Special precaution to save oneself from the axe of deletion in mylot?

"Its sometimes hard to judge what is within guidelines and what is not." Amen! Which is why mylot should tell us why when they delete something rather than just that it got deleted. Guidelines are not always clear and it would help tremendously if mylot would just tell us exactly what it was that got something deleted. It frustrates me when I ask someone the why of something only to be told "read the guidelines".

Haha. I never asked the guidelines to be told to me. I get notifications from myLot, I read them careful and understand what went wrong. Henceforth I try to keep them in mind. I'm learning from my mistakes. I'm new here (6 days old) sometimes they skip my mind. But I'm trying and getting better. Good day!

I often get perplexed by the terms and conditions. From my own experience, I can say that it has so happened that my discussion has been deleted but I have repeated it a few days with a slight change in the representation and it stays still now. Thus it is very confusing and is applicable mostly for the money related discussions. It may be that some mylotters often post the link of any site for own promotion. But by common sense, it can easily be ascertained that such a discussion would definitely be deleted and I never respond to such any discussion with direct posting of a link for joining as a referral. But often I find the discussion to fulfill all the criteria but with utter surprise, get a notification from mylot that it has been deleted as the original question has been deleted. So I think mylot should be more clear in this respect.

surely at sometime you h ave read the guidelines and known not to include links for money making stuff so why flirt with disaster? not at all smart. instead of just posting blindly go bac k read again and again the dos and do nots of making discussions? if you were traveling on an unfamiliar road and you saw a sighn telling you that a bridge was out so take the substitute road, would you just go ahead and drive on the road with the bridge out rather than avoid the bridge being out? surely guidelines are the same they warren you what not to do in making a post ?

Absolutely! It is just as easy to make a money-making topic as it is any other if we are aware of the guidelines.

hi diana y es as with the guidelines we have a sort of map of what we can put in our discussions and what we shou ld not do in our discussions. I have often mentioned I love mysurvey.com for making extra money and I never had my discu ssion deleted as I gave no links just offered my own experience. I see the guidelines as warning u s of certain things just as a road sign would tell us that the bridge on our road was out so take xyz road instead. yet some would ignore that sign and guess what end up in a sandy creek bottom with their car stuck in the sand. lol if happened to my dad who refused to take the other road. sadly my mom and my younger sister and I were in the car too.that cost my dad almost a thousand dollars to g et a crane to pull him out and a tpw t ruck to get our car to a garage for repairs. it just pays so well to follow the directions in stead.

I have gone through all the 'dos' and "don'ts" in the discussion guidelines and that too very carefully after deletion of many of my posts. But still I am confued, obviously, less than before when I was a victim of deletion almost every day. No doubt, that picture has gone but still I am not totally from it. Still it happens off and on and I have now taken it as granted.

Thats correct. But I don't really post links. I know we could post a link to a page that supports the topic. But I also do not mention the name of another site. Not because we're not allowed, just because I do not want to look like I am soliciting. I try to stick to the guidelines the best I can.

Vandy take a look here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/poll where you will see that 'poll' = "a sampling or collection of opinions on a subject, taken from either a selected or a random group of persons, as for the purpose of analysis." which is equivalent to "survey".

and if one takes the poll title down and makes this a personal'thing then give her or his opooinon and asks for"your t ake fellow mylotters" I have not had a one of that ever deleted as I turned it in to a personal topic not a poll or a survey.it can be done easily too.

oh laughing wom an please please make a funny one as it w ill not get deleted and we all will respond to you I promise.

alberello I do agree as I find the guidelines easy to follow and keep myself out of trouble that way. .some just blu ff and say the guidelines are not clear when its more than evident that they never have even read them. some adu lts think its wrong for us older ones to suggest that they should just read the guidelines.

hi mikyung you are so right as we are from all over t he world and theres'no room here for hatred and racism at all.my lot admins will inde4ed delete racial slu rs and discussions condoing racism too. we do not need that here at all.
