myLot rules expect users not to violate them. Whether a user says they are rich or poor, married or not married, educated or not educated............ while replying to posts it matters little whether they are being honest or not. It is for their own peace that they tell the truth and not to please another user here. What say?

For me personally it is about being morally upright wherever I am but that is just me and others might be different.

It is in our own interest that we should be honest and not to please others.

When I accept someone as my friend here in mylot or add one as my friend, I always give the benefit of the doubt that they're not lying. But when I realize that they do, I just don't interact with them anymore. I guess honesty matters to me, because friendship matters to me.

I have my own standards in this world that I live by. I don't like lying and I don't like others who lie all the time. I am an open book with nothing to hide-here or anywhere else so I choose to tell the truth. I actually found someone not lying per se but being someone who I never thought they would be. I don't interact with them now much because I was so disappointed in who they really are...

@MALUSE Assuming you are right is there a way to find out so that we can leave them alone here and not interact with them?

Being truthful is easier than telling lies in the long run. With falsehoods you must remember what lie you told to whom, and continue supporting that lie with further lies. Truth stands on its own and is much easier to manage.

Uuuhh ... honesty matters everywhere. (???) Doesn't it? Where are we going with this discussion? Are you saying since it's an online discussion forum you can generously dole out "alternative facts" and nobody will be any the wiser? That's a joke. The "alternative facts" part. Hope you get my sense of humor. You may not get it if you're not American. But seriously ... being a liar, no matter "where" can hardly be a good thing. Surely it matters.

It certainly is but for the habitual liars they get away with it as they are not breaking rules, per se.

@AbbyGreenhill There is nothing that myLot can do about it. In the real world they could perhaps be booked but not here. All what one can do is to walk away when they are spotted. A juicy post perhaps packed with lies sometimes gets to the top of the top rated. It cannot be pulled down because it has not broken myLot rules.

I would think it would always be of best interest to always be Honest and tell the truth when posting here as you never know, and what if eventually you decide you want to meet up? For me, I guess it is their own decision just as with any other site online including Facebook if you want to make up things about your life, but to me, I prefer to be Honest and open and share my life with others.

I don't think there is anything in the myLot rulebook that says we have to be honest. Personally, I prefer honesty (providing it's also tactful where appropriate). I've always been told two important things about lying: 1. You have to have a good memory to be a good liar (I don't have a great memory all the time. Even when I'm telling the truth, I might contradict myself because I've remembered the same thing differently). 2. A liar is worse than a thief. You can lock your belongs and hide them from a thief. There is no protection from a liar. A little exaggeration is OK but an outright lie, that's not good.

To make a post/response/comment more juicy perhaps one gets tempted to lie but that will rob them of their peace.

You can also consider the fact that members here are free to not show their faces or say exactly where they are from. However, they usually do so to close contacts and friends they may make here.
