Reporting......... What you think about reporting in mylot

There is a lot of information here, and a lot of things to discuss. Alright, here we go ... I do not believe that discussions are deleted just because they are reported. I am pretty sure that one of my discussions was reported and yet was not deleted, because it was not a violation, even though some people did not like it. I do not think that people that report violations are villains. I know that myLot asks us to report things when we see a violation, so they are just doing what they are asked to do. I think that people that negatively rate other people just because they do not like them or agree with what they are saying are a kind of villain, but that is an entirely different discussion, although that is also addressed in the Guidelines. MyLot Admins have stated many times in many different places that discussions and responses/comments do not have to be reported to be deleted. Everything that we do on here is monitored, and if they see a violation they will delete it period - no reporting necessary. They also said that our reporting helps them to find and remove inappropriate material and Guideline violations more quickly, but they can and do remove things even if they are not reported. Helping to keep the site clean and user friendly, though, helps to keep the sponsors here and therefore allows us users to keep getting paid, so why would anyone be against this as many have stated that they are here for the money. If this is true, then I would think that they would absolutely be for people reporting any and all violations. I would not think that someone was against me for reporting it if I were violating the Guidelines. I would think they were against me if they just reported a bunch of stuff that I did because they didn't like me. However, we do not know who reports what and why, so it really doesn't matter. I have actually reported myself, when I accidentally responded to a discussion twice with the same comment due to a computer glitch.

Call me naive but I have never reported anyone here. Even when I was furiously attacked by trolls I have to send SOS to friends to get me out and was coached how to reach admin desk to make a report. Though I have many of my discussions deleted I am still blur as to why others want to report my discussions which I carefully crafted with the guidelines in mind. But I believe admin knows better and would not hesitate to strike those discussions that don't meet their approval. We have to act professionally as matured individuals and accept in good faith when friends report our discussions and should not keep grudges. We should always maintain goodwill in mylot.

i think some people might just be crying over spilt milk when reporting others. their way of reporting is almost like a automatic reflex rather then actually thinking about what the person posted. the posting by other mylotters may not be the nicest of comments at times but it could be much worse in real life. its not like commenters are killing someone or doing very violent things when posting comments. i find it of funny people get upset so easily over some comments on mylot. some mylotters are just too sensitive and soft when reacting to comments.

People should only report people who purposely break the rules. If you are new and don't know what your doing you should get a warning and that should be that. If they do it again, then someone should report them. And if someone was to report me, yes I would think of them as a villain. But you also have to think in their perspective. They were just doing their job as a member. For example, if you saw someone robbing someone else's house you would tell and the robber may think of you as a villian, but you really aren't. You were just protecting your community. So in some ways reporting may be good and bad. Depends on which side you are on and what your view is on it.

Well someone should only be reported if it's against the rules other than that there should not be any excuse you know.

I think only unnceptable written stuffs should be reported, like too much hate, something awful, racism, violence or spam. When it is too much. Maybe that's what's keeping MyLot cool the way it is, the first thing for social network is people being nice, united I think.

Some people who are jealous and tried to sabotage some members trying to give negative feedback and sometime report the thread itself. Yes you could consider them as villain, I have once seen a thread here about tutorial of how to earn money from videos, he didn't even mentioned a name of the sites but he talks in general that you might know what are the sites he was talking he give tips and ideas and so far the first and the best tutorial that I have seen so far. I bookmarked that page but after a few days it was been deleted I PM the one who start the thread and he said he think some one have reported it. I don't think it is about someone who reported but there is something on his thread that people don't want to be shared, what it is? Competitors! yes other who give such great ideas like that will result a lot of competitors. I guess villain is not the right word for that but instead selfishness.
