Are There Spies Amongst Us?

Hello 2wicelot! This is really painful that it has happened to some members. I personally don't know but I am told by some friends with evidences that there are some people who act like a police and/or a gang mentality. Someone even said that he/she will protect his/her friends' posts. I see those people's discussions staying while being equally abusive as the other opposite discussions are. These people also enjoy a privileged status here. I really wonder when I see members who vehemently state that they believe in freedom of expression yet they act in a way which belies their claims. I see people who say that they are tolerant and respectful but in the same breath they are name calling, abusing and hateful. I havent seen more intolerant people like them here. It really pains me to see such levels of hypocrisy. I think Mylot administration should be in control of what is going on here. I have seen, in the last couple of weeks, that situation is relatively better here than a little before when many people were getting banned. I don't think there should be hiding moderators from within the community. If there has to be, they should be open in public or there shouldn't be any or at least not part of the community themselves. I think I have written much and I may be banned for writing such things...No Problem:-)

I have people on my post that are scared to comment for this reason, I feel its very sad that mylott has so many guidelines that its not a discussion but a matter of what we can and cant do. I havent worked it out yet either but I have seen discussions this week were people are naming cheaters and I havent got a clue what a cheater could possibly be doing here on mylot. Its all a bit over the top. Goodluck to you 2wicelot and I hope you can keep your discussion.lol

There are a lot of people that decide that they are self appointed police and report anything that they consider to be against the rules. Some times it is justified but other times it is just them having no life and have to stir up trouble. I have several friends that have had very good topics and then some one comes in and gives a completely unconnected response and then the whole discussion gets whipped off the site.

Do you mean there are those who are playing God? Well we Christians are being accused of pushing our morals, but this is different. There are people who report anyone who disagrees with them, not just giving them the minus, but actually accusing them of not following the guidelines. Well you know that myLot will often delete that person's post because they believe that the person reporting is not doing it out of spite when she actually is. I do believe there should be a checking up, like someone who will read through the reported posts and then there should be ruling that no one should be deleted unless they did not follow the guidelines and anyone reporting falsely should be on notice and after a certain number their rating should go down or be forced to leave.

That's a good possibility. I have also been a member of other communities where they have managers to help patrol the site. We knew they were there tho and got warnings. lets hope your wrong on this one!
