I know that problem isnt new.I think MyLot admins delete discutions whit or whitout reasons. Today they delete my discution about new World of warcraft expansion because of duplicate post. My post wasnt duplicate i made a search so im sure. I know this discution will be delete too, but i simply dont care. Before deleting people will see my opinion.

First and formost, let me assure you we do not delete discussions for "no reason". We review each and every discussion reported to us before making a decision and we do not go about ranodomly deleting discussions. If the notice you recieved specifically said "duplicate discussion", that means it was litteraly a duplicate copy of a discussion you posted...this sometimes occures when a user has netork issues or other technical issues and a discussion will be duplicate it. In these cases, we simple delete the duplicate and leave he orginal or which ever (has more responses) intact. As I said, all discussions are reviewed, however we do sometimes make mistakes. If you feel your discussion was deleted by mistake or unfairly, we are always perfectly willing to look in to it. But in the future, rather than posting a discussion to lodge your complaint, please use the contact form, as the discussion guidelines state. So, I looked in to your issue. I found that I had in fact deleted it. It does not seem to be a duplicate discussion in fact. You recieved a notice with the incorrect reason given and for that, I apologize. However, the discussion was deleted with reason. Your entire discussion consisted of two sentences, did not really present any discussion oportunity and was more just a simple statement and that was why it was removed. Again I apologize for the error in the text of the deletion notice.

Hi! I think what MyLot meant about "duplicate" is that some other Lotter already has a "similar" discussion. It happened to me too. Although I did make a search about the discussions before I post one and find none but it still comes out as a "duplicate" discussion. I think the reason for this is that maybe the other discussion didn't have enough tags so that's why when we put in our keywords in the search bar, the search engine won't be able to see it. If you encounter this problem you can tick "full-text" in the Search bar options =)

I guess you have to read the rules of MYLOT since they have pointed up some points and if we violated this our discussion will automatically delete by their system. But they do give notice just like one time when they did not post one of my discussion so what i did is to read again the agreement terms. And i know and understand why my discussion has been deleted. Hope this will help you so that your post will not be deleted again.

Hi Demoni.. I am new to Mylot n not much aware of T&C of it but what i feel is injustice to u...even if mylot find some posts similar how come they sure it is duplicate..cant two people think the same thing same way. They must atleast discuss issue with sender before judgement.
