We are paid to discuss here right? not paid to just post and post...

I think it is good to respong to question and discuss. I think that's how you make money on here. Referrals and friends help I think as well. Want to be my friend? Good luck.

I hear you on that one. Although it's hard to keep up with a lot of discussions that we have going on here. But I do agree, it's about 'discussing' and not just repeatedly posting. I find it sad when you see people starting a million nonsense discussions - they usually end up getting deleted and the person gets absolutely nothing out of it anyway. Hmph!

I am sure they are quite new here because I used to do that in the past. Now I know better.

That's right, this is a discussion forum. I always make a point to respond to every discussion that I post. We want to discuss the topics we create, so we can get others insights.. I enjoy discussing topics because we get to learn more about the people we are having conversations with. This is one of the reasons why I enjoy mylot. You get out of life what you put into it, if you're not putting any effort into it, you won't get anything from it.

They're doing a lot more than they really have to in my opinion. It takes up more effort for me to either open up a bunch of discussions and respond once, and especially more effort to continually come up with a new topic when it isn't necessary! We know they are not earning very much from that and not having as much fun as we are!

I've just joined and I don't even know how to see which discussions I posted on so I have no idea how to get back there and see if anyone replied to my post.

Hi Maria! Yes, you are very right that we are paid for our discussions not just for posting a topic. I prefer to respond to discussions of those mylotters/friends who normally post their comments on my responses. If I notice that my response is not being commented, from next time, I skip the discussion of that paeticular mylotter. On my part when I start a new post, I make it a point to post my comments to all the meaningful responses. And needless to mention I love chain comments. :-)

maria right on thats part of the f un in reaching out t o each other and discussing things and learning from each other. I try my darnedest to comment back on all responses I get even if I have to take a couple of days to get them all commented on. We comment on responses and respond to discussions okay but most never realize there is a real mylot vocabulary they use so most just respond and comment all over the place and at times I have to sory it out ,.as really above my box here mylot writed respond to this discussion.,Now if you come back and respond to my response it is really comment back to m y response so its less confusing mylot way.check it out as you comment back you will see mylot writes comment on the responses.

We call that "discussion spammers". If they post like that, and never respond to my discussions, I may delete them. If they post like that, and do respond to my discussions, I may turn off notifications for that person. It just isn't fair to everybody else...

Hi Marìa, Whenever I spot such a person, I stop answering their discussions and try to remember who he/she is so I don`t fall for it. I don`t come here to earn money. In fact, although I`m happy when I reach cashout, I seek here frienship. So posts without answers are absolutly meaningless. I must confess though that I don`t always respond to all those who answer my posts. Sometimes I don`t have the time, others I just don`t know what to say.

There could be several reasons for the person not responding back.. For one...whatever he or she wanted to say or thought about is already mentioned by somebody else, and as per myLot rules, we are supposed to read the previous boxes, right? Second reason, he or she may have accepted or acknowledged whatever you mentioned, and therefore, does not have any further comments to offer.. Third reason...may be busy with some other discussion that has him or her involved in a deeper issue...may get back at a later stage to all those previous boxes..

Maybe they are so busy to go back to their discussion or they still don't know how it works here on myLot.com.

I see, I notice other members here are upset for the same reason. Also, I notice there are people here who post a lot but don't often respond. Just leave them at it. It's their way of earning. Besides that style of earning here is very frustrating. It's not our loss, it's theirs. I don't think there's a rule against what they are doing though.

haha.. i know how hard to see on notify s/he can post so many. i had one in my friend list. she can post sometime up to 30+ perday. i was impress on her. how can she came out so many thing to be discuss. most of her post about her day and her surrounding and sometime a few general post . i really hard to make even 1. but i try at least to make one and response on it. even she post so many, i see she still response to other even it slow sometime. maybe because she had so many to response. hehe

I recently had to delete a friend because they did just that, I just couldn't keep up with them, they were churning them out left right and centre! How can anyone possibly have the time to acknowledge the responses to all their discussions? But as you rightly pointed out they don't and that is what irks me.

I think most of them are elite Mylot members who got response and response from other discussions. That is the strategy. You have also strategy here to get responding others discussions. I like your topic that you discuss and I really appreciate. I hope Lakers will rise soon, Maria.

I have seen a lot of discussions in the questinon and answer category, and this person must have had over 20 discussions there. You know pretty much, that the user is just trying to make as much as they can and not commenting back to anyone either. When I see one person post one discussion after another, I only know why they are here, and I won't respond to their discussions, as I know they will never comment back. It really is their los too, as they just don't understand how mylot works. I think in time though, when they don't earn, they will realize they aren't earning because they aren't taking the cime to comment back to the responses they receive. It might also be a possibility, that most of the discussions they start, get delted. It is really sad, when they can't even take the time to comment back to responders. I alsways do, but then I usually only start one at a time, whenever i start discussions that is. did respond to one user that has lots of discusions started in one day, as the first discussion interested me, but the rest I will ignore. It just goes to show you, that users will come in here, start posting, and not read the guidelines first. Take care, and have a great day.

Friend I was absent from last week so I dont know about this but you are right I also observe this some persons start lots of discussions but not comment back I not like this I start only 1 to 3 discussions daily and whenever gets response then comment back on it. I like chit chat with friends so always put my comment on response. You are right all the fun here if we do discussion back.

Hello maria! I can name few persons who have started many discussions in here in a day but haven't really replied to most (if not all) of their responders. I mean, I wonder if they happen to check and see their started discussion?

I totally agree with you. what is use to start a discussion then? My lot is a nice place to gain so much knowledge.
