i just want to share this, yesterday i made a discussion started with "which do you prefer, reading books,or watching the movie of the story?" and today when i open my email and viewed the discussion i made, i found out that mylot deleted my discussion because they said it is a "game or poll type discussion" i really dont know that it is against the rule. So i read the tos of mylot and its true...i would like to apologize about it.Hope this serve as a lesson...

You are not the first, and I guess you will not be the last, who joins myLot and posts without reading anything first. It is sad that not many read the Guidelines and the FAQs and get off to a slow start here.
As you said, you have learnt your lesson so it will not happen again
Welcome aboard!

Also be aware of the discussions where you respond too because if they are violations and later are deleted, then you will earn nothing for your post.

I don't think it's a poll type discussion either unless you just asked that question and nothing else. You should read the FAQS page to learn more. Happy mylotting! :)

even if i consider it as not a poll discussion, but then when responded to the comment of other member i always say "thank you for the response" which is also against their tos...,haha...

Don't worry. Everybody makes mistakes every now and then, including me. I also had a discussion which was deleted too. Well, as long as you have read the ToS and guidelines, everything will be fine. Just have fun here!

yes your right, as what others says "learn from your mistakes". I think sometimes its good to commit some mistakes so that in the future you know what the right thing to do....

I think this is very easy to do at first. Even if you read the terms of services. Because we are only human and we forget. We do learn through error and the errors of not really reading things through. A few times and you tend to learn the lesson. I don't think I've had a misstep in many months but I could be wrong. Still eventually you'll have an idea what discussions are good and what are violations like the back of your hand.

You are not alone braimer,I guess most of mylotters experienced it also and it's a lesson we shouldn't do next. We just have to be very careful on what discussions we are about to post and what we are about to respond to. I for one have a post discussion deleted and it was also because it is a poll type discussion,now I know what a poll type discussion is,lol! But there are also times I don't know if it is a poll discussion or not,just like your discussion yesterday,I responded to it and unfortunately my response was deleted,lol! I really can't figure out at once if it's a poll type or not,hard!
See you around!

Its a common problem. We do not remember all the guidelines all the time, when you have a discussion deleted, remember the reason, most probably it is something that you forgot was against the guidelines. It is also important to read the guidelines every now and then to refresh ourselves. Don't get down when this happens even the veterans have deleted discussions!

I do understand your situation. I did have my post deleted due to violation. There are times whereby we are so excited to write or inform people about something right and we just keep on writing. Whatever it just write and o not feel bad about it. We do learn from some mistakes. Yes we will do a lot of mistakes and sometime we repeat it again but hey that is life isn't it? Reading the response here, I am so happy to know that most of the senior members here are very supportive, they are not the 'big headed' as what others say. Any how I love myLot.
