how are you doing with mylot site?
do you always have this routine like reading first the topic and discussion then rate the member's post then post your response or comment?
what do you usually do here?
i think reading will always keep us learn new things and learn different points of views from other members here.
by rating,we should always have time to rate other's post to make them feel their post are being valued by our own selves.i think we are here to help each other out through ratings.
then posting our comments and responses also helps other's know our own thinking and keep them from learning new things.
once again,how do you do in terms of mylot discussions?

hi qian.yeah,i think most lotters are like you.when they have some topics in mind,they just let it out then respond on things they are interested in.we all have fun here and rating is just there but i think we should also rate others cause it will give us reputation to help us earn more.

I read others replies when I am interested in something, but I never ever rate them, its not our place to rate them its the discussion creators place to rate them. This is what gets me, its so misused, I see people all the time rating others when they shouldn't be doing it, in fact the other day someone said they were rating people with negative if they didn't care for the replies, this is just wrong.
People that rate all the replies, need to reread the guidelines, because we are not suppose to rate every response that we read, its just for those that we find useful. It also states in there that if you rate people with negative, that it can hurt you as well. therefore its always best to just leave anything alone, that we don't like for replies, I have done that before on my own discussions, if someone writes something that is so obsurd that it deserves a negative, I just leave it and don't rate it.

yeah, i think we should rate more of those exceptional posts which are really useful posts than those all responses we get.you are right that if we always rate negatively,it can hurt our own rating as well.
oh?you don't rate those who are posting absurdly? well,sometimes i rate those responses negative cause it won't help in a discussion.

MOst of the time, i will be reading, before responding to that post, after which rating it, be it, good or bad post, or whether i'm interested in it not.. haha =D
I will always be giving positive, and seldom negative, unless that topic is really boring, talking about the same old things, complaints etc.. haha =D There will be times, i will also be on a lookout for my mommy, in similiar post, to see if she's gossiping about me?? lol =D

yeah,posting without even reading is like nonsense,and what if the topic doesn't have anything to do with the contents of it? right?i have seen some discussions which are like that.
and when you scan with your laser eyes,doesn't mean you are understanding the whole thought of the topic.it's really important to read thoroughly for you to respond or comment accordingly.
hmmmmm,i think it's better to complain for having loooooooooong post rather than skipping and not even commenting to those posts ahead of you.
i feel like i'm invisible to you now,it's making me feel bad!
yeah,you are always stalking on your most lovable baby...

Hi anna,
I read the post, think about it and sometimes respond, but only if I feel I have something new to say. AS for rating, I only rate when the post is too good or too bad. As rating is anonymous, I much prefer to congratulate the member for a very good post. That way I´m sure he/she gets my praises.

I have always thought that people need praise for the good things they do. Parents tend to ground their children when they misbehave but don´t praise them enough for the good things they do. I don´t like that. After all, we are born to be happy!

you are right.most people or parents tend to see those bad things we have done.but when t's good things few people just do praise us.it doesn't feel right for sometime right?that's why i understand some children who become rebel on their families for this way can only be noticed by their parents.too bad! sometimes it's easier to do bad things than good ones,cause most people will notice you and for some reasons,they will love you also despite your bad deeds.i don't understand why.

Hello I always first read the topic name of the topic then I go read a post. Then I rate a post with + I never rate any people with - only in moments If he are violated the rules. Sometimes I read other people responses too, because It is interesting what other people think about that topic.
I am not here for money I like make new friends and learn something about they cultures and at the same time we get a good reward $. Sometimes I do not have a routine and I do not do anything. Yes we help to each other with rating and responding. Have a nice day!

Hi Annavi,
When I'm here at myLot I first check the titles of the discussions, then if the title is interesting enough I read the whole discussion, and if I feel like I have something to say or contribute, then I post a response. I've been here for over the year already (not very active though) but I have never rated a post.

haha you reminded me of myself back then.
i am also like you.i first read the topic and i find it interesting go on to the contents of it.then post my response.but sometimes just by reading the title itself sometimes means not relevant to its contents that's why we always have to read the contents not just the title for us to learn what's being discussed therein.
i also don't have much habit of rating people but nowadays i just learned i have to do it.cause it will help us go up.i just hope this topic would help you rate others from now on.thanks a lot!

yes,i agree with you.i think mylot should provide easy access on it to not be forgotten.i think we should have to take time to rate for it will be for tjhe betterment of all of us here. b making it more visible like having colors to it,people would tend to always remember to rate others also.

hi there,dmino! i guess you should read,rate and post.just like i said it.read the discussion then learn from it,rate it if you found it has an impact on you.then post your response.sometimes,by reading it takes a lot of time for us to do,then we can't find time to post our own thoughts cause of too much time we have been reading.i think we should have at least try to read for a while then rate and post the fast way as we can.for we might know,it has been an hour we haven't done some postings.i know that we just earn while we type.not by reading alone.i just hoped that we can earn also by staying here in the site while reading.maybe by that option,we could earn a lot.cause typing really needs an effort and time to make a dollar or a cent.
if you try to post longer and with a lot of sense,you can have increase in your earnings,just have fun and make new friends,by this way we can never know how earnings might grow.if you keep on thinking about earigns i guess you'll be pressured so much that you can't have earned from anything,just relax,take it easy!

As I am a student from a non-English speaking country,I comes to mylot for learning English at first.But after I have read so many discussion and views of different people,then I tried to respond to the discussion.
I like chatting with others on the Internet just as talking with someone in my real life.So if I have a chance to meet and chat with diffent people and I would let it slips.On mylot I share my views with others and sometimes my response may be commented,and I feel we are connected in spite of the long distance.I like this feeling.

Thank you for this discussion. I'm sure it will help older and newer members. Let's see...First I answer my mylot emails. Then I go the right side topics. Once I find an interesting topic...
I read the other responses. If it is a topic that answer is very simple and already answered, I go through and rate. I skip to next conversation. Once I find a discussion to contribute to, I start my response. If the member is below a rating of 50 I welcome them. Then I write my response. I spell-check as I write. I do my best to tie my answer directly to the original discussion. If I have read a particularly interest answer I may tie that in or I may go direct to that person and respond.
Next I go to "No responses, pg 2 or 3". etc.

hi there,i guess you are saying that you are from 8 to 7 my friend...

hi amanda! it's good to hear that you came back here.well,many lotters come and go without saying anything here.but yeah,we all have different lives outside this site to face.and being with mylot,you can learn lots of things that's why i know most of us here would always go back and log in here to post their thoughts.i hope i could hear from you whatever your posts maybe.
smiley,dear, how sad to know that thing!
you are one of the people here that i always wanted to interact but seems like you are too busy in your offline stuffs.i just wished we could have time again,soon...

heyo!!
when i was new in mylot, I felt obligated to rate every discussion and given them the best response but I realized that earning the best response needs lots of evaluation. That person should be deserving enough to be given that best response. I think that would be more heartwarming than giving each and everyone a star. ^^

HI anna!!
I think ratings and best responses is not the way mylot does in terms of earning. It's uploading photos, commenting, starting and replying to discussions and searching are ways on how you could earn here. As far as ratings? I'm not really sure about that. It's time for me to read the Faqs page(which I'm not fond of doing) hahaa.. Well I hope this gives you an idea about the ratings and best responses.
@annavi23 (6522)

17 Jul 10
same as you,i don't feel much of reading those FAQ's but i have read it once,when i was still newbie. best responses doesn't give us increase in earnings.it's just our award given by fellow mylotters to give us acknowledgment for such a great effort of sharing our wonderful thoughts.
all i know is we earn for what we type. i just wonder some said when we get 100/100 it serves as the reputation which means we earn gradually.
@annavi23 (6522)
• Philippines
16 Jul 10
oh?you think so?
i guess when you give them award as the best response make sure you rate them positive cause it's a way of evaluating others also.then,if you give them award,make sure you comment on it.some people here i notice they do give BR then leaving it all once,not even commenting on the response they got! i wonder why!
by rating positively,we all again our reputation here same as our earnings status.i think some people said here that if you got 100/100 you will earn gradually,how true is it?i am still confused with this idea!can you please fill me in?

hello akhi,
yeah,that's what we are supposed to do here,but i am asking,how do you do here at mylot?
do you enjoy yourself reading,writing or rating and posting?
what do you like most in mylot?
sometimes i do read a lot here without posting anything.
i just want to know those users thoughts on things.
sometimes i rate only after reading without even posting anything cause i have not much time for that.there are also times i read the topic then its contents and respond accordingly.sometimes i don't have time to read other's post.
how about you?how do you do here?

I tend to read a discussion first, then reply myself. Then I comment on others' responses. Sometimes I rate exceptional replies.
But I don't have a fixed routine. Sometimes I just rate when I can't think of a good response.

yeah,for some reasons i maybe like you.sometimes if i feel like not posting,i just read and read then rate some of those i found something interesting and exceptional posts which gives help to the certain discussion.i also don't have same routine always ,it depends on my mood also sometimes if i feel like reading more than posting or rating much it really depends also if i have much time to participate here.sometimes i have time to read but i seldom have time to post and rate as well.
