I'll think twice before I respond.

We should as it is very irritating when you next day a notification saying that your posts have been deleted. It happened to me too yesterday 3 of my posts have been deleted. I will also try first to check the discussion then respond.

hi rekhum you know what? If you would reread the guidelines on making discussions and what breaks the rules then you would have a better chance of avoiding the ones that break the guidelines rules. I have gone back every once in a while and refreshed my own memory on the do nots then applied that to discussions I was going ro respond to and found that four of them really had violated the guidelines like pole and milestone and people just keep right on making them when if they read the do nots they just might learn not to respond to a rule breaking discussion or make one either.. I know its not always sure but most all the time it is really helpful as you know which ones to not touch.That way we get to keep more of our own earnings]

It doesn't bother me that my responses get deleted. I also hope they got the message. These newbies need to learn to read the TOS and the guidelines when they come here though. Every site has rules. Surely Mylot isn't their fist experience with the internet.

I am careful what I respond to here in Mylot, some times it not just the newbies, the post discussions that get deleted, so I have to read the discussion carefully and know when, to comment and when not to comment, because some people just don't care, what they post here in Mylot.

Yeah it happens to me on occassion too. It is kind of annoying but i guess most times i see a thread i assume will be deleted, i still go on and answer if i got something to say. So i cant really blame anyone :p

absolutely. even some of my posts have been deleted. even though some of the new mylotters are starting discussion without reading the terms and conditions of mylot, but what i feel is that instead of blaming them we should also be carefull be fore participating in a discussion. afterall the decision to respond to a particular discussion is ours only na.

i experienced of such notifications. we should be more careful before writing response or discussion. each deletion has some negative impact on our rating.

Such a waste on effort, isn't it? I know how you feel. I have gone through a lot of discussions too which got deleted eventually. This is the main reason why I try to look into the topic first before responding, if I feel that it has a chance of getting deleted (especially if it's obviously breaking mylot rules), I would try avoiding it. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I get notifications all the time about a discussion being deleted that I had responded to. sometimes, I know right away that they will be deleted, and so I will help the user, but telling them it will be deleted, and as to why. you are right, that poll type questions will be deleted, and if the new users would just read the faqs and guidelines, then they wouldn't be starting discussions that will eventually get deleted. We are here to help others, and if that means getting our response deleted because of it, then so be it. I wold hope that our help would do some good, and users will know what they can and can't do in here. Take care, and have a very good day.

That is why let us be alert , reading first two sentences we will already know that it is a poll type of question and sometimes reading alone the title will tell us . True let us not waste our time with Poll type , anyways so many discussion here where we can join.

Yesterday even I got a notification that the post that I responded got deleted... And even one of my post got deleted.. :( As I am new, I didn't knew about it... I wont post such type of posts next time...

I have the same problem as you, a couple of my replies from last weekend got deleted.

This has happened to me quite a lot, too. I have read the guidelines, but I think experience really is the best teacher. I think the questions I responded to were poll-type questions, too. I find poll-type questions interesting, so I think I sort of forgot about the guidelines and jumped right in into answering.

I accidentally started the same discussion twice.I got 3 responses on my discussion even when I had told them that there has been a mistake.Eventually one of my discussion got deleted.I'm really sorry for the ones who responded to my post.Hope they don't get angry on me...

yeah. it happens and we should now know better.hehe its just that mostly newbies would throw questions and these are sure to be deleted, alright. =)

I also think it is good to think twice before posting. I also got some of my answers deleted and I think should be careful in responding and try to prevent discussions from getting deleted.

I just got notification too that my respond has been deleted, because the discussion has been deleted. Right...I almost forget guide lines. But even poll questions can be interesting to respond..oh, well..

It happens to everyone sometimes. Some days I will answer discussions that I know will be deleted, either because they are fun or because I am warning the person that they are breaking the guidelines here. Other times I really don't know if it will be deleted or not, some can kind of go either way but I prepare for it just in case... I don't mind when it happens though. I will still respond to the ones that are too fun to pass up!

You only think twice? I read them 3 times, then think about then 2 more times. Then post to them, and re- read it. Just kidding. Take care there.

yeah in these days i have same problem here on mylot,and i also started a similar discussions, i hate when i get that mails from mylot but its the rule we really need to be careful about the rules and musnt give responses to the poll discussions i think day by day we will understand which discussion is poll which is not happy mylotting
