I am not sure how many times that I have done this.J.J.told me that they must have deleted my post of Martin Goodkin.By saying I typed this in Cap and this is a no no.How am I supposed to know this?I typed in Capital so that it will stand out.I noticed that my second one is gone. Fine,will try this.Happy Birthday to my dear friend Martin. Your day has come and waiting for four years.I know that you are celebrating and enjoy.Say hello to all your friends.Tell us more when your read. Photo is curtsey of Martin D.Goodkin thank you

I think it's quite likely that this is the rule you broke: You must not - "Post personal milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. - This is best celebrated via private messaging with your friends." I copy/pasted that from the guidelines. It seems a bit harsh though.

Or it could be this rule: This is not allowed: "New discussions directed towards only one or a small group of other members - You should use private messaging to chat back and forth with your myLot friends."

We are not supposed to type in capitals. It is considered yelling. That is not a myLot rule that is anywhere on the internet.

Web etiquette says that it is rude to type in upper case only, it is the equivalent of shouting.

From the Guidelines: 1) "Using all-caps, excessive punctuation, or "text speak"" 2) "New discussions directed towards only one or a small group of other members - You should use private messaging to chat back and forth with your myLot friends." 3) "Posting personal milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. - This is best celebrated via private messaging with your friends."
This is where you will find out what kinds of behavior are accepted and unaccepted on myLot. When in doubt, remember the Golden Rule!

Oh my dear @amadeo , that's just one of those internet rules, as people have already commented. But hey, I say what's wrong with yelling out a happy birthday to a friend, right? Happy birthday to Martin!!!

Ya, I think the post was removed because it was a birthday thing.

Posting in all capital letters makes it very hard on the reader's eyes and will guarantee that they will probably not continue reading. Also, huge blocks of print turn a reader off, no one wants to navigate through all that.

It has been a rule here since day 1. At first I was wondering why till I read it was like shouting when you write in all caps.

You did two things against the guidelines the all-caps and the birthday celebration. Here are what is said it not tolerated in the guidelines: Using all-caps, excessive punctuation, or "text speak" Posting personal milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
