Discussions in Violation

Thank you for this post, derlila! And to mys and others who responded. I didn't really understand the importance until now. Honestly, I didn't think about it enough, because I didn't feel qualified, as a newbie, to make that kind of judgment call. I worry that I will report something based on an incorrect assumption. I also have noticed that some long time lotters post things that are in violation of the rules and then get upset because they were reported and deleted. I understand some of their reasons, but if they don't play by the rules, I don't know how newer ones are going to respect them. I think some of the rules should be clarified or not necessarily relaxed but if a special request is made to admininstration to post a special request, it might help. Or, special requests are made only after a myLotter has reached a certain status. And on the matter of rules. I notice that many skirt the rules about profanity. Putting two vowels in or a couple of ** where the letters would be. It may not be a direct violation, but I think it is toeing the line. See why I don't feel confident?

Yes, it is definitely an eye-sore seeing all these spammers trying to promote their referral links. I get especially fed up when trying to look for new discussions and most of them are just spams. I love to help new users get themselves acquainted to mylot and will try to answer the best I can. And it's not helping; sometimes I see the same type of discussions over and over again seemingly from the same user. Same or not, I still see it as spam. Not all newbies are like that though, some are very honest, sincere and can truly feel the spirit of mylot. Even though they are pointed out to the FAQs, some spammers just make it a point to keep asking the same questions that I feel they already know. Cheap tactic, I'd say. However, I welcome those mylot members whom are new and wanting to participate sincerely. Hope these phishing will stop. I know it's hard but we'll die trying..

I don't report, I just don't respond. If no one responds, they will stop posting. It is very simple and stress free... I rather pay attention on good discussions not the bad ones.... Take care...

Compared to a year ago there are many many more but compared to a month ago they seem the same amount. I feel that those spammers are the same ones who come back time after time. I report anything I see and every few hours I go to the money intersts and report there too, sometimes whole pages of garbage It is time consuming but it is for the benefit of everyone. Sad that some don't understand this

I am a new commer to mylot and I too like my time in here. I respond to good discussions only and you are right there aren't really any good discussions posted lately. There are a few people who do post interesting discussions but the majority are useless. They should know that such discussions are of no use as they wont get paid and can be removed from mylot. I didn't report anyone of them yet but I think the next time I see such a topic, I will.

Because there are so many on Mylot, it's hard to keep up with what has been said and what hasn't been asked. Let Mylot do their job, and have fun writing in.

I will also report spammers. I've done this several times. If they just bother me one time I may not but if it is twice or more then I certainly will report them. As for others that break the guidelines I don't report them. This is a site for socializing as much as anything else. Sometimes emotions run high and we just need someone to talk to. Many of us and I'm one of them are alone 90 percent or more of the time and the friends we have here are the only ones we have to talk to. I excuse times when it is a case as this. I'm human and have feelings after all... I know how I would feel if I needed to really talk and get out what was on my mind and if someone reported my discussion and got it out then I would be upset. When emotions are running high we don't always remember to add that question to make it a discussion, others reply anyway and it makes it a discussion reguardless of how it came about. There are a few lately that have been deleted that was really not necessary to have them deleted as they turned out to be highly talked about threaded discussions and that is what we are about here. So I pick and choose my battles.

I've been here for three years and in that time have seen my share of those mylotters, usually newbies chock full of violations especially with referral links to some money making scheme and yes I do report them..also the plagiarizers and seen my share of them as well so yes, report them as well. I also report those who only leave a one word response to no matter what the discussion is about, like "cool" "good" and will notice the member does that in all his/her responses--but no, the violators of the guidelines are no more or less over the years

I just relax and enjoy! Never let another discussion bother your day. So what if they are in violation, Who cares? Even myLot is easy with it. I'm not about to let something as small as someone elses discussion bother my Day! I'd not even dream about reporting a violation. I can see the humor in it. Why let it bother you?

no, i try to tend to my own buisness. wish everybody did. i never did like tattletails.

As far as the guide lines go on here it seems a lot of people break those or dont even read them and usually the only people who moan about the guide lines are the ones who have broke the rules and got reported or the ones who want to break the rule and dont.I am on mylot to have fun like most other people so as long as im having fun and not breaking rules i do not care what anyone else is up to.I mean no one has got to come on here if they dont want to and mylot are thje ones who at the end of the day read ALL the discussions placed on here.So at the end of the day mylot will delete their posts,so why worry.Life is too short to be worrying what everyone else is doing.

I want to comment regarding posting the same message twice in the same discussion. I have done that before in on of the previous post..it's merely unintentional because sometimes internet really not working fine.And it will not also say or ask for the tag so I assume that it's not posted yet then I posted it again then it turns out that there! are my post
