Now What????

It seems at this time of the month discussions are more likely to be zapped....LOL...and for no reason

I can understand why some discussions do get deleted, but like I said I read the guidelines and I didn't violate anything. Sheesh

Urgh..Politics..I refuse to get into that whole arena in the first place here....I can tell who are the die hard Obama supporters and who are the die hard McCain ones..so I leave it alone ESPECIALLY with friends of mine.

Ah,yes it's that time of the month again here...wonder if someone here suffers from PMS...LOL Maybe that could explain discussions deleting for no rhyme or reason

You have me rolling up Pye ..yes you could well be right about that..PMS sounds a good reason for doing all the deleting..especially as its so regular each month!! bb littleowl

That would make too much sense...

Unfortunately in all the time I've been here one isn't given a reason why discussions are deleted especially if they clearly are not violating anything.

I must have the all time Guinness Record for fastest discussion to be deleted...it was only up for an hour.

I am glad you put it up I have the message save din my in box. If you want PM your link and I will join Ciao under you. I REALLY need cash.

Well that's a sucky attitude to help, especially as I was just trying to give another lead to making some extra money and I didn't leave a referral link

Sorry you feel like crap Howard...lets just say my one discussion could probably qualify for the fastest discussion to be deleted..it was only up for about an hour. I emailed you and explained what happened

Ah ha! That's it!

just to add .. has anyone seen a reversal, ie a post that was deleted then appealed against and re-posted?

thanks razcal, that question's been bugging me for ages!

That might not be a bad idea about making sort of a copy of one's discussion...better yet I could store a copy/paste of it into my email, send it to myself..LOL..but would still have a copy of it.

I don't understand things either Hatley...sheesh I was only trying to give a lead especially to fellow writers of another great place to write that pays ... jerzgirl...you're right...I've seen tons of discussions about people bragging about how much they earn here, there and everywhere...and they don't get deleted. I wasn't bragging..I did mention as a by and by what I've earned at the other place but it wasn't the main focus.

I'm beginning to believe that there are some people who are targeted by others looking for a reason to take them down. All the others who post referral links and evidence of payout, etc, that we know day by day are ignored aren't in their sights yet. Just certain people. It's like school tattletales who are always watching people so they can tell on them - and often they go after the ones they have a beef with. Nine times out of ten, though, it's jealousy more than anything else.

I've seen plenty of people talk about other sites and if they want further info to PM or email them or if they have a link on their profile to go there....I thought that was acceptable...

Still makes no rhyme or reason...and yes, did get your email. Since everyone, but everyone is looking for ways to make extra money I would think we would help each other out rather than having petty jealousies that we might be "stealing" people away from each other...how absurd and childlike

It is, and yet.... If the dividing line between "see my profile for a profile link" or "PM me for a profile link" and a give and take discussion is blurry, they might take issue with it. Yet, for the most part, we all know they don't read each and every discussion we post. Someone somewhere has to report them, and report them in sufficient numbers that they do something. And, even then, I don't think they read them - they often delete perfectly good discussions, which I thought yours was, simply because they've received complaints. I still think it's an auto-delete program where if they receive complaints from "x" numbers of different members, the discussion is deleted, even if no one sees it. I can't imagine myLot admin being up 24/7, unless they've got mass quantities of moderators capable of perusing literally hundreds of thousands of discussions, responses and comments every day. That is why I'm leaning more towards an orchestrated and targeted attack against anyone saying anything about a site they've found that makes money. All that takes is a handful of people with irregular hours keeping tabs on the money making interests to make sure no one but them can make use of myLot as a referral treasure trove. As far fetched as that sounds, there are countries who participate where a few myLot dollars goes a long way compared to where we live. It's not impossible. When you see what I sent you, you'll see why I'm thinking this.

Or maybe stick to fluff discussions such as do you like Pepsi or Coke,...LOL

Hi pye, Yes, or how many pillows do you sleep on? Bright Blessings Tamara

Sucks, doesn't it..LOL

lol will get to that email soon I hope lol

Yes and I just emailed you..LOL

someone suggested here that maybe since I did put it under the making money interest that they didn't want the competition..that maybe I was "stealing" potential friends of theirs who are friends of mine from here joining up...but isn't that the whole purpose of having such an interest group..to help others out here to maybe earn extra money...can't figure it out.

Yes, I've seen scores of discussions here not much different and they haven't been deleted either.

Yes it would be great if we were told why discussions were deleted especially ones that weren't in violation of rules

It's not so much the mylot system that checks for discussions that may not be suitable, but the trolls here for some reason deem the discussion unsuitable...if a discussion is reported at least three times (usually by disgruntle members for whatever reason) it automatically gets zapped without it being investigated into by the admin. This wasn't a little loss though, my discussion was reaching out to help people here.
