Ignorance of the law Excuses No Man

When it is raining hard and fast and it's windy too and you walk with your umbrella and it blows inside out, who do you blame? There is no-one but yourself to blame for not waiting until it calmed down a bit It's the same here. There are rules which we must know about before we post or we risk the consequences of losing our posts and earnings and also causing others to lose them too. Only if we are aware of the rules can we choose either to avoid posting on discussions which are violating them or to post and know we are wasting our time. Many times I post on discussions which I know will be removed. Mostly these are dicussions by new users asking questions. I answer and tell them that the answers can be found in the FAQS and not to post or to ask in a PM if they have other queries. I know that my post will go because I am aware of the Guidelines. I also tell users that are posting ref links thatthey are violating. I know I will lose and hope they appreciate that I know too and that I am taking time out to help them become aware of something they may not have known. When we start a discussion we have a responsability towards the rest of the Lotters. All those who will respond on our discussion hope to earn something. If it is a violation they will earn nothing. I know when I respond where I am responding and it is my choice... but I can spare a few numbers now and then. How we can get it across to others that they must read the rules BEFORE they post I have no idea. Then those that put the blame on myLot when their posts are removed leave me at a loss for words

Hello my friend zandi458 Ji, So nice of you, I am with your feelings. I have know you much presentlyand in my earlier Avata. I know very well that you eaten the nuts of myLot and do your perfect job. Keep up the same spirit. May God bless You and have a great time.

Most of the time that I get to them they have already been deleted

ha ha ha ha... I try to keep to the rules as much as possible. But what is acceptable as a topic of discussion to some one may not sit well with many others who reads it. Who is wrong or right in this case then? I guess sticking to the rules will make the place a more pleasant one with no one crying foul over deleted posts, or disputing over loss "income" due to administration by the admins of the site. But there are some who will just want to toe the line to see how much they can get away with. I guess these are the people who like to bend the rules to see how much they can get away with. I have been away for a while. Were there a lot of discussions or responses deleted recently?

I often come across discussions which I know are against the rules and I don’t generally bother responding because I know they will be deleted. Having said that there have been instances (usually ones that have involved a friend) that I have responded to with the knowledge that they would be deleted. There was one instance when a friend of mine started a topic lashing out at another member and I commented on it, telling my friend that what he was doing was not appropriate and I knew the whole thing would go but I felt it important I got my message across. You a right zandi, the rules are here for a reason and it is important that they are followed by all members here. They are not difficult guidelines to adhere to and I am amazed too at the fact that they are still ignored by so many!

very close to the sun shining on it once and it made our bodies burn, with no make mistakes once in doing so we will be forgiven. How many times was like a god to make the rules but very often in the forbidden, it is our responsibility as the holder of the mandate from the boss. There was no time to blame others, if we do not know what we do.

Sometimes I respond, knowing I may be deleted, but feel that I may contribute something useful anyway in the process. What I dislike is a perfectly good discussion that someone drags into the muck and mire by turning it into rudeness, and it gets deleted.

I do not respond to any discussions that may be deleted. That is such a waste of time and energy and money here at Mylot. I delete them or skip over them to make sure I do not lose out.

Your absolutely right. Ppl get angry not b/c they've broken a rule but b/c they got caught breaking a rule. If they would take time to read the rules ahead of time, they would save a lot of time and trouble for other members. b]!!Happy Turkey Day!! ~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

zandi458 you are so right and so many refuse to read and learn the rules then complain I got my discussion deleted, why do they do that, do they hate me? No chum but you do need to just read and obey the rules. Really quite simple. So if all of us would read and re read if necessary mylot would not be deleting so many things. I have deliberately responded to some who seemingly do not read the rules that they should read the rules and learn to obey them. I knew I might lose points but just maybe some of them would start reading and obeying the rules. I like to help newbies whenever I can but to deliberately not read the rules borders on stupidity.

I have never written anything thinking it would be againist the rules but i have had discussions deleted. What bugs me is that i have never known why they were delted. I wish they would give u an explanation when they do that.

I could see so many violators here at mylot each day and I think I am not going to waste my time replying to their discussions. I only have very limited time for mylot so each tick of second here is precious to me. Even if the one started the discussion is my friend, if I know the post violates a rule here, I don't participate anymore. Nevertheless, I'd admit that I also was able to reply on discussions that were deleted for reasons I really could not comprehend. I think there are rules here that I should study further because there are discussions that do not seem to violate any rules in my own judgment but they were deleted just the same.

Hi Zandi, I did respond to one today who had responded to your discussion yesterday complaining that his earlier discussion had been deleted. I simply popped in today to tell him that his current one would go the same way as again breached guidelines but when he asked for futher clarification I did not return, I felt my statement was clear and he had had the opportunity since yesterday to familiarise himself with the guidelines. Quite a few followed after me to advise him of the same thing, but as he said yesterday he was already a banned member he had obviously had plenty of time to learn the rules. I wouldn't waste more than one post advising someone of that, but when I have done so in the past the poster has chosen to tell me I am wrong. I see no point in arguing about it, there are so many discussions available telling people to read the guidelines.

Well I haven't seen many people disregard the rules, and if I see something I just steer clear of it.
