Have You Ever Deleted a Response on MyLot?

myLot is a place for us to write discussions. The comments we receive are what makes a discussion interesting and more fun. However, sometimes I don’t care for a comment. I either ignore it, give it a like, say thank you, or feel as if I have to defend my post. I have never deleted someone else’s comment on purpose just because I didn’t like what they said. Have you?

Yes, I have. I started getting inappropriate responses to my Daily Bible Study. I added a sentence that I would accept only topic-related comments. It's the only time I delete a comment from a post.

You certainly had a good enough reason to delete that.

If people aren't interested or object to a post, they should just move on and keep their negative opinions to themselves. Serves no purpose to harass someone.

I didn’t even know we had the option to delete someone’s comment. So obviously that shows I have never felt the need to do so! Lol

Good! Btw, they are under the comment section with the Like, Comment, Tag, and Report options just in case!

@DianneN Oh yes, now I see it! Can't believe I've never noticed a "delete" feature there before! I hope I don't get trigger-happy with that delete button now that I know it's there!

I did once, I cannot stand that someone can jump in one of my discussions to praise a politicians, when the discussion had nothing to do with politics. Usually I ignore the meaningless comments, at most I like.

@DianneN The comment was not even direct, someone stepped in the middle of a discussion with another user, very rude.

No, I haven't. I never know the intention behind a comment so I can ignore the comments I don't like. If I ever got a truly vicious comment, I would leave it for all to see.

Yes I have because it was someone who blocked ME and they commented on comments my post. They had no right. But he is no longer here so that is all good, no one ever gets verbally abused anymore. But no I don`t because we are all different and sometimes I learn from others, sometimes a lesson of how to be a better person, sometimes I am not the most sensitive person.

Yikes! Someone cruel has done that to me, too. I am extremely sensitive, but not a fool who can’t take a comment and feel the need to delete it. Makes me wonder if they delete because they are wrong and the other person right, or if they are embarrassed due to being not right in the head.

I think the only responses I have deleted were the spam stuff but of course eventually they would disappear anyway. Otherwise I've never deleted comments - good or bad - I mean, I know I can, but I just don't. Happy New Year, DianneN!! Hope you and your family are doing well. I'll try to get back here .

I can't remember deleting one but I know when I first came here I asked a question and someone was a bit rude saying it had been asked a million times before and I should read the FAQ. It made me feel awkward and I considered deleting her comment.

@DianneN Some people just aren't friendly. I would just ignore a rude comment now as I feel more confident than when I first started here. I'm a very sociable person and don't want to fall out with anyone.

That was very rude! Many of us post similar topics without knowing who else is posting the same thing. It’s happened a lot to me, too. I’m glad you didn’t delete it, but I would never respond to a comment like that. People!

@sprite1950 That’s very mature of you. I feel the same. I’m here for interacting with my friends, have some laughs, and fun. I definitely don’t want to deal with the types of people I avoid in real life. Life is too short.

I didn't even know we could delete comments. I don't think I'd want to delete any comments. But I think if it was particularly offensive, I'd do it. There's no need for people to be nasty.

I agree that there is absolutely no need to be offensive on here, yet some people just are that way naturally and can’t help themselves. Yes, it’s easy to delete comments if you don’t like what someone says, However, I think that’s terribly rude. I just end it with a like and move on.

@DianneN Totally agree! I'm the same but sometimes I simply won't roll over and just take it. A few years ago when I first joined MyLot, I was driven away by that sort of conduct. I'm glad to see that it seems to have changed for the better :)

Nope. This is the first time I heard it, but most of the time I read some of the bloggers report those kind of short comments coz its against the rule. But I guess it is rude to delete those comments. I hope this will not going to be a culture on this site. God bless.
