Explanation about discussion violated guidelines by the admin

de_toya, when you say "Currently, mylot admin only explain that the discussion being deleted due to guidelines violation..." are you talking about the page you see when you arrive at a discussion that has been deleted? We send deletion notifications for each and every discussion that is removed. That way the person who started the discussion knows why the discussion was deleted. I can understand why you'd want the guidelines to be numbered but there is more to it than that. Discussions, responses, images, tasks, etc. can be deleted for reasons other than what's in the guidelines. We'd have to also include the FAQs or Terms of Use in your numbering system. Any time we want to make a change to the guidelines, FAQs, or Terms there would be a possibility that everything would have to be renumbered, and anything that contains any kind of link (HTML, database, etc.) would have to be checked and reprogrammed. Your idea is sound, but the execution could be trouble. Does that make sense?

I only have one discussion deleted directly, its about why fewer members are active in weekend. I don't know why. Maybe we are not allowed to discussion myLot in myLot? The logic is strange. But my another discussion about myLot reputation was considered legal. I'm really confused. And also many my response were deleted because of the discussions they were under got deleted, some of the delete reason were obvious, but some were really weird. So I appreciate your suggestion very much, I hope it can be accepted.

By reading the guidelines it becomes apparent where, you have made your mistake. I often have to refer back , its all there. Numbers would be nice like a rating system of offense . Though most can tell by referring back .

Would be nice, might be difficult to execute. I volunteer to test it. lol

well ya i think you have got the point. they should particularly mention the clear cut reason of doing that.. why don't you step forward and tell the admin about it. it will help to improve mylot..

I cross my fingers : I had no discussion deleted for the moment... but many responses. Sometimes it is obvious that a discussion will be deleted, and sometimes not : receiving only a notification saying that "Your answer has been deleted because the question it was under was deleted" is not satisfying. Generally it is probably because the discussion was a duplicate, but it would be nice to know. Your proposition has a double interest : for the starter of the discussion and for those who gave a response. If it is a reference to a rule, it is easy to send it also to everyone involved in the discussion.

well I think it's a great idea. They can have a list of violations and tick the one we violate and let us know it clearly. It will not consume much of admin's time and I think it's quite possible to implement this suggestion made by de_toya. It's a very useful discussion.

de toya I still think if we all really read the guidelines carefully and follow them we will not make discussions that are deleted. why not do what you suggested for yourself. either make each no no into a numbered rule on a notepad or better yet, copy them onto a sort of cheatsheet on your own computer, as writing them and numbering them like that will help you to remember them. I don't think my lot will go to that trouble as they want us all to really just read them and heed them. as for people here making a lot of reports you forget a real live admins will read all our reports and then decide for herself which really are rule breakers or if the reporter is simply out to harm someone here. these admins people are very intelligent so trust them ' not to delete anything on any mylotters say so.

SO this means that if I responded to a discussion started that has violated mylot, it will be disregarded too? hmmm... I have made lots of those.

Hi ! I don't think that it will be necessary. It is our responsibility to read, understand and abide by the guidelines. If we have a doubt, we can just contact the admin, and they just contact us immediately. Besides, it has to be hard for the admin to number each violation. Cheers :)
