Inane or just plain stupid posts in threads!

I don't have an opinion on this topic. ;P No honestly. I like your rant, very well said. I can't stand those people who are just posting for the sake of money. I mean it is a nice addition for sure but a forum is there to discuss topics that are important to you or interessting and to meet different sorts of people. Answers like 'I don't really care' just don't act beneficial to any discussion. Such members don't even take the time to read through the anwers, they just read the headline and are maybe skimming through the opening post and are then hurrying to type there thoughtless post.. I hope some of those members are going to think their 'post-behaviour' over thanks to your discussion!

I am soooo with you! I can't stand it when someone takes the time to post a nice, well-written discussion only to get a bunch of "i don't know" type answers. If you have nothing to say, say nothing! I never hesitate to use the [-] button!

I Like your rant!! and i totally agree, why do these people bother to answer at all?, THIS IS A DISCUSSION people, if you don't have anything to add to the discussion then don't try, believe me the site will be far better off without these people who just answer to see the wee number go up beside their name, i think it is very ignorant, if the person starting the discussion takes time to think about it, type it, and respond to responses, and the person responding just couldn't be bothered (at least try to form an opinion).

Yes there are a lot of them in my Discussions to and it is stupid and annoying but I just ignore them now or put a sarcastic Comment under theirs

Saying "I have no comment on this topic" etc. is banned here Gemma, nobody should be saying it, and they certainatly wond be geting any cash for it. It annoys me how many "lame" responses there are too. I want people to have interesting discussions, keeps me interested if you know what I mean. And sorry for not replying earlier, I have been busy. Here is a late bump for you anyway lol.

I agree with you, its so annoying. Either they do it to make a quick buck or they are airheads that cant think of something to write. On the other hand, I must admit that some topics on MyLot is also reaching the ultimate levels of boredome, its mind numbing to say the least, so I can imagine tht some people are just copying and pasting the same answer to all of the quations. Grade them nagtively! They are wasting bandwith and everyone elses time!

You are not on your own!! There are lots of us think the same way. But....... The new guide lines will sort most of them out, because they will not get paid very much for their posts and so maybe with a bit of luck they will resign from the site!!!!

My biggest pet peave is when people responnd with "I don't know".For goodeness sakes if you have nothing to add to the discussion don't bloody respond.I have snapped at these people,why the hell waste my time and yours?.I would rather they don't post at all but I think they have it in their heads that any response is going to get them money. Oh and......I like horses :P

Fortunatly the things they have been doing to mylot has meant all of these issues are now not as apparent as they used to be. Thankfully really, I was getting REALLY sick of those kinds of discussions and responses. Not constructive at all.

Oh i couldnt agree more, just like the idiots that post topics like why are golfish red? what is that? makes me so mad and its obvious that they are only trying to rip offf the system and make a buck. It makes it hard when you are trying to find something decent to read and all you find is mind numbing crap with stupid pathetic posts! oh sorry vent over now also! lol

well, you can in your threads...i mean, in some of mine i've seen someone copy and past my discussion question and another person copy & paste the mature content blab thing...in other people i've seen someone talk about something totaly out of the question, the question was about anime and different types and they respond to with somthing about filing paper work and getting organized...???wha??? i think people are just pasting whatever....i keep seeing answers like.."i am an intern and a medical clinic" well what the hell does that have to do with the relationship question asked???

What you have just pointed out may be true. But think it in this way, people want to participate in some particular discussion and they do so my posting thier thoughts, but what about the people who cannot think of a good reply to post on. You can say such people should leave such topics to 'experts'. Agreed, but eventually where would they go?

You're definitely right. They're not adding to the conversation at all. I thought that the new algorhythm was suppose to fix this but it doesn't look like it has. I think that's really quite a shame.

you are right..............................................................just kidding. I know this is my husbands biggest pet peeve here on my lot, he is now giving people who do that a negative mark on the comment because he is fed up. Seriously if you don't know people just stay out of the conversation.

Can't agree more, that is the whole idea after all.

i dont feel like answering :P
