Is posting with similar topics on MyLot not allowed?

I'm kinda curious if MyLot is like other Forums sites that's strict about their member's discussions.What if I want to start a discussion but that topic is taken and already discussed like some months or years ago? should I post the same topic? or I'll just start a new,original one?

Hi Iamnena, I think that if it is not a "hot topic", it would probably slide through. It's very hard to tell. Sometimes even when you search before typing, you can't tell if it is a topic already discussed. The ones that I've seen deleted tend to be the ones regarding some big news item when there are several regarding that one particular incident. Other more broad topics such as abortion, etc are discussed all the time but probably not every day. I think if you put your own spin on it , it'll probably be ok.

I suggest that you take a look at these guidelines http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx also this one http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq8.aspx#1 How do I start a discussion? *Before starting any discussion, search your topic in myLot to make sure you are not duplicating any discussions. We discourage posting discussions that have already been posted.*

You must not copy from other topics,yet some other members makes the same topic using the synonym just to make another discussion and rephrase the questions.When I was still a neophyte in this site,I have some discussions which are already been seen in the other members.My topic was erased but the points was never subtracted from my earnings.You must make another topic not yet discuss here.If your topic is very interesting many members would respond to it.Happy myLotting!!!!!!!
