If You Don't Know How It Works, Why Are You Here?

whenever I come across such Mylot related queries by a (new) user , I have been giving the links to guidelines , FAQ & alerts so that the (new) user will read & understand them . But I found that the same user starts a new discussion for the same query in different words - This is simply abusing the Mylot system . And I have been reporting such persons ...

The fact that people are getting paid for any discussion and any post makes it easier (and more profitable) to just ask the question here than to read guidelines, also it makes more members reply and repeat the same answers just by rewording it , so one member ask a question like "when will i get paid?" and he gets like 50 similar answer. People can read and they do read but they will continue posting these questions time after time even if they already know the answer :( And of course there are those members how just want to make as much money as possible and they don't waste a few minutes to understand how it works as long as they see their points raise every minute, once they get confused about something they start posting negative things about mylot and how it works and they may start suggesting some improvements that are already in place as you said.

I have always wondered why people tend to ignore the print. It isn't just with the internet and membership websites, but even in the real world away from their computer. They do ask questions that are clearly answered in the print. It would take them but seconds to learn the answers to their questions so I do not understand why they ask. It is one thing to simply not understand what the text is saying and to ask a question about its meaning rather than not read it and expect others to tell you. You still have to read it wether you look to the print or someone types it out for you.

I also see questions from high point users asking the most basic questions. I have been guilty myself when I first started of asking daft questions but it was usually about things that were not outlined in the guidelines.

I've been here about a week and I'm still trying to FIND the guidelines. Also, many people learn in different ways. I don't get much from having manuals/rules, etc read to me. Nor can I sit and read a set of rules from beginning to end. I have to jump in, try stuff, and learn from my mistakes. It's not the ideal way to learn but it is the only way I learn.

People are here to learn. If you have been here for less than a week it is normal to have a bunch of questions. After the week is up there should not be as many questions about how it works unless you have never used a specifice area on mylot.

maybe i should make that the 11th commandment. "Thou must read the guidlines before questioning within this site"

hey dont be rude dear,if someone dont know than we have to help them, we all have to explain then how they can earn more and more on mylot.

yes you are right.people should read the guidlines or FAQ before joining a site or atleast in this case after joining and before posting.and i guess all the not so new members posting such topics may have ran out of topics to post and such discussions are a great way to invite responses.so theres nothing you can do but avoid such posts and continue to post quality ones.

I totally agree..you couldn't have worded this better! It drives me crazy to see so many people asking such silly basic questions. Mylot has a FAQ section..why don't they read it. Yesterday when the reputation system was introduced, within seconds of the stars, they were atleast 10 of them asking what it was. It was just another reason for them to start a discussion!! Any new change in myLot's rules and you have a string of discussions all asking the same thing. I wonder exactly the same thing...if they don't know why are they here?!

well if we dont knw abt this bt still we here, bt when we will do sumthing here practical n will bear many prob after thn can learn more na.... n one day we will be rite earning....

It's not hard at all to read the guidelines. You even need to read those, well mayde the little details, but when I started here I barely read. It's all comon sense, right?

Hey if people will get away from the site how will they ever learn...... When u were new to this place did you knew everything????????

I have always to have honest behavior on mylot. I admit that I didn't read all of rules (I''l read it today :) ), but I already knows what are the limits in posting , and never go to these limits.

No I dont think it is hard to find the guidelines. However these people are making money by posting questions on the site. They are making money at something you did on your own. SHould they read the guidelines? yes they should. Is it wrong to ask questions on here, NO. Its not. They are smart enough to make money at it. As for them not being new users, then maybe the question isnt legit, but just one for people to post to.

i also see alot of members like that and yeah some of them already have hundreds or thounsands of ranks. i guess its all in a common sense. maybe those who post like "how is this works" or "im a newbie how can i earn" are people who dont know any topic to discuss and have the urgency to earn so they just post any nonsense topic. another thing are those who post question about the alert... i dont know if they dont understand the alert or they just want to post discussion.

... but maybe that user with more than 1000 posts asked that silly question three months ago or so ? (when he had only few posts - but now under his name is shown his actual rating)- just an opinion, maybe it's not the case you speak here .

Hey don't make fun uv us users of myspace this way! This sight is sew complikatid az it iz. I'm stil trying tu figyer owt y it sez I"m 423 years old next to my name. LOL. You make a good point. But seriously, though, you expect people to read the user guidelines of this place? Most people today could barely read a comic book or a box of Cheerios. Sorry, I'm hypercritical of our society, but it's hard to find anyone in the mainstream society who will admit to liking to read, and when I did my earlier stint in college, I saw many absolute morons get their degrees (I, on the other hand was the kind of moron that didn't graduate. So I'm doing it again--skool that is. Yuk Yuk) without ever having opened a book. Teachers, even!-- young men and women with education degrees who were minimalists by nature--these are who we are trusting our children to... Scary world we live in. Peace out.

In fact one of the normal hindrances happened was because most people did not like that understand what was delivered by mylot, whether they not all that understood in English like me or possibly them was lazy read.

i didn't understand your point of concern. how is it affect you if someone ask how to rate other! you just simply ignore thoise discussions. Mylot didn't tell you that you have to read all the discussions. you go to your interrest the pick the discussion of your choice and you if you think you can add something, go ahead and add that and help to enrich the forum. it is not at all to read all the guidlines i guess. but how do you ensure that they should have questions after reading guidlies too. if you discuss the topic you may be able to know much more. there are several example where the discussion topics looks very simple, inside there is a huge information and can really help someone. Looking forward for your patient for everyone ...
