It's my perogative to read and answer those discussions I choose.

If I read a discussion on myLot, I understand I am free to post my opinion of that discussion. For example I recently looked into several discussions inviting me to make money online. I've been making money online for YEARS. I know it's not worth posting a program unless I myself have been paid by it. So I responded that these particular posts were a waste of my time because they showed no proof of earnings. If you have any experience in internet earning you know it's a waste of time for people to promote unless they have proof of earnings. Or, if you post outright that it's in prelaunch, so you're not raising false hopes.
What I'm saying by Don't Waste My Time with those promotions is Don't post them unless you can prove earnings. You're wasting your own and everyone else's time. When you can prove your earnings, it's neither a waste for you nor me. If it's prelaunch, then say so. Then it's all clear.
In the meantime, post what you want and I will read and respond to what I want. If you don't like what I post, it's ok if you rate me negative...that's up to you. I was raised to believe in life and also led to believe by myLot that I could read and post what I want. So I will reply if I want. It's your perogative to like it or not like it. I usually try not to attack people online but at times I am tired of people's ignorance. Don't tell me what and what not to do, what not to read, and what to write. I don't think we need to impose censorship on each other online. I don't believe in censorship. Maybe I word it wrong by saying Don't post this to waste our time. Instead I should say It is MY OPINION that you are wasting my time. That way I am not censoring anyone. Above all...when you tell me what not to read...that's just purely ridiculous. I generally read it if it's there. That's part of myLot...people post, and I read and vice versa.

I agree with what you say. It is not at all easy to make money online. If it was, then, nobody would go and work outside. The posts which you mention is the result of newbies, who want to get referrals, just post info about the sites, so that they can get more people below them in the chain. They will learn with experience.

i don't like it too when people post about earning sites with no proof to show. i mean, they should post only when they already received their earnings. Before inviting people to join they must make it sure first that they are not leading people to be scammed. i don't post any earning site unless i got really paid. I don't wanna waste other people's time on something that is uncertain.
Regarding your right to read and respond to discussions, i agree. It is your prerogative. If you choose to respond or not, it's nobody's business. we live in a free world. no one should deprive of your right to choose.

When I find topic's I don't like, I will just skip them. And I find myself skipping a lot of these type of discussion's about making money. I did try one, and I have only to blame myself lol. It was a waste of time. Good luck.

You are right you can post and read what you want. Others can do the same. They may feel uncomfortable about proving their earnings on a site like this. I don't blame them. They shouldn't rate you bad because you disagree with them. You shouldn't rate the bad because you disagree with them. We are all entitled to our thoughts and feelings as lond as we are not being mean to be mean.

I don't pay much attention to the posts about making money online. These people are spread to thin trying to make money from anything that comes down the pike. I think it is best to put your efforts into a few ideas and once you be come an expert at one or two things, then begin to add others. I agree, where is the proof?
You are free to do anything you want on this site, as long as it fits withing the rules. Sometimes people ask for opinions or help and it is impossible to know when you are telling them what to do. Some people will listen to eveything and consider the suggestions. Others are offended at the least bit of advice, even when they are asking for some.

Yeah, I do understand what your point here. I'm fairly novice here and so far I gained a lot of insights here at myLot. Unfortunately, money is real slow like you have to spend as much time as you can just to earn a little more. Quite frankly, with my earnings as of now, I can only buy a few hamburgers for my girls. A few days earlier, I joined agloco through my friend. In case something went wrong, I only have myself to blame. Some people will go right up and blamed others. That's not right. Wish you the best.

I stated my opinion on one discussion. OPINION. I got a reply that said, if you don't like it, don't read and answer this discussion. Opinion is called for on myLot. How much fun would it be if everyone agreed with you on everything. But I don't want to be told Don't read it or don't answer it. Censorship sucks in all forms. I for example was not censoring earning discussions...I'm only placing on them the condition that if you want to post a link, don't post stuff that you don't know for a fact earns you money.

i agree with you... it is our right to choose which discussions we want to read and reply... and nobody can stop you from voicing your opinion as long as it is not offensive and attacking other people... nobody should act like a police here and censoring what we write... this is a free forum... as long as we abide to mylot rules and regulations, we should be fine... the one who can do censorship is only mylot admin... let them decide...

The new discussions I always delete in my email box are the 'discussions' about: do you like this or that, which is better, green or yellow, that kind of things. They are posted by newbies (I am a newbie myself) who want to reach a big number of postings/discussions per day... I never respond to them. I go for quality, not quantity. Let's be honest, posting on a forum is mostly fun to do, you are not making an income here... pinmomey at the most (does that word still exist, btw?). So I totall y agree with you that it is you (or me) who decide which threads to read and which not. I HOPE by ignoring those pointless threads, they will eventually vanish...;-))

Ok, we all know your age group now Ms PinMoney. LMAO. I totally agree with you. The problem with hoping pointless threads will go away if you ignore them is like ignoring hemmeroids and hoping they will go away. Continue to have fun. And by the way...do you prefer birds or fish?

People who post that they earn in a certain site maybe they are new her in earning money on line, they were just excited that they post immediately, and before anything else they should read the guidelines first on how to post. People have different likes and dislike, we have diiferent character so if you dont like to respond to thier post its ok, we are free here to discuss what were our opinion. So just respond to what you like.All the topics that were posted were all our own Opinion.

Another well written discussion by you. I agree completely-- I will choose what I want to read and what I want to respond to. Most times I skip over the Make extra money. At times I will read it if it's written by a friend. I understand your other post- by do not post.. It's just your opinion. Most people will ignore it.. as they don't care if they have made money or not- They probably get some kind of credit for people using thier links and signing up. That's why they post it so early. I don't fall for that- I do not personally have the time to go and sign into alot more sites-- extra money making sites.
Good post.
