IS IT POSSIBLE

Thanks! I was just wondering because I keep reading about someone who is bragging about posting 100 or more posts per hour; they don't seem like quality responses or discussions to me. Like you, I'm not here for the money.

^ oh - Thanks for selelecting my reply as the best response . it encourages to post more quality responses .

I agree with you, it only means that 1 hour is not enough.

I know what you mean about typing faster since joining MyLot! Do you find that you're starting to type with more than 2 fingers now? I've heard that people actually teach themselves to type through these forums. Maybe I should have my boyfriend join- he is a very, very slow 2 finger typer!

Thanks, wolfie! I don't know how you did 100 in a day- my back would be yelling at me for sure! I could never sit here that long. Some day I am going to try for 100 in a day just to say that I did it, as kind of a personal challenge. Other than that, I'm going to keep doing as I have been, as you've suggested.

It also would depend on the quality of discussions that the user is answering and the quality of his answers. I have trouble with 20 in an hour!

I'm with you- I can't even think that fast, much less type it out! It turned out that the person who was boasting this is no longer a member here- his posts were all "yes", "no", "I don't know", or "I agree"... I'm glad that MyLot has been cleaning this place up!

I don't even bother to count anymore. The star ratings mean nothing, because they go down if someone disagrees with you and rates you negatively, and I don't really keep track of how many credits I have. That's why when people here start noticing that they lost 1 or 2 credits I am amazed. I don't think that I would notice unless it was a huge number!

Or maybe a program that types for you as your talk. My second mom had something like that because she was horrible at typing. So, if someone could had one of those, all one would have to do it talk and send. So, as long as there is not a lag with the program...it could be possible. But I still do not think it would be very high quality.

Jimbo, 21 in an hour is still good. That's about all I can do in an entire day! And your posts are always high-quality.

Jimbo, let us know how you do! I'm thinking that a new user from China is using some kind of automated bot to post discussions yesterday and today.

hahaha I would find that very hard to do blessed be

Ahh but hopefully for every one person that gives a bad rating purely due to disagreeing, there is another one (or more) who will neutralise and award a more positive rating for the effort. Like what I have been doing in some of your topics :P

That is what the star system is for, but I'm seeing more and more that people are using it to "get back at" users who disagree with them. That's how my rating keeps dropping, and I know that several others feel the same. It's getting so that we're afraid to post in any controversial conversations or debates, because we'll end up with a rating of "1". By the way, what voice recognition program did your family member use? Not that I'm considering it, but we had trialed Dragon at work a few years ago and it was a complete disaster. I can understand that it had trouble with the Doctor's voice because he has a heavy accent, but I don't and it was horrible, even with a lot of "retraining".

Charles, Thanks, friend! And I always do the same! You have a great outlook and way of looking at things. I should take lessons from you to improve my "attitude"!

All of your responses ARE quality; the effort that you put into them shows clearly. That is how all of us should be using this forum- it would make for a lot more good discussions to contribute to, don't you think? I can easily spend the better part of an hour just reading the posts and pondering what people are saying. I'm not here to simply post and see my numbers going up; I like to learn new things, and I find this place to be enjoyable.

Thank you for the compliment. I totally agree that I enjoy learning new things, and reading what people think. There are times that I will pour over one discussion really taking in what everyone had to say and sometimes I decide that anything I could say has already been said, so there is no need for me to respond. I just enjoy the community here as a whole, and earning the money is just a bonus to add to the wonderful thoughts, opinon's and knowledge that I gain from being here.

wow thats pretty much fast

Wow, that is fast! I can't type that fast, no matter what. I also tend to get side-tracked looking things up or reading people's profiles, etc. so it takes me a lot longer. I must have a problem with my attention span!

you have to be one fast typer for that or you have to be doing 1 letter responce becuase it took me about 1 hour just to get my 10 posts

You are so right! But don't be too hard on yourself. Your topics are great, but they are thought provoking and those who want to quickly post and move on merely to earn money will not be able to post a good response to your discussions. You definitely have a cool ability to think outside the box, which is something that I admire and wish that I could develop in myself.

Thanks a lot for the compliment! *blush* :)

Thanks, Ronita. This means a lot coming from you, as you are one of myLot's best posters! Have a great weekend.

We're a lot alike. I like to read the other posts and then ponder my thoughts and come up with a good response. I feel like my answers are too long, also; I think that's a result of years of work as a nurse. Before computerized records, we had to write pages and pages of documentation. It was drilled into our heads for years, and I was very thorough. That carries over in all that I do, and sometimes it is a hindrance. I find it impossible to write a "short" letter or article! I also think that if someone doesn't read the other responses, they won't learn anything from the MyLot experience. I guess that it depends on your reasons for being here, but I enjoy considering the thoughts and experiences of others. It contributes to my own personal growth.

Pretty much impossible without a bot, don't you think? I have never even done that in a day, I don't think.

Thanks! I can do about 10-15 an hour. I take too much time reading the discussion and I get sidetracked easily.

I do the same thing. Most of the time I just go to My Friends folder, and I start with the first user and answer any discussions that are new, and I gradually work my way through. It takes a while, and once I get it done it's time to start over!

Even spending all day here I couldn't do it. My fingers would freeze up from typing, as they are trying to do now!

I am a quick reader but my typing is on the slower side. I can do maybe 20 in an hour, but my problem is that I get sidetracked easily and start looking at profiles, etc. I need to stay on track, I guess.
