Why oh why oh why ... did I just waste my time?!

I've had that happen several times...it's like, I'm glad the post gets removed, because it violates the rules...but I at least would've liked to have got my response posted first.

If the box opens and allows us to respond then the discussion has not yet been deleted. It then happens while we are composing the response and THEN when we submit do we get the surprise.

Been happening a heck of a lot recently too. Guess they are having a clamp down on offenders - and about time too!

Hello,
I hope this one will not delete too. seem like you have been here a while already, then you should know that Mylot has a touch rule for us. So never and ever start any discussion or respond to any discussion that talking about MYLOT. they will remove with no question ask. Good luck and im sorry to hear that... i have so many discussion were delete even my discussions were not against mylot. too bad

Mylot will definitely help with your typing speed since you seem to be as addicted to the site as everyone else is. Yes, there are a lot of discussions that feature things against guidelines, and while your fingers are itching to type and begin to do so... it gets deleted! phhooey am I right?

Well I hope you have a wonderful day!

I think I know the discussion you mean (C&P??)

A few members, a couple of them are above me here, including myself do try to help newer members when their discussions are going to get deleted.

We have lost so many posts doing this that there is no point even trying to estimate their number

Here is a tip for you.......don't bother writing a long explanation as you are wasting your time...just leave links to the guidelines/FAQs with a short C&P 'd section of the relevant rule violation.

Then you won't lose so much time when your post gets deleted along with the discussion you posted on.

Hey there jazzsue58

That sure is annoyig isn't it? When I hadn't reached 500 posts it would happen to me frequently, nothing to do with the discussion being deleted I was responding to just me taking too long I think to say what I wanted to. It would just not register what I had typed and I would have to start all over again but be quicker about it. Since I passed 500 posts I have not had the problem!!

That happen to me to, I was typing my response to a discussion, and I click the post response button, and then I found out the post didn't go through, there was nothing I could do, the person that posted the discussion, knew she/he shouldn't have posted that discussion, and knew it was basking Mylot rules I hoped they got banned from Mylot.

You definitely waste your time, but without mylot, you will select facebook or twitter. People always need something to waste their lives, since you can still earn a little bit money from mylot. It is not bad one.

jazzsue58,
i can relate to what you feel. i think it will really be of help if there will be PROMPT for us mylot users to know if a particular discussion is deleted due to some violations of mylot rules.
what do you think are the signs that a discussion is violating a rule of mylot? i know that we need to refer to mylot rules from time to time but due to excitement respond to as many discussions as we want sometimes we overlook the fact that such discussion is violating a rule.
enjoy mylot-ing

hi jazzsue85 thats happened to me several times and i never knew whether it happened while i was typing or before.I am a very slow
typist so who know but like you I aLso love it so much.but you hate
to lose all that long hard work.
