People still cannot understand why responses are deleted. guidelines ?

Good question, I still see many are being deleted, and it kind of concerns me that no one is actually reading them. They have some important details in them, and we must educate ourselves as to what they are so that the deletion doesn't happen as frequent. It seems right after I post the discussion is deleted too.

You know, it reminds me of when I was in school and we were constantly told to read the directions before doing anything. In the directions it would say only fill out your name and nothing else...Lol Most of the class did not read them and would fail because they did not read the directions!! That taught me a valuable lesson. Always read directions no matter where I am. So many classmates of mine failed that test though so I would imagine people are still the same way. Some people just do not like reading these things, I do not know why! I just got my first discussion deleted a couple weeks ago because it was considered a poll type question which I really didn't think it was but I just re-worded it better and did it over which was fine. I do try to help others when they do not realize but they should start reading the directions!

This is a good thing to remind all the New users, and even some of the older ones about reading the Rules here and see and understand why some discussions are removed, as well as responses as well. It will not always clarify everything, and some will deliberately forget or try to press their luck, but it will sure help to clarify some reasons of things not to post for sure.

hiya, long time no see, your discussion is the one I choose to visit in my 2 minutes before I have to get the kids up, how've you been? the more things change around here, the more they stay the same. lol

Hatley you need to stop doing this! People just aren't getting it even when you and others try! I don't worry about this and if I see a discussion like that I don't even read it! I pass it up and go to something else! There is more to Mylot then trying to get newbies to read and understand the guidelines! This is one reason why I stay away from answering alot of discussionS! It is hopeless! I don't want to see one of my respones deleted and people like this aren't worth it! I do my thing and it makes me happy! If I kept on worring about this,I would of been long gone and never would of come back! Life is to short to worry about things you can't control!

Hi Hatley, thanks for this good reminder. I do read the guidelines whenever i am free. But, when i was too excited with the discussions, my mind got forgotten about those guidelines again. So, i got to accept it when the admin came across and deleted some of my responses. Hope you are always doing fine over there, Hatley.

Well to be honest I have been a little confused with some that have been deleted, I have read the guidelines and there has been some discussions deleted that I have not been sure where the guidelines have been ignored the only thing I can think of in some cases is because someone have replied with something after I have replied with something against the rules....

I get things deleted occasionally, but I usually can think of how the discussion might not fit the guidelines. I do not complain. Mylot does a good job of telling us about it, though. That would be my question, do they not read the notification. What people need to remember is that who pays you gets to set the rules. I make the rules if you come to my house. We are in MyLot's house.

Guidelines are written for a reason. some people just don't think they need to go by the rules. They can't believe anyone would delete their work either no matter what they wrote. It is their own fault if things get deleted. Concepts get blurred when people don't pay attention.

No, when I first became a member of Mylot I red them. Many times though, I need to refresh my memory so I go back and re read. We live in an instant age and people are not willing to spend the time reading guidelines. They just want to begin and get on with the business of making money. I like the friendships apart from not having much time these days or for the past year really. I do hope that you are now in perfect health and got rid of the bronchitis. Thank you also for your concern re my family's latest drama. Life can change in a second. I will post but am a bit fragmented. It concerns the health of my youngest granddaughter. tears in my eyes. Cannot write anymore. Not life threatening though for which I am giving thanks

I can't understand it either~(^^) Now I just leave those type of discussion. Whenever they post why their topics get deleted, I will either asked them to checked the same post like theirs or just leave it. I bet there will be others who had already give them the guidelines link.(^^)

Mom You are the senior most member here, this discussion and the responses will definitely helpful to new comers as well as old members, with experience i know now, which discussions to respond and which not to.. but i have seen some discussions deleted, but almost similar discussions do exist.. Best of luck. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

You did talk us into reading the mylot guidlines time and time again with good will.I have read it several times,but my memory always fails me at the time when I read the discussions,so sometimes my responses are still deleted owing to the discussions that they are attached to are deleted. It seems that I must read it again and again.

It happens all the time, doesn't it? They want to just start earning money and not read the guidelines. They just want to ask about what they should be reading about. Like: Why was my discussion deleted? When do I get my star? Why must I read the guidelines? and so on. I just got a notification that my response was deleted... I wonder why???? It seems I answered a poll discussion or something... I try to avoid them like the plague but still get sucked into them from time to time.

I still see some discussions being deleted that as far as I can tell do not violate the guidelines. What I am talking about are ones that if they are going to be deleted, than the whole topic of questions and answers should be deleted.

Hi there Hatley, I am one of those that just wrote a discussion about this. Good lord, the guy had been told by at least 3 of us that I know of that the discussions he was responding to were in violation. He ignored all of us and continued on. I reported a number of them...felt kind of bad in doing so but since he chose not to listen...oh well..maybe he will listen to administration. I remember being new and being awkward and feeling as if I didn't belong but I don't remember being real unclear as to the guidelines. I did read them and I think I was directed to them upon signing up...not sure. I joined wanting to do things right. I did screw up...I'm sure I did but I think they were minor screw ups. In all the time I've been here I've only had a handful of discussions and responses deleted. It happens. I go into "new users" discussions and try to welcome them in. I try to respond mainly to those who appear to show a genuine interest in becoming a member here. I also respond to a couple that I know will probably be removed but hopefully they'll get the advice and learn from it.

I've read them, and I understand them. But occasionally I'm still surprised when a discussion I've responded to gets deleted. Some discussions on here are just blatant rubbish, but ones which are borderline sometimes get the push. I guess someone has to be bothered to report them for myLot to delete?

Holla there Hatley haha you made me laugh in this early cold morning Maybe the discussion guideline was drew on different shapes that's why its hard to read haha. I guess I am nerd too coz I read them after my hubby registered me on this site

You are right aunty some mylotters not understand and they are try to using new thing in discussion and the result is the discussion is deleted. Do you know I started 100 discussions but still only 2 discussion was deleted then I understand what type of discussion can be discussed here and follow this and still no discussion is deleted since last 4 months. I miss you and your discussions.

You seemed to get so annoyed by the discussion on why some answers are deleted. You have even posted a comment on a discussion I started along that thread. I asked the question specifically for assistance from some experts in the site in order to clarify what was stated in the guidelines. Should I have known that the discussion I posted will earn your ire than I would just have kept my silence. It makes me all the more sad that experts instead of giving some guidance to us newbies would be so offended by the discussion. I have had responses that were deleted due to the question it was under which I thought did not violate any of the guidelines and I only intended to get some clarification. However, I don't intend to make the same mistake again in the future since I am now starting to learn my way around this site.
