Is it necessary to warn others?

If I want to respond, I do so. I appreciate the warnings. Sometimes I have to warn myself because people are not aware that their discussions may be deleted. Sometimes I like the topic so well, or the person, that I will respond, regardless of the consequences.

only say a couple but like you I respond to give my opinion lol

hi zandi I think in the 1MeanMother's case he was just being sarcastic as the post was not deleted but when I see one that openly breaks the rules and even knows he is doing it I wll no longer risk my earnings as I need all of my earnings badly..If I really feel that my response will help despite the warning I might proceed but now I mainly advoid these.

I have never put that on but one of my discussions but it wasn't deleted. U just never know when something u think u are discussing is alright & it's deleted. I don't even remember wht the discussion was about now because it's been a long time ago but i got more responses to it than any other discussion i had ever made & it got deleted & i still do not understand why. I think people who tell u that are just trying to be nice. I will respond if i have something i want to say even if it does get deleted.

Zandi- You've been around long enough to know that many older posters will give warning for the simple fact that newer members may not know that the discussion is in violation or (even if not in violation offends administration) and be deleted. It's in part a courtesy. In some regards it is done as a thumb to the nose. For example, we are not supposed to according to the powers that be discuss anything relating to the workings of this site, etc. Yet, how many times do we see these types of discussions? Yes, people should read first, but many do not. If an older member is griping about something that occurred most will simply say "Y'all know the drill" or sometimes perhaps something more cryptic about the powers that be. It's a way of learning to talk about the issue without actually speaking directly to the issue. However, just today I responded to three issues regarding Mylot that offered no warning, just the rant. I know full well that it is possible those posts will be deleted, but is that fair to new users who may not be familiar with the rules? And yes, some of us do care about our post deletions because we took a great deal of time to say what we were going to share. When I was new to Mylot I used to hate the fact that I would responded to 25 posts per day only to find more than half of them deleted. It took me a long time to realize what we didn't need to answer and which posts may be deleted, etc. Now I know which types of threads may be deleted and post at my own risk. I think it's something we learn with time, but I'm not going to chastise someone for the warning. Namaste-Anora

In my opinion I dont care i just response to the discussion we dont know the persons who write it.I dont waste my time in some discussion also if the topics is insulting or rude.Where people we have the right to exprees our opinions that why they create this website.

It depends on who did the discussion and what it's about in whether I'll respond to it or not. I appreciate the warning for it gives me the opportunity to not respond if I so choose. The warning gives me that choice and I appreciate that.

I put it occasionally on a discussion that I think is borderline, but where I want to say what I want to say regardless. And I respond to discussions like that too. I don't really care about the money anyway.

Hi zandi! And of course I most definitely agree with you 100%! We are supposed be able to say what we want, at least within reason (albeit at least according to the TOS set by mylot), but that doesn't stop me from responding to a discussion that I feel should warrant a response whether it gets deleted or not! I've never been really good at follow directions as it is, in fact if you tell me not to do something I will probably do it anyway!

I will read such discussions and respond only if it's worth my time for me to offer my input. Most of the time when I read a rule being broken I just delete and don't waste my time.

I decide whether to respond or not based on whether I feel strongly about the topic and need to have my voice heard in regards to it otherwise I don’t bother if I know it will be deleted anyway. I usually appreciate the warning although I often see many without warnings which I know will probably go...

Once there is something important, I will respond to it//TO EACH HIS/HER own///Who are we to decide if admin decides to keep it or remove it...

Thank you for telling like it is. I am glad someone came along and told these people to not jeopardize us who respond to their possible posts that admin might just delete.. I like my money and I don't like getting messages from admin, "your response has been eliminated because the discussion was deleted.... No, I have quit responding if there is a warning, now that I've learned... thanks!

ya zandi i agree with you but i think if there ate warnings we should not proceed further...

I will jump into a discussion if I have something to say - whether or not there is a warning - in hopes that at least the person who started the discussion will be able to read it before it gets (possibly) deleted! The ones who know how myLot works pretty much know if a discussion will be deleted . . . so really it's a game and all for fun. But there may be others who are so darn serious about their time, effort and money on myLot - they are the ones who care about deductions. Well, this way they can't say they weren't warned!

I usually respond to discussions irrespective. It is unfortunate when you lose a response if the discussion is removed, but all part and parcel of the site.
