Mylot or Complain a lot?

Quality discussion one that a person is interested and not just an answer to acccumalate points. what could be quality to one could be a trash to another.It's mattter of how to take it.When all think alike no one thinks very much. so deleting someone because you do not agree should arise.

I know what you mean. I have started several discussions that I truely wanted to talk to people about but did not receive much attention. Perhaps if I had posted "do you like big boobs?" then I'd really get attention huh? LOL Seriously though, I think this site has potential for many people to discuss topics without worrying about people knowing who you are. Even if you are comlaining, it's good to get it out. I hope you'll visit my page http://mylot.com/CollectingMyThoughts and see if there's anything that you'd like to discuss with me. ( Actually, I just posted something today that I really need advice about) Anyway, have a great day!!!

I consider it a quality discussion if it causes me to think or learn or maybe make me laugh. I like my curiousity to be aroused. I like for the discussion to be factual and to give references for its facts. So, how about Global Cooling as a quality discussion? I know of such a discussion here at myLot. It is presented as an alternative point of view. It is rigorously researched by 2 scientitists. The study upon which the discussion is based was published in a scientific journal. The discussion has an URL to a blog that discusses the study in layman's terms. Have you ever wondered how anyone could dispute Global Warming? Want to find out how exceptionally intelligent people (the scientists, not me!) might disagree with that which so many others agree? Sound like a quality discussion? The thread I started on Global Cooling has zero responses so far. I give best response to whoever responds if only one person responds. You can get to the Global Cooling thread from my profile page under (Discussions I have Started). Good thread, Linda!

ya u r right ,there should be discussion on the hot issues of the present time not the issues of ur home or of ur family so that in that way u can increase ur knowledge and also aware about wat's happening in the world around.

your title had me in stitches, i almost woke my mother sleeping in the next room! the nice thing about this forum is that it has room for both kinds of topics. The deep meaningful duscussions have room like Oprah Winfreys's work with underprivileged girls, global warming, the protection of the environment, climate change, the evils of the dowry system, equality between the sexes, homelessness, etc.. and the folks who let 79000 folks know that they are planning to leave or come back. People who let 79000 people know they are deleting friends. People who complain about rude answers they get. People who start personal fights with other people on Mylot. Then there is the hopelessly curious who want to know what is the favorate color of 79000 different people, why, I can't hope to understand that, but each his/her own...lol

A quality discussion to me is one that makes you think or provokes some kind of emotional response in you and inspires you to reply. There are a lot of discussions where some one has just written a one line question which is annoying to see as they will make money from every response given to that, and a lot of people seem to respond them with similar short answers. This isn't a discussion it's more like a survey people starting discussions should try to write at least one paragraph as an introduction to inspire readers to respond with thought.

i hear you men! same here. i noticed that kind of thread here and yeah sometimes it get bored reading thsikind of post. and yeah those kind of topics gets the most response . i guess its earier for others to reply to this kind of topic it sjust neeed shallow response. i really dont have that definite defintion of quality post. for me as long as it gives alot of sesne and something i can relate to or something i may learn usefull staff then it has quality.

Well a quality discussion is sort of an undefined concept I guess. Atleast to many people around here. I have found many discussions that are more crap than there are words in them. Ideally any discussion that asks for people to 'think' & suggest avenues or workarounds would be a discussion that is worthwhile. A discussion necessarily should make people stop, think & suggest apart from requesting advise & guidance. I don't think a discussion on the color of my dog's hair is worth any time at all.

I know I have released some personal details about events in my life that I think were a relevant discussion. No one ever responded though. To me it wsa important to get responses about my stomach recently exploding after surgery. I thought that was a great topic. Nothing. I guess I don't network enough.

It is you who should tell us what do your own concept of the quality response and discussions. I have never complained, but have asked out for opinions. This very discussion that you have posted he is a complaint about other members' posting habit. Right? It is all about the perspective. You tell me any topic, I will prove it you that it is also a complaint. I bet you can't find a single "quality post", in that way.

I think every discussion is meaningful which is the best.Although sometimes people complain a lot here,if we can say out what we dislike freely here,y not?In our life,a lot of things we can't tell them to our friends,then mylot is a good place to relax.

I think that myLot is like people in general.I'm an emt and when I used to go out on runs there are always lots of people that stop at accidents.They don't want to see blood and guts but they don't want to miss it either.If there is a fight some will post taking sides,others will post saying take the fight somewhere else and others will post as peace makers. To me a discussion is anything that anyone wants to talk about.I try to answer some that I disagree with just to give a different view. It shows that the people on this discussion are primarily not interested in certain things.Most of my discussions do not get tons of replies but I have a great time with those that do reply.There are alot of really nice folks here. Thanks R

Those people that you are talking about are those people who's been here for a long time now and really running out of topics to post about.. Well anyway, there's still lots of things, new things i should say that we can really talk about.. So now, you're asking about the definition of a quality discussion in my own opinion? Well, i would say that the true meaning of it is like a brain storming thing.. you know what i mean? It has to be very useful for lots of people, very significant, very meaningful, true and has to make sense at all! Have a nice day ahead mah friend…

I think a quality discussion should involve something important. It should garner input from others and thier interest as well. I think that it should benefit the poster as well as others. There is too much fluff out there that can be kept for other conversations...etc.

Well to me I think a quality discussion is a discussion that everyone can relate to or have an opinion about. Your right when people post things about their lives and so they always seem to get high volume of responses but to me these are not quailty because not even half of us might even have insights on a personal topic that has been posted like such. People all have their own opinions I guess but Id like to see all the crying stop here aboout the cheaters its a waste of space if you ask me.

Excellent post (+) I totally agree. I define a good discussion to be where the topic is clear and an opinion or question is being asked I like a link to be given if more details to the topic are available on the web. I ignore all discussion that are inane i.e. what your favorite color, candy bar, fruit, etc. I also dislike and ignore discussions where either only a link is posted or a person just makes a statement, no question or opinion asked for.

I agree with you. You forgot to mention the countless posts that read something like this: " I want to make money on the internet, but I want to be able to just sit at my computer and do nothing and get paid for it, and I don't want to get scammed or anything like that..." Or the ones that are a series of tirades between two people that are only focused on each other. They get me laughing, but when I think about it later, I wonder why they didn't have their heated discussing using Private messaging or something like that.

Oh my, that is kind of hard to answer, i dont think that just because these discussions get more answers, its means that its a quality discussion. I think the reason why these tyoes of discussions garner many responses is because A lot of users here at myLot can relate to those posts- that's why they get more responses. Besides, i've been having the same problem since i came here- i can't seem to justify whether some discussions that i post are of good quality since most of the time, i just get few responses, though i feel that the topic ive posted is interesting enough. One thing i also observe here- i think you get the quality of your post from the ratings that your respondents give toyour discussion- if they all your respondets have rated your discussion (+) then i think that makes your discussion a quality discussion.. =) i rated yours (+) dont worry =)

quality of discussion depends on the person reading it... take care!!
