Would it be different?

For me, as long as I can understand their message, and the message was suitable for the topic, I could care less about the grammar or spelling. Not everyone on mylot is fluent in English, and the guidelines discourage the members from discriminating based on that factor. I have even come accross comments that are really difficult to make out due to wrong word usage or syntax, but after reading it 2 more times, I get to appreciate the message it bears.

Not everyone is as picky about grammar and spelling, so I don't think because it isn't written well means they are only here for the money. You have to remember, some member's mother language is not English and I am very impressed with some who I can have a conversation with and who wasn't raised in an English speaking country.. I on the other hand, even when I signed up for the money, I tried to make sure that my spelling, if not my grammar, was as perfect as I can make it..

I think that caring about what you are doing makes a huge difference. If someone comes on and rushes through every response trying to get in as much as they can, well, they are bound to make more mistakes. Not to mention that rushed responses can leave alot to be desired as far as content.

I think we learn from each other. Certainly if anyone has the desire to improve their skills and writing it will happen because many discussions are well suited for paying more attention to those things. It depends on the motivation and I think it is something to encourage. I’ve always been a believer in good example and if people can see advantage then they will be motivated. It is not always about money and it changes when it isn't so focused on earnings. I know, I can work on my discussions and want to keep trying. Certainly some members are not as interested in the three things you mentioned as much as others are. What the discussion is about and who is in it are other factors too most certainly.

I would be very glad if my responses and comments are admired without spelling mistakes or grammatical errors by someone.This is what I am trying to do.English is not my mother language,so it might take me more time to learn how to do well with it.At first,I might spend a long time to write what I want to say down.Even doing like this,I can't guarantee there is no problem with my expression,and I doubted whether readers can understand it. I'd have to say that I do admire quality discussions,responses and comments.Every time I read a quality response,I really enjoy it a lot.As you referred,some people are here to earn money,so they sometimes pay much more attention to the number of responses and comments they have posted than contents' quality.I think it does harm to this community.We need more people who can contribute qualify contents here.Do you agree with me on this? What's more.I have a suggestion to mylot,that the reputation of users should be variable.If someone keeps posting meaningless responses and comments,his/her reputation should decrease,whatever his/her original reputation is.Similarly,his/her reputation should increase if he/she keeps posting quality contents in this community.I don't know whether this mechanism is already in mylot or not.What do you think of this idea,friend?

Your question resonates with me in that it causes me to ponder the type of society that we live in where the average person has to spend, and be so overwhelmingly consumed with earning fiat. Most of us aren't even getting paid what we think is money! It's unfortunate but I suspect that the flip side of this would be a society, utopian in it's design where everyone has lots of money, but at that point no one would value the money, gold or whatever medium of exchange we use because we would all have so much of it. I personally can imagine a world in the near future where our life pursuits and energies will be focused on perhaps more lofty goals.

I am certain that it would help the content if people came in truth to communicate. I am not sure if it would help the misspellings and so forth, as I believe some of that comes from not having proper translations. I even get in a hurry and have some misspellings and misuses. I think it would be different if we would take the time to preview and edit. I, for instance, used the word "know" instead of "no" the other day, and saw it as soon as I posted. Some people post from a phone that tends to decide what they should be saying, and makes really nonsense word substitutions. I agree, however, that we could all stand to improve the quality of our material.

As you know I participate infrequently here and write responses as and when it suits me. I do not worry too much about the small mistakes I spot here and there. As such I am quite happy with this forum.

Well, and this is going to come across as very cynical, but I'm going to say it anyway, if it wasn't for the money, there is a pretty good chance that most of us would have not found this website in the first place. Of course, we know that there are other qualities once we got here. It is obvious how ever many people who are attracted here. I don't think it would really matter once. Those who take care of their spelling and grammar will take care of their spelling and grammar regardless. And those who won't, won't. Okay, a few might, but other than that, not really. One might say that if people are here to just have a nice time, they'd care even less about their quality, because they won't want to think. Plus, as long as your work is legible, then half of the battle is won to me.

I know exactly what you mean allknowing. Although I don't worry about spelling and grammar mistakes so much (I've made a few typos on here too) I think the content would be different. I find it easy to spot replies that are based on money making as opposed to replies where the person has an actual interest in the topic. I also find that some of the topics for discussion on here are pretty lame, as are some of the responses, especially at the end of the month when people are trying to make payout. Also some people start the same discussions over and over again but word them differently each time i.e. "how to make money on mylot", "what is the best way to earn on mylot", "do you make more responding to starting discussions", "do you do the tasks on mylot" etc etc etc. So in answer to your question, YES, I think that not only would some people's participation have a different hue but the whole site would as well.
