Ignorance Reigns Supreme.

Very true! I have just participated in a discussion titled:"meaning of subjective and objective". A guy who posted a response before me says: "ummm....not interested in this." Now, why should this guy go to the trouble of posting such a stupid 'response'??? By the way, I liked your reference to the truckloads of guys joining mylot as: ........ but the people are still galloping through the site in massive hordes!..................... It has a Wodehousian touch! If you were with me now, you would see me rolling on the ground with laughter! You would have given me a greater fit of laughter had you used the words: 'mad,chaotic,aimlessly,purposelessly' !

I know, i sometimes get replies that are either 'yes' or 'no' or are some other rubbish, i just give them a negative rating! serves em right i say..;) And i'm glad you got your chimney fire under control.

I have seen a number of sites such as this one come and go over the years for this very reason. Fortunately, the owners here are obviously taking steps to correct this, which the other sites did not. It is sad that so many people abuse sites like this.

Hi You are absolutely CORRECT The reason is because of the new guidelines from www.mylot.com We have a SERIOUS AMOUNT of CHEATERS on this site, who seem to think that by typing rubbish they are gonna get paid!! My self and few other people have been noticing it more and more just lately!! Therefore..... I have started a dicussion and I am trying to stop it.... http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/360530.aspx This person: earningprogram (23) Thinks it is funny to post things like this:- Thats a good discussion.I like your discussion very much. Hope you get a lot of responses and earn a lot.Good luck. I can't say anything. Your discussion is good. I have been tracking him/her all of www.mylot.com http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/361447.aspx?p=8 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/357956.aspx?p=44 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/363065.aspx?p=3 He/she is now going to be reported Thank you for the post... If you notice any more would you please let me know, I am going to try and get these people bannned... Thanks

I'm going to have to agree with you there on this one. Ignorance is all around us. Hell, I'm guilty of sucha thing from time to time. Hell, I'm being ignorant right now by going on a tangent about ignorance. Woot. But anyways....You must realize Wynnifer, that ignorance is the most common form of conversation this nation has. America would not be itself without ignorance. There's not a chance that us more intellegent people wouldn't be in charge if the masses weren't stupid, ignorant buffoons. I mean...come on.....We elected Bush.....x.x

i agree. its hard to have serious discussions here. i think they should make a special "serious discussion' section or something. i dont mean anything by it but alot of responses i've seen arent written in clear english. they seem to be by people who are from other non english speaking countries perhaps. I dont have an objections to that, its just hard to understand sometimes. maybe thats contributing to the senseless posts as well.

Agreed 100 0/0.Lot of dumbs around here.They can rerain from answering the questions they dont understand.

Don't worry about those People we all get them just put a polite horrible comment underneath them and then ignore him they will soon be dealt with to There is a lot going on that is being watched by the Members and being reported to mylot So just keep posting and ignore the ignorant lot

lol i know there are alot of people like this on mylot but that discussion wasnt wordered right it should have been more like a dicussion but a statment but thats the way people are narrow and ingorant they dont ever relpy to good discussion ither

i've seen some in other posts i've responded to. these are people just trying to get money and not even reading what their posting to. these go along with the copiers and other people who probably just paste their responese (the same thing) into every response. if it makes you feel any better you can negativly rate them and remember they don't get much money for nonsense responses.

well, such idiots exist to show that we are superior to them. haha. just kidding, you can just report that bad post and hopefully the moderators will deal with them.

i do observe that also. some really dont know the real objective of myLot. all they want is to earn money and nothing more. i hope fun will be the number aim of all the member her and second money. cause if yur having fun in this site in no time you'll find yourself earnign money. i'll be happy to have small number of responses that has quality than lots of responses that doesnt mean a thing.

Ugh, I hate that. I also hate the 'you might not think this has anything to do with your topic but [insert random quote here]'. Clearly, tossing up a random quote with a disclaimer is supposed to make us think they read the topic title. Fact is, people are stupid and don't pay attention. They just want their money. At least the people posting tiny answers won't get rewarded for it, and you can report the ones who post off topic.

Sorry to hear about your chimney fire - blessings that you didn't do too much damage. I too had a chimney fire. Our slow burner fireplace must have had a build up of goodness-knows-what in it and of course it happened when I was the only one at home. The fire place started belching smoke and the only thing I could think to do was wet some towels and put them over where the smoke was coming out, shovel the embers from the fire into the wheelbarrow and frantically call my husband back from the local pub. It was probably pointless calling the fire brigade since we were out in the country. Luckily everything was alright, but I dread to think of all the things that could have gone wrong ... Black smoke on the ceiling was preferable to no ceiling at all!I have been reading through some of the comments on other discussions with interest. I have decided to try to ignore the "ignorant". I suppose there will always be people with a minimal grasp of reading and writing; some do their best, others just wear their lack of basic learning with pride. We do need to get away from the equivalent of caveman like grunts on these discussions. I wonder if there's some sort of editing tool for these forums that block out one word responses?Julie

Yes, that is annoying and frustrating. Whenever someone makes a stupif reply in my discussion, I give them a negative rating. And I don't usually reply to them either. The people that are cheating the system and being ignorant will get what they deserve soon enough. And what makes it even more annoying is some of those people are actually complaining because they aren't making enough money on here. Hmm, I wonder why...

Yes a lot of people do that but they will have a big surprise from mylot who changed the earnings algoritm and now after a hard day of ignorant coments They will find out that they earned absolutly nothing and taht is was totaly not worthed. Sory to hear about your chimney, I'm very glad everything worked out ok. Hope is not cold at your place right now and you can still use the chimney.

yeah i agree, some of them dont even knw how to write proper english, so stupid, but mylot's rule prohibits us from tellin them anytin, some of the discussion's are so stupid, that it's not funny, it just get's on my nerves, even their responses are stupid, since they dont know how to write a proper response, they become spammers, they just copy and paste other's responses!!!

Thats a good discussion.I like your discussion very much. Hope you get a lot of responses and earn a lot.Good luck.

Hi Virginians, I am sorry to hear about your bad replies to a serious post. Trust me it has happened to me also on a few occasions. But luckily, one or two of my posts I received really interesting comments and a debate started about a serious topic. And that was really rewarding to me. So please , my advice, ignore the topics that dont hit the bulls eye, keep posting. PS. Maybe you could also upload a picture to your post in the future, that also attracks more serious chat-o-holics! Good luck!

Ignorent users that dont pay attention to the topic at hand and just post a few words in a comment for money should be banned from the website. But we cannot do anything about them, as im pretty certain that they are as you said, stampeding through the website in hordes. On a lighter note, Im sorry that your chimney set on fire, i hope that everythings going fine for you.
