Help has this happened to you? I had just finished a response,clicked
to start response and my response and the discussion to which I'was responding disappeared. mylot says this discussion no longer exists
Okay but I cannot figure out what rule was broken .this same person had made several other new discusions and they are still there but this one was deleted,was something in my response wrong.I told her that I had had one mylotter claim that I had lied about my age and that I really was not 83, and suggested I go back to college,girl.now is there anything in my response that has broken any rules? maybe I am just not'seeing it clearly. help?

if there was something in your response which was wrong (which I have no readon whatsoever to believe would ever be possible) then only your response would go, not the whole discussion.
Maybe it was a repeated topic?

hi folks nope the whole thing discussion and my response was gone so could be another of those wipe outs for my response, but perhaps the discussion was deleted by mylot. I dont think it was a repeated topic but not really sure.

there is a many repeated discussions on here given the similar topics that are talked about so I don't think that would be it.

You never know why a discussion has been deleted. It could have been for a number of different reasons. and yes it has happened to me a few times. the discussion is their when im typing my response, and when i hit the post response button. everything is gone.

hi yes isnt that true and yet I am such an inveterate'want to fixer upper I am always wanting to help people patch up their broken'
friendships. which is not so good as its just interfering and'
not minding my own business either. the next time I will know'better
than to respond to a discussion in which someone is talking about another mylotter, just leads to the disccussion being dropped and my losing more points.

Ah - exactly like real friendship.
They may be friends with you, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're friends with each other!

Hi Hatley, no it wasn't anything you did. When you responded to the discussion, it was there but got deleted before you finished your response so that's why the discussion wasn't there. Not from anything you did, no no no. Mylot associates had deleted it before you had finished typing your response is all. Don't worry!!

There was probably something in that person's discussion that either myLot didn't like or that someone else didn't like and they reported it. It just timed perfectly that when you sent your response, there was no longer a discussion to post it to. You did nothing, I'm certain, to cause it. Someone else did that before you. As for the person who said you lied, they can go pound sand, as my dad would have said. I've seen your writings online and I know that you're as honest as they come. So what if there's not many people in their 80s who use the Internet. That doesn't mean they don't and that they can't. And, this site isn't just for the "babies" of the world. It's for everyone everywhere!! Screw them (to be blunt). Their comments are meaningless and not worthy of response.

Given the number of posts MyLot have to moderate each day, perhaps the finger slips occasionally - by mistake. Has anyone else considered this?

hi polly yes it got deleted as one of the two mylot friends pointed a finger at her mylot friend and thus got her discussion deleted for'breaking a mylot rule,they both messaged me and told me it was not anything that I did.

Well, unfortunately sometimes things like this happen. It could be that myLot removes the discussion just as you are trying to respond back for reasons not always known, or something you posted is not accepted, or sometimes it is just a Glitch in the system here as well. I know personally there are many times when I try responding here, etc. and have issues so usually I just try again and if it still does not work leave here for another time as well.

fault.I am just sorry that the two are so upset with each other.

I do not see anything wrong with your post either. I bet Mylot was already looking at another post in there when you were trying to respond to it. By the time you posted your comment on it, Mylot had already deleted the discussion. I bet that is what happened.

hi people found out why seems two of mylot friends who are'
also friends got at outs and the one who made the last discussion has had hers deleted so lost the discussion and my response boo hoo.

I would say that the discussion was deleted just as you responded which is nothing more than a coincidence because it could not have been your post that caused the deletion.
These things happen Hatley and can be a bit of a mystery. I’ve had discussions deleted ages ago and to this day I still cannot quite figure out what the problem was even after reading the guidelines again but MyLot have their explanation and are justified in deleting items they deem inappropriate for the site and we are obliged to respect that.
By the way I believe your age and I think you are remarkable, wise and yet very young at heart!

hi neelianoscet oh yes the two people involved are mylot friends to each other and are also mylot friends to me help. the last one tomake adiscussion inadvertantly broke a mylot rule and got her discussions deleted. they both messaged me and explained. I did nothing wrong.

From what you say, and the fact that the WHOLE discussion disappeared, as others have said it doesn't sound like its anything you did. I am pretty new here so I don't know if this happens often or what normal protocol is anyway, but I would have thought just YOUR post wouldn't go through if it was anything to do with you.
Maybe something to do with the original poster or subject matter, or just one of those weird technical blips?!

hi friends no I found out from the two people who were involved
'that they were at outs with e ach other and were also mylot friends to each other, so the last one to send a discussion sort of pointing a finger at the other had her discussion deleted just as I s ent my response.

I am not understanding the problem, as I do not know what the deleted discussion was about. A discussion that draws particular attention to another user, by name or other identifying remarks is against the guidelines. Your response would not get an entire discussion deleted. There was something wrong in the discussion. You have a lot younger attitude than 83, and I hope to do as well as you do. I believe you though.

hi gardengerty by other identifying remarks is just what happened
two of my mylot friends got into a sort of fuss at each other andthe last one to make a discussion pointing a finger at the other p erson got her discussion deleted just as I was sendidng my response. both of them were sweet enough to personal message me with their explanations which was gutsy of both of them.seems they were also mylot friends and just got on the outs I seem to have come at the wrong time.whew

i have tried this one once. and i guess i have trouble with my internet connection that time. because when i reset everything. my computer and my internet connection, the discussion is still there. thanks to that.
discussions and response do get to be deleted if it affects mylot and violating the rules. but i guess you didnt do any violations in your responses. and maybe, just maybe mylot found out about that discussion quite offensive. so they deleted it.
so dont worry friend and smile now...
