The Sad Truth about mylot...

Ive been a member for quite some time now, during my stay here at mylot i have noticed some problems that until now have not been address by mylot. I have listed this problems, if you have something to add please feel free to do so. 1. There is no Visible Moderator that participate or answers the questions or inquiries of mylot members. This is a big problem since the users are forced to ask questions to fellow members of this community which in most cases adds to the confusion instead of helping. I believe that a visible moderator, signed in and participating in discussions will help those users give an authoritative answers to their questions and will let spammer and cheaters be aware that their is someone watching. Yes i know that there is someone watching over our activity, but why can't they come out and reveal themselves. 2. Star rating is based on the rate given to a user in the comments he made on a certain topic. This means that if your a type of person who usually gives an argumentative and negative comment to a topic you are most likely to be given a negative rating, this will eventually decreased your star rating and posibbly affects your earning. Any user is entitled to his own opininon, may it be a postive or a negative one, giving a person a negative rating just because he disagreed with you is lame and rude. Of course if the comment is of personal, degrading and defamatory nature i advice you to report it to mylot admin. 3. Earnings have decreased, post is being deleted without someone from mylot explaining it or sending an alert why those post have been deleted or why a certain earning was decresed. Again a moderator would be a great help in this situation. You don't want us to assume anything do you?. 4. No definitive guidelines on what really is a quality post, i have visited some comunities and they have defined quality post, their definition of a quality post is based on spelling, grammar, punctuations and sentence construction. I believe that it is necessary to define a quality post since our earning is based on it, we always criticize one line post and response and call it as a post that lacks quality but what really is a quality post??? we always assume that this and that is a quality post, if there's only a guideline that we can based our post and response. 5. Mylot needs additional features like spell checker, and an alert system that let users be aware that someone has responded to their discussions etc. 6. A lot of bugs, during posting you may sometimes be taken in to a blank page and your hard work has been wasted. A usual error stating that you cannot copy / paste eventhough you are not engage in such activity. I have noticed that this bugs frequently occurs during earning updates. I know that mylot is working hard to fix this problems, im giving them credit for it. Other than this, mylot is a great community giving us oppurtunity to earn some extra cash while enjoying our freedom to express our selves and give our points of view. I believe that mylot is the best pay per post sites out there.

what a great discussion, i think if a moderator was around on the forums, it would make life easier and a bog difference, plus the spell checker idea os great because i can spell wrong even tho i was a good speller at school, i think it's just this keyboard! :)

I think your observations are correct. The part about the moderators is nice. To say the truth, it doesn't really disturb me. The bugs have to be fixed though. Apart from all these problems, mylot is still the best forum around.

Yup mylot is still the best pay per post site that exist. An honest paying site. So far nothing comes close to it in terms of reputation.

This is a great read for someone who has just signed up three days ago, without any background of what MyLot is all about. I echo the sentiments, especially on the moderator. However, I gotta admit I'm having fun just posting about stuff and some of my favorite TV shows, so what the heck :)
