So I had launched a discussion called President Obama Recieves Nobel Peace Prize after 11 days in Office! A Record? .. and all I wanted to know was if any other US President had recieved one faster than this or if this was a new record. I never got to tag it... then no one could respond to it... and NOW there is a tag that I DIDN'T put on there! It reads: it was a bribe ... now WHO would have done that? I would NEVER have put that as a tag!! What is going on with my account? Anyone else have anything weird happen to their MyLot account lately?

It's not your account. Anyone can tag any discussion without responding, so MyLot alone knows who put that tag there! If you object to it and think it's inappropriate, then you can report it.

how nice of you to do that. indeed, whenever someone responds to your discussion, they do have the option to submit a tag. it's just so lame that anyone would go through such hassle to submit inappropriate tags only to underestimate the capacity of the system to trace such misdemeanor. hopefully, none of this would happen to anyone again!

Thank you both for your insight and thank you Owlwings for reporting that. I didn't want it to look like I had put it on there. It made me feel liek a jerk. I appreciate you both responding!

I think we have all had weird things happen here from time to time. As for your tag, I really don't know. If you've had no responses then I don't know how someone could add a tag to your discussion. hopefully someone here will have a logical answer for you.

Any user can add a tag whether they respond or not. To avoid having tags added when you start a discussion you should add 10.

Wow, I didn't know about this mysdianait. Thanks for suggesting this, since i was unaware there was a limit to the number of tags that you could put in. I guess this is a great measure that anyone can use to avoid unruly members from posting unnecessary or inappropriate tags to your discussion.

Any one could have put that tag there. I would have put "the wrong one got it" because I think that people are treating Obama as a demi god rather then the leader of the United States and elected him out of retaliation and I do believe the Peace Prize should be given after a person accomplishes something, like stopping a battle, curing cancer, making peace between enemies without apologizing, etc. and I do not think one should give Obama the Nobel Prize on what he said or because they are afraid of losing their job, their country not getting aid, or something like that.

Actually I find it very rude and sarcastic for someone to quote my phrase. We do not know what is behind Obama getting the Nobel Prize but I heard that Norway was in a habit of giving it to those who hold the same Socialistic views as they do. Also there is the matter of diplomatic relations and an irrational fear that if they did not give it to Obama or anyone non-white, they would be considered racists and bigots. There are some people who are terrified and think being a racist and a bigot is far worse then being a murderer.

hi since mylot is back in business now any mylotter could have put that tag on your discussion, and I think it was not very nice of them ,I know that is not what I would have said, I think Obama is doing a great job and p eople just expect too much of him too soon. Bush had 8 years to mess up our country and they expect Obama to fix it in one year,cannot be done folks. There a lot of fanatical mylotters who hate Obama for any thousand reasons so it could have been anyone who did that.

Hi Bear...I was wondering why a discussion I posted several days ago had only 2 responses, and then I noticed someone had put a tag on it that said "do not respond mylot not working!" What a mean thing to do. I don't know who does things like that. It's awful. Karen OH, and yes, only 3 other sitting US presidents have won the Nobel prize, but 11 days in office...that IS a record.

I reallay don't think that another usre can tag a discussion without even responding. What a tag, and it isn't a very nice tag either. Someone is just trying to start something because they don't like Obama for one reason or another, so all that person can do is sa derogatory things about him. He hasn't even been in office for a year yet and people are already wishing him ill will. It is all so wring, and hateful. I think he deserves our respect as he is our President after all, and he isn't perfect, that is for sure, but none of us are. I think that user needs to be banned from mylot for putting a tag like that. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

You do not have to respond to add a tag. Any user can add them.
