Breaking myLot Discussion Guidelines

yes, i agree. you don't have much time to violate the rules for not starting discussions. but how about responding and commenting to others' discussions?

You have got a point but for that my experience will guide me. I have been with this site since 2006!

that is also one thing i do, to frequently read the rules. if not all, at least the guidelines. so we can be reminded everything we commit mistakes.

i think i did not mentioned the FAQ but only the guidelines. i think it's a bit different but related. but that's okay, at least we learned from our mistakes. i guess the only best way to earn good income here is to be perfectly active as long as you can be.

very good thinking, lakota. why bother thinking a lot of time to analyze what had happened when we can go one to the next?

we all learned from our mistakes, mysd. at least we learned. i believe you are one of the best teachers of this community, and also one of the best advisers. and i see how members take the advises you give, etc. and i am one of them. now mylot is turning into a playground?

i have no clear view of what had happened with your first account. but i believe you also learned from your mistakes. and i also believe you won't be doing anything that will cause your present, your second account from ending like your first account again.

Yes I had I done that to one of this newbie, I was just concerned that I see his discussion or I mean all of his discussion have been deleted because it is a one liner. He told me that I am not concern maybe I am just accusing him of bending the rules, i even told him to read the rules before posting but he did not reply after. Maybe he thought I am old in this forum that is why I have the right of correct him whatsoever. But for real, I am just concern so that he will lose his earnings if he keeps on doing that. Yeah it is like their impression on us is being rude. To clear it, not all newbies are like that.

just like you and the others who are what we call the old time mylotters, i too am receiving notifications of deleted answers. That's simply because we are trapped once in a while in responding to discussions with clear violations which we cannot ignore to give our reminders/comments to creator of the said discussion. I just hope they won't take our concerns negatively. Have you tried giving advise to newbies like that, and you were treated as being rude to them? Well, i was, just yesterday.

I may be a rebel, but I don't particularly want to get banned!

that's not a lot of violations dawn.

this couldn't be an issue for most of the old-time members, but for the new ones. sorry if i didn't make this one clear for you.

Ya, I am an old timer! Thats ok.

so you are probably a joker, right? well, one good thing about mylot is, we learn not only from our mistakes, but also from the people around us here. just like you have said, almost everyone came here without reading the guidelines. but people, the members here guided us to the rules, for us to realize where we committed our mistakes, and so on.

not all sites have the same terms, rules and guidelines. and yes, mylot have their own rules that we should follow.

haha well copying jokes and putting them on discussions is easiest thing you can do.. since it was allowed in yahoo answers before i joined here..they allow it now or not i dont know.. so it just didnt come to my mind hey it cud be different here

you have a very good point there, quita.

Thank you ! I just hope admin understands LOL

Maybe you missed these two line in the Guidelines? [i]'- Don't Post jokes, recipes, etc. as discussions. This is a form of abuse and all recipes and jokes will be deleted if they are started as a discussion. - Don't Start game and poll type discussions. For example, discussions like “How old are you” or “Let’s see how high we can count, I’ll start with one”[/i] http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx Quizzes and riddles are the same as games and leave little, if anything, to discuss. 'Etc,' also includes poems, limericks and many more. We should try and start a topic where there is something to discuss and not just something to resolve which requires a specific answer.

Yes I know topics that generate discussions - does not matter where the responses/comments will take you to finally

"One more response I remember was deleted was the one that reported it intentionally misunderstood it just to get sympathy from users. " I don't think a discussion would be deleted because of a misunderstanding. There must be guideline violations or possibly against ToU.

getting old or something? i go for something.

i could be a violator of the guidelines when i was new and i never read them before i started doing my regular activities, honestly. but i have learned from mistakes, just like the others.

i also feel that way, rules are rules and we should follow even if we don't agree with them.

hi marti. i also have a few semi-active referrals and i want them to know about the rules. of course, in every community, there is always a rule to follow. so everyone of us here should know about them, understand and follow them. i know i remember that discussion about your winning in the contest. i remember i was reading the discussion from my email and when i wanted to respond to it, it was already gone. i know it has been a while that we haven't communicated, talked about ourselves. and i missed that. i miss you, dear. personally, i am okay. i am getting a lot of new work loads but the salary still remains the same. our main office is having a new project and it's initially launching it, outside metro manila, with our office. i got the work of systems administrator. i am happy about that but it is just another load to my job, being the in-charge of the database, the reporting, in addition to my job as the cashier. they told us that they have already sent to the concerned agency, positions to be created for our office and other field offices under the department. it has been a long time, they said, and it is stocked at the budget department for approval. i wish to get one good position higher than what i hold at this present. my only drawback is my eligibility which is only sub-professional. i planned to take another civil service test this coming october. i failed the same text about two years ago. i need to pass this and get a professional, so i can be eligible to hold higher positions, which only means higher salary. we are going to see the doctor again this month, though we haven't scheduled the date yet. the six month medication had just ended for zayzay. i will let you know the results of the check-up then. please keep in touch. and don't get yourself too tired with your garden, though i know that is what you loved most doing.

i too will admit that i did not read the guidelines when i joined, but i cannot remember a post of mine got deleted. of course, there were those responses and comments. it's a good thing we have this guidelines and the rules always available within the site, if we commit mistakes, so we can re-read and re-assess ourselves.

i guess most of us have been to this kind of situation when we never really have the clear idea of how to follow the guidelines or we cannot fully understand it. especially us that have some difficulty in understanding and communicating with the english language.

because the discussion you have responded to violated the guidelines. i too is now very careful in responding to discussions. but i do not automatically ignore a discussion with links, i still check the link first, analyze them, before commenting.

recipes are also a big no no in a post. sorry to hear that.
