Payment for Quality Discussions and Responses

Yes caribe I think this is a wonderful move as well and also think that my earnings will increase too. As you say, who cares about the colour of someone's else (or at least in a forum situation) or whether they drink coke or pepsi. Thanks very much for the contribution to the discussion. :)

It has always had me wondering how people can make 200 (or more) posts per day, or at least claim that they have. The only way I can see they can do this is not to acknowledge those who respond to their own discussions, start heaps of discussions about trivial things and also spend more than half the day here at myLot. Some days I do make a lot of posts but also those days I do spend a lot of time here. I hope you are right and this does stop the spammers. Thanks for your contribution to the discussion. :)

I think people will still be paid for short answers but not as much. You can check this out by going to the guidelines. Thanks for responding robertofootball.

sometimes the topic that is being discussed deserve's an yes or no reply. I alway's try to add on more word's. It is hard and I like to leave good reply's, and have long replies left on my discussion's and also I try to thank everyone that post on my discussion. I don't even know how we get paid on this site. Is it for posting discussion's or replies, picture, I just don't know, all I know is that I have earned 13.16 and that's all I know.

Yes rosebug I also think that we are going to find some good quality discussions to respond to, and the best thing is that we will be paid more for it too. Of course some members will not come here with this new payment method but that is their decision. Keep making quality responses and discussions, and you will see your earnings increase. Thank you very much for your response to the discussion rosebug. :)

You have the best response for this discussion rosebug and thanks very much for you contribution to this discussion. :)

Thanks for the compliments sweetie88 but no I won't be the highest money earner here. I am pleased to read that you are improving the quality of your responses because that is the way to make more money under these new rules. Thanks very much for responding to the discussion. :)

U r welcome and keep in touch in future too!!!!

Yes, there is justice after all. However just look at some of the responses to this discussion and you will see what many people have been saying about inappropriate one or two word responses. Thanks very much for contributing to the discussion. :)

And to highlight a problem that exists, suggest that you see the response made by ywybywyb403, which is response # 12. GRRR

I am pleased that you found an increase on your earnings, which indicates that you have been making quality responses. Let's hope that this is all we will see in the future, quality discussions and responses. Thanks for responding to the discussion. :)

Your comment is so relevant compumom and I agree that we will never get rich from myLot. I like quality discussions and responses, to discuss with other members and for me the earnings are a bonus. However, I am also pleased to see that myLot are now "rewarding" members who look for quality rather than quantity. Thanks very much for your response.

That's intersting. It took me 4 weeks to earn $4 using the old method. After the initial newness of myLot wore off, I realized that I spent a lot of time searching for quality discussions and was unable to find many and thus was unable to post comments. In the past, I would post about 1 or, on a good day, maybe 2 comments a day. Now with the new assessment, I've already posted 3 or 4 within a shorter period of time. I'm not looking to get rich from myLot, but I would like to find conversations with more meaning than "Are you a boy or girl?":) As a result of the inane conversations, I never referred anyone to this site. I was too embarassed by the silly topics. Maybe after a few interesting discussions, I might be able to refer my friends here.

I agree with you sherinek that it will be much better for us who value good discussions as well as our friends here on myLot. Thanks for contributing to the discussion. :)

You are so right that those who make quality responses will be the winners out of this new initiative by myLot. Those who make or claim to make 400 posts per day will either have to improve their responses or get less money. Thanks for responding to the discussion. :)

Yes it sure will be good not to see about coke, pepsi or ice cream flavours. LOL I think we will see some good discussions going now, or at least I do hope so. Thanks for responding to the discussion mystikel. :)

I agree Bunny2 that this should improve the quality of discussions that are offered. I suspect that the number of active members will suddenly decrease, and that isn't a bad thing either if the quality of discussions improves. Thanks very much for your contribution to this discussion. :)

Hi feralwoman and I don't think you are one of those who needs to worry as you make quality responses and that is what the change in payment is all about. With the cut and paste responses, you can either make a comment to the response about it being a 'cut and paste', ignore it, give the person a negative (-) or report it to myLot. If you opt to report it, then use the ! symbol on the right. Actually you will see that I had several cut and paste responses even to this discussion. LOL Thanks very much for your contribution to the discussion feralwoman. :)

Yes, I think we will see an improvement in the quality of responses. Now all we need is for those who "cut and paste" the same response to be stopped. I am pleased that you are seeing some results from your efforts to make quality responses. Thanks very much for responding. :)

It is that sometimes we do have to give a negative (+) rating simply because the response has nothing to do with the discussion. I give a best response to all discussions I start and positive (+) ratings to both discussions and responses if it is appropriate. I do not do it indiscriminately but rather it is based on merit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, as well as for responding to the discussion. :)

I think we will all find it a better place although that might take a short while, until people get the message that is. Thanks for responding. :)

I am pleased that you are back and noticed the changes here. Yes, it will be better with some good quality discussions and responses. Thanks for contributing to the discussion. :)

It might take a while before we see the end of some of the inane discussions, but those who want a good quality discussion, will be rewarded. Thanks for responding. :)

You are right that the cheats and scammers everywhere and we can only hope that the admin of the sites catch them before they do too much harm. Thanks for reading and responding to this discussion, and keep on making good responses and you will see the rewards. :)

Yes it is the quality of the discussions that makes people want to come back again. Thanks for responding. :)

You are right that those who go elsewhere because their earnings have dropped will find that other sites are not so considerate with regard to paying for poor responses, i.e. one or two word responses. I have always attempted to make a quality response, and have continued to do so. My earnings have increased quite considerably since the changes. :)
