Explicit Deletion Notifiers For Responders Can Help Understand Guidelines Better

Hi sids! Brilliant suggestion! I know it has been made before but nothing has been done about it and now, with so many new users, it would be so useful! Everyone here, new and old, has had doubts when they receive that generic motivation when ther rsponse is deleted along with the topic. It is not easy to remember what the discussion was about if it is something that we particpated in weeks previously and therefore we tend to delete the notifier and not think any more about it - only to repeat the same mistake again later on Add GAA and see if you can get this problem across to him. I'm sure he will think that it is positive and, even though I doubt that he will be abe to implement it, he can speak with those who could.

dear sids, I agree

Hello thesids, It is a very good suggestion, and I join my voice to the other responders. I respond sometimes to discussions violating the guidelines and I know that they will be deleted quickly, but it is not the same when a notification comes several days later and that I can hardly remember the discussion and the starter's name -- by the way, I would also like to see the user name of the starter in the notification --. I believe that these discussions were found duplicated or plagiarized, but some deletions sound still mysterious in my mind. And even some deletions of duplicates are not really obvious : I replied a few days ago to two discussions started on the same topic in the same interest in an interval of two hours. Indeed, one of them was a duplicate, but I would not have found by myself that the duplicate was the first discussion started in this topic. It was a one line discussion started by a new member -- his first discussion --, when the second, started by a responder of the first, was very good and well documented. I understand completely the choice of the deletion, and maybe the first has been deleted for another reason, lack of content by example ? In a case like this, knowing the reason given to the starter would be great.

Actually my friend I understand and got your points about deletion which two days ago I experienced not one but 4 discussions which same notifier. Normally I will ask the same question of WHY? Imagine 8 points deleted on my points and such day only 1 cents I earn, but I just ignore about it and said that's life here in mylot next time be careful.. see you around

It's disappointing to receive the notification. I do receive that too sometimes and it's saddens me that it was deleted after having had the effort to think of what should be written in response to such discussion. Maybe it would have been better that all discussions, more or less being discerned as to whether it broke a guideline should be under "pending discussions", which would at least take a day before it could be really determined whether it has to be deleted. That way, responders will skip it temporarily and go back to it once, it isn't pending anymore.

It happens to me many times.I had no choice but to accept bad luck without complaint.There is some reason in what you said.

Here's the problem, I think. Confidentiality. In other words, the person you responded other gets the reason, you don't. Because myLot doesn't want you to know why the other person's response and/or discussion was deleted. That's private.

Hello I recd many time this message. I always accept it that the question was not deleted. I don't know any other reason. If we are informed about the real cause of deletion of our respond than we improve better.

Sid beta Now i know about which discussion you are talking of, i felt there was nothing wrong in that discussion, hence i had responded, i agree the exact reason should be specified.. Thanks for the timely discussion God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

Hi Sids, I did feel the same like what you mention here, I have got a few notification that were deleted without any reason, and I have to figure it out by myself. I think that will be really a good idea to include the reason why our post or the discussion being deleted and at least the person who started the discussion will know what kind of mistakes they have done and they will be more careful and will not repeat the same mistake again. I am totally support this idea! Be happy always!

Hi thesids Oh gosh YES! It would be so nice to receive the reason because as a one year user it still at times confuses me. So my thought is that if I was a new user I would have gotten so frustrated and left right away. So an explanation as to why would certainly avoid confusion. I am usually aware when the notifiers arrive as to what exactly is the violation. Because of my high activity here, and my great memory I can almost always guess, but this is not the same for new users and or anyone here specifically for earnings. Best example I can give is that yesterday I received a notifier for a really great discussion. There was no absolute way that was a violation, and I interacted a great in that discussion. I though it carefully and went to my trash box to pull up the actual discussion, I was amazed that it was deleted as it should NOT have been. So oddly later in the day the same discussion was started and I though huh, what is this and from a veteran member too. Well guess what the member felt she had an error in her title so she asked Admin to delete it. That is her choice and I understand but here is the thing thesids any new member and or someone who did not see the new one would not have known that it was NOT an Admin deletion but the member requested it to be removed. So you see how confusing that is for a new member? Especially when the notifier said Guideline Violation. So I agree thesids myLot needs to really give us the reason so that members do not get discouraged and or can learn from the mistakes. I'm in with your suggestion here.

Hello Thesids, For those who know the guidelines, when a notification 'your answer has been deleted..." comes, it will be easy to realize the reason. Even if I try to stay away from discussions that violate of the guidelines, I still receive such notifications. When I see the notification, I try to guess what was the discussion that has been deleted. My guess is usually right but I am a little disappointed that I couldn't realize that before responding. Anyway, I managed to reduce the number of notifications of deletion I receive through e-mail. This month I have received only 5 (if I don't count this discussion, that would probably be deleted because somebody here said the problem was discussed before ). Your idea is good, especially for new users who are not too familiar with the guidelines. Maybe if many of us contact myLot about this proposal, we will see a change. Have you contacted myLot about this?

Surely its a good idea.. This way everybody can know the reason and stay away from discussions like that. i mean unless we are aiming for someone better we don't response in discussions which can be deleted.

Hello Sids! I definitely agree with you Sids as in thumbs up,haha! When I was new here,I've recieved many notifications and I was surprised and confused if this will affect my account like they will banned me or not. And that made me read the guidelines more carefully. But it is still quite confusing until now to me,haha! Since I still recieved some notifications,oh my! So yes,the notifiers should explain briefly to us why our response was deleted. See yah!

I like your idea and think that it would help people to learn how to be a better mylotter in the long run.Glad you brought it up and glad that someone thought of it.I hope that you have a wonderful day thesids.

YES, you are right bro, because unless we know the reason, we can't rectify ourselves and there are chances that we can repeat them again and again so it is better that they should clarify these mistakes because if its clarified so it will be better... At least by this method we can come to know some rules because no one has so much time to read each and every rule minutely and remember it... HAPPY POSTING

Good morning, dear "thesids!"Support you 100% on this discussion...and true, it has been purported times before..but not as eloquently, and non-confrontational as YOU have! It certainly would "clear the air"--for persons like me, not always remembering all the discussions I have responded to...AND for persons like me being childlike, WHEN I get my fingers slapped, I like to know why! LOL! Just want you to know, I have NOT dropped off the face of the map...Spring here in Western Canada, is my busiest time of the year, and this year, it is tipping me over the edge, average being 20/7...so my "puter" time is mostly client billing! Shud slow down by end of July...so if you don't hear from me in print..know that you are hearing from me...in thought and spirit!

Hmm thats interesting. i wonder why Mylot felt compelled to delete the post. Maybe someone had written something that went against the rules and regulations. I suppose if there was a post that contained something offensive then Mylot would have to take action and delete the post but I do agree it would be helpful to know why the post had been deleted.

Hey thesids I think that is an awesome idea and I would really like it implemented. There is sometimes a lot of confusion..I have wondered why certain discussions I have responded to have been deleted too. I think it would really assist new members in a better understanding of the guidelines..maybe even some older members too. Even if it was not their discussions getting deleted, they would see what caused a discussion to be. Great idea!

Hi chhotu, In the recent past there was no notification when they deleted the discussion topic. The explanation was too short to understand. Then they started sending notifiers. Even they deleted discussions if they violated the mylot guidelines. Now they have stopped sending notification as well. Today four of my responses got deleted but I do not know what were the topics. What I feel is that once you introduce a regulation it should not be altered so frequently.
