What do you do with members that put up multiple questions in a row?

I just move on. Unless they are repeating the same exact question over and over, they are not really breaking any rule. It is annoying though, but I just ignore and go on with myself. Besides, many are just wanting to make a lot of posts and they don't mind answering to them. Me, I like posting to things that are interesting.

I try to ignore them. I remember the day before yesterday I opened a page and the entire page was taken up with questions by just one member, save for one at the bottom. I find it annoying because most of us enjoy discussions and responding to discussions, but when a page is filled with utter crap, it becomes tedious. I just don't respond to them.. That way, they're not earning money through my hard work for typing stupid questions about nothing.

It used to merely annoy me but now it really ticks me off. If it is obvious spamming and the discussions started are in violation of myLot rules I will report it. I refuse to spend my time giving millions of - to bad discussions. I occasionally give a - to someone who has made a bad post in a discussion I am replying to though. Mylot has to get a grip on these spammers before they ruin this site.

I just tend to ignore them and move on. I find that I have one user on my friend list who does this sometimes, but who also posts truly good posts at other times, and I would hate to lose even one person off of my list who posts things that I enjoy replying to. I wish that that person understood taht most of their topics will probably be deleted for being spammy when Mylot cleans up, though. I guess that I should talk to that person, but it worries me that they might get upset with me, and I'm not a confrontational type. To me, it's just easier to let it go and move on.

oh gosh if they are on my frend's list i just answer them lol..cos a lot of them are not english..so english is not their first language so i answer them to give them more encouragement to post..have i stuffed up then lol?

Well when I first started on this site that's exactly what I did, but every topics I started had a point to them I was just trying to find out how this site worked. I get really frustrated with the people that do leave pointless discussions expecially when they are one after anouther.

I have seen a few instances of this lately and it is very annoying. One member keeps posting useless questions in the computer category so that the first couple of pages are by the same person, which is definitely spamming in my opinion. I have tried rating a negative and have reported it, but to no avail.

I can't see the purpose in posting topics one after the other, and I am sure that some of them never bother to read or rate the responses. I have one of those on my friends list and now I don't bother responding to her topics. I always check to see if she is commenting and rating the responses and she doesn't seem to be bothered, so why respond. I don't report or rate them, I just move on to the next topic.

I really don't care because there are so many members here that do that, so I just don't pay attention to it anymore. It will be very difficult to kick them all, but if we all report them, maybe one day there won't be such problems in the future. But I doubt it.

I hate it especially when I go to discussions with no responses and their are pages and pages from the same person. I have reported 2 of them. One was banned from mylot for uploading jokes by some sort of spammer devise. In less than 12 hours of joining he had uploaded 1,000 jokes in 1 minute intervals. The other is at it again, I just went to discussions with no responses and they are uploading one after the other. I don't respond to members that do that and have 3 people in my friends list that notifier isn't on anymore because of that. Most of the discussions from these members are all the same types of dicussions just a different angle on it or reworded. Rant, rant, rant. Maybe they will seem themselves in posts like this and STOP!!!! :) Wishful thinking.

It bothers me so much when people post so many discussions in a topic that the whole page is covered with that user...and you can't see anything that might actually be interesting. I think we should form an unofficial coalition to report them when we see it happening- the more reports, the more incentive for them to quit.

dont' think that there is much for us to do. it annoys me too! I guess it's always going to come up more people like that so it's just not worth the time.

It depends on what the post is, I cannot say that I would not report someone for excessive posting, it is really not fair to clog up categories with useless postings that we all have to sift through to find anything worth responding to. I have only been here for a week but I can see that like all sites, there are genuine people out there to give responses and post quality discussion, then there are those that are here to pinch pennies. Well to the penny pinchers I say you need a real job, posting here should not be a job for anyone, and to the people who are real, well I will be searching through the other discussions and hopefully I will happen on yours.

Truely. I just joined MyLot and find that most of the stuff on here is garbage. Seems that no one monitors what is worthy of discussion and what is not. How many times do we have to see junk, such as "It hurts when I go to the bathroom, what should I do?" Duh, see a doctor! I have tried to start discussions on fairly meaningful topics (of course, that is my opinion). I guess we just bypass the things we do not deem meaningful.

It doesn't bother me, because I figure that's their time to post their questions. Sometimes you come up with some and sometimes you don't. I know a couple people that write down their discussion questions and only post when they've accumulated 10. So, from my view, I read through them and if I want to respond I do, if not then I delete the email notification and go to the next one. The only time I've reported someone was if the discussion was repulsive, just completely unappropriate, or someone soliciting to get-rich-quick scams. REMEMBER: What seems Useless to one person, may actually be helpful, humorous, or important to someone else. :) Gotta Love it!

I don't pay attention to them. If it is something that I care to answer then I do. Otherwise I just move along. You should not let it concern you, do what you feel is best and then move on to the next thing. You will always find people that are not doing things by the rules or are using their own methods. Good luck.

To be honest, I find that I just ignore them now. The stupid one liners, the constant barrage of idiotic pseudo questions, some of them appear to be kids homework questions for goodness sake. It does annoy me though, as I am here to enjoy discussions, not trawl through a sea of rubbish.

I ignore them completely. They're usually putting up discussions that don't lead anywhere or are the sme subject expressed slightly differently, or they're out and out spam.

Its not really your place to judge other peoples' questions and their motives for posting those questions. It may be annoying to see a long list of questions from the same poster but to each his own. Personally, I just ignore them and enjoy the community for what it is. They don't "ruin" MyLot for me. There are plenty of people on here who use the community to have real questions answered and try to start interesting discussions. I know because I have asked a lot of questions just to hear what people think about certain topics, sometimes they go unanswered and sometimes they spark nice discussions.

I just joined this today and I have actually noticed that a lot. I was wondering why there were so many, to put it bluntly, stupid topics. I also kind of don't like the layout of this discussion board. It is rather difficult to navigate and I am an 'experienced internet user.'
