Why do you think people post links in discussions when against guidelines?

this is an easy question realy because even if admin remove the link as soon as they post it ppl are still gona c it before its removed so ppl will still sign up with there offers

I did not know!I think i'm on my way to read the whole guidelines,i'm new here and should have been one of the first things i did....thank you for bringing this to my attention,altho i think i have only done it one time,thats too many....Thanks...have a Beautiful day

Really? I'm one of those that didn't know.. I've mostly posted links on responses I give out whenever a certain discussion is asking for some help and I would often just give the link that would at least answer his or her inquiry.. I will try to avoid that from now on. Thank you.. though I could've read it in the guidelines after all

i thought that was the point ,when you reach 500 posts,to be able to copy/paste links ??

hi kiran1978, I think the guidelines "DO" section allowed us to post links to support some evidence or explanation about what we talked within the post / response (that's what I conclude from the guidelines I read just now), for example if we mentioned about some news outside and we wanted to post the proof that the news really talked like that, I think the only thing we could do was by providing the link to the original article in the news site (rather than copy-pasting the whole article which would really break the term / guidelines). however, if the links were referral links or promoting something or for hijacking the discussion, that would not be allowed for sure. and yes, it would cause the post being deleted. yes, I also found some irritating people who responded some discussions and posted their own promotional / referral links within the response. well, surely myLot will have the members reported these irritation as well.

Yes, it's very frustrating, especially if you've posted a nice response and the whole discussion gets deleted simply because ONE person posts a link! It's not fair. Only their response ought to be deleted. Ther eis one exception, of course, if they START the discussion, the whole discussion should be deleted, btu I wouldn't usually post in such a discussion anyway for fear it would get removed. I think some people are just so focused on getting referrals for certain programs that maybe they become selfish. Some others may not care much for this program and use MyLot to spam their links. Who knows? It is so easy to talk about a program and simply ask people who are interested to contact you, rather than spam the link! I would think more people would do that. It would take a little more effort, but at least everyone who contacts you would be interested and not just some inactive participant...

my dear friend, please bear on mind that i don't want to offense anyone in here. from my opinion, put discussion link within a discussion still acceptable as long as the purpose to put those discussion link to show some evidence and not have purpose to ask anyone to response the discussion in those link. and honestly, its helping me when my friends response my discussion and asked me the discussion that she already made to answer my discussion. sometimes, i also provided my link discussion to support my another discussion and there is no intention to change link discussion or something like that have good day, for you dear

Very good point Kiran well i was not aware and fortunately i never posted link other then of my lot, LOl but one of friend mithra was deleted from Mylot and she dont knoe why it happened to her?? and here people are voilating rules and they are getting paid I dont know why

I think that maybe they might be like me and do not read the dos and donts!! I have never posted links but neither have I read the guidelines properly, so I probably do a few things wrong from time to time. Best check those guidelines out a bit more thoroughly while I remember I will do that in a min!! Have a nice day kiran1978.

Hi Kiran Actually, links in posts ARE permitted. If you check the guidelines you will see under the list of "DO's" Bullet point 7 - Make sure to post USEFUL links in discussions when necessary to provide authoritative guidelines or to refer to a third party article. Under "DON'Ts" Bullet point 6 - Don't post copyrighted articles or photos please link to them. DON'T post copyrighted photos at all. Bullet point 15 - Don't post any links promoting AFFILIATE programs or that do not pertain to the discussion. Posting the same link over and over or posting links that have no relevance to the discussion is NOT ALLOWED. So it is permissible to post links in discussions as long as they are appropriate, add meaning to the discussion and are NOT affiliate links

Darling maybe you need to read again the discussion guidelines... you will see there the do's and dont's on putting link on your post... Don't you appreciate the link that may help you to believe regarding the issue that you tackle.. if you think that you encounter link that are not useful nor nothing to say really regarding the issue, you may report it to the admin...
