I'm Really Pi$$ed Off About This

Evil is powerful. And I am just as confused when I think about your question , because I have seen postings that had viable information taken down. Now...here's my question to you...why do you suppose that is ?

No offense pye but that discussion to me is not different then the abortion discussion that are on here. People talk about killing babies constantly but they don't have their discussions deleted so to have his deleted would be a double standard now wouldn't it. I don't agree with killing cats but he's intitled to his own opinion and ways. If you don't agree with his topic simply avoid it, but to go around trying to censor what others say and think to me seems a bit wrong and prudish.

Well I am certainly glad that I did NOT read the discussion!! That's outrageous!!! And like you I can't believe they've left it on here!

Yes, it's pretty sick and the poster probably posted it just to get responses to make money. the best way to deal with this kind of post and poster is to simply NOT respond to it!

Pyewacket I do not know why they let one discussion stay and others go. I am sorry you ran across this discussion because it upset you so much. I am with you if this guy is killing cats they who is next?

hi pye .i havent read that post yet about the cats,but i will.who knows what goes on sometimes with mylot.they delete birthday wishes,but still keep a post about killing cats,i can not work that one out,yes definately poor taste.i would be pee--ed off also.cheers sue

I really don't know what is up with that post. I didn't realize that it was still here. I had reported it as well. That user is either a moron OR someone who needs to be locked up for mental instability. I don't know why the posers get to stay on and other people get banned or have compliant discussion deleted. I was hoping that the whole Crash discussion would shed a better light on that, but he really did not.

It makes me question Mr Crash and his bubbled responds. I don't get this. Either Mr Crash is just another hacker, or Mylot owners really don't care.

ya got me on this one I have no idea and I havent read this post at all guess I am lucky!

I actually have never had a discussion deleted or known anyone who did, so I'm wondering why they delete any discussions at all. It seems like only vulgar discussions should be deleted, and it should be well defined what is considered vulgar. I know mylot has the right to do whatever they want, but I don't get why they can't at least explain to people why a discussion was deleted. I know other websites I've been too where the owners did whatever they wanted and deleted things or changed things, but they would never say why always acting like it was confidential or something. Just seems like a lot of website owners do things like that for no reason and don't care to explain b/c they know they had no good reason.

Can you send me the discussion so I can read it and send mylot my opinion on this. I stand with you on this Pye! This is an outrage. This is not the place for such sick topics as killing animals, I definitely will speak up about this.

There are plenty of animal lovers, and I would have to guess that there are some animal haters as well. There have been many discussions about bad discussion fodder or improper discussion fodder. I find that the answers are invariably the same.....if the person agrees with the discussion then people that don't and say so could just pass over the discussion rather than getting bent out of shape....and if the discussion is offensive then the discussion should be deleted. We should be practicing what we preach, because this is a large community and many different opinions out there some of which we are bound to not agree with. If a discussion does not violate the guidelines then it has every right to remain whether anyone finds it offensive or not. This is a discussion forum and if you find something offensive you can say so but that does not necessarily mean it is worthy of deletion.

I didn't look for the post - I don't want to see it - but I'm guessing the reason why it remains is because the "powers that be" of MyLot are LAZY!!!

Just my opinion....it probably still remains here because it does not go into brutal details as I am sure he could have. All it does is state that he did it. He has that right to say that. Lashing out on him about will he kill a person next is not very nice. There are many people in the world that have killed nothing in their lives but will go out and kill a person just because they felt like it. Maybe you should respond again to that article and approach it in a better manner. The out come may be good. Good luck to you and I am not taking up for who this is, just seeing his rights.

Being a dog lover, more than a cat lover, I cannot comment on your outrage at someone throwing a rock at a cat, but I can at discussions being deleted. There was one about this member who started sobbing when reading something, and that was deleted probably because someone was so stupid enough to put in a referral link. However we cannot refuse certain subjects or certain people from writing. You see, someone might want to refuse you or me and besides wouldn't you want to know about those type of evil people who kill and maim animals and people because to be warned is to be forearmed?

This is the stuff I don't understand, a posted discussion about killing an animal is still not removed even after it's been reported by several people. Their response will be that they are busy and when they get around to it, it will be removed - this is the reason why mylot should have a "flagging system" similar to Craigslist so if a discussion is offensive or against policy rules we can flag it and it will be automatically deleted.

Well, there is injustice around sometimes but it is very less. According to the discussion you mentioned, can you give the link please. It was all so horrible to hear about such things and people then accepting there worng doing which is very bad and unethinical. Plus, report that user and try to share him/her with us so that we might report him/her too.

Hi and thanks again for helping me get the annoying music off my site. If I had waited for Mylot to respond it would still be there. I am thankful for caring friends like you...always so willing to lend a helping hand. Anyway, on to the topic. I did not see the discussion in question here...but it sounds vile. I checked out the question and answer post from Crash and noticed he did a nice job of spinning things without coming up with a direct answer to your question on how they decide what is deleted. That seemed odd to me. However, Mylot does says they intend to honor the right of free speech...although how and why they delete topics is as unclear to me as it is to you and others who question it. The way you described this guy I cannot help but wonder it he posted the discussion to create earnings by having a lot of responses on his site. Crash did say that as long as topics do not violate guidelines they will not delete topics. Maybe poor taste does not fall under that category. Having said all this I am still in agreement that discussions about animal abuses are something I do not like to read about. Perhaps the best way to handle a guy like this is for all animal lovers to avoid the topic. With zero responses maybe he would get the idea that no one wants to involve themselves in what he is offering. Conflict always takes two or more people. If there is no one to engage with there is no way to inflame things...but that is just my perspective. I do admire and respect your activism and being the voice for all the furry, feathered, winged and finned ones who cannot speak for themselves. Keep up your good work Pyewacket...you have a legion of supporters and I am one of them. Hugs and blessings, Raia

It remains here because the person who started the discussion didn't break any rules. If you read the guidelines you will see that you are allowed to write just about anything you want as long as it doesn't break the rules. Also if you reported it as abuse, you shouldn't have responded to it. I'm sure mylot has taken that into consideration when they checked it out. Why would people report something as abuse and then go ahead and respond to it? If you read crash's questions and answers you would have read a discussion about this exact thing and then you would know what determines an abuse discussion. Everyone has a right to post what they want here, as long as it doesn't break any rules.

I remember seeing the discussion you are on about, it made me really angry and upset. I mean even if that was not true, what on earth possesses someone to write something like that anyway. I thought it would have been taken off to be perfectly honest, it was in very poor taste and totally disrespects others and in a sense makes a mockery of a place like this and people who like to come on here and have proper discussions and things.
