Suddenly a doubt has come. silly doubt. We are not supposed to use the forum for canvassing. fine. Can we add our real name after discussions/responses/replies? And two please confirm that we should not give our email id in discussions/responses/replies. Three --discussions/responses/replies can we post in BLOCK letters fully or it will be considered an offence.? good day.

Hi, If we feel that we need to provide ph nos, address, or mail ids or any such personal information, and seems urgent, we can use PM so that it is safer to an extent and it holds confidentiality also.

Hi, Though it is a fact anc considering all everything, I still have 3-4 person's contact nos. and more of emails of myLot friends in India and abroad. Yes, though none of them not asked for a privacy on it, I value their integrity and unless or otherwise required, I never tried to disturbe anyone of them. If they provided the details without even asking them, I can understand they kept faith in me and we should keep the same to them also. All these are become a far off things as some or the other tried to exploit such situations and that is why some of the best facilities enjoyed us earlier is no more accessable in these days.

yes. we can exchange info through PM/ But to be frank such instances are very few because most of us are situate in different countries -- separated by the borders.

Sir I think email ID and link which is not related to discussion or referral link is not allowed in discussion. You have more experience than me but I read somewhere this.

When starting a New discussion I always respond back with my first name, and it has never been an issue. I do not share the other information in a discussion as I feel it is not necessary, and personally I am not sure if a person was to always respond back with Capital BLOCK letters here it would be considered acceptable of or good quality. In Chat rooms, etc. it is considered shouting.

I have read other responses and saw that mylotters already have given answer to your query sir For newbies and scammers who joined mylot for referral links well, sorry for them. Better they start hiding because they can't survive here.

yes. i got more doubts clarified. not only --names, email ids but also street names, phone no.s are not to be given. Our friends have taken pain to find out and post relevant portions for our guidance. thanks.

I think, anything in BLOCK letters can be construed as "highlighting" or 'emphasizing" something. That's why now I'm avoiding the use of those words in caps. Also,I think, that revealing our e-mail addresses in discussions can be our disadvantage, any unauthorized person can view that and the worse, can use to obatin personal as well as financial information - paypal, yahoo mail, online bank accounts. Perpetrators on the web right now have advanced their resources to get anything they want to. I think those rules is for our own protection. Thanks

At the end of the particular guideline in fact, myLot have added: "We do not disclose it to anyone for good reason." thus trying to make us aware of why we should not disclose personal information either.

mikyung: you are telling another dimension of our revealing email id. besides it being a guideline point --if we mention that in discussions hackers may draw information and cause damage to us. good point indeed.

Thanks ravisivan and mysdianait for that information. Can I also add that we should avoid using same e-mail address, like our names.Like for example my name is ABC DEF and my e-mail address is ABC.DEF@email.com. We should avoid giving hints on our real names. Correct? Any thoughts? Thanks

hi ravisivan as I understand it we are not to give ours or others identities although I have used my fullname as few times but with some trepidation as to if this is right.I do not know about block letters but we are to not use too many capitals as its considered rude. I have used a few to emphasize a point about mylotting and was never reprimanded.

Hatley aunty: yes. we are not to give our email id or other identification marks in discussions. I do not give my phone number, and other details here from the beginning and I also do not use block letters more. good day.

I think the way it is is fine. I know we are not allowed to canvas or solicit for anything. But I also will not post my email address. There is no need. And if you wan to give someone your email address we could always send them a private message here on MyLot.

inertia you are right. we can use PM facility. Mylot is good enough to give this facility to us. however only 0.1% may require email id and all that because people are busy with their other works.
