majority would call junk. If a myLot member is trying to make worthwhile contrubutions, then I say keep on posting. Of course, like you said, it would be much much better if that same member spends time and communicates with others on various discussions. The only way I see getting around this is if the administration were able to monitor each member's activities. I don't know that that would be possible.

Hi bhaskar, I don't think that limiting the amount of discussions one can start will solve the problem or be fair to those that do start many quality discussions. Maybe if everyone stopped responding to the non-quality discussions then they would start putting more effort into their discussions. Then again, what is a good discussion is really a matter of opinion.

I am not really sure what to say about it. I do think though,that the ones that do start a lot of discussions, do need to take time to comment back to the responses which some won't do. I guess they think they will earn must by posting a discussions, and earn from the responses, but it just doesn't work that way, but in time they will be in for a big surprise, when they don't earn. I get tired of seeing one discussion after another, and no comments posted. I post comments to every ne of the responses I receive as it is only common courtesy to do so. After all, they took the time to read my discussion and post a response, so i want to be courteous and comment back. That is the way it should be, and someday, some will earn that the hard way. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I don't think we should limit he discussions here. There are certain topics that are quite interesting to some but not to others. If discussions are limited then we simply have lesser options to respond with, don't we? It is the responsibility of mylotter to post quality discussion as well as to respond to them. Besides,he who is diligently responding and commenting are the ones who are earning. Have a great day, Bhaskar.;-)

The more discussions others started the more choices each member will have in choosing which topic to respond to. There are members who can start a lot of discussions in a day but it doesn't mean that those are not quality discussions. it doesn't also follow that when a member post a single discussion in a day means that that discussion is already a quality discussion. That's the good thing about this site, it doesn't restrict or limit the members to just a few discussions in a day. If you want to earn more then you just have to focus more attention to the quality of your discussions and comments, that way you don't even have to start a lot of discussions. This site also provides an opportunity to those who are not native english speakers to express their ideas with their limited english capability.

I do not think so that there should be a limitation when it comes to discussions. This is how we earned so I guess they should not limit our earning capacity. Its the system that checking the quality of your discussions if its not that good they you could not earn that much. Although they are only giving us cents and cents.

I don't really mind if there was a set limit. I am happy to join someone's discussion. I do agree that there are lots of mindless discussion started, but then again, that's their right.
