Violation and Reported

I should have, but no I didn't. I try to skip past the things I don't want to see.

With the members increasing there will also be more reporting and, sadly, more to report. Did you report the offending post that you mention?

I agree with the idea of reporting the discussion if the post is offensive or if it has referral links in it. We all know that we can't put referral links in a discussion, but direct them to a PM or to your profile. I can even understand the argument about multiple posts, but how can an individual determine what is an innocent question although perhaps similar to another but asked from a different viewpoint, and one that is just blatant copies. Some seem to slip on through the net, while others get penalised for nothing. Happy MyLotting

... and I mumbled on and on as usual Good to see ya!

Thanks mysdianait, don't mind the mumbling on, I do it all the time when I get my teeth into something, I just go on and on. So I take it that you don't normally respond to the discussions with the Violation in the tag ? So that also means if someone wanted to be a bit nasty, they could follow you around and Tag and report each discussion just to put people off it. Mind you, I feel it is strange that with so many discussions on tasks the last day or so, that more have not been removed. Happy MyLotting

The bit about the mumbling was for Myklj - we have a race to see who answers first and he thought that I thought that he was still at work I did actually and that's why I mumbled on more than usual - and he got first place (again! ). As for the rest... So I take it that you don't normally respond to the discussions with the Violation in the tag? Some of the tags could well be mine but that does not mean I don't respond. I requently offer explanations on discussions that will get deleted (those pertaining to anything already in the FAQs such as earnings, stars, ratings, milestone etc.) because it's inmy nature tooffer advice. I can spare a few points too to help a newbie once in a while in the hope that they will listen (and some do). So that also means if someone wanted to be a bit nasty, they could follow you around and Tag and report each discussion just to put people off it. Ifthe tags are not already full anyone can add anything. When I see a discussion with empty tags, whether I respond on it or not, I fill them up. Mind you, I feel it is strange that with so many discussions on tasks the last day or so, that more have not been removed. They will ALL go if the are repeats, milestones or talking about earnings eventually. Just watch them. One day myLot will be in this interest and suddenly several pages will be empty (then the complaints will start and they will go too!). Jason this time I mumbled at you - but you did ask a lot of questions LOL!

Yes stephcjh, as I have seen from the posts above, apparently when people notify admin with a violation, they automatically add a Violation Tag so to warn other members that this discussion could be removed. Thanks for your response, Happy MyLotting

Well I am starting to think I want reply now, I have only just noticed it to be fair, but what has striked me is that there seems to be so many with the violation tag on it, as if someone has just gone round out of spite and tagged them all like that in a twisted fun type of way. I presume that Admin look at the discussion first, to see if it is actually a violation of the rules. Happy MyLotting

There's been far too much of it lately. It's a steady influx of new users who are doing that. And most of them are promoting the same programs, most, if not all of the sites they're promoting are scams. Those are the ones really needing to be reported.

If there is one response with a referral link then only that ONE response will be deleted - unless the discussion is a violation in the first place.

Thanks benny for your reply, I also have noticed an incredible increase in the amount of referral links that are being posted, mainly in the Extra money sections. Now if it is by the orginal poster, then that is just blatant abuse of the rules and what these discussions are about, and in those cases, they should be reported, otherwise they will always keep doing it, but what annoys me is when you have answered a discussion and several replies later after yours some one puts a referral link in and you think WHY ?
