I Have a Rant

I've been a member of myLot for over 5 years. Been very content and happy to contribute what I know about certain discussion topics. Lately each time I respond to a disscussion I see the little icon on the right has been clicked as "abuse." This happens within seconds of my responding to a discussion. Could this be a glitch in the myLot program itself or are there members out there who do this for grins? Would appreciate any feedback and your ideas about what I can do to handle this situation. Trying to contact myLot didn't work so well this morning so guess that's a dead deal! Thanks in advance.

The icon that you see is for YOU to report your own posts.
It has not been used already.
If you look carefully you will see that on posts by other Lotters there are 3 icons name,y +/-/! whil you only see ! on your own posts.
If you double post (due to a connection error for ecample) then YOU can use that icon to ask admin to remove the duplicate.

Diana always comes to the rescue. And sometimes makes us feel stupid. 
but that's because she cares about us and mylot.

It is not my intention to make anyone feel stupid 
I do wonder what colour hair some Lotters have though

Not a glitch.
A mistake as you can see above

@Ambie: I thought the same thing. I guess we both read the discussion post wrong because it seems from the way that she's written it, that someone has been reporting her. But Diana is here to the rescue.

Or a glitch. It seems the report button has been behaving herself though and Carol just didn't notice.

Glad to hear you have been here so long, I love it here. I'm not going to say anything about your rant as it has been answered several times above, for me to comment more would be redundant, so I won't instead I will extend an offer to tip the little brown jug that I always carry.

That's troublesome. Could it possibly someone who you have wronged on mylot before and is now trying to take his or her revenge on you?

I'm (knock on wood) not having that problem at the current time. I hope if it's a glitch, they fix it. If it's someone getting a kick out of harassing you, they move on because they get bored and go do something else. Either way, it's got to be frustrating.

Oh yeah, it only means we cannot rate + or - our own topic or comment, but can only use this ! 
Well, good and fine, or else I will always rate myself a +
You make a good topic to discuss here

This isn't something that I've ever seen so I can't say that I actually know what you are talking about.
However, you do have a really good star rating, so it would be my guess that there isn't someone that is following you around and flagging you for abuse on the system because you wouldn't be keeping a great star rating if you were being accused of abuse all the time.

hi carol, wow I have been a myloter for all of 2 1/2 week and I need
to ask you where is that icon exactly? I want to make sure thats not happening
to my discussions..I definately would hate to think that my discussions
are catagorized as "abusive" because even tho I am very opinioned
I would never want to respone in an abusive manner...thanks,,hope
you get it figured out soon...

The icon is to the right of your discussion when responding. You should see 3 icons: a plus, a minus and an exclamation point on someone elses discussion. You can also see it when someone responds to a discussion. I was focused on the wrong icon so it was my stupidity. Thanks for responding.
