Deleting discussions...

Never I dont want that my discussion or my responses will get deleted thats why I always try to follow the rules of mylot but dur to other's mistake it happens sometime but what I can do ? I can improove myself but I can not make other people understand that plz do not break rules of Mylot

I'm great at leaving out whole words, myself LOL I try to always proofread but, even though I do, I may still miss something. I don't think we'll ever see edit or delete abilities here, though, because myLot is a paying forum. Giving people the ability to change content after it's posted would certainly mess with the earnings calculations - and it could also be easily abused (such as targeting certain members and making sure their posts get deleted, etc.). It would also be unfair to responders if the originator of the discussion could change their mind and delete the full conversation, thereby deleting the earnings of all those who took the time to reply. But don't worry about your posts, froggieslover... I think most of us, for the amount of time we've been online, are really fluent in typos LOL!

Yes! I would love to delete certain posts of mine that have obvious grammatical errors, or ones that I was impulsive to write - and ones that are possibly repeat discussions. It would be nice to have the control over discussions that you do at some PTP sites - to edit and delete, but oh well. I can't complain about MyLot, I love it!

Hello froggieslover this is checkmail and me too often think that i miss something to add up in mine discussions, but later satisfies as i can state that remaining info in the responses to the respondents.Yeah do think there must be an edit button in Mylot, in order to edit it anytime.There have been some objectional responses to mine post also, so would like to correct that part in mine discusisons.Rest everything goes well till i have the required count of responses.Anyways Happy Mylotting.Be patience while submitting the discussion.

I wish that too. A couple days ago, I started out a discussion where when I tried to post it, a message said that I can only use letters, numbers, and normal puctuation marks. As my discussion had a plus sign within it, I had to redo it again. After I posted this second try, I realized the first one went online too. I wanted to delete one, but I couldn't. Of course I have some discussions here where other Lotters maybe think is boring, and not worth the response. I'm not angry.

What's really annoying is when you realize you need to edit the discussion....at the exactly same second as you hit publish. I do this a lot with emails too. Or- you send a message after being a little emotional to a certain someone...and then hours later you calm down and wish to God that there's a miracle and somehow the internet angel will lose that email somewhere along the way so that the other party doesn't think you are psycho. That's always fun. There should be a way to delete emails if the respondant hasn't opened them yet.

yeah all the time. i always miss out words here and there and it's so annoying when you finally realize your mistake but you can't do anything about it. i guess it's just because they don't want you changing your discussions after you've started them because it's not the same thing as it was before.. if you get me. i don't think they should let you delete them though because why would would you start a discussion only to delete it? and if they did allow a delete but people would probably make a lot less money because a lot of the discussions might be deleted after they've been started so they can't be credited for replying to that discussion because there's no proof that that discussion ever happened.

Hi froggieslover Oh yes I do this all the time. I know with myself I get all fired up on what Im writing and just to get it posted that I never check it out before hitting that button...LOL..I get excited too easly..LOL.. Cute discussion..Keep up the good work. Keep smiling.

I don't think that it would be the best idea to be able to delete complete discussions unless no one has responded on them. The reason that I feel that way is that I don't think it would be fair to other mylotters to have discussions deleted that they've taken part in. However, I do think that there should be a way that we could edit the discussions that we've started. The reason that I feel this way is that sometimes the discussions that you start are about things that are going on in your life and the situation changes and I'd love to be able to give an update in the first post just so the people would know about it. In addition to being able to correct spelling and grammatical errors.

I also wish so there's a delete button to remove discussions which I had started. I twice submitted discussion that I wrongly placed in the wrong interest category. I wished I had removed them but it can't be. I also discussed a similar topic before but long-time members of mylot told me to just pm them which I did not do.

If at all mylot has provided those delete option besides our discusions i would have deleted some of my discussions which are not good ones. It would be better if they provide one even i do some spelling mistakes and later recognise those after i have started the discussion and i feel like oh i must have spelled that correctly. gud day.
