I feel like a fool. I started a discussion this afternoon hoping to get something going, and then I got in touch with Presidential Canditate Barak Obama on Gather to let him know about it, hoping to get his campaign more exposure, and tonight when I came back to check on it it was gone!!!! Yes I put some information about Gather in there, but it was a sidebar to the origional discussion about Barak Obama campaigning on line. What's MyLot's problem?

No need to feel like a fool you are now a member of the " Why the hell was it deleted club". We have many members in our large group! LOL. I am quite surprised they let this go through although just using the word "gather" could be used in a multitude of ways. Did you give the actual link to the website? I can't remember, I do remember the discussion and did not see anything wrong with it.

Yeah I included a link to Barak Obama's page, and made a response that would probably encourage him to hie me as his campaign manager!!! LOL Those MyLot idiots deleted it!!!! AARRGGHH.

That's really strange! There are all sorts of political discussions on this site and news stories, so I don't know why they wouldn't want to ride the wave of presidential debating...most other sites are very interested in the upcoming presidential race. I noticed that Helium has a special section, the candidates are all on MySpace and FaceBook. I am surprised that more candidates are not on Gather! I am from Illinois and like Obama very much. It'll be difficult to choose among the Democratic candidates this time...I like all of the 3 front runners for different reasons.

I am somewhere between Barak Obama and Ron Paul. I know what you mean about different people for different reasons. I think it's wonderful how they are all getting in on the action by joining "the common people" on these sites. Some people think it's pandering, but I think it's wonderful. Thanks for weighing in with your opinion.

I suspect, more than anything, it was because your post might have attracted traffic to Gather, thus potentially driving it away from MyLot. I know there have been other posts that people have made about sites that have similarities to MyLot that have mysteriously disappeared...

That's really too bad! I would have liked to be a part of that discussion. DO you think you broke the rules in any way? I never saw the discussion, but I would have liked to...

I did not see anything wrong with it. I have seen a lot of discussions being removed and for reasons that are not obvious to me.

What is not the myLot adm problem honey. I honestly dont think they know what they are doing themself, they are just seen as having to do something, and they just hit randomly.
I myself have had a few discussions deleted as quiet a few responses, and it pisses me of too. Why cant they just provide us with a block feature on here and leave to us to decide what we want here or not? I think i might go on a crusade here, lol. :)
