Deleted discussions

If a discussion is a violation of the Guidelines it could be deleted even without being reported.

A discussion about 100th post is a violation of the last line of the Guidelines and should not have been posted in the first place

We must all be certain when we post that we are not causing others to lose their time (unless they choose to do so like I am doing right now).

One of my recent discussions was deleted too, presumably because it was too similar toanother one that I had posted. I am sorry for those who responded when this happens as they lose their post and their earnings.

Maybe it is time to have a look at the Guidelines so that it does not happene again?

It would have been deleted because it is a milestone discussion which is against the rules

When a discussion gets deleted it may not have been reported as admin delete discussions when they notice violations.

Best thing to do to make sure you don't get any more deleted is to stay within the guidelines

It got deleted because it's a "milestone" topic. This is listed under the DON'Ts in the guidelines section of mylot: Don't "Start discussions promoting a milestone, such as birthdays, anniversaries, reaching a certain myLot rating, etc. This is best celebrated via private messaging with your myLot friends." allowed.

I made a similar topic in my excitement when I first reached 100 posts and it got deleted as well. There was this person who replied, he congratulated me and proceeded to tell me that he has reported my post for violating the rule against milestone posts. LOL! I am not sure as to how exactly they judge milestone posts though, like if they review it before deleting after someone reported it. I once made a post asking if you get any other "perk" after getting copy and paste when you reach 500 posts, like getting a star or getting to use emoticons. I was asking if, say, you reach 1000 if you get another perk. For some reason, it was judged as a violation.

I've had other posts deleted as well, and my reaction is to just accept it, and keep posting!

I've never had a discussion deleted that I can think of but if it were to happen it wouldnt bother me..I mean they (admin) dont generlly delete a thread without reason ya know...

Well, it just happened to my previous post/discussion about my "100th mylot posts"

thats why it was deleted..thats a violation of the rules here at the Lot

I also made several mistakes in violating the terms of use for mylot. I could say that I have learned a lot now and is actually very careful in posting. I think if there's a very important thing that mylot has taught me is that I now pay attention to the terms and conditions that you are required to read in signing up with every site. Before I used to just click on it and go.

Well I have never had one of my discussions, deleted because I know what to post here in Mylot, and I follow the rules here in Mylot, I don't just post any thing, I post a discussion according to Mylot rules, I have had some of my points deleted, because I answer a discussion, that was breaking Mylot rules, so I read discussions carefully before, I answer them to make sure, my points won't get deleted.

It does bother me when I write a discussion that I think is fine and then it gets deleted. But if they do it because I violated their guidelines I didn't pay enough attention to them and need to go back and read them again.

Agoenx, whether or not someone reported it, the admin will eventually find out for themselves that you have discussions that break the mylot discussion guidelines. Which is why it is really important for each member to read the discussion guidelines carefully. As for me, I've had my own share of deleted discussions too, but it was something that I mistakenly looked over. Hence, reviewing the guidelines from time to time won't hurt, especially if you've been able to generate a lot of responses. That way, no time will be wasted (and earnings too )

Hello friend....

When my discussions get deleted I get very angry as all my work goes wasted. but after some time I am cool as I knew it was my fault....and yet again I think of posting the same topic but I keep myself away somehow as I know it too will be deleted or my account....

So now I rarely start a discussion...

Fortunately, I have not yet had any of my discussions deleted, but then again I have had good friends that have given me some really good advice that I listened to. Two of those friends have already made an appearance on this discussion, so I hope that you take what they have said into consideration the next time you start a discussion, and you should not have many problems in the future.

Congratulations on reaching your post count, and I hope you continue to have fun on here.
