The significance of reading in mylot!

This is very intelligent observation that you have made. and since I have a few minutes of free time it's a great time to browse thru the Terms or the FAQ if the is something specific to be answered.... However there is the social aspect of asking a question like that. there are many people with the same question being drawn to a specific discussion where they can comment and meet others. The social environment is what myLot is all about, right?

Very well said Tony! I appreciate your thoughts. New lotters should read and learn from the post and when they participate, they make their presence felt to others. They should understand that earning is a bonus and is secondary to learning and participation. When I joined mylot, earning was not my primary motive and it has not changed even after 5 years of joining here. I switched over from Yahoo answers, when someone suggested joining this site. Initially, for few days when I responded to few posts and started a few, I did not get any earnings. The screen was showing meager 0.3 or 0.4 cents, I felt slightly disheartened to see the pace of earning. However, when I started liking the site, I forget about the earnings and my motive was to participate in as many posts as possible.

Very true! Much like when you are buying a new gadget or equipment or appliance. You have to read the manual first to be able to understand how the thing works especially if it is really new to you. If you don't do that, you might end up destroying your own equipment. Reading is essential in everything we do. Examination papers can't be answered if you don't read the instructions on how to answer. Really, it should be a standard operating procedure for any users to read the best thing that they can get for information on the use of anything. This will save them from a lot of mishaps that may happen. This is also true with myLot so new myLotters, as always all the veterans would remind, should start reading the FAQs and guidelines in here. Good point in here toniganzon!

You're definitely right toni, I keep reading faqs and if i'm still confused I tried asking veterans(you,lk). I appreciate you toni for being so accommodating.. :)

hi toni:) well i'm new to mylot, but i didn't post anything that asking how much will i earn, because just like you its not only about the money, but of course that's a plus factor, i enjoy participating in discussion here, its like learning, and i think that's the biggest earning i'll get from here.

Hi! Toni. You're right. I didn't ask questions too. I learned it myself.

hi toni! mylot comes with an instruction manual??? who would have thought of that??? lol! just kidding! seriously though, this is a good point that you brought up. reading the FAQS in mylot, not just before signing up but regularly, helps everyone. veterans and newbies alike can really benefit from keeping one informed about the site's rules and regulations. i've been with mylot for quite sometime already and i still occasionally read the FAQS when i'm unsure about my post or discussion.

HI toni Vetrans are vetrans and I cannot dare comment about them - they are so loving and caring for all For people in your and mine age group - I think we are more mature, have some patience still left in us For the newbies (mostly the teens and early 20s) I think they lack patience. I cannot say that they are not much aware about internet or how to find something as they were born in the era of computers and should know how to search. So I think it is their impatience that makes them so.

The veterans always here to help them~ No doubt! You will help them too right if you found those discussions??? I will place a comment to them and because they keep asking the same question so my answer will be more shorter and shortest..'Please read the guidelines/faqs'. Till perhaps I will just put ?? in my comment!!There is no way for me to put that!! Perhaps they thought they can get more money here. I hope anyone who got referrals they should guide their referrals on how to be an active and good mylotter than stressing more that they can earn much here..(^^)

In fact, from what I see you have a good score on MYLOT, then I think you have read and responded to many posts.

i totally agree, but i too had a discussion asking why my earnings had gone down. but the reason for this was my discussions had been exactly the same for 3 days, then suddenly dropped, so i couldn't understand that. but i since found out why.. but you are correct.. people should read more. and even if they don't want to read the long drawn out FAQ's.. they could search for discussions relating to their question, rather than starting a new discussion.. unless of course they are starting the discussion on purpose to earn?

I think it's necessary to read the faqs from every site you want to sign up. It will take a time but is a must. Also is important to read the terms and conditions to avoid surprises you might not like. If you don't want to read on the screen you can print the stuff and read it whenever you can.

Lol isn't this just so true :P I really respect myLot veterans who are really patient and accommodating enough to reply to each and every inquiries newbies would throw their way. Yeah, I just wish newbies (like me) would read first the FAQs before asking any questions :P I'm also a moderator of various forums before I stumbled on myLot and I KNOW the pain of creating FAQs for people to read so I know it's a bit irritating when people ask questions that are already in FAQs :P That's what FAQs are for in the first place, right? =^_^=

Hello there. I guess you are right. I think some newbies here were confused especially when they joined other sites like this where they can also earn by just making/ responding to the discussions on a particular topics posted by other members . Because I noticed that other sites were really confusing when it comes to payouts. I don;t know that would be the main reason but that's what I observed.

hi toniganaon well I have lost patien ce with newcomers who refuse just refuse to read the guidelines and rules of discussion and the questions and answers. they will instead just plunge so eager to make money they shoot themselves in the foot making discussion after discussion that all break the rules. and yet they think I am stupid to tell them to read the guidelines, the rules of discussion and the questions and answers. well I never get my posts deleted so now who is stupid.I think modern young people are so usedto instant everything that if they have to use their brains and read for fifteen minutes they yell boring. well how boring is it when you whimper why was my discussion deleted? after all the information to keep you from making rule breaking discussions is the mylot admins information so read the darned stuff.read all the info then you will know what you are doing in mylot.read THE INFORMATION PLEASE JUST STOP AND READ ALL THE INFORMATION B EFORE POSTING ANYTHING.IT HELPS A LOT

I couldn't agree with you more. There are a lot of methods to earn at Mylot, if one do not check the faqs when he or she gets into this site first time, he or she might totally get lost. And through the faqs, a newbie can quickly find a proper way to make some money on this site. But as you said, mylotters shold pay more attention to the discussions, forget about making money, than you will have fun here.

I totally agree with you Toni. We learn through reading. Actually, when i was a newbie here i read the guidelines and the FAQ. Alongside with that i would read postings on how some things are done here at Mylot among other things. That's how i learn my way in Mylot.

I understand your point but not all people are familiarized in mylot besides like you said "newbies" it's expected that they will ask the same questions as others do and most of them are not using the search button effectively so we have to be more patient dealing with the newbies.

i am new here too but I kept on reading the FAQs and the guidelines every now and then. It is very important to read. Every time I'm new in a site or in a new online community, I really read everything about the site. I want to avoid mistakes as much as possible, I don't want to be embarrassed. So whenever there's something I want to do here and I don't know how, I'll just check around the site and read and read for information.
