TonyBenitez(33) down to (28) What Happen?

It's hard sometimes to figure out what discussions/responses/comments were deleted and for what reasons. What I have done/still date is that when the notifier finally arrives, I will compare that to what I put in the trash folder to see what discussion it was about. Generally deletions arrive the same day and or next day. So if you see the notifier about such and such discussion deleted because the question you answered violated the terms and conditions, then I find that discussion I had in my trash bin and can easily see and compare to the guidelines so I can fathom how to delineate between what is what. What this does to me is understand guideline perhaps the discussion itself was relating to which guideline violation. This way I can easily remember next time I see the same type of deletion. One example I could give you is something like which do you like and they list an a,b,c, option. That right off the bat is a poll type discussion. Something you want to avoid in the future. So it just sounds like you responded to certain violations of the guidelines and since the entire discussion was deleted so was the response. This happens to me from time to time too. Tony it does get easier, it really does. If you had offended someone and or directly did something wrong the email would state that. So don't worry and continue enjoying your time here and it does get smoother.

To me I was not concerned I was confused because I was wondering what did happen because I did check my email but there was no notice of my discussions being deleted, I post quite a lot but I mostly want to help people so I was confused and concerned if I offend the community or one its members is all

Sometimes the notifications arrive after a short delay. Welcome to myLot!

Wow really? See I did read the FAQ page but it really didn't help much but thank you for responding and letting me know. I did check my email and there was not anything in there telling me that one of my post has been deleted. Thank you for the tips and Thanks for responding

Well my yahoo account gets them pretty quick so I don't know and hopefully it wasn't mine many people enjoyed what I posted up I couldn't believe if they deleted it. Well thanks for the input

I think Tony wasn't only participating in a topic that being deleted later. It was several topic; because as far as I know you can only get max of 2 points from a topic. And because of Tony lose 5 of his points, then I think Tony was participate in at least 3 discussions that being deleted later .. That's too bad.. And @Tony: I suggest you to read the guideline more carefully, not only for your response, but also for making you being able to tell whether a discussion is going to be deleted or no.. If you don't want to lose your point, then don't give response to a discussion that has a great possibility to be deleted.. Happy mylotting..

I did not know that something like that could happen. If the points are being taken off, is your earning deducted too? I hope not. I am also a newbie that is why I don't know much about myLot rules (though I have read it already). :P

Thanks for the tip, I was scared because I thought I did something wrong and points are being taken off. I'm glad the mylot community responded pretty quickly thank you again

Really? So say I responded to someones discussion I lose all my points that I made if it gets deleted? Why is that though? And I really don't see a discussion being deleted because most are helpful tips or opinions of some sort. Well that really sucks. . .

There are discussion Guidelines which we should follow when posting here: http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx We should all be aware of them, even when responding because then we will know which topics to avoid.

I have. I checked and it was not one of my posts because they are all there. My topics are usually just about upcoming video games what they want to watch on youtube have to save money or a bank that offers real checking account. Well thank you for putting your input and responding many thanks

Well that's good to know I wasn't the only and yeah for future reference I won't mind and I do have to tell some of my friends who recently joined this site will thanks for the tip and thanks o worries I'll move forward
