this is what bothers me and I don't know about you I keep seeing all the time here on my lot I am not making money here and how do I make money they make tons of post and ask why they don't even have a clue that you have to reply over and over to yours that is how they make money and that we have to do the same to them if we wish to make it here as well I see 100's of post all the time that are only going to be deleted for this reason one of the things I would like to see is a better writing from here as how we better make time and use of the site and make it clear English so there is no issues down the road

I agree with you Blackrusty.
Although we all are not immune to mistakes, we can take the time at least to read guidelines and do the absolute best we can at expressing ourselves here in myLot to share with our friends and neighbors around the world, thus making it easier on ourselves and others.

this is true but one of the other things that bothers me with this as well is I see a lot of people from all over write in what they speak and they don't understand that it is to be in English I spend half my day just trying to find something to read and post back too

Didn't you even bother to use punctuation marks? Your post is like a train never stopping.

You should at least employ commas or full stops. It isn't that hard. Okay, maybe it's hard for you so think about it this way: When you talk, you do pause for a while to catch up with your breath, don't you? I don't mind about your spelling, I don't even notice where those errors are. Good day to you.

I also think it is good to use better of the sites that are paying. I think it is always good to post quality discussions and reply to quality discussions. Some people starts single word questions or questions in the form of poll or game and they get deleted easily. I think we should always try to start good discussions and reply to good discussions.

Hi rusty, I can certainly understand what your complaint is
about...I do make mistakes myself and willing to admit that
some are un=necessary but mostly typo errors..I don't profess
to be error free but what bothers me are the post/response
that I just dosen't make any sense..I just want to respond
back with,,"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT" but I try
very hard not to be rude...but sometimes I just want to scream.

Hey again :) I mean making money on this site is great, but while answering and asking questions you tend to forget about the money and just have fun posting and reading and interacting with people on the website. People that are worried about making money on this site and that keep posting discussions like that will never reap the benefits of this site. And hopefully someone will pick up on making discussions on how to make this site better and more interesting. Great point by the way :)

Speaking English clearly and efficiently should be a prerequisite before posting on this site. I understand that learning a language can be difficult but it is inappropriate to post very broken, misspelled English here as this is an English website. I couldn't get away with going onto a French language website and typing in my broken, horribly spoken French.
I think that using chat rooms and English tutorial sites should be a must do for any mylot.com users who are struggling with their English use and learning.

So technically English isn't a requirement and this isn't an English site? Because when someone cannot speak English properly it is referred to as a dialect called "Pigeon English" which most speakers who are proficient could not understand.
That is nice of them to give such a generous chance to people to help them learn! I know many non-English sites that are very strict about speaking at an intermediate level or greater. As usual the English speaking peoples lead again in human rights and dignity. This is very nice to hear!

I'm not really in writing in English and my grammar is very poor, through posting and replying i was able to use English and slowly managed my grammar, but some times there are instances that i neglect my grammar, what i have in mind is to post and reply only and as long the as the thought of my reply and my post is clear and understandable. It is very difficult to use other Language if you have your own language. But it can be learned.

you are right as I myself am trying to learn a language and i have a hard time at times to think of the words that i need to use and as far as I have seen with all of your post they have been just fine I can at least understand what you are trying to say

I have made mistakes too and have tried to reason with new members. But they don't seem to get the fact that they have to respond and build up friendships and then be loyal to the people who have responded to your post. I have seen new members post interesting discussions but have not had the manners to acknowledge those who responded to them. Loyalty is everything here on mylot. Take care of the discussions begun by your friends before you answer any other discussions and then you get to know people and begin to earn

Thank you Cynthiann I thought I was the only one who feels this way and the fact you have to be able to write in English witch some times is not I wonder if they bother to read the terms or q&a as if they can't read it then they should not be hear now I do understand we are not all perfect and I had to run back and read again do to deletes of post I made and I found out by others like you what i was doing wrong but so many times i see post and I will pass them as I know it is going to be deleted

Mylot is here for us to discuss the posts members make. I notice that there are members who keep posting but never go back to his uploaded discussions. When we reply to a discussion, it is better if we try to go back to that discussion to see if your response has also been responded by members who created the discussions.

it is really a problem, but what matters most is , I think , the benefit from the site. could we think that if there were no benefit from what people have done, there can't be so many lotters here to share their opinions and waste their time. so money here is the most attractions here. do you think so.

you are right there is a benefit to this site if your trying to learn and yes the money does invite them here but a little time to read the info that is there for us to read would stop all the post that are deleted every single day I don't even waste my time to reply to them and more wasted time for the staff of mylot

hi blackrusty!
How are you? Others might not understand it at first and if they don't read the FAQs and the guidelines before starting, the more that they will not understand. Well, I personally admire those who are trying their best to give their best to make response/comment to a given discussion. I also admire those who appreciate each responses although I also understand why others cannot do it for some reasons or another. Perhaps we can just guide those who are mislead so that they would learn through us.
Have a great day!

Hello! I needed to comment on this post because I get easily bothered when I read the word "bother" and all its roots and extensions...:D. Kidding aside, I consider myself new here and I belong to the group that would always have a hard time keeping up with posts because of the many chores that choke me. Nevertheless, I try to go back to my posts as much as possible and try to respond to my dear mylot friends so they would know I appreciate and acknowledge their somehow helping me to make it herein mylot. Thank you, blackrusty, because I always learn from your posts and the other posts made by our friends as well.
