This is not the way

What really gets me is that under the myLot Discussion Guidelines it states under the Don'ts •Start discussions on individual issues you are having with myLot. Please contact myLot via private messages and your issue will be addressed. So that is why they can deleted any such discussion but the they DO NOT address the issues when we PM the issue to them!

hiya Gabs

I think it's a matter of knowing what's what by reading the T.O.S and that they shouldn't have to pay us for discussing it. I would like to know why one of my discussions was deleted (apart from the ones I've self reported) but I do have a good idea why they were and most members with a bit of savvy would/should know why theirs go too. It's always good not to mention specific usernames too, that in itself is a violation, but we all manage to find out through the grapevine who is being discussed. I don't see any violations in this one... but who knows aih? lol

It seems that we can not discuss the things we want changed in my lot. My discussion was deleted saying it was not in the guidelines, it was similar to the one. I had included a letter I wrote to admin.
I feel the same way. I'm totally for admin letting people know what went wrong, what they did, and how long they are suspended or if they are banned. They are left in limbo, not knowing what to do or what they can do.
I do hope that admin changes this rule they have.

Gabs, you have asked some good questions. Communication is an important quality that helps people to understand each other. I agree that the staff or admin should communicate with the members more. It would be a really good thing.

Well its not gone yet! and I kept writting to themn when i was banned and never knew why finally got an answer that I had did something against thier rules think it had to do with copyrights.
Ok I made sure I never do that again!

Well it is annoying over on Yuwie when somebody gets locked, but at least they get a message telling them why. Over here, how hard would it be for the site to generate a system message:

Your discussion "place title here" was deleted because it violated guideline "insert guideline here" or

Your account has been suspended for three days because "insert reason here" or even

Your account has been banned because "insert reason here"

I have only had cause to contact mylot on one occasion and they were very polite
and responded quickly. I think the reason they do not respond to deleted discussions is because there are just to many of them and usually it's in the original rules that the problem lies. Some times I use a word that is not allowed and as soon as I correct it the discussion goes through. But i don't think I have ever had a discussion deleted. But I also know which subjects to stay away from.

Hi gabs,


Still here, wow!! well its like banging your head against the wall when you don't get any answers, but now all is well, so i think we can put this to bed for a while, love and ugs.

Hey gabs~ I agree with you! I still don't know why that we
are still being kept in the dark about these decisons that
are being made about people being banned, suspended or
whatever. If someone makes a mistake unknowingly who has
been here for a long amount of time I think that it is up
to mylot admin to at least explain what they have done wrong
instead of just suspending their account or banning them! I
would think that by now they would know the difference between
who is a trouble maker and who might have just made an error
one time! That is the problem here! If we are never told what
we are doing wrong then how are we supposed to correct it and
not do it again?

I know people say they have done nothing wrong but the thing is..why would the site ban people for nothing. Even though people think they are fine and not doing anything wrong and their friends think they are fine and not doing anything wrong, I'm sure that somehow, some way they are going against the Guidelines or the TOS, probably repeatedly. I don't know who has been banned in this instance but I do know that a coupleothers who have been banned that I was aware of have asked for it...yet all their mates say they did nothing wrong.
