What makes me feel bad?

You are right,my friend.Mylot wants us to be descriptive and send quality posts.I have seen discussions that were one liners,but I have never seen any discussion that consisted of only one or two words.I have read the faq carefully and so before responding to a discussion I try to ascertain if it might get deleted.I never violate the guidelines and never respond to a discussion that I think violates guidelines.

Don't feel bad. Let's stretch our patience. It's a pity to newbies for not doing the right thing in Mylot. For those of us who have already grown scales here, we may serve as their guiding lights. Let's tell them to go visit the rules and policies so often. It's for their good and for the good of us all here in Mylot. Happy posting for all of us!

I would respond and tell the person that their discussion will be deleted.. And how they can make a discussion that will stay in the future... When I refer someone to mylot I tell them to really read the faq and the policy before really using mylot.. So then their rank wont be affected by newbie mistakes..

I have the same feelings to. Do you mean the guy/girl who posted topics like role of optometrist, population of India and role and the only thing they posted was it is important? I was kind of laughing out loud. People like that do not even know, I think, what a discussion is. Also, they should read the guidelines before.

There have been many discussions by senior members trying to instruct newbies on the ways of mylot. They give them links to the guidelines & FAQs, make suggestions and just all kinds of help in general. I think a lot of new members come from FB and they think they'll get rich by posting all kinds of nonsense. Some of them maybe don't know what a discussion is. And others post a question and never bother to comment on their responses. When I don't get comments I don't respond to that person's discussions anymore. And, no, many (most?) of them don't read the email they got or the guidelines. I did when I first joined. So, I don't really feel bad for them. I don't understand how you can join any site and say you agree to their terms without even knowing what those terms are. I wonder if offline these same people sign their names to any papers that come their way without reading it first.

Well, maybe they only do selective reading of the FAQs or guidelines, meaning once they have skimmed over the money earning part they just go and post away whatever without bothering to finish the whole guidelines. They might have just the purest intention of being able to make a few extra money, but of course I'm sure they also appreciate that some old timers would really take the time and trouble to int this out to them despite knowing that the whole thread or discussion is going to be deleted anyway. But then, it is really frustrating because we all try to make this site very conducive to some really cool and informative discussions and it would be so if only we would all stick o the ground rules the first time we sign up.

Sometimes people are in too big of a hurry to get started and don't even know where to find the faqs. I feel bad for some of them and used to answer their questions but it ended up getting to the point to where I would just send them a personal message and if they didn't check their messages, then they were losing out on being part of mylot.

To be honest with you, I did not read the FAQs when I first started. I only check or look into them when there is something I need to clarify. Of course, in my Mylot lifetime, I did not get to respond 1 to 2 words since I like to give a piece of my mind whenever I reply to a topic. I'm glad that there is someone like you who takes the time to inform other Mylotters on how to do this right. Just be gentle though. We're here to make friends and learn from one another. Definitely, hats off to you, my friend...
