Annoyed over Tech Doctor Deals members?

I just joined the site. I haven't been there for two weeks yet. I signed up because I wanted to spy on the site. I was more of curious about the site and why it would pay more than MyLot when it is just so new. I didn't believe those who were saying that it pays $1 per post. To me, it was shouting SCAM already. Well if we were to write a short article, then it might be why. I will never know until I try.
So I finally signed up! I didn't like the design. It was too business-like of a forum. The design was dull! And the updates were annoying! Most of all, there are two kinds of membership. The thing I hate most about a site is when you have to pay something to fully enjoy it! :(
Until I got used to it. There were also a lot of valuable discussions in there. The old members were still kind and helpful. I found out based on the discussions that the forum used to pay 75 cents per quality post but now it boiled down to 30 cents. That is still a lot if you'll make a profession out of it. I mean post like 8 hours a day. :)
Now, there are also MyLotters who are also at TDD. When they can't air the complaints at TDD, they discuss here at MyLot. Is there a problem with that? If MyLot allows it, then why can't some MyLotters simply let it be.
Are you among those MyLotters who are annoyed over TDD members? Do you think discussing TDD should be allowed here?

The design is quite confusing for a while but when you'll get used to it, it's just easy.
I find the site's design boring though because it lacks color. :)

Yah! it's true, the design is somewhat confusing and it's totaly boring!! TDD is not so charming like mylot to me! The members are just writing for money, not from there heart!!! But in mylot i found a good platform for discussing about anything and the members are so friendly, i think mylotters are not writing only for money. And I also like the design of mylot.

Hey rinomab!
I think that's just fine too. Let's just wait what other MyLotters will have to say especially those who aren't at TDD. :)
Yes, I've found a lot of payment proofs but now I'm worried because they aren't even paying yet their premium members for their requests that were still requested October 15th. :(

Their payments are weekly. That's why. They pay every Friday. Thursday 11:59pm is their cutoff so you have to get you payment request on or before that. If you get past that, you will be paid on the next week. October 15th is Friday so those members you are talking about won't get paid the following week. Instead, they will be paid this week.

Hi sophiaraine!
If you've been reading a lot lately the forum. You will see some premium members who are also quite anxious to receive their payments which were still requested last October 15th. And the site is supposed to pay it's premium members first and usually the following day after Friday. Too many changes particularly on payment procedures tend to shaken the credibility of the site. Shouldn't they have studied it quite well enough before they had it implemented? Just saying. :)

TDD does no prohibit complaints against their site. I've seen several posts that air complaints. What is bothering me about TDD now is the fact that they keep changing rules on payment. I am sensing that TDD could no longer manage the growing number of members and now they don't know anymore where to get money to pay them so they keep on making alibis on why there is some delay in payments and also now they have refused to pay non-premium members starting November which is a sign that they really could not cope financially and has to take steps to minimize their expenses.

Hey salonga! :)
I never said TDD prohibits complaints against their site. :)
Maybe because a lot of times the site isn't accessible. I don't know when is the best time to be there. I always get the "sedo parking" thing. Does anyone else get that too?
Good observation you got there on their rules especially on payment.
I'm afraid to say it's heading towards Toneaday's direction.
Talk about the negative observations you have on TDD and your reputation will surely drop. :)

hi lalay~
i am a bit confused about the question.is it about complaints over TDD, how to use it made by them or something else??i think it is fine for them to discuss it here. and i would like to suggest to them to make a new interest with the title of TDD.it would be better that way.more organized and easy for TDD member to take a look at it.

Hi CTHanum! :)
Thank you for being truthful that my questions were quite confusing. :)
I only realized it after the others have replied to my post. I was wondering why nobody bothered to answer the real questions I have. Actually, I originally had in mind the fellow myLotters who aren't at TDD.
But the replies I got were mostly from myLotters who are also TDD members. It was quite a dismay on my part to realize I must have failed to convey my message correctly. :(
Now as I come to evaluate this whole discussion, what I got were mostly reactions from people trying to defend the site, TechDoctorDeals. I wasn't bad mouthing the site. I was merely being factual and even objective about my observations. :)
Your response answered my questions and your suggestion was an excellent one! :)
Thanks CHTanum. You really have read my post quite well.

I really hated the site as well because I will still have to read the 250++ posts of the admin and moderators there for me to be able to have my first post. And the more that I read their posts the posts seems to be adding double time than the post that I read. why is that?

That's because if you didn't read them right away, or if they didn't force you to do so, you will definitely be asking a lot of questions of "why, how, what, and when" in the future. Reading rules and announcements is an SOP. We join paying sites to earn extra money, but we have to follow their rules. It wouldn't be fair for them if we just post to earn. We still need to avoid spamming and that's why they're forcing you to read those threads. However, TDD is still young. They're still making upgrades on theire system so, all are good.
