Why do many people still only try to rack points in place of actually giving full answers? I read many questions and I see short answers hat are not classified as a proper ansswer or I see long jobberish like people are typing anything. I am curious if you know it is monitored? Will this post change the ways you post in the future?

I don't believe it is monitored, however I have seen a 'moderator' floating around, but it 'real' or not I have no idea, as there was no way to tell, ie. no special colour/markings that could indentify them from anyone other than someone pulling 'prank'. However we can 'monitor' this ourselves and try to prevent it by after anyone who's posted purely for points (one word answer replies where a long one was required) consider marking them down for negative feedback. I think there's more positive incentives for answering a question in full for example best responses and positive feedback, which makes it seem they've generally left it up to the users. Though really, myLot is full of interactivity, I've spoken to many people and actually enjoyed the conversation, you're not going to have much fun postng one word replies to everything and most likely soon give up when they realise it's not efficient to make 'mega bucks'.

Hi. Okay I also did a few short answers, but I did realise that you actually earn less for short answers. I almost doubled my rating using some short answers, but the money didn't. So I think the length of the aswer maker a difference, as well as if you get a best reponse.

The posts really depends on the title of the discussion. Some topics can be answered long and some short. It really depends on the person making an answer. We should be thankful that somehow even if it only a short answer they still make an effort to make a comment. It's better than no answer you know.

A very true point u bhave there. I myself have noticed this. I guess people here are more interested in making money fast than to solve others problems although those people themselves say that they r doing this for fun and not for money. I think myLot should monitor these types of postes and remove the postcount of the user for that unneeded post.
