Some people take Mylot too seriously.

I can see from your activity where you saw the problem and I would like to make some points. 1 - that user has joined solely for the purpose of spamming a site and gaining referrals as can be seen from their activity. There are other sites for that purpose, not myLot. 2 - some users may appear to be 'newbies' but many are on their umpteenth account here and it is exasperating at times trying to be rid of them, especially at week-ends when admin is not always around. 3 - did you report that topic too or is it only the usual Lotters that do as they are asked in the Guidelines? 4 - I do see that there was some unnecessary language used but I also see that so eof those users have a lower star today which might put them off using that tone in future. My opinion is that while it is the same bunch of Lotters who appear on theose type of discussions I can understand that tempers fly. I also agree that they should try and keep their cool but I know from experience that dealing with both spammers and plagiarists, and losing posts shile doing so, can be frustrating. How about some others joining in ajd helping out too?

Newbie needs guidance from veterans in here! Well,well,well....When i was new in here i was not know anything although i read the guidelines but not all what my lot said i remember. They need guidance and help ,don't need to be mean or etc .They are first timer.!

I would simply let her know the discussion was against the guidelines. There is no reason to be rude. Some people need to remember they are communicating with real people who have feelings.

I think there is no point in being rude. If that newbie (or spammer)went against the guidelines, why should commenters do the same thing? Anyway, I think it is better to point out the mistake and give advice or simply avoid commenting on such topic/coment.

i have observed this too and some of the comments are ridiculously arrogant. i have reported many discussions but i do not see the point of coming across as nasty so i do not leave a comment unless i feel like having a laugh. members of mylot should point out the rules politely, it is not their job to be overbearing. it does have to be pointed out that these comments are few and far between but everytime someone is rude it always sticks in the mind.

Well, being a newbie myself(6 days old), I really can't comment but I am very interested in the responses you receive. What was it she did that was borderline, so I may avoid it like the plague!

Many people here in mylot joined and sign up without reading the guidelines. For them just to earn money they don't mind what are they doing if they violate the guidelines of the site they have joined. They should be reminded by anyone here who can see their post.

Setting aside one specific discussion for a moment and focusing on the whole more broad issue... I see a lot of "newbies" making the same mistakes as well. When I say "newbies" I am not the MyLot police going through and seeing that everyone with a double digit number in the parenthesis after their name is on their forty second new account and therefore when I see "soandsomylotter (65)" I assume soandsomylotter has made 65 posts, the end, no more discussion. That said, I see this group doing things like asking how everyone likes to cook their chicken, which falls under the heading of recipe sharing, which is against the rules. But my opinion, here and everywhere else in the world, is if the same rule keeps getting broken in the same way by different people at different times, perhaps it is not the rule breakers' faults but rather the rule itself needs to be rewritten.

Now a days, newbies jump to start discussion or response without reading the guidelines and thats why their discussion get deleted but it is not suitable to leave rude comments fro someone's ignorance or laziness to read guidelines. As veterans we should enlighten them rather then being rude. have a nice time.

Usually if I see someone violate ,I do tell them to read the guidelines,but I'm rude or mean.I don't think people should be mean about it,but they should know what they did wrong so they can post a proper discussion.

Some newbies never took time to read the guidelines. Mylot is a social forum site and rude comment/s are not allowed. For sure those comments will be deleted if found violated the rules. Some newbies only joined for referrals so they never mind to read guidelines and no matter how other mylotters give them few instructions, they keep doing same mistakes which made other mylotters pissed off (so we cannot blame other old members to sounds rude -this never happens everyday)

Absolutely right, lot of members here taking mylot too serious on reponding rude comment which is not totally right, we all know that most of those newbies never took their time on reading the mylot FAQ and Guidelines but all they do is just jump on the loop start commenting on how this how that on mylot, some other member helps and some other member just totally rude.Newbies also needs to read the mylot faq and guideline

So, I'm off to read the guidelines now. Oops.

In the beginning it is difficult to understand all the things about mylot but if anyone is doing wrong against the mylot's guidelines then it is our responsibility to tell that mylotter that what is wrong and what is right. and i have also faced such situation when some of mylotters thinks they are smart because they all things and put rude comments on my post.it feels very bad seriously. but after some times when understand the procedure then all things goes well.but i don't like this behavior of mylotters. but there are many users who tells me many things so that i can understand the whole phenomena very well.

I try to politely tell them what they did wrong in hopes of helping them. I did however see Mysdianaits response which leads me to believe that this user had a bit of a history. If that's the case and they have been informed that what they are doing is wrong and continue to do it, I'd probably just report them and not waste alot of time responding to them since it obviously isn't working.

I'll have to go look for it and see if it is still there so I can judge it for myself. That is the only way I like to judge what anyone says. Others can feel they are right, when they are looking at it from only one point of view.

It happens most of the time.I think they should be advised on how to post a discussion.Some lotters are way harsh on commenting posts by newbies this shouldn't be the case.We should make mylot a peaceful site to earn and gain friends as well.If you disagree in a certain post by a fellow mylotter you can disagree with him/her but in a nice manner.This is just dicussions don't get it too personally there are posts that I notice which is not inclined i should say with the discussion.

Not everyone in this world is friendly and some people are but keep in mind often newbies will post something without performing a search and seeing if this topic was discussed before. Not justifying anything but one thing to keep in kind online, never take anything to heart.

Hi, I'm also a newbie in MyLot and I got confused with what you wrote: borderline against the guidelines. Can you tell me what are the guidelines? I don't want to fo the same mistakes. And also I receives some emails informing me that the discussions where my comments were under were deleted. Is it because they cross the borderline?

you should not be rude to any one i myself have had 3 topics removed and could not figure out why no matter how many times i went over everything. i think it just depends sometimes but instead of being rude give ideas on what to write about we are all basically hear to try and make a little extra income and im sorry but they say its easy and fast on here i average 3 comments aday im up to 40 cents in 6 weeks so i can understand her frustration if something does get deleted
