Sad so...sad.

First off...WELCOME TO MYLOT!!! Second...I must agree with the others...read the Guidelines, Terms of Service, Earnings Guidelines, FAQs as soon as possible. Since you're only earning a few cents a day, you won't be losing very much money. I remember when I first started I was only earning a little bit a day. So, I decided to maximize my effort!!! Every day BEFORE logging onto myLot, I first went to the Guidelines & read them to refresh my memory as to what the rules were. I found that began to increase my earnings as I was skipping over the bad discussions & recognizing the good discussion where I could earn more. The more you say, the more you earn. I also started looking at discussions that were responded to by veteran myLotters. If there weren't many responses from members who had been here for a good length of time, I'd skip over that discussion & go to one that had more member support. After a while I began to pay attention to what discussions that were deleted pertained to & began to know BEFORE responding which discussions were going to be deleted. Every now & then I'll find a discussion that I know is going to be deleted, but I decide it's worth the few cents I'll earn to say what I feel the urge to say. Yes, It may get deleted, but the owner of the discussion will get a copy of what I said. Since you've indicated that you don't have a lot of time to waste here, why not spend your time more wisely & read the Guidelines over & over until you learn them??? I think you will find you will earn more with less effort!!! Good luck learning & earning on myLot!!!!

Hello MeNme, its only been a few of your responses that were deleted, i have been here for a year now, and if my count is correct, i have 28 discussion deleted and several responses too, When i started here i could not get a discussion working, they always told me to read the guidelines. so i am sharing this to you so you could understand the guidelines before you start posting, Welcome to mylot and happy my lotting http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx

what is sad is that you quite evidently did not take the time and patience to read the tos the guidelines here, the rules of dos and donts of discussions so you can pick out only those you see have not broken any lot rule. all you needed to do was learn the rules of making discussions then you will respond or comment whatever term you wish to use only on the discussions you see are good discussions that have broke no rules. Now come on look at a discussion with its responses and comments as a tree with branches okay a poisoned tree is cut down ie a discussion is deleted so what happens to the comments and reesponses branches on it? they also fall too. in other words the software on mylot has no way to just sustain the branches ie the comments and responses as the tree that contained them has bit the dust. so know the rules then check that the discussion you wish to respond to has not broken a mylot rule. a good clue McNme1 is if there is only one response or no response it shows us my lotters know this discussion has broken a mylot rule and we will not respond. do not respond to iffy ones and you will not lose your earnings.

It is very sad when our response to a discussion deleted. I feel what I do is in vain. My response is alsofrequently deleted. But I have never experienced my response deleted because the discussion in the clear by the Maker of discussion. But discussions are deleted by admin.

i think this is not a new thing to happen.. it is always happening......nothing to worry about this.........

HiMeNme1, Please don't beat yourself up over a deleted response, I have no doubt that it has happen to many members, old and new. Just keep looking for the right discussions and respond to those. I have had a few deletions myself, but I don't sweat the small stuff, I just keep on keeping on. If the discussion you respond to is not within the guidelines, it will get deleted, but that is no fault of yours, your were just trying to support a member. There is no reason to beat yourself up for supporting members. You must keep a positive attitude, if you plan on sticking around myLot for a while. you will have good days where everything will be fine, but you will have some not so good days where something may get deleted. Take it as a grain of salt and move on to the next positive day.
