mylot guidelines... did all of you guys read it before you start mylot?

Yes I did. I think it is what every newbie should do specially if they are not familiar with the site. It prevents you from making mistakes that sometimes would cost you your membership. It pays to read the guidelines.

I did not that is why most of my post here years ago when I was new here were deleted. But I know the basic rules so even if mylot added new rules it doesn't bother me anymore.

Well the first couple of weeks that I was here, I do admit that I only just barely skimmed them at best. After I got a couple of topics deleted, then I really decided to set aside some time and really read that. I think that has helped me create topics that are not going to get deleted. Sure there is an exception here and an exception here, but that's to be expected. Nobody's perfect after all. Still in the end, I do try and take another look at them ever so often. It is always good to have a refresher course. To make sure that you are on the straight and narrow and really do keep posting on the website in a productive manner, that really just keeps with the spirit of the community. Still, who does want to waste time with posts that might get deleted?

Welcome to mylot Honestly speaking when i joined this great i didn't read, but with experience, now i know which ones to respond, but still at times i get such notices like, my response was deleted because the original discussion was deleted.. Best of luck. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani
