Thanks myLot!

I had one of my discussions deleted last week, I couldn't understand it. The discussion was just about" what does the stars mean next to your name", I didn't get a lot of replys and I didn't upset anyone so I couldn't understand it. My husband said that probably someone had put a link on, so they took it off, thats really unfar, now I no lots of people go through this

if it has happened to me i didn't know it but i start very few discussions.

I haven't experienced such kind of stuff yet... anyways, it's good to be back here in mylot. it's been several months already that I didn't log in...what's new? I noticed that the site's layout has been changed...

It was yesterday or the day before, I got three responses from the idiot on two different discussions. I reported them and I assume their responses were deleted but I didn't actually go back and check. the discussions are still there. Hooray!

hello,i beg that why do you delete it become the spammers? everything can be disscuessed in my lotters,so whether you like or not ,is ok,maybe when you anouce it,them you hate it ,but maybe someone who will like it,we can share the others idea on it,if you r not carefully to through it out ,i am sorry to hear that .

Thanks mylot!

I had someone spam one of my earlier discussions and I was quite incensed about it, it had absolutely nothing to do with my discussion and like your discussion it was a referral link, so I reported it and low behold the response and NOT the discussion was deleted! So when I read that you were worried I thought, no they wouldn't just pull a discussion, it didn't make sense, what if a spammer kept doing that? That would mean they could destroy any discussion at will! So it makes sense really, I didn't want to say much, although as I stated I was 90% sure this would be the case. So all's well that ends well! Just shows that spammers are not wanted and will NOT be tolerated here, we all want a clean site. Glad to see they acted promptly my friend ;0)

Oh! I never had any idea that there are spammers in here. I thought there are just few who are not pleased with our discussions due to racial or cultural or opinion differences. Now that you have started a discussion about this, I would be more cautious this time and report it to Mylot just in case I will encounter one. Perhaps, am just giving no so much attention and prefer to ignore it that is why I know nothing. By the way, thanks for this topic. Well, I had this discussion before and a respondent gave me a provocative reply, but I ignored it. After then, I knew someone made or gave me a negative rate for unknown reason. At first, I get affected with it, but ignored it afterwards because I can't do nothing about it because I have no idea who he/she was. Until, I have to cross discussions each day with similar topics like yours. I think, Mylot is doing its job and making investigations about these or those who are trying to wreck this site or anyone here. I just hope spammers would stop.

Yes.I have similar experience.I guy was spamming with some promotional link on every new discussion posted at mylot.He spammed my discussions too.At the end mylot removed all his responses and blocked his account.No discussions was deleted

Yes often. I report just the one response and only the one response gets deleted (unless the whole discussion is a violation of course). Those who get their entire discussion removed is never because of just one response in violation of the rules but because the discussion itself is a violation.

Hi Humbug..I dont know if I have ever had any of my discussions spammed but have just opened my emails and had one saying 'mylot unsubscribe' that I believe is coming from a hacker or troll so am going to report it to mylot, infact I am even hesitant to open the email as pyewacket made a discussion about it yesterday..if you have any advice I would appreciate it...hugs littleowl

I am pleased that the discussion survived Humbug. I have had discussions spammed. I don't think that I have ever had one deleted because of a spammer, but I have had them deleted.

I have you and another myLotter to thank for reporting a spammer on one of my recent discussions ! My discussion was not deleted either. Thank you myLot!!! Thanks, Humbug and friend!

Hello humbug25! Wow! You're very lucky. It's so nice that mylot considers your discussion and just delete the spammers. I thought that if one responder will violate the discussion, the discussion will eventually deleted. I never tried to be spammed yet (I hope never) and I have no discussion who got deleted because of spammer.

Good thing for me, I haven't had that experience as per my recollection. It appears to me that mylot is listening to the suggestions of it's members. I remember one discussion that dealt with that. That if ever there are respondents to a legitimate discussion that's causing the discussion to be a spam or violating rules, to just delete the response instead of deleting the whole discussion, which affects the income of the author that started the legitimate discussion. I, too, would like to thank mylot for being open to suggestions.

I don't remember if I ever had any. I just recently returned to mylot again so if I lost any old discussion I wouldn't have known. but I thought that's what mylot did. If people report the spammer's response, not the whole discussion, I don't think mylot will delete the whole discussion. Some people probably have reported the whole discussion, so mylot removed it entirely, whereas they supposed to hit report button on the spammer's response only. Not sure if mylot read before they delete anything, but they might not have time to read all discussions that have been reported since trolls also reported discussions for their own advantage.

Hey there, humbug25, and no is far as I know none of my discussions have been deleted for spammers, but I'm glad that your topic was not deleted it wouldnt be fair, if they deleted your topic over something someone else did, but it was kind of mylot to keep the topic.

oh,,i donot know much about that,i have never checked them before,,and i donot want to checked...perhaps there are a lot of ting like what you said on my mylot,,but i will try my best to avoid them..just for myself.. and you did a good job,,come you are the big time now,, congrats,,wish yo ua good time on mylot with a lot of gain

Good thing you didn't have your discussion removed, cause that would've been really lousy of them. personally I've had only 2 discussions, and neither of them got spammed, I think the discussions that get spammed are the popular ones. althought I've never come across a spammer here on mylot. Happy mylotting

Wow, I'm new to myLot and I was worried about something like that. Because if your discussion is deleted then there's no way you could make any earnings off of your posts. I really like the way myLot handles the situation with spammers. Thanks for letting everyone know.
