i've seen a lot of posts/discussions that are just too unbelievable like 25 year old having a 16year old daughter/son and stuff like. Come on, can't mylot users be honest to themselves and to those reading their posts. We don't have to lie to earn money. I think mylot has really been flooded with too many lies.

when i respond to discussions or topics i see here..first i look for topics i think i can contribute,second,read the discussion and think if i should respond when the poster is just telling a lie or just making topics so he could earn..
I do spend time answering discussions here..and when friends o my list post nice topics i make sure i respond and join in..when u contribute and join in the discussions of posters who lie we just help them lie more in other topics..

I've seen some completely ridiculous posts, too. And they just make me roll my eyes. Is it that hard to come up with something to post? Do people really have to resort to making things up or stealing experiences from other people? That's pretty much the definition of lame, if you ask me.

I agree cuddleme01, we need mylotians who have integrity, you should not engage in made up stories and you think we are not intelligent enough to seperate trush from the real stuff? Lets be real here, we shall make it a good place to share credible ideas.

Oh my 25 have a 16year old. Well yanno there are not alot honest people out there and if it involved money which you know make the world go around, some people just don't care as long as they can make money or get money. I haven't been on mylot very long but I have seen some really interest topics with 1 or 2 words for the body of the topic...

I think sensationalism is an unfortunate consequence of the myLot rewards system. People often write scandalous things knowing that it will evoke a greater response. I see it on here all the time. People also use stereotypes to get under other people's skin and provoke responses. I don't agree wih it and wish people wouldn't do it, but it's just a fact of life her on myLot. The only thing we can do is try to discourage habitual offenders by calling them out and not responding to their discussions.

yes i agree i have seen many stories which they tell us to elive but they dnt seems to be real. i think people are getting real creative in the ir minds to make money, and this is somethings which should be stopped. strange ones and even some write stories related to their family members and i think this is not a good thing to do. you make money but thwy write false things about your family members

Maybe it can happen if she has 25 year old daughter but I dont bother if theres a lot here just want to tell story, not their own, I dont bother on that if that what makes them happy then it's up to them.
