What the heck are these guys doing?

its interesting because these members (and i know EXACTLY who you are talking about) do not seem to realize that you dont get paid for posting discussions abnd that you are only hurting yourself (through the rating system) if you post them...i would just inform them of that and see if it helps please give mew a good rating(i already did you) i like this discussion...its real haha

They are just trying to figure out the aglorithm to make more money. They think the more discussions they have the more money they will make. They will find out this is not true, we get paid by many methods and MY LOT is very good about rewarding post that are good. The only way to make theirs go to the bottom is start some newer better discussions. It is irritating but I don't know how they could be weeded out.

I have also noted that and I know whom you are referring to. Actually many fail to recognize that myLot has changed since it had started it's operations. I feel they will come to know about myLot better when they stay here for longer periods. myLot has already improved into a quality discussion zone. I think we all should try our best to keep it like that.

Is that those topics that posting their family issues or Love affairs issue are fallen into your so-called "What Can we do", "does" or "is" categories? Learnandearn! I started my topic for helping people to do Divination or Fortune Prediction for free, but there are no one interested to ask or look my topic! So weird, free stuff no one enjoy, just that they enjoy u to response their post XD!

I'm going through the "New Discussions" and there is one guy who keeps posting and posting and posting and some of the questions are stupid and I'm aksing myself why are you asking these. There was one about if some place had furniture. I think the name is weezy. Does anyone else notice this or is it just me?

Maybe if enough people report them, their posts will be removed. But I guess they'll just keep coming back. Now I just look at the "recent discussions". The "new discussions" page is just too cluttered.

Unfortunatly this is always the case no matter where you go, you get some lazy fool who thinks to himself "hey I know... If I spam mylot with stupid pointless one sentence topics then I might make some more money".. Don't they realise that first of all, mylot accumulates all the posts at the end, and then basically filters out the stupid 1 sentence or 1 word topics. which reduces that persons ranking. Plus theres this wonderful system on mylot called the ranking system which allows you to give a negative rating which is what I do followed by a report user to mylot.

There is more than one person doing this. I've seen at least three. One day it's one person and the next day it's another or both doing this. One had asked to be my friend. That was before I knew they were going to spam the discussions. When I woke up next morning my email box was full of their discussions. I answered two or three before I realized there were so many. I promply went to the "friends" part of my profile and turned the button off for emails on new discussions from that person. A couple of days later I had another similar incident and I did the same thing again and I don't post to those discussions because I don't want to encourage that kind of behavior and junk discussions.

I see these too! They bug me but mylot is paying attention to us. When you see these discussions, take the time to REPORT these cheaters and losers and give them a negative rating! It helps all of us. Also, I have a yahoo group for all of us to work together... It's on my profile!

haha! aren't you the one who replied some 50+ times to my discussion- Rihanna? that too, copy-pasted response [-( mylot deleted al those respnse, thankfully! but i guess my points went down becas of that! _

yes i think I know who you are talking about I know I responsed to a post that I alway try and responsed to my friends post and rate some of them the next day i seen they where in my friend list. well i will noe post to the one sentence post.

I agree with you. I think they should make two different discussion rooms. One for the idiots and one for the people who really want to have a discussion about something. Asking someone what color their eyes are doesn't qualify as a discussion to me. I think most of the people here are just in it for the money so they write silly stuff and people will respond because they want the money too. I try to go for the better discussions rather than answering with just one or two words. I've been on here for awhile and haven't even made $5 yet. That's because there aren't many discussions going on that spark my interest. I do wish they'd do something about it.

God created the yahoo group so we could take over mylot. Muhaww! Just kidding. However, the yahoo group will help reduce the spam. Just report and it will be deleted. I love mylot for instant deletion. Does mylot have volunteer moderators or what?

I know that MyLot admin clean up the discussions, but i think they need to do it more often, because i have read through some of the posts and i have only responded to about 5 today because they are full of absolute rubbish.

I dont think you have to worry too much about this as the people who are doing this and the respondants to these type of discussions are quickly negatively rated by MyLot users and then the participants start complaining that their post counts starts dropping. With the new MyLot regulations its becoming more and more difficult to get away with these types of junk posts. Also, I think its important that we (the real MyLot community) do not participate in these types of dicussions at all, this will naturally select against these type of users and they will change their tactics soon or leave MyLot.

Thanks for posting a discussion like this. But I think mylot is doing something for those members who are violating the rules of mylot.

Lots of people with time on their hands are trying to cheat the system. I'm being patient and sticking with it though, because MyLot is bound eliminate this chaff. It's not good for them either. Don't let it be discouraging. Just ignore and move on.

Well maybe we have to defined first what is quality posting. Because it is always that what is quality for them is not quality for you. The guidelines only says do not post topics answerable with yes or no. Meaning this kind of topics are not quality.

something has to be done by mylot team... atleast restrict the number of discussions one can post...its surely not going to unlimited

PLEASE UNDERSTAND ,THIS WEB IS FOR ALL THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, SOME PEOPLE LKIE ME ,POOR IN ENGLISH ,BUT I WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU AND STUDY FROM YOU !
