Mylot's List of Repeated Discussions email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8063)   ranked 1 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot1 month ago

It has come to my attention that repeated discussions can be a real annoyance. I know that we are not a regular message board/ forum in that we can not "sticky" a discussion. For this reason, I've decided to start a category in the hopes that people will see it and add this category to their list.

The category I hope will entail lists of discussions that are repeated so that new members and old members alike will not make the mistake of starting a discussion that will get deleted, or will not get any responses at all.

I will start the list, I ask that you please look through this list, and add your own list in this response, please also look through all responses that are made so that you do not repeat the title or subject of a discussion that has already been listed here as a repeat. I think that was a bit of a tongue twister but I hope you got it.

To make this a discussion as well as just a list, I'll ask this question, and please feel free to ask me questions as well. Do you think this is a good idea?

1. Discussions about Ice Cream
2. Discussions about Earnings
3. Discussions about Milestones
4. Discussions complaining about discussions about guidelines being broken (hence this discussion category)
5. Discussions about Arranged Marriages.
6. Discussions about which is the best video game console
7. Discussions asking about the algorithm
8. Discussions asking about paypal for India Residents
9. Discussions about the same PTC site asking the same questions(Especially ones with referral links)
10. Discussions about when you can copy and paste or use emoticons.

I am sending this discussion as well as a link to the category to all of my friends. I hope you will do the same, and add this category.

My husband will be starting a discussion about this category to hopefully get people to add this category. I ask that you please stay on subject on each discussion you make within this category. This is to help the old and new members alike.
10.

This is a great idea baby,and I hope a lot of people see this discussion and add to it and when it comes to me some of the discussions I have seen repeated are
one. Favorite Video Game
two Favorite Pizza Toppings
three. Best French Fries
four. Discussions About Subway
five. Discussions About Sleeping
six. Best Brand of Laptop
seven. Best Internet Provider
eight. Discussions About Pets
I have seen these discussions over and over again as well as others than I can not recall right off hand,and it can be quite a nuisance since it happens almost everyday,and I hope everyone adds this category and spreads the word,I love you.

I am so glad that you have responded to me as you have made some very good points on repeated discussions. Laptop discussions seem to be repeated a lot. I can understand if it's an issue that happens, but if a question about what's the best laptop... Technically we are supposed to be reading every response and comment, I don't and I'm sure many others don't... But we do need to start doing this.


myLot reputation of 96/100. hellcowboy (4851)   ranked 3 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  1 month ago

Yeah it is our duty as mylotters to read every response to a discussion before responding,I hope more people respond to this,I love you.

Hi Amber, signing up for service my dear. So you want us to add to your list of repeated discussions if I've got this right. I'll just put a couple for now just to make sure that's what you're after. Well last night I noticed a repeat of one of my earlier discussions, can't remember the exact title but I think mine was titled 'Do you sometimes have the habit of following your mylot friends around?' This appeared again yesterday by someone else, it could just have been a co-incidence but mine was quite popular when I posted it.

Now the one that does annoy me is the repeated, on the lines of, 'I'm thinking of leaving Mylot' followed by the usual list of whines, no one answers my quality discussions, I don't make any money, no one likes me boo hoo. Repeated sometimes by the same poster.

Now is that the kind of thing you were looking for? I do forsee one problem with this interest though Amber, I think a lot of respondents might keep referring to pizza toppings and ice cream toppings as their pet hate repeated discussions.
I must try to find time later for an original one, what to you think of 'favourite ice cream on top of your pizza?


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4276)   ranked 2 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  1 month ago

I'm back, I am so used to pressing 'no thanks' to every interest that I did it automatically whilst of course you want us to add it so I will now. rolleyes

@ someciwboy I really cannot work it all out. Not sure what you want me to do.? I am so dozy today. sleep I do not like repeated discussions but am not sure that we can stop it. Just tell me step by step amd I will folow happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8063)   ranked 1 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  4 weeks ago

Thea and Cynthiann, My two favorite people!, and yes I tell everyone that! Lol! Well thea, you have it right, I want the juice on repeated discussions. I hope this works, but it doesn't seem it will.

Now Cynthiann, Just think of discussions you've seen repeated and respond to me about them... That's all there is to it, if you want to, add the interest once you respond (you know it comes up do you want to add ____ under _____) ...

Hope I clarified, I can be very confusing! Off to catch up, I seem to fall behind constantly!


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4276)   ranked 2 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  4 weeks ago

The problem I forsee in actually making this an interest Amber is that if we post a discussion saying these are the new lot of repeated discussions then the discussion itself could get deleted. lol
I think that the people who post them won't bother to search around, I think quite often they see something popular and then think they'll try it themselves so they can see if they get lots of responses having never read the guidelines.

People don't read the guidelines now. So what is the point of doing this too? Sorry. Good luck with it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8063)   ranked 1 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  4 weeks ago

People don't do a lot of things they should, but this won't stop me! lol! I guess I'm hoping I can knock through some hardheads!

You've made an interesting point. There are some discussions that are similar in nature because out of all the many mylotters there are a few that are alike. Seeing this similar discussions are fun, and most of the seasoned members of mylot are aware that they weren't meant to be repeats, just two twin souls writing to their hearts content! Too many do not read the T.O.S. but I suppose there are a lot of "too many" scenarios these days, on and off mylot. That is to say, "too many people being killed" "too many children being beaten "too many people being robbed" etc...

I am not sure whether your discussion is helpful to us or not. Anyway, it is really an amazing idea.

But as you have mentioned above, the repeated discussions is really an annoyance. Every time, when I have seen a new discussion and before I am ready to post a response, I will use the search tool of myLot to find that if it is a repeated discussion. In fact, I won't post any responses to these kinds of discussions.

As far as I know, some newbies here may tend to start some repeated discussions. Perhaos they should read the guidelins before they are ready to start new discussions.


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8063)   ranked 1 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  4 weeks ago

It used to be a requirement on mylot to read the guidelines, I believe that was one of the first things that came up on the tutorial/ mandatory set up of a mylot account. Now we find way too many repeated discussions. The search feature only works if correct tags are inputted. I usually tend to put a few generic tags, but then put tags relevant to the discussion. That is to say, if you search "mr. and mrs. hellcowboy" you'll see a slew of discussions by my husband and I, but we also put releveant tags as per the discussion contents. Or, even what we want the discussion contents to obtain, or be relevant to.

happyhello cowgirl, that is actually a great idea, this might give the admin some guide on which user should be deleted in case they face guilty of making similar topic. but trouble is that what if the duplicate discussion is accidental, and you could copy paste the link of those discussions per list that you have come up so far, it will be considered a link for the admin to delete. sadsad. i just can't believe they would go to this site with out even reading the rules, so that actually starts with the duplicate discussion thingy


rules

myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8063)   ranked 1 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  4 weeks ago

Maybe I've misunderstood, I'm not sure, I don't intend to give said links or ask for said links, but rather this is a guide to mylotters and not the admin. Mylotters, I hope, will come here, see all the great answers about which discussions are repeatitive and steer clear of them!

Hey SomeCowgirl! I think that your discussion is a brilliant
idea if we could get the RIGHT people to pay attention to it!
Unfortunately, most of the "offenders" won't even bother reading
or responding because they will be too busy repeating one of
those already repeated and annoying discussions! I really do
hope that by now some of them "get it" because I am also sick
of those "What's your favorites and the "asking the same questions!
As for the "pet ones", well I'm a diehard pet lover so I never
get tired of those, but that's another story! So far I think
you and the other responders have alot of the "major annoying
ones" covered! If I think of anymore I'll be back! But, I
definitely think it is a great idea and hope it makes the digest
because that is one way to get loads of people's attention so
I will pass the word along!


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8063)   ranked 1 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  4 weeks ago

Opal, Thanks so much! I do fear that the repeat offenders won't see the discussion but I hope that enough people see and respond to it to atleast keep it up on the top discussions so that even the repeat offenders will know it's there, whether they click on it or not!

Please do come back if you think of anymore!

This is a very helpful discussion and hopefully people will stop by and see what the list are and try to think of other discussions that they can come up with. I do agree though that it gets annoying to see the same discussions started over and over again.


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8063)   ranked 1 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  4 weeks ago

It really does so I hope by starting this discussion it helps people to see the ones that get repeated. The mylot search isn't always the best, though I feel that's because of tags and keywords as well and not so much the search engine feature itself.

Ha, I also sometimes get annoyed with the unoriginality of questions. Not to say that we shouldn't expect a few here and there, being that there are 180,000-some members on MyLot and I'm sure thousands of discussions..But still. It gets old. My big tiff is when there are meaningless questions like "What is love?" and "What makes a good friend?" or "What is a friend?". These questions.. almost universally have the same answer, and I see them being started (usually by newbies) like twice a day, on the day.*rolls eyes*


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8063)   ranked 1 out of 25 in repeated discussions on mylot  4 weeks ago

Maezee, I would swanny you haven't been on here in awhile! Now I agree, those meaningless ones that have the same universal answer tend to be the ones we see three to four times daily... Now I haven't seen this in awhile, but sometimes by the same person. The discussion gets deleted, then they start it again, or if it's not deleted they start it in a different category. Now I realize they may have done this as it's accepted on gather but not here.
