Should I or should I not?

It is impossible to be 'perfect' when in the Terms myLot tell us "myLot reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any posting by you, or to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the myLot services at any time, for any or no reason,....." http://www.mylot.com/o/terms.aspx I post on many topics which I am certain will be removed. Those where there are referral links or where a user is celebrating a milestone. I prefer to let them know, in the hope that others will read my response and not add their own but that is usually not the case as the majority don't read previous responses here it seems. I come across plagiarised posts which will be removed for certain (often along with the user) and I post there too for the same reason as above. I am not really concerned about losing my own posts. I don't watch my number and if one post goes, it doesn't take much to be a bit more active the next day and cover my losses either.

I've only been on mylot about a month now and at first I responded to a few discussions that were deleted. I'm finding now that it doesn't happen so much, but I don't really worry about it. I respond to something that interests me and if the topic gets deleted, then it gets deleted. No big deal. I am finding however, that there are a lot of duplicate discussions on here and wonder what constitutes a duplicate in the eyes of the admin. I have read the guidelines many times over and still see what I would consider to be violations, duplicate and otherwise. Maybe they haven't been deleted because nobody has reported them or because they haven't gotten detected yet. Or maybe there is some small feature or wording in them that makes them not considered duplicate, poll or whatever. I don't know so I have given up even trying to figure it out. I just continue on my merry little way and if something gets deleted, oh well, carry on.

Hi! Like you, I also fail to identify those discussions which are likely to be deleted. I also feel disappointed when I receive a notification informing me that my response has been deleted because the discussion was deleted itself. This happens on an average in one out the twenty discussions. I sometimes respond to a topic because it appears interesting to me, regardless of the point that it could be deleted later. It is difficultd for me to scrtunise discussions while responding. Good discussion. Have a nice day.

I'm not so great at it either. I answer anyway too. Sometimes it is hard to tell...it is close but might slide by. As far as the duplicates...I know I have seen those. I do know it's hard to come up with super original discussions with so many members..but there are some that are crazy duplicated. Anyway..I do go ahead and answer if I have input...I try to stay within guidelines with my responses though. If it is iffy as far as poll type...I won't answer it the way I would a poll.

I've stopped caring about the guidelines.....seems to be if you're disliked you get reorted more than others. i do mylot for fun...don't even claim the money. real friends are what mylot is asbout and i respond to discussions that interest me even when i know it will probably get deleted. when you do mylot this way you pick up a pattern to deleted discussions. my belief is if you like the person and know it is going to be deleted go for it anyway.

Hi allknowing, it is easy to learn from our daily experience. I learned a little and even still learning. Even after reading this post in my notification, I thought it wont be present in mylot. But my surprise it is present. Honestly speaking, I thought some would have reported it as ranting. I would say beyond those guidelines present in the site, we have to be careful from our daily experience.

I should say i am not too bad here though it can never be perfect because I have not had hundred percent success. However, since I am relatively less active problems are less.So, this is not in my skill but just an effect of infrequent participation and choosing to answer less discussion topics.

i give up worrying about it too much. this is because more of my post get approved than not. sometimes it's not about what i post, but maybe the original poster's post got deleted. in turn, so did mine. one thing i do is that i am careful not to post to ones that are one sentenced polls. that's one of the things i notice alot of new comers do because they don't know any better.
