A little suggestion to myLot - check the topic before being posted

Sweetie, where were you the whole time? That is the best damn idea i have heard in a long time. If that can be done, i don't have to misbehave anymore, shame, but i can live with that. It would make it easier for all of us. TATA.

And then we all have to wait days for admin to approve topics.

It's a good idea, but it'll surely introduce delays in posts. That can be problematic sometimes. They already have a tough time answering our queries... Maybe more people will leave then, getting angrier as days pass.

i also do not agree with this suggestion. if mylot will hire additional staff, just to make sure no one will be posted with violations and prevent them from posting discussions that will only be deleted after getting some or even lots of responses, they will only be reasons for our earnings to get lower or slower.

are you asking for like a moderator in every category? say every interest? well, i'm thinking just a board with very few members won't be enough. because in addition to your concern, my worried also include repetitive topics. i haven't really read about the rules in making a discussion and i had only one discussion here so far, and i remember, when i made it, being reminded of checking whether there are similar topics before posting. and oh yeah, i didn't and as a result there are a bunch of similar topics that users might have decided to ignore the question because they've already talked about it a couple of times here. that was two years ago. i'm thinking it would really be great if we're often reminded about similar topics since it will also be very helpful in creating a sound discussion. you know, so that the number of discussions with no response would lessen.

Hi Harold_ks I agree, that is a good idea. If they could provide a filter to all discussions, so right on the spot we would know if posts are either acceptable or not, or either abiding their TOS or not. I just hope they would consider this suggestion. So we all won't be wasting our time responding to posts then at the end we would find our replies deleted already. And this would teach a lesson also to the posters right away, then onwards we could expect only quality discussions. happy mylotting!you're clever.

Harold thanks thats just what I was thinking. I read one discussion herein my email thunder bird and I went into mylot to respond and wosh it was deleted already., now if they would at once after a discussion is posted check it out and delete immediately we would not even be tempted to reply if we were unsure that it had broken a rule. that way if its not on long enough to let us respond on ones we really are not sure of, we would lose no responses and earning s to the deletion process. You have a great idea, and I cannot see why it could not be enforced.

I think, as a member of mylot, we should to do our part. For me, we don't need an additional committee to check if the topic we are about to post has already been posted. It is our duty to check. Plus, everything has been laid out on the Guidelines. If everyone is following the rules and reading the guidelines, I think deleting of discussion will never happen. There will be no wasted discussion and replies ever on MyLot. My suggestion is please read the guidelines.

We can actually check before we post by doing a search to see if there is a discussion posted with a certain topic. I have done that myself, so I don't post a duplicate discussion, as to me it is just a waste of time, and it would end up getting deleted anyway, and those that would respond would lose as well as the one who started the discussion. It isn't hard to search to make sure that discussions wouldn't be4 posted already on a certain topic. It is always best to check first before posting anything, so as not to waste your time. good luck to you and happy mylotting.

So you mean to say, MyLot should create a team that will preview and review submitted posts first and have them approve the topic before they appear here? That sounds nice. I hope that will be noted well by the admin.

One vote in! I hate having discussions deleted. Aww.

yes
