This is for me and anyone else out there that feels the same way. First off I am tired of looking at discussions with titles like; photo earnings, great site to earn from, whats your favorite receipe, and so on. I admit I have probably posted to some lame topics, but it was mostly because I could find nothing else to reply to.
I just came from a topic where the title was put there to get attention (something about scams), and the posting was about something completely different, the poster did this to get people to read it, and yet the first person who responded only read the Subject line. If you can't, won't, or don't want to read the discussion then why post? Are pennies really that important to you?
The thing that probably bothers me the most is that I thought the guidelines said to look for discussions that you should add to and not to duplicate what may have already been posted, well I posted yesterday, and an hour later another post, basically the same as mine, in the same category was posted. Thats all good, I still got a lot of responses, but I don't think that people are even bothering to pay attention to the rules or even care for that matter as long as they make a buck.
Go ahead and tell me what you think.

i usually try to find my own ideeas for topics here...i've said it before...it might happen to write twice or post same ideea (not written the same way) with another user (not once for now but who knows in the future it might happen)...ps...it's something that you will encounter in a pay sistem like mylot.people always try to cheat...and get rich with one cent extra :))

Apparently so, I have no need for the extra penny, I joined here to get some new ideas, and just with the post on here from people who would do anything to get that extra penny, I already have several ideas for articles and stories.

I joined here because i saw some interesting topics..and said "why not?" after checking it if it weren't a scam and started to "Lot".So far i am dissapointed because people are interested in cellphones than global warming...or just the human kind (not their kind apparently..).Oh well...thak you for adding me to friends...i wish you a good "myLot-ing" in the future.

I know exactly what you mean. It really annoys me that a lot of pointless posts get a lot of responses. Hopefully when mylot does their clean up all those posts and money they made from them will disappear. I would like to think that once these people realize that they won't actually earn money from that, they will disappear also, but it doesn't seem likely. I wish there was someway to rate a discussion as good or bad. :)

I guess that we can hope that it changes, but even if it doesn't I just won't be spending that much time here, I just don't have time to sift through all the crappy posts.

Well I think, people just don't bother to read the guidelines or don't understand them and definitely they do not check if the topic has been posted before. I think eventually Mylot should find a solution to this. They could kick out the second question on the same topic. I am also discouraged when I look at some of the topics as you mentioned, but what really gets me going is when people use text messaging conventions. There are a lot of people here who do this. I always tell them if I answer them, but lo and behold the next time that person posts it is in text messaging style again. Instead of you it is"u", and is"n", people are"ppl". What can you do?

It is more than obvious that people do not read the guidelines or the FAQ or how the earnings works or anything else for that matter, that why you see posts about; "how do I get my star", "how do I earn", "how much will I earn", "are there other sites like this", "how do I upload photos", "how much do I get paid for photos", "will mylot pay me".....and oh so many more that it is just lame.

I reply to what interests me, and ignore what doesn't. You're not the first to post a rant like this, so that in itsself CAN be considered a topic duplication. In my opinion, the bottom line is that we're not going to stop this stuff ourselves, that's up to Mylot staff. Just ignore it and move on. If you don't like something, don't participate.

And again after I posted this there was another person who posted something similar, so no obviously I am not the only one, and I won't be participating in what I feel is lame discussion postings.

i just respond to discussions which interests me, and not just to earn money. i'm actually here to learn moree, help those people who asks for advice, and practice my english grammar, not to earn money. i think those people who reposts discussions really want to earn a lot of $ that's why they do that. also, i find it really boring to respond to discussions that are almost the same. they just want to earn money, that's why they post nonsense discussions and posts.

Comments like this are exactly why I posted this discussion. I doesn't matter what I post.
