Hello there, You should guys all know that this site practice good community relations with different people across the globe. Even if there's some debates and misunderstandings, there shouldn't be conversations that leads to personal insults and hateful remarks. that's why even though mylot is not popular as facebook, they retain their guidelines as many people have come to like this place, including me. Well, in my opinion it really keeps the bad energy away, though you can rant but you gotta channel it the right way and positive way for people to understand what ever rant or problems that you have putting it in the discussion. You don't have to pretend but at least give the user a benefit of a doubt. Have a nice day.

Hi,Letran! Yeah,of course we all should.So far,I haven't seen any personal insults or whatsoever between mylotters.And I certainly hope that I would never encounter such kind of situations.Not on me,not on anybody else.People all need to be respected.We may have different backgrounds,different opinions towards certain things,but it's never an easy call to decide who is right or who is wrong.Disagreements are ok.But when it comes to insult or hatred,it is really not necessary.I think for those who have developed a habit of being aggressive,they won't have high rankings themselves.It's punishment from fellow mylotters.So at the end,they are the ones to suffer the consequences. BTW,I don't know if you have received my PM or not.Hope to hear from you soon. Have a nice day! Sarah

Hello BabyAnna, Well, back then mylot was a bit worse than before because of the insults and trolls but now things are getting better from time to time.maybe we shouldn't bang our heads in conflicting with different beliefs and thus, do our best to trust each other instead of getting mad at each other. i think disagreements should be done in a civil way not more showing a bit insult to some one. Don't worry i have confirmed you're Message. i have sent my reply Have a sweet day

Oh,yeah,trolling.I was just thinking about it.Then I forgot to type it down again.Terrible memory. I once recommended this site to a friend(or a teacher?)of mine.His first question was "could I troll there".I said no.And then he said "oh,I only love those sites where I can troll".I think he was just joking.He is a nice fellow.But sometimes he likes making jokes.Hehe.Sometimes we can have fun without trolling,can't we?

Yes. This site gives us the chance to speak out our thoughts but we should be careful cause we can't stop people say their opinions regarding our behavior. We should be acceptable that we have different beliefs so learn how to respect others.

Hello Mspitot, Well, we can speak at the civilized level, don't need to be rude like what others do in non paying social networking sites. though there are moderators there, i don't think they can just eliminate one troll or the other. I agree that we should respect each other's opinions no matter what the view is. these days i have been doing my best to understands others view but sometimes i can be pretty sensitive. Have a nice day.

Yeah! Mylot makes you smarter. You want to go on a rant but instead you have to channel the negative into positive. In order to do that you have to use many adjectives and write quite descriptively. So mylot is a way for for smart, mature, level-headed people to write, vent, and earn money online. cool!

Hello newman, It does make you talk smart but in the real world I guess it's really quite different. It's not easy sometimes I go negative and some times it's rare that I can channel it into a positive note. But you know, it's not that bad since we get the opportunity to chat with people that they don't normally chat us around in the real world. Have a nice day.

Yes, staying positive in the real world is much easier said than done; Especially in difficult times. Trust me, everyone goes through woe and sorrow. In my experience however, it is vitally important to maintain a positive mental attitude so that turning a negative into a positive becomes second-nature. Then you become a positive beacon for others. Yeah, i think its real cool we can chat and blog from across the globe. Good topic! p.s. I love seinfeld! but its not my real name. ;)

Hello Catch I think you have become very civil from the start and these people just didn't like being insulted because they took it with misunderstanding. Like you're experience, unfortunately, not all can last with that kind of attitude. But they hide and sickly rate people negative or report their topic even though its' not a violation.

I agree with you. You can disagree with someone and debate them without insulting them or calling them names. Too many people take things personally, as if they are being attacked in person and that's not the way it should be. People need a thicker skin and have to realize that not everything is directed at them personally. Always be civil and respect someone until they give you reason not to.

Hello Dragon4u, Unfortunately, am one of those people who didn't like the tone of one lotter once. There was this filipino lotter whom I thought was doing good because he seems to be intelligent and good with debates. Until he got into some trouble with mylottters and “Blame me” for what happened. I hope more people will become civil in the future.

One of the good things about Mylot is that most of the people here discuss, ask and answer things in a cordial and helpful manner. This is not the norm in the outside, offline world. There, these days, being polite and generous is at times considered a weakness. It is shocking as to why people are always trying to take advantage of a nice person. I have learnt things the hard way. Mylot and some other sites are in a different league altogether. Why cannot be real life behavior of people the same? Why so much rudeness in that case?

Hi LetraKnight, If people did not have proper etiquette and manner they learn them here but they have to have the patience. No racial comment, no fault finding, no division but all are mylot user first and their whereabouts and other information second. When I joined this this site three years ago the rules were not so strict as they are today. Let them say bye bye to mylot but the admin cares not at all. And after one is civilized he/she should know that earning money here is not the primary practice but a honorarium.

Hello Krajib, Yeah, that's right. actually, i was around already then when there's a lot of crap users who does nothing but to trash the site, which was unacceptable.i believe now that with out strict law, things are really going for the worse in this site compare or a lot worse probably a lot from other social networking sites. have a nice day

Hi Letran Knight: Good to see you again. I agree with you. In fact when I see there's a bad atmosphere I prefer to get away from that place. I value my peace and I am here to meet some freinds, participate on interesting discussions and of course for earning some money. I don't want to have dramma in my life. ALVARO

Hello StarSailover, WOW! That's a nice and cool avatar you got there. More mature and more like you than the last one. This is more manly while the avatar than the geeky look, no offense. We all have to get away from discussions or post that provokes nothing more than just to hate and provoke violence against each other. Have a nice day.

Hello we may or may not like one's discussion, if we don't like better not to respond, if at all one responds the words must be polite so as not to hurt the discussion creator; but at times i have seen harsh comments, you might have seen some times in my discussions, i say; 'Please keep your responses clean', we are not here to fight Professor

Hello Professor2010, We can't help it if we see people that doesn't respond well or favorable to our discussion. sometimes i feel upset about it, but you know i try my best to avoid confrontation. like one time, when i feel emotional or angry about the response, it's either i leave it and proceed to the next response. and then, when i am calm, that's the time that i would start commenting in a rational manner. have a nice day.

Hello Letran While a member here I treat each and every person exactly like I would off-line. I am not rude or crude by no means so I would not be this way online at all. Does not mean that at all times it is reciprocated but at least I personally do not loose my ethics and caring ways. When I type something to an avatar/picture my muind is not thinking that is a picture but more like there is a person behind it. So while I am speaking to that person I do it exactly the way I want to be spoken to. I understand that I will not always be treated fairly but as long as I do not change my own character I am happy with me. See I sleep with me at night so I have to be happy with me. Being cruel and or abusive is not in my nature, so I can pretend to be by no means. I do understand that at times we cannot have everyone agree 100% or even 1% of the time, but being abusive is a whole different story and I don't intend/pretend to ever be.
• Philippines
29 Apr 11
Hello Hardworkinggurl, Even if we do agree on the post, it's not 100% that we agree to it. either some just wants to get along with the crowd or simply they just want to allow the majority of their positive thoughts to reign all over the negative. being too abusive is something that can never be in mylot though. i wouldn't allow such when they start coming here again. besides, we got an admin.

I totally agree with you LetranKnights. Everyone is free to give their opinion over something being discussed, but they should also respect the opinions of others if it contradicts with theirs. We are here to enjoy sharing opinions, not appear superior with anyone.

Hello Simply, that is very true, respect is the reason why others get along well. though some of us, even me reacted to some situation i believe that we should do our best to get along and not force on some one's belief to the other. i did experience this and instead i got a negative feed back on something.have a nice day

it is true that facebook is far better than mylot, but i love them both, in facebook i have lots of friend and they used to give me some happiness. in mylot i learned a lot of things which enjoyed being here. Well I love having debates because we learned a lot of things from it while earning. And you are right we have to make it in positive way

Hello Lovebugjess, I never believed that facebook is a lot better than mylot. The one thing that facebook got is the popularity and some cool gadgets. If the people started noticing mylot as a good positive out look for a social site then it's really going to be mylot. I learned a lot from the people of this site, I sure hope you would do the same. Don't worry, things will go well to you have a nice day.

I agree. I have learned when people respond with something negative, I just do not feed into it. I try my best not to offend anyone here and have a good time and be helpful if possible. I wish everyone here was like that. Most are.

Hello Steph, We can't let outselves be frustrated with some negative remarks because we know it won't last.i do my best to be neutral, sometimes the truth hurts but I tried my best to be neutral all the time. Most are like that but sometimes when they're true color is exposed, that's hard to be able to maintain back. Have a nice day.

It comes down to common sense, politeness and tact don’t you think? I think that it should the general rule for dealing for people in general on and off line. Everybody is entitled to a difference of opinion and a rant or two but it is important to keep it civilized as you say. If we all come here with a positive outlook we cannot go wrong, I think.

Hello Paula, I know people can goof off out side the internet but in mylot they should try to practice more patience and understanding more. Because not only they will get bashing from the people but also coming from the admin where they will get deleted. There's nothing wrong with being positive. Though some can come here and show they're rant and anger, they shouldn't bashed it on other people responding to them. Thanx and have a nice day.

There is an easy way out and that is to keep away from those who don't see eye to eye with each other. There is plenty of fish in the ocean and so have a pick!

Hello Allknowing, Wow, that is so good and so true that I believe you on this. Actually I was about to thrive to get close to some one but unfortunately, I sense that the person also wants to keep away. Therefore, am doing my best to just ask common questions instead. Maybe I should gather and get to know these fishes before I start picking one. Have a nice day.

I agree with you. This site is an awful help to everybody concerned and it should always be practiced to keep an open mind and be polite, most especially to fellow Mylotters in the discussion. It always boils down to freedom and respect. And people who don't know how to strike a balance in those two arenas can create a awful scenario between the persons who are engaging in a discussion as well as the perosn who posted the discussion. I think that since this discussion site is mostly of the written kind, more people should be careful of what they say or more specifically what they write and post, whether it is a response or a topic discussion. MyLot is not perfect. They are people who do insult and are disrespectful of other members but I believe that majority of the people engaging in this activities are educated, professional and have an open mind. Let's hope we won't be starting a civil digital war here in MyLot.

28 Apr 11
Hello Jeanne, I don't think mylot is perfect but I strongly consider it safe most specially if you're totally anonymous from some one here or every one here. But that's where the abuse comes in and takes us. With regards to the civil digital war, I think these has happened in the past and it's really irritating some of us when things got out of hand. But that's nothing compare before now it's really more friendlier than violent. Have a Nice day.

i agree with you friend.this is the discussion site and you have to respect other mylotters also even if you disagree with them they are your friends.they are not your enemy you should not insult them.and some are with you some are against that is called the discussion.not necessarily everyone have to be with you.if some one disagree with you comment to his reply try to explain him your view,you also try to understand his view and if he is right respect him and apogize if its your mistake.we are here to earn money first of all but i think its a very good site to enjoy here you can make new friends,you can clear all your doubts here.its amazing.enjoy it.happy mylotting.

Hello bhavik, I don't really know why some people have to consider you as an enemy even though you got nothings else to do with them. I never experience a lotter apologizing to me for a mistake, usually they correct their wrong statements or typo errors but there's never been some sort of sorry. Have a Nice day.

yes that is correct. i have observed that mylot is strict with its members but the benefit of that still falls on all the members. The place is positive and everyday it is cleaned up by the admin of any hateful or negative remarks. I surely admire the mylot admins and enjoy being here more than any other social sites :)
• Philippines

Hello Katrinapaz, This should be example for the rest of the community because if they allow it any further, believe me it's gonna get worse. It was actually a lot worse in the past and a lot of users profiles got deleted. The admin are doing good here perse so enjoy you're time here and give out you're ideas. Besides, you can hang out in my topics, there good people here. Mostly. Have a nice day.
