I see that people here can be more than childish. I ask if people report rude posts. Guess someone decided that they would not reply for fear of being reported; so instead they added tags like "7th grade", "lame post" and other things as their way of being rude.
Well to those people I have one thing to say "GROW UP". If you have something to say, then say it, don't sabotage people's tags.
People can comment if they want but no one has to.

Wow.. talk about immaturity. Don't let that get on you though, there are bad seeds in every garden. I did see and read your other discussion and I agree. I myself have never reported anything but maybe I should start doing so in discussions that are clearly breaking the rules. Whoever did that just wanted to be rude since your discussion was against rudeness - nothing to take to heart.

I went back to your discussion, read every response again, checked the tags and there is nothing there such as you described. Did you request myLot to remove them?

Now I have learned something new. I went into your profile and checked the list of discussions you have opened and I could see them on the list BUt if you open the discussion they are not listed on the actual discussion. Definitely strange. Why is that I wonder.????

BTW they have also added these tags to this discussion. Again they can only be seen on your profile list.

being here for many months now, i have encountered lots and lots of good people. and sad but true, there are rude ones, too. i think we can't wipe then out from here. there are everywhere but i hope they will atleast calm down and be cool somehow.
we can always speak what is in our minds politely. there's no need to be rude or be judgmental. i wonder why people love to be rude. maybe to show that they fear noone or that they are confident than us.
what i know is that we are all free to speak out our minds here... but accompany it with much responsibility, too.

That is rather childish! What would be the point in that? Mylot unfortunately is a worldwide popularity contest and alot of people just want to see others fail where they have to make themselves feel big and clever again, I don't think alot of people really understand the concept of tags though, Some start a discussion about some random comment and tag it my mylot interest or something... bizarre, Keep ya chin up! These childish people probably don't even make $2 a month as their posts are most probably deleted! Happy mylotting! Fee x

That's a darn good question. Must have been sheep in wolf's clothing. Posting something positive and then addin the tags.
Thanks

Thanks not that it matters. They got the discussion deleted even though it was completely within the guidelines.

Wow! Some folks need to take a chill pill and enjoy their time here on mylot. I didn't see anything wrong with the discussion that you started on rude people, at all ! It was an innocent question because of an encounter that you'd had. Sounds to me like the anonymous tagger in question has a guilty conscious.

I agree with you honey. But, a lot of people are childish. Some are really under age here, or just have the maturity of a child. Don't let it get to you though. Pass them bye, and go to the next. Blessings sugar, M&M

Yes, even I have noticed some odd tags being added. Hope they do grow up soon.

Lol, they write things like 7th grade and don't realize that they're acting exactly like the things they wrote? How ridiculous!
I hate when people add tags without having the courage to actually say something. I really think that this shouldn't be an option. If people want to add tags, then they should have to respond first.
Sabotaging other peoples tags is just downright childish, not to mention rude.

That's really strange! I would be irritated about that too. Sorry they hijacked your tags like that. Just remember they are the ones acting like babies-not you!

I agree, some of the replies I've been getting lately to my point of view definitely have me asking and what is wrong with these people? Conversation and discussions are supposed to be a two way street but here if you have a different point of view it seems you just slammed for having it. I'm glad real life isn't this way.

i agree with you, some people can be immature. i guess you were right, they were obviously too gutless to answer with their honest thoughts.

I have had this happen to another friend here. From various discussions, I have been told that to keep people from messing with your tags you should either post five, or post ten. I do not know which to believe. I guess I should look at the tags on mine, as they could be doing it to me as well. I do report rude posts, and rate them - as well. I do not have to do it very often. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong discussions. I report rude posts on my discussions, and on your discussions, or anyone else's that I see. I do not want people like that posting on here.

In my opinion, some adults often behave more childish than children. I am so tired of dealing with such people. There are many people who are insecure, too sensitive, selfish, and childish.

SO LAME! I'm sorry. Yeah some people on here could be way old but they act like kids. Its the way they act and talk and make up discussions. I dont like them. I dont even reply anymore for fear of being beated up with words that arent great. So yeah I hate that and I'm sorry they came after you.

People can be such buttcakes, can't they? Sometimes people make me want to just smack them, and there's no reason to feel like that here. No need at all!
