doubts, doubts, doubts!!

hi allknowing I do think mylot really does need some sort of check before turning these newcomers loose to just make silly or rule breaking discussions as they are too know it all to bother to read' the information that would save their silly selves from getting discussions deleted and belly aching about mean mylot for deleting their discussions. they will never acknowledge that they did not know what they were doing, not at all.if we just keep spoon feeding them the information they will keep coming back with the same questions and we the good samaritans will keep losing our earnings. after awhile it get old doing this over and over for some of the same usernames. why on earth cannot they just read the information?

Unless myLot make it so that new users cannot start new topics until they reach a certain number by first responding and commenting on discussions started by others, this will always be a problem. This was suggested ages ago and it was not implemented so we are stuck with coping as best we can. I do not think that 'just reporting' is going to help the situation. If a new user asks a question and all they receive is a deleted post, then they will probably start another saying ' why was my post deleted?' and we are back to square one - even more deletions too When a new user registers they receive a mail but the majority just ignore it and start posting, thinking that myLot is like all the other forums. I enjoy helping them to appreciate that it is not and often, after first responding to their question, I then report the post. I am not concerned with a deleted post if I can assist them in understanding what they are doing wrong and then, once they have understood, having many more interesting topics started by them to respond to I feel that if the Lotters who have understood what needs to be done to get the best out of the time we spend here, help those who are new, then we can ALL benefit from it. I think you were not here when every time a user reached a certain number they posted about it and then there were endless deletions. Some of us went ona crusade to get it across that 'milestone' ropics leave nothing to discuss and now they we rarely see them. I guess that it takes a high patience level to not get annoyed by them and I am lucky that I have not reached mine yet therefore I will continue to answer as many questions as I can

I really don't know much about ratings. I used to let people know now I just ignore the topics like they are not even there.

Why not just respond to them nicely? I mean come on like 1 / 15 people who ever join anything ever read the rules. Not a lot of people do it these days...

Those users surely did not read,They wanted short cut posting right away and do other things,like interacting, commenting.
