Announcements Masquerading as Discussions  |
| |
| I cannot tell you how many times I have seen people post things as "discussions" which are best suited to private messages between friends. My biggest pet peeve is the phenomenon of "I'm leaving MyLot" discussions (if you can call them that). A user creates a discussion announcing their departure from MyLot stating whatever reason for the departure. The "discussion" usually gets LOTS of responses, and the original poster never actually leaves. I have yet to see one of these people who announce they are leaving MyLot actually go. With over 143 THOUSAND users, even if the person has hundreds of friends, this sort of thing hardly merits posting as a discussion and is really something that should be conveyed as a private message to one's friends only. Most of the people who post these types of "discussions" have caused much discord among other users and I suspect that they are just creating yet another opportunity to cause trouble in the MyLot community, paint themselves as a victims, and get sympathy for themselves - all the while earning those MyLot pennies for the "discussion". Have you witnessed this phenomenon? What do you think about it? | | | | | |

| | That is also at the top of my peeve list. I have not made myself very popular by calling the departed out when a day or hours later they are back making new posts. IMO is is a just ploy get some pity responses or to be begged not to leave, that they are loved!!! These folks must have no self esteem. I have given a couple of them the benefit of the doubt but until just lately all but one have reappeared. If and when I leave I will perhaps PM a couple of my friends to let them know. I would be ashamed to show my face if I posted such a spectacular farewell and then start posting as if nothing had ever been said. | | | | | | |

| | Almost every time I sign into myLot I see someone announcing that they're leaving because they're being "stalked" or something. These discussions can get up to 100 responses from people begging them not to leave. Then they end up not leaving. Then maybe two weeks later they do it again and this time they really mean it. Except they don't mean it and they stay on myLot. Then the whole thing starts again a week or two later. I don't really care what anyone wants to start a discussion about but it can get boring having to trawl through endless discussions about people leaving. I've gotten a few rude comments in my time but I sorted it out in my own way rather than announce that I'm leaving just to see would people beg me to stay. | | | | | | |

| | I agree. You know the old saying "MISERY LOVES COMPANY". Sometimes people just love to complain and gripe about things that others may never notice. I guess they think if they spill their negative feelings out to enough people, they just might be able to rock the boat a bit and take a few with them (IF they do really decide to go for good :) What they don't realize is for every ONE who "takes their toys to another playground", they are quickly replaced with many more who appreciate the advice and help they get from MyLot. I am not disgruntled at all, but if I were to get upset and choose to leave, I think I'd just do it quietly. It's not that big of a deal, really! | | | |

| | This is also one of my biggest pet peeves. It's actually a very childish thing to do I think. Like stomping your feet when you can't get your way. "I'm running away cause everybody is being mean to me waaaaaaaaa" LOL. | | | | | | |

| | This actually sounds like someone I worked with who EVERY day said "I should just leave this place!" Last I knew, (and I worked there 10 years ago) she's still there! I also agree that it's an attention thing. Like someone saying "Oh, my hair looks just awful today!" when they really want you to tell them how great they look. Grow up. | | | | | | |

| | I have responded to these a few times. When I do, it is because I'd rather the person stay, but really, if someone really intends to go, they just do. | | | | | | |
