Don't start discussions unless you are going to comment back to the responses you receive

I have seen some in here, that will start discussions, and not do anything with them. That is nhot interacting. If someone responds to your discussions, then please have the common decency to comment back to them to start the interaction. I am not sure why users do that, unless they think they don't have to, as they think they will get paid for starting the discussion, but that could be further from the truth. You only get paid when others respond or comment to your posts. I think that users had better go back and read the faq's and guidelines again, before they ever post again. I, frankly am getting tired of seeing users post discussions, and not do a thing about them. That is not how mylot works. It takes all of us working together to make it work, so please interact with others, so they will interact with you.

I reply to everyone who leaves a comment on my posts, as you do. However I've found that I've missed an occasional one. Do you find that if more then one person comments at roughly the same time, that one will be at the top, and the others buried somewhere near the bottom? If you have a lot of responses and comments they are not always easy to find.

Rosekiss I think that will never change this has been happening for Years they will find out that they will not get much payment
People come on here thinking the easy money is starting a Discussion and then leaving it to earn for them .......I think it is rude when you respond to a Discussion and the Person does not reply back

@gabs8513 I am like you, that I will only interact with those that will interact with me, even if it isn't all that many, which is ashame, but I am so thankful for the ones who do take the time to keep the interactions going on my discussions.

I hear you there . I do all my notifications, and suggestions I receive, when I get up in the morning, which is what I am doing right now. I try to catch them all up, and sometimes I do miss some, but I go back to my discussions, and make sure that i commented back to those that commented to me.

I know it's mean of me, but those that post a discussion and I respond to it and they can't take the time to acknowledge that I responded to their discussion. I ignore all their other discussions. And the ones that really irk me, is the ones that pick only certain people out of all their responses to respond to. It tells me they don't value that you responded to their discussion.
I simply have no time for such people. I rather interact with those who wish to actually interact and work together.

I agree with you there, as I have seen that too, where people have responded, but the discussion starter, never commented back. It seems that is the trend with some, as they will never comment back, and they sure aren't worth our time at all.

@TexanTornado I agee with you. I am not going to waste my time posting to help someone else earn, if they aren't going to help me earn in return. There has be a balance here, and until people do what they are supposed to, it will remain theway it is.

@kiran8 I usually like all responses and comments. It just lets the one know that wrote it, that I appreciate what they said, and I am going to like it. I can't justify just liking a comment though, and not commenting back. It just doesn't seem right to me, so I don't do it.

You will have to come to terms with it. It happened on the old mylot, albeit it was harder to tell back then. All we can do is mention that it pays for them to interact more, and let them decide for themselves whether they want to or not.
In the meantime, keep track of who doesn't interact so you don't waste your time with them. :)

@DaddyEvil Further ones own "aims" as you put it goes hand in hand with furthering those of the community as a whole. It's sad people don't see it that way.
I'm not here so much for the perks that come with, unless those perks include good conversation and advice.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I, too, love good conversation, ma'am... I also seem to be giving a lot of advice lately... Moreso than I am quite used to giving.
Uhm... I somehow thought you were one of the original myLotters, ma'am? But if you are/were you have an exceedingly low count beside your name. I am mistaken?

That is very true, Cowgirl. I have been keeping a list of people who interact and those who do not. It is quite interesting when you look at comments then check out their threads. You will find that the one who deleted her remark is one who does not choose to continue a discussion when offered the chance.
She is here only to further her own aims, not those of the community.

I've said that there's really no wrong way to use myLot, but I might have been mistaken on that one.
I think the community tends to be self-regulating in a lot of instances, and this is one of those. Most of us value interaction with other users and want to carry on real conversations. We see users who just start discussion after discussion after discussion and never bother returning to comment on responses, and we just don't come back to that person's discussions again. It's showing by the number of responses the discussions are getting...

That is so very true. I may not get many responses to my disucssions, but I do comment back, and some have taken on a life of their own, but that is okay too, as I am having so much fun interacting that if they turn out funny, then so be it. Just gives me something to laugh at.

@dodoazo We don't get anything for our posts here. It is only for those that comment or respond to our posts. It is different from the old mylot, as then, we only got paid fro what we did and not what others did, so therefore, we never got paid anything overnight as we weren't here and never got paid, but now, we can be gone, and still earn, provided we interacted of course.

@antonbunot That is a shame too, as he is missing out on so much. He won't earn doing what he is doing, that is for sure. Maybe in time he will figure it all out and get with the program. I know I am having a blast.

I would think that that would get pretty boring pretty fast. In fact some days I forget to post, because I'm so busy reading and commenting.It's nice that we get paid for doing everything. The algorithm seems to be quite fair. So I don't worry about the folks that don't hangout.

It is just that when we comment to someone, and they don't comment back, then it isn't fair, as they are earnings, but I am not, and mylot says we all need to interact in order to earn. I think it is hard for some people to understand that, so therefore, they will start discussions, and not do anything with them afterwards. They need to realize that without interaction, they won't earn anything. I certainly won't interact with those that won't interact with me, as that is what is fair.

@NeldaHoxie you only get paid for what others do on your discussions or comments that you make on others discussions. It means that you don't get anything for any disucssions you start, until someone respondes, you comment and they comment back.. That is why interaction is so important, becasue if you don't interact, then you won't get interaction back. I interact all the time, as others are interacing with me, so I interact back with them.

@rosekiss I think that when we comment we do earn for the comments, so there's nothing unfair about it. Have I misread the FAQs. I like the fact that I don't have to come up with posts all of the time.

I am relatively new here but I make sure I'm participating fully. I was just looking at some of those who I connected (followed) and saw a lot of posts with comments and not one word from the owner of the post. I think I'll go back and remove my response and push the unfollow button.
I so agree with you.

i don't blame you for that one. i have come across some like that too, where I responded, but never got a comment back. I might start taking off my responses to discussions like that, as they just arent douing what they are supposed to do. They are only here for themselves, and that isnt right at all. I always comment back to those who respond to me.

I agree with you 100%. I have only been on here for about 3 weeks off and on, mostly off as I am still unpacking from moving. I hate moving and packing and unpacking but things have to get done. I do read a lot on here and plan to respond and then I get called to do something else in the house. I will get with the program soon as I love to write and chat back and forth.

The thing of it is, you shouldn't start a discussion without commenting to responses, as it is only common courtesy to do so I might not agree with them either,but I sitll comment anyway, and let them know my opinion,as that is what mylot is all about is being able to share our opinions, whether we agree with them or not. Those that don't agree, are very nice about it too, and that is the way it should be.

To me it is a waste to time to start a discussion if the one starting it, isn't going to take the time to comment back to responses they receive. I don't bother with those where I see responses but no comments back. I am not going to waste my time earning for them, if they aren't going to reciprocate.

@rebelann I pretty much know which ones will interact with me and which ones won't. I have a tendency to just skip the disucssion of the ones that won't interact, or interact very much. Now, if they finally do, then that is one thing, but to not do it at all, is so wrong.

I always acknowledge every response I get with at least a like. Some don't require a reply or are a bit off or odd and those I sort of ignore. I do try to visit all the people who interact with me, I think this is a social site and if you aren't social you are missing the point.

Maybe they haven't read the guidelines and don't realize that they have to interact to earn money. I know that sometimes I get behind but I am always working to get caught up because I don't want anyone thinking that I'm not replying back.

I know what you mean, especially on the days when I don't come in at all, I wouoldn't want people to think that I am completely ignoring them, which isn't that at all. I just take a day off once a week to rest and refresh, and I catch up on the comments the next day when I get up. I do pretty much catch them all up though, so life is good.

Yes, you are right. Now, there are some that post a lot of discussions, but they do keep up with them, and do commment back to the responses they receive. I don't start all that many like some do, as I don't post one every day. I would rather interace by responding and commenting to other discussions.
