What's the deal with online friends? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com8 months ago

There is a guy who joined 2 months ago He has a (4) after his screen name and he has over 10,000 friends. Now I have a few friends on MyLot. Mostly people that I've interacted with in discussions. But what is the advantage of having hundreds or even thousands of online friends? Especially if you don't post.?~/

You got a point here! Some invite friends right and left to spam them! I am wary of these types of friends and delete them right away. I also do not accept friends who have less than 5 ratings. If I have friends who are still 10 to 20 ratings after a year, I delete them. Lately, I deleted a lot of friends because I have not seen them in my duscussions or even in my friends' discussions. What are friends for if they are not visiting your posts!


myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Yeah this guy sent me a friend invite A month or so ago, Out of the blue, I didn't accept it but I didn't delete him either so I could keep an Eye on what he's up to. I have another friend I got OotB also, But then she just disappeared. I will wait a little while longer and then probably delete her. I have one of those on my YouTube page also.


myLot reputation of 93/100. elitess (1873)   ranked 141 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Yeah, it's the guy with the girl picture right? he sent me invite as well and accepted him at first but after that i deleted him. I think he is trying to become referral for the new users because if i understood the referral system correctly, if a new user has 0 posts and you make him your first friend he becomes your referral?


myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Elitess, He has long hair in his picture but he's a he. I would rather not ID him because I don't him to think I'm accusing him of anything. I think he is using myLot to drive traffic to his website. I have no problem with that. I'm just going to watch and see what he doing.

Hi,
Wow, 10,000 friends in myLot. That is really a lot. If all those friends are referrals then that person will be making money in myLot without doing much work. lol

I make friends in myLot when people add me or I will add people myself. I don't care whether they have high star rating or not. Sooner or later, their rating will go up. I just want to make friends in myLot, start discussions and make money. thumbup


myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Well, Thanks for commenting here. As I write this I have 96 posts, I get my star at 100, so I guess I'll find out how well I'm liked on myLot!!! can't wait!


myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

OK, NOW I have 96 posts. My bad


myLot reputation of 96/100. sdas86 (2097)   ranked 222 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Hi,
You are almost there. 4 more posts and you will reach 100 posts. Best of luck. lol

I personally don't want to add people to my friends list. I don't see the point of adding people you don't know. What's most irratiting is the same people trying to add you all the time. You would think after the first deny they would take the hint....NOT.


myLot reputation of 93/100. elitess (1873)   ranked 141 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

To answer your question, although i am off-topic by doing this: the reason for adding new friends is that you can view the discussions that they create or answer. I, for example, only add as friends the people that i like after meeting them in more discussions from my interests.


myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Hey If they want to hang out with roses they have to deal with a few thorns.


myLot reputation of 82/100. teetee195 (836)   ranked 7,364 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Maybe they want to add you to their friends list because they can relate to your discussions and want to put their 2ยข's in.


flowerpower5 (79)   ranked 14,975 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

I would have to give that some though. I usually look for the days top discussions and if anything sparks an interest I write. I don't get much time on here and adding a bunch of people I don't know isn't appealing to me. Maybe the more I use it but not right now.

Hello, this person may have 10,000 friends but what is the point. You dont earn any more for having friends as they are not referrals. If you accept friends then you should really be interacting with their discussions and topics which, obviously this prson is not as they only have (4) after their name .
Maybe someone should drop hm a line and explain how things really work here in myLot.
Anyway enough rambling I hope they are happy with all those friends.
Have fun all.


myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

I suspect that he has a pretty good idea of how things work, And how to make money from the way they work. I am just curious to find out what he knows that I don't know.

I have always wondered that as well. For me, I would think the whole idea behind wanting to add someone to your Friends list would be to get to know them by their discussions that they start here, and have them become a Big part of this site as well. For me, when I have a newer person request being a Friend of mine, a lot of times I will leave them there a couple of days to see if they will be active on here or not. If they are active, then I add them, if not, I deny them. Because I feel that if you want a Friend you have to be a Friend, and that does not mean SPAM them here either. Just my thoughts.


myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Yeah that how I found this guy, he sent me friend request and I have not answered back yet, I just want to see what he's doing w/o getting too involved.

Wow, are you kidding me? That's too many friends on here. I've been on here for a while and I don't have that many friends. You are right I just add people as I reply to their discussions or they'll add me. I couldn't imagine about having just 4 posts but 10 000 friends.

Have a wonderful day.

7. myLot reputation of 90/100. SViswan (3994)   ranked 5,700 out of 26,959 in mylot.com   2 months ago

Most of the friends on my friend list (and there's lots of them) are people I have asked to be friends with based on the discussions they started or they are people who requested me to be their friend (I'm assuming based on discussions I started). I usually accept all of them and no one except for one has spammed me. I deleted that particular profile.
There are some on my friend list who are not active anymore. I check my list from time to time and delete those who are not active.
One advantage of having many friends is more exposure to your discussions when you start them and easy to find the discusions that your friends have started without having to hunt through hundreds and thousands of junk discussions.

8. myLot reputation of 80/100. jonesy123 (2537)   ranked 5,187 out of 26,959 in mylot.com   2 months ago

Interesting. This person only posted four posts. Maybe he/she was busy making friends instead of posting. He/she might have just added on friends requests to anybody whose discussions he/she clicked on or whose replies he/she read. Alternatively, it could be an attempt at making more money here by building a downline of referrals. I have no idea how that would work though, lol.

Looks kind of fishy all in all;)

If this is the one I am thinking of, go back to his profile page and you will see that he explains exactly what he did. I am not sure I think it is legal, but well..he admits it.

His username starts with "r" and ends in "x"????


myLot reputation of 41/100. morethanamolehill (697)   ranked 852 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  2 months ago

Yeah that's him, He set up a bot to add friends automatically. I think he is just using it to drive traffic to his website. That's the name of the game online. TRAFFIC.


myLot reputation of 87/100. wilsongoddard (1591)   ranked 6,724 out of 26,959 in mylot.com  2 months ago

He sounds a lot like a guy that I know from another forum, just a different name. It is sad that some people feel the need to utilize bots and to try to cheat the system. Where is the integrity or even the fun in that?

Well he is probably sending private messages to all his "friends" to spam them and try to get them to sign up for any kind of program he is into
I dislike very much such an attitude, and even worse when they spam you publicly by leaving those messages supposedly about you but they just advetise their stuff .. that's rude!
