Members give stupid opinions

I saw one earlier, there was a topic about what you do with your kids as far as activities and someone posted " i dont have kids " .. so why even post something. I posted a discussion about favorite concerts theyve been to and someone posted " i dont know ".. I dont know why people post things that dont even pertain to them.. Well, they do because of money, but its really annoying

i was verry annoyed by all this also,started some discussions on the same subject myself,along with other friends of mine and seems like mylot has decided to do something about it so i am not bothered anymore..they have a new alghorythm and each time a person only answers with one or 2 words responses,they will get no money for that...so eventually they will get bored,seeing they have nothing to gain anymore,and they will try to post longer responses,or give up this site ...although i have noticed that those who realised now that they won"t be making anymore money they started copy pasting other people responses...i always give the report abuse and we should all do so

Yes, I see this as well. It's obvious that these people are just going through and pasting answers into posts to try to earn money. I always try to take the time to report these when I come across them. I wish I knew if it's doing any good to report them or not. I'm hoping MyLot will remove these people if they continue doing this.

It seems like that is happening more frequently, but if you didn't actually read the post you wouldn't catch it. At first glance it seems to be the normal three to four sentence response, but some of them are pretty far out there.

there just here for the miney

I have seen instances where a person hasn't even read the whole question and posted a one word answer that was different from what the question was asking.

I don't think that they are reading the whole question. And,they are not interested in an intelligent discussion either.

actually that was the first thing i noticed and was upset when i joined the site

This is just a waste of time to mind of. Id rather do my own business. I noticed that too. Like "How much is your earning in mylot today?" "HOw old are you?" "Do you like Mylot?". Well I really hate seeing these staff over and over again. My head is getting vexin.

I have made some silly responses myself and i feel bad about it. but have never made a yes or no answer..and i think it is annoying. and people who answer with a yes or no or a one worder are given no rating in my post.

no i dont have but i think it isn't good. in my point of view u should give your all ideas of ur mind.

Some of the people who are giving responses are doing it because they either didn't really read the discussion or they just want to post real quick to up their count. I have checked on a few of the discussions that I have started and seen answers that are just insane and let me know that the person did NOT read a thing I said. It's just really amusing when you think about it.

maybe we can do something about it..we can always hit the " - " if we see posts like that...let's give justice to quality posters.

Umh.. Maybe some people doesn't know how to say it or maybe they join this community just for money. For me joining English discusion is fun ^^. I able to read opinion from different culture,. Even though I can;t speak English fluently, I try my best not to do junk post ^^ Many people like to have many post count in many forum. Maybe be proud if theior post more than other member. I don;t know CCMIV

There are many types of people here on mylot, too bad not everyone uses the brains they have in their heads, what are you going to do, nothing, we can't get rid of them all. All we can do is rate them negative, alot of them just care about making a few bucks and forget everyone else's feelings. Like the first response to this post, that was so uncalled for.

i agree theres a lot of pretty pathetic quesitons out there but the last few days mylot seems to have deleted a lot of them which is nice for awhile i was getting so frustrated at sorting through the garbage questions to find one worth respponding to. With responses i think part of it is that a lot of the people using this site dont speak english well so they may respond with yes or no when they dont understand the question instead of just skipping over it and going on to a question that they do understand, so while it is frustrating and annoying just keep in mind that i may not always be on purpose. Hopefully as people use the site and gain a better understanding of how it works and the fact that these responses wont get them any earnings with the new way mylot is giving earnings this will start to happen less and less and we can enjoy the site as it was meant to be used and have some good quality discussions.

yeah dude, i know exactly how u feel, all these spammers runnin round, tryin to make a buck thru other's responses, really gets on my nerves, neways visit this link and u will know what i mean!!! and i think we can help mylot out!!! http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/363965.aspx

Yes there are many members replying in just one word or two giving no meaning at all. myLot has changed its algorithm and only members posting meaningful replies will be paid from now on. This will reduce the spamming in threads. I think the number of one or two word posts has come down since the introduction of the new algorithm. Do not worry!... Quality posts will not go unheeded. Cheers

for just money guys be cool

I've only been here a couple of day and I've ran into this many times. One guy was posting "I have no idea" to every question. It is irritating.
