i was typing this response to a discussion here just now... my response was long and i was really thinking on everything that i had typed there.. it took more more than 5 minutes i think before i was able to really finish the response, and when i hit submit... boink... it says the discussion has already been deleted because of violation of the tos...
i know this discussion is non-sense i just want to share and ask...

Yep, it's happened to a lot of us! Usually when composing a withering retort to some obnoxious post, but admin beats us to the punch and deletes the offending comment/discussion before our reply can post to it.
I've also composed long thoughtful posts only to have mylot crash when I try to submit it, VERY frustrating.

AngryKityMSV,
Try composing your myLot posts in a word processor and save them before posting. Cut and paste them into myLot. Once in a great while I do this. It also allows one to use spell check.

Yes! Often when I'm responding back to someone who is in disagreement with something I have pointed out I find the discussion has since disappeared - and usually for the very reason that I was trying to get across in the first place It can be very annoying but it has happened somany times now that Ijust think 'you should've known better lass'

no it has not happened to me but sometimes i have noticed that when i have been typing the discussion it suddenly goes back to the discussion page and my response is gone and i need to type it all again and this has happened several times to me. i know it is really boring to type the same response again and when this kind of things happen it is really annoying as our energy is wasted and we need o retype it again.

yes, it has happened to me many times already. sometimes i typed it again, like 2 or 3 times depends on how i want to post my response in that discussion. but at other times i dont bother typing again, i just move on to the next discussion. it does get annoying sometimes when it happens.
and yes you are right, energy wasted

ROFL!!! Ha h ha ha ha
It can't be more funny than it. So, what did you do after finding that the discussion is already deleted? I am sure you were confused that whether to cry or laugh.
Very very funny. Hasn't happened with me till now and to tell you the truth, you are the first one to face that...
LOL, can't find a way to stop laughting.

yep, i think it was funny afterwards... it reminded me of some part in tv shows or movies, where the wife just talk and talk thinking her husband was listening but when she looks at her husband after all that talking, her husband is already asleep...
i wasn't confused, i just went blank - like huh? then laugh afterwards... lol... then i went on to start this discussion right away... hahaha, that way the response that was lost has still served its purpose... lol

first time i am not agree with you. no, it is not 'non-sense'..i appreciate it. second one, congratulations, you think of everything. you good responder, you do that exactly right. i read in another discussion, someone argue that he/she have got bad or not enjoyable respond. i think your respond is always nice because you need more than five minutes before hit post response

Agree !
I like to look through various discussions in mylot. which widen my minds on others in different countries: what their feeling,what their hobby,what their daily life,and so on. Why not say your discussion is non-sense ? We are all human, live different area in common earth, having some or various daily life or feeling.
Do you know, every time , I read the new discussions with happy, though the thing you talk about is slight.

Hi there jayrene, stopping by before I go home from work...lol. No I have not experienced this before, I have sometimes got an messages that my typing have something that is violated to the terms, but never had the response deleted. I got a chance to change what was wrong in the typing.
Perhaps you should try again, and not make the response so long and you might have chance to see what was wrong in the messages....

I have never had a discussion deleted before I could respond to it. However, I have typed out long thought out replies to a discussion and when I try to submit my reply something goes wrong in the computer and I lose it. I started copying my replies before submitting that way if I lost what I wrote I could just copy and paste. lol.

I have had this happen. At least it was done before you got money for it and then got it taken away. It was still a waste of time though and it stinks. Have a blessed day.

It never happened to me! That was a waste of 5 minutes. I'm just laughing now because YOU laughed about it :P I think I would have been really frustrated if it happened to me. Also, I don't think I'm online on myLOT DURING the clean up. I often just find out that things were deleted the next time I log in. Or maybe I just never notice it :)
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

yep i was a wasted 5 minutes plus of typing emotionally...
so i made this discussion and finished typing the post in less than 1 minute.... the response that was lost has still served it's purpose...
===========
your welcome, it's why i am here for, to respond to discussions even though something like this will happen (now i know)... glad it never happened to the response i posted in your discussion because that was a really really really long response i had posted there, and i would probably hit my head on the wall, if that got lost...
