This sure is an effort - " something that does not violate guidelines"

Happy New Year to you too

@allknowing yeah and a little bit of common sense so as to be sensitive as to what site owners do not like.

@louievill Common sense is, alas, rare. Definitely not commonplace anyway.

Posts which are merely a 'greeting' are covered by the Guidelines and are considered 'milestone' posts or 'nothing of substance' and are regularly removed. First of all, you may see a post, then move on and not notice when it is deleted and, second, of course, if you don't see it, you have no knowledge that it ever existed (unless you posted it yourself!).

@allknowing Something like that shouldn't do but it depends on whether Admin sees it or not. Members can help, of course, by reporting anything they feel doesn't have enough substance.

@owlwings That is the shortcoming of this system. Admin depends a lot on reporting and reporting is not always done.

I just searched for them using the tag 'new year' and I lost count of the number. Would according to you a one line discussion such as "Happy New Year's Eve Everyone! What are your plans for this evening?" and similar ones survive the axe?

I'm not bothered but honestly, I have skipped a few similar posts. I miss the old myLot but hey, we have the new one so I really don't want to complain. Happy New Year to you!

i think it''s hard to check for duplicates first before posting. i wonder if such greetings and well wishes only (with nothing else of value added) falls under "Discussions, responses or comments that offer little or no value"?

Yes it is difficult to check for posts about a topic before posting your own. And I have lost count of the number of times I have started reading from the top of "Their Discussions", only to return and find several posts interspersed between ones I have read that were not there the first time around!

I was not around for the old Mylot, but do not mind people wishing me a happy new year as long as they say a bit more than that in their post. Just Happy New year and nothing more would not be a proper post so I would pass on by.

But if you decide to comment on such posts can you count the number of times you as an individual would have to wish back?

even here I think it is technically not allowed as milestone posts are still against the rules

admin is either on holiday or cutting a lot of people some slack

They are harmless so it doesn't bother me

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Just because you see a post doesn't mean that it won't be removed after you've seen it (and you may well not remember that it existed and so won't be aware that it was deleted). Also, of course, if you never see a post, you're unlikely to know that one has been removed (unless you study the number sequence).

@owlwings That I have noticed. One of my posts was deleted and I only came to know when I looked at my "discussions" But in this case why should posts be deleted as, such a rule does not exist.

Well, it is true there were a lot of things that were better with this site back when it paid more. But since I have just come back here and active again I will have to see what I really think after being here again for a while.

It is no problem for me to see so many greetings here. After all, different people have different ways to show their greetings. I don't think there is something wrong with it. As long as they are not copied ones, that's fine with me.

Was it not allowed in the old MyLot? I do think there are still some guidelines that have to be followed of course. Anyway - hope you have a great New Years.

I don't mind them. But I don't add to them either. Many people add a little more to their post than just Happy New Year. Is it a big celebration in India?
