I am very disappointed right now. I feel like doing something crazy. I told you guys that I am struggling to take out time to mylot and what ever i participated in yesterday seems to have deleted. I think those discussions are deleted and now the number next to my name is like decreased with 15 posts. I mean isn't there a better solution to detect duplicate of discussion?? It can also be something like when the person posts the discussion, then it says it is duplicate post and does not allow it them to post it unless made some changes or made unique.. At least we won't be wasting out precious time responding.. I am tired of this. I am not sure but this one might get deleted as well. so what is the use. I am sad. I think there is a solution, but then why not implement. people are suffering, don't you think so? Are you a victim of this problem??

I haven't experienced that kind of problem though but i lost all my earnings. That's because i haven't opened my account for like months now. So i fully understand what happened to me. Yours however is a problem you need to voice out to this site's operators. Another problem i encountered just happened to me a while ago. I was creating this discussion, a very lengthy one at that. When i posted it a message appeared on the screen saying i had a network error even though i was fully connected and there is an internet connection. I was really pissed off.

okay i got your point hats. I have seen the discussions down the tab but it does not come when we are initiating one. After we have written it that it shows the other similar discussions. I will try to be more alert from now. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

This problem arises because whenever we start a discussion we have a lot of hopes that it is not contradicting guidelines. our desire to post makes us forget about all this, Can you believe whenever I start a discussion I always start with the hope that that discussion will get more than the maximum no. of responses received by me in any discussion so far -- ie. 55+. But i get 4 or 5 or even less . luckily my friends do not allow 0. So we also while posting responses believe it is fine but it is deleted afterwards. last week the number was more on account of email notifications aspect. i am used to deletions of responses and always allow 5% discount for that. Please do not ever feel bad personally about deletions. It is a procedural matter which we have to follow and agree and enjoy.

but he was talking about responding to duplicates and each time I respond I have been able to see if there are others on the same subject so I bypass it.there is no law that we have to respond to each discussion when they are all on the same topic. if you can see that there are others also on that topic why would you bother making a response as most will be d eleted.

yes. i understand what you say. when we type a discussion if it is same it need not be permitted. that is great. may be it will take some time. have your changed avatar recently? it is also nice.

yeah ravi i can understand that it is the rules and we have to abide by it, but sometimes it becomes too much I feel it is not justified. I hope we get better responses in the future. I wish there was another way to detect the duplication od discussion and they do not allow it to be posted in the first place. Like how copyscape detects the uniqueness of articles and it does not all us to sumbit it, it is in some sites where i used to write articles. I hope what I am trying to say..

Yes, I had this happen to me just recently. I was notified via e-mail that a couple of my responses had been deleted because the discussion itself had been deleted. As far as the number next to my name, I really don't keep a close eye on it, so even though I'm sure it went down, I have no clue as to how many posts it was decreased to or anything like that.

Solution is mylot will approve the topics first and then will release them tobe responed or commented. Sometimes we, user cant understand which topic goes agaist guidelines and which not.

It is not the solution at all. They should not approve the topic once they know it is duplicate. I am not talking about breaking the rules here in anyway but I am talking about just duplication of discussions. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I have seen in a site where i write articles. Before submitting, the whole article goes through copy scan and when detected copied, they do not allow to submit until the changes are made. so there could be a way here in mylot for this problem i guess.. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

riyauro there are more rules than just not making duplicates for heavens sakes go look at the guidelines they are there to make sure you do not make discussions that break the rules. if you have never driven a car do you not take l,essons,. if you are new to my lot in any wa y do read the guidelines for the simple reason it shows you the rules and tells you what you can do and what you are not to do. go read it even if you didf it beofre as duplication is just one rule people break there are several more and they are not hard to understand,. read the guidelines as its a how to make discussions and how to m ylpt.mylot.

hi riyauro yes I do get the picture but I often see say a discussion on some glitch that has upset all of us and if you will just look at the discussions you will see say the glitch was not getting notifications or new friends d iscuusiong and you will see " why are we again not getting ossification?" pr "I did not g et any notifications " or another one "help are you mylotters getting notifications?" now all t ese are open to view and all but one will be deleted as they all are making discussions based on not getting any notifications.,'so next time you see a bunch of discussions alread on your topic change to something else to resond to as you should see they are all duplicates.If you know the rules and the rule broken is duplicate's then c heck to see if other discussions are there already about that same topic then do not respond to it.

hi hats, know the rules and the ones i have responded are not deleted cos of some other reason but duplicate. So that is what I am saying, isn't there a way to check if it is duplicate so that we refrain from responding to that discussion?? The issue for here is the duplicate discussions, why do they in the first place accept to post the discussion when it is duplicate. There must be a way that detects it while posting it, and not go in the list and other choosing to respond to it. I will try to read the guidelines incase I have missed on something though but I hope you understood what my point was..

It is not anyones suffering here. Anyone who violates the rules and guidelines gets to face the deletion. So there is no issue over it. To answer your question - yes, there have been days and discussions from me which have got deleted because of the duplicates. You have to learn to use the search bar and try to find out for yourself if the content or tone of the discussion is a duplicate or not. There is and will be no other way as far as what I have seen. And trust me, once you get through this and learn it, you would speak my words as you would realize that there are really many duplicates which should have been deleted long before. But then, the admin is really busy and reading all discussions just out of compulsion of job is not a joke. So please dont think to blame the admin for their work... they do it good and right so that Mylot stays healthy

I have noticed the number of posts I did were also deleted and I think if it were withing the Mylot discussion guidelines, it wouldn't have happen. So what we can do is to post on discussions that are not presented very much alike like other previous posts.

No how much we try to do that, still we will come close to some discussions which are same and to avoid this there must be a way to detect it. I hope you know that there comes a software which can detect a copied article, similar way there can be something to detect a copied post and does not allow to post it unless made changes in that post. I hope you got my point now. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Yes, One of my discussions on email notifications not received was also deleted-- possible reason can be it is not allowed or i sent the link to three persons in the discussions, i am not sure,. sorry as a result of that one number would have come down. last week there was a spare of discussions about email notifications not received and i think many of them got deleted and that is why our numbers come down. Where we have a doubt we should not post responses. Hatley aunty -- even for you one discussion got deleted after it receiving a lot of responses for one or two days. it happens. let us learn from experience. There was no internet availability for me today on account of shifting and my hands were itching. so loss or gain it is always mylot to an extent possible.

This what i noticed in Mylot , admin would not think twice if the discussion is like a polling question. Guess 2 already were deleted fr my discussion and many responded from those discussion. Thats why we be careful even in responding , if we know its a polling question then never mind responding for surely it will be deleted. That is ok Riya.

It also happens to me. Although I have joined in this site just a few days ago, I have been very much active in posting new discussions and responses. And I think that the number of my post have been decrease by seven each day. But I have no complains. Instead of being discourage, I am more determined to work harder here.

Friend first tell me this is your real photo if yes then very nice. We cant do anything because we not know which discussion may be delete by mylot. Last week I got 5 notifications and say my answer is delete because of the discussion is deleted. I also feel irritated because the money will loose but no option. So I decided if the question is related to decision making like start from "Do you like" or which you prefer arrange marriage or love marriage this type of discussion mostly deleted. Because we cant ask the one side opinion.

surekha hi, yeah it is me in the picture. all this while whatever avatars you was in my profile was me always..haha. anyway I used to write articles and there on that site, after writing when you submit the article it goes through copy scape which detects if it is copied or no. If it detects copied then the system will not allow you to submit the article until changed. So I mean if there is something like this here it will be wonderful. I mean it is a waste of time when the posts get deleted. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Hi Riyauro, It's been a week or more since the last time I received notification that my response has been deleted due to the deletion of the discussion that I participated. Not because there is something wrong with the notifications, but because I have not participate in many discussions so chance to get my response will be deleted is smaller. My little strategy to avoid deletion, first I will make sure that the discussion I participate doesn't break the guidelines and if Im not sure whether the discussion break the guidelines or not I would wait few days before participate to it (not 100% guaranteed that it's gonna avoid deletion but at least minimize the probability). Second, I like to participate in discussion which related to personal life problem because people might have the same problem but everyone has different view or angle, I think nobody has 100% identical same situation. Duplicated topics usually happen because the discussion starter does not specify their topics, mylot has told us to be as descriptive as possible so by writing a descriptive topic we can lessen the chance of duplicated or identical topic to previous one. Other kind of discussions that I like to participate is discussion about current situation or daily news especially something that happen in my country, so chance that the discussions has been posted in the past time is smaller. I understand your frustration to have your response get deleted, it is like a waste of time because you devoted your time to respond on the discussion then to find out it is deleted. But the more we spending time on mylot, we can learn which type of discussion that probably will be deleted.

Yes Prashu228, we cannot avoid deletion even after we have checked and rechecked it. There was a discussion that I participated and deleted after few weeks, yes I lost the earning but I did not regret because I had fun with other members in the discussion before it's deleted. The earning from that discussions is gone but I had a lot of fun and nothing could delete the fun, we moved on to another discussions and have fun there Maybe because I consider mylot members as friend to share and to talk to, the conversation might be deleted from mylot's database but not from my memory, I do not regret my participation in mylot whether it is deleted or not.

Hi fashion ans prashu. is it great thought to have checked the discussion well and then respond. yeah it is true that there are so many similar discussions coming up and it is bound that we will come across this situation. i do try my best to scan the topics before responding. I mean if there was another solution to this where mylot would not allow such discussions to be posted in the first place. It would save so much time and energy of the mylotters who are struggling to find time from their busy schedule to mylot. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I believe all Mylot members faced similar situations before. It is commonly known that Mylot wants to prevent duplications of topics in order to maintain the quality of discussions. However, I am not really supporting what they are doing. Let us do a little bit of critical thinking here, we have hundreds of thousand Mylot members and each of them are posting discussion every now and then about whatever that they feel like sharing or discuss about. But, what we have around us is just too limited if we are not allowed to have similar discussions. Think about it, how many times when you want to chat with your friends or lovers online or on the phone, and you ran out of topics and went into silence? Yes, the same goes here, there are not much unique discussions to talk about. Everybody may had talked about common issue such as love, family, work, making money online, movie, songs, friends, travel and food. What else can you expect people to talk about? Thus, I believe we should be allowed to have similar discussions as long as it is not completely identical or same or in academical writing we call plagiarism. This will enable Mylot members to have more choices in starting discussions.
