Oh my, myLot!

@vandana7 Ha ha very nice.

It does sound like a song, in a way. We all started here sometime so newbies are welcome. Sometimes, they become more like old friends.

I liked mine better

@akalinus For some the thought is that it will still get exposure for the brief time before it is taken down.

Thanks! Some just come on here to pitch their agenda or sell something. It does not help them to do it here.

That is an idea I had not thought of.

@DaddyEvil Sometimes what we think is a violation is not so with Admin and vice versa and this discourages me from reporting.

Honestly, Always smiling, it isn't strange at all that people use a site without ever bothering to read the rules. That is how they live life. They expect the people who follow the rules to either fix their "mistakes" for them or to ignore the rule breaking. That is what our society has trained them to do. Ignore everything! Someone else can fix it for you or they can just ignore that you've done it wrong. Others will see that one breaking the rules and getting away with breaking the rules, so then they do that, too! myLot is just as guilty of doing that as every other place or site on this planet. I can show you "Discussions" on myLot that break the rules here, but when you flag them the Moderators here just take the flag off and let the post go. They don't care that rules are being broken. They just know that their favorite buddy wrote that and he doesn't make mistakes! I have flagged one post here three times and the only thing that happens is my flag is removed. I go by it the next day and can flag it all over again! That sure teaches people what the right thing to do is, right? Okay, I believe I am calm again, Always smiling. (I know you aren't here right this minute, but it still feels like you were and you listened to me rant for a minute or two.) Thank you for that. I really do appreciate it. I have no clue what to do about the problem, but at least I've said something about the problem. Thank you, again. You are always so nice and accepting.

@DaddyEvil I remember a post that many people reported. The admins in their wisdom decided to leave it up anyway.

No different from any other day, then, @MALUSE.

I did not realize that the joke was plagiarized until you pointed it out @MALUSE.

I think maybe since this is the last day of the month, they hope to become fabulously wealthy and make payout.

I was one of many who reported them. The rule breakers either will learn to do it right or they will be out of here.

@akalinus Why is that? Simple: because way too many here don't know the Guidelines and can't recognise a violation. Then there are the others who see it as 'snitching' and don't report anything and hope admin won't notice either

@akalinus Never was a truer word said! Sadly no-one will read your comment as it is too long and appears in a comment thread and people don't have time to read

Yes, why is that? I just tell the writer that they should not do that. They can listen or ignore.

I have read them but not sure where to find them.

@akalinus it's available in help.

@prinzcy See, you found them!

I do tell them when they break the rules. Sometimes, it just takes a few words to set them straight. Others just do what they want until they get kicked off.

@akalinus We can keep saying what is the right thing to do.They do not care.

Some people just want to do what they want to do. Sooner or later, they get deleted because they don't want to adapt to the job.

@silvermist If they don't care, no one can make them care.

@akalinus Sorry, @vandana7's song set me off...

That's a little extreme. A nice comment of warning usually does the trick.

@pgntwo I liked @vandana's song, too.

Basically that IS what they do, Judy. The first sentence in the Terms of Use Agreement for myLot says: "If you wish to become a Member, you must read this Agreement and indicate your acceptance during the Registration process." So when they began using this site, they didn't need to tick the box. Using this site means they agreed to all terms and conditions listed by myLot.

There were a couple here earlier. One had just enough English in it for me to realize he/she was selling something.

They really aren't that hard and there is plenty to talk about without violating them. I am sure you will do very well here especially if you take your own photos as suggested in your name on here.

@WanderPhotog Welcome to the site. I am looking forward to your posts.

@akalinus Thanks, Jo Ann. Yes - the photos will be original. I don't write jokes but I did write a (clean) limerick a couple months back - published it on a different site, though.

@sumit21 That is true. Many think they can write a bunch of posts and make money. Here, we make money when people respond to our posts. There aren't that many rules but some want to break them.

@gardengertie Most people do learn after making a few mistakes. I am sure they get warnings before being banned.

I think the newcomer people does not have the full conception about mylot,what is it and how it work and how they used.As it is opened for all ,everyone thinks and works on their own opinion ,and they does not know and care about the guideline and policy of this site

Well, hello, Reine! It has been a long time since I've seen you sneaking around on the same discussions I am on... How have you been doing? (I actually thought you must be grinding away at work again so didn't have time to myLot.) It is wonderful to see you! I hope everything is going well for you and your family?

@DaddyEvil hey DE!! Like i want to run and hug you seriously, yes. Miss you. How are you? How's pretty?

You can jump in without reading the rules. It is like diving into a lake. If you don't know what is there, you could find yourself in trouble.

Yes, always something new and unexpected.

@akalinus Yeah

If you haven't done it, you should. Rules are rules and you will break them if you don't know about them.
