Do you think each and every discussion that we are doing here are monitored and evaluated. Millions of people are take part in every day and is it possible for myLot admit to verify all for a quality control. Whenever we are getting certain notifications it is evident that they usually go through certain discussions. What you say?

I say that the idea is to go through each one at some given point, but as the Admins are human I am sure they can't keep up. They do expect us as members to help and report if we see violations as this will help them quickly determine if they are in fact or not. So yes anything that is a vilations they do review as they would not delete if it was not, no matter if we do report discussions, and if admin finds they are not violations they will not remove them.

no no no we mylotters cannot delete anything. we may report but if mylot says its okay it will not be deleted. people keep saying we mylotters go around deleting discussions., wrong we cannot do such a things. do you see any tabs marked delete for us to use. this is a myth that just defies common sense. HWG just said even if we report one we cannot delete it, that is only the prerogative of mylot admins. we do not delete each others post. that would be hideous' if we could as some would not play fair.to hit report does not delete anyone's discussion . all that does is show the admins 'what you think is wrong,then if they agree they do delete it but if they say no its not wrong they do not delete it at all.please listen here we do not,cannot delete responses, comments or discussions either. reporting is not deleting them at all.

Therefore I think the deletion comes in 2 ways. One, the question delete by the users itself and on the other hand, when it found in appropriate, admin removes saying that the question under the discussion were deleted. This means our answer to the discussion also become invalid.

yes..i think they maintain the quality...and i think there is a team working on it...because it doesn't take a long time for your discussion to be deleted if ti is objectionable...and i appreciate that they are very quick on it...though sometimes i feel that they are bit extra strict...

Yes, most of the responses and its implications can come to know in the next day. I think they are come with their responses within 24 hrs. time. It is noticed that whenever i login for the next day, I used to get the notification if any, means within 24 hrs time we can come to know the effects.

Hi thanks: I not just think that they monitor the discussions on the site. I have experienced how some discussions are deleted just a few minutes after they are post so the answer for me is a big yes. They have the people to do the job and at the same time we can help mylot by reporting the discussions that violate the guidelines. ALVARO

Hi Alva, Right, even I have the feeling that they are monitors about what is happening around what all discussions are in process. Once they identify that something is against the way, we will get notification either by deletion or the question under has been deleted. Only thing, our valid time become a waste when the topic itself is removed. Thank-s

Surely it is very hard.. That's why we having ! button to help admin. We can use it to tell the admin about any suspicious activity on mylot. And also mylot admin is good in this work. Yes it may be hard but still GAA and other staff doing great work here.

Yes, by reporting our comments by pressing the (+),(-),(!) buttons gives an indirect indication and by which they can close monitor many of such discussions. Also, through their specific programs also would be helping them to identify such movements form the users.

I think it is random, and I think it is impossible for them to monitor all discussions. Imagine this. Mylot has almost 244,000 members. How can the admin monitor all of their posts in one day, and do it everyday

with sophisticated soft ware and plenty of help too. software makes things move fast,more than you can imagine also remember not all 244000mnembers are active and active all at the same time. a lot of them have accounts and are counted but are not putting out any posts here at all.so I would say maybe only 25 percent are actually mylotting right now if that many.

Hi thanks, I think they have moderators and editors who are doing their job round the clock and to do it effectively, they need to go through all the discussions.We get to see some discussions being deleted sometimes after they have even become the top discussions for the day..So I am sure that the discussions are being read and verified for quality control!all the best

Hi Kiran, Yes, that is what they do. However, as they have not mentioned the exact way of doing it, there may be certain accepted methods or norms they follow to control or monitor our discussions. Anyway, they will not disclose the method to the public as every company has their own way of doing it. Best Regards

I believe actually that mylot does go through each discussion everyday that was new only because i do around 25 responses a day and find that maybe 2 or 3 were deleted because they were already discussions that were mentioned here on facebook or have not met the guidelines here on mylot. Therefor with that saying i believe that mylot does go through all the dsicussions and then figueres out which ones to delete. I believe its good they do that too so there arent double the discussions on here as well.

I am agree with lolo you are right mylot goes through all the discussion so they choose the best 10 means they are checking each and every discussion
• India

Hi all, Even my understanding is also same that they do check most of the discussions. Only thing there may be a group or team of people has assigned for this task and as per their instructions the rest of the process may be happening.

Yeah! I guess the discussions are checked and examined by an external body on Mylot who monitor the responses, that's why some discussions that violate the guidelines get deleted. But it's hard to believe that there may be someone actually reading all of these discussions and posts. How can you be bothered to read ever one word?! I already have trouble just reading a post

That is a very good discussion topic, but I have thought about this on my own, and this is my personal opinion. Moderate, yes. Read every discussion...no. I believe that there are many senior mylotters here who help out by their ratings and abuse symbols. I also believe that if there as been attention brought to you in a corrective way or you have made a fuss in anyway about how you feel mylot is or hasn't handled something the way you think they should and, of course, they will know, I believe they keep a close eye on you until you straighten up. I believe there are people here who have pretty much proved themselves to write articles of good character and answer with good character, or if they don't admin knows them welll enough that they just think 'well, that's Jack, or 'well that's Jill'. She doesn't mean any harm. And I believe that they don't look at their discussions unless they have something brought to their attention by another mylotter during ratings. Sooooooo....that's what I think.

One thing is sure that the monitoring system is fine so that everyone will try to be with a better norms and once they experience that what kind of discussion can be acceptable and controversial topics may get deleted. Many of the discussions can easily make out if they end up with a question mark, short questions, yes/no questions etc. So, certain method of filtering through the program itself will help to check the discussions and similarly automated mechanism helps to remove or filter such discussions to an extent.

hello thanks, I know there are few mylotters who are helping GAA for this matter. And we should also take part to report those who are abusing mylot and are trying to abuse mylot. I am not sure how mylot admin were able to check every topic and responses ,but I am sure they have ways to detect and check those violators. have a good day

Hi, Even I have the feeling that their software program with a filtering mechanism would help to identify such situations and it will get automatically deleted or come under notification. As most of the cases can be observed and monitored by such programs, monitoring by manual process can be reduced and most of the cases were get detected by this program and they will be in a right way to control such things. Thank-s

I believe that they really monitor each comments here otherwise those duplicate and topics that violated the rules would have not been deleted. Mylot also compensates us depending on the quality of response we post here. Whether it is human or simply just a software, that I do not know, but one thing for sure, there is an existing quality control.

Surely there might be a kind of observation and checking through certain software which will isolated them and if found, we will get notifications and such reminders. However, due to such initiative, the improper movement from the users can be minimised.

They must be monitored by software because I have been asked to remove offending language which is not offending at all. When describing a female dog the word b-tch was regarded as mature content! I had to change it to female dog!! Obviously it was in the vocab of some software that was short sighted.

For the most part, I do believe that the majority of the discussions are monitored I don't know what their criteria might be in this case, but I have on numerous occassions gotten notifications that some of my discussion/comments have been deleted due to violations. Luckily for me it doesn't happen often, but it does happen. So yes I do believe that mylot monitors most of the discussion that are posted on this site, which I personally think it is done in a positive note rather than a negative one.

The sad part of such situations are our waste of time. Unknowingly we would give response to some of such topics and the next day we will get a notifaction that the question to your response has been deleted. If we got such 5-6 deletions, our effort will invain due to the topics which are in appropriate. In such cases, the topics must be deleted immediately it got in circulation.

I know that sometimes it is a waste of our time and effort, but just the other day I got a notification that one of the discussion I participated was deleted. Which kind of bothered because I thought that the discussion didn't violate any terms, but oh well what can we do. At least like you said they are deleted immediately instead of waiting a few days to notify us.

Yes I think every discussion here is monitored and evaluated, for whom? For my lotters friends so when a mylotter see a discussion that is out of context they report it and staff delete it. And I think the staff not depend only of my lotters friends I think they do their job, but they with help of us.

I think there is multiple way of monitoring thins and the discussions are monitored in such a way and that is the reason why by 24 hrs. of time our discussions are notified and if found inappropriate, deleted.

Exactly, they have a lot of ways to check or supervise our actions here. For example esterday I received a messages telling me that a discussion that I began have being deleted, and it happends after a mylotter friend comment and said that it was an interesting poll discussion, so I think that there friends that are supervisors too.

Yes, ofcourse. Because some discussion that violate the rule has been easily deleted after 24 hours everyday.

There is probably some setting they use to monitor the discussions....and that would be way over my head. But yes it seems like they do monitor what we say and do.....
• India

Yes, that is the fact. Only thing, it is the curiosity to know how they do the process. Probably can be processed through specific programs and which automatically does 99% of this duty and depending on the technique of the program, this process can be easily done.

I do not think mylot monitors each and every discussion, response and/or comment. I have seen some discussions or responses that may have broken some mylot rules but have been here for years. Whereas some other similar discussions have been deleted deleted because they were deemed to have contravened the rules. My conclusion is that mylot monitors the discussions that people report to them and they probably selectively monitor other discussions.

There is more chances for what you mentioned here. Whenever we make a mention through or symbol reminders, those strings will be getting indications and by the help of the program, they can easily highlight the ones which are populated. In this way, the users itself give indirect indication of the remarks which in turn comes to notification and deletions.

HI thank-s I think yes. I read that some are getting frustrated when deleting their topics after a long timeā€¦ which proves that mylot admin is going through each and every topic. If anybody reported the violations quickly then the topic will delete soon otherwise it may take time but definitely a violated topic will get a cut. This is what I learnt from my experience.

Yes, ever I think so. They are monitoring in all respects that is why at any point of time, unwanted things are removed with notifications.

I think yes, but not all, since members are really a lot, but each members may have the authorization to help mylot, for quality of the discussion content and i hope mylot provides report button also if the content is not appropriate or against the rules

Yes they do similar process to curb such things. It will be helping for the users as well as for the betterment of the company also.

Mylot should have a group of moderators monitoring all our post here because of the number of members as well as trolls around. Those moderators have to work extra hard and they have to be on standby as mylot is an international site, catering to everybody in different time zone. Notifications would surely go through, except that there would be some time gaps.
• India
28 Sep 11
Yes, notifications comes in most times within a period of 24 hrs. and if we come to know that those topics are restricted, prior to attempting the topic, we could save the time instead of wasting time to answer such discussions. Once we respond to a discussion and our discussion is deleted due to the discussion topic get deleted. Means, our expected earnings get nullified.

hi, i think our created discussions and posted comments and response are always evaluated by the admin of this site because i can still receive some notification from mylot.and maybe they are not only but many so that they can accommodate our blogs.

They may be doing it by the way how they are designed it they may be some kind of tracking or follow up with the discussions. But I have my doubts that they are not fully scanning each and every discussions which is taking place within myLot. Regards
