Well, I had to wait a long to come for my 500 postings. Last night, I started a posting for my 500 mark celebration but astonished to see that niether the posting is here nor the responses and even the intimation mail in my inbox was deleted. I couldn't get it. There was nothing wrong with that posting too :( I think I don't have the right to celebrate the moment.. Okay I ll' never do the same and remain silent.

Cammon friend, dont get disappointed. You know one thing, somewhat similar thing happened to me when i was one post back to reaced my 500th post. My discussion was not deleted, but i dint get even a single response for the discussion. At that time my posts were 498. I thought if i get response for that discussion then my post will change to 499 and then i will start a new discussion to celebrate my 500th post, but then i dint get any response. Finally i had to respond to others discussion to make my number 499 and then started discussion on 500th post. So such things do happen. Dont take it seriously. Just keep posting and enjoy myLotting :)

Well, nice to learn that. But I would like to suggest that if you may check yours that discussion now!! Ammmm I guess it was before that alert! Thanks for encouragement!

Do not take it personally. If I remember correctly, I think we got an alert not to long ago from myLot asking that we not post these discussions announcing that we have reached a milestone anymore and that they would delete them. The same goes for the discussions announcing that we were paid. I do not know if they will go back and remove all of the previous discussions relating to these topics, but I do not think that they will be allowing them in the future.

Well, first of all I would like to thank you for response and guide too. I am sorry for my misunderstanding. Well, I feel myself a bit guilty for raising that issue too. Nice to have your advice Kelly! Another friend has also told me the same through PM .

First of all, congratulations on your 500. I am so close but I feel like I will never get there. It is work. Is it possible there was just a glitch? Perhaps the system went down around the time you placed your post. Maybe you could post it again just to see.

Thanks. But I wish you the same. I would like to add that couple of responses here told that mylot has changed the criteria and surely one cannot initiate such issues. So be careful.. Best of Luck.

Congratulations for reaching 500 posts here. I also experienced that a few responses of mine have been deleted. My 4 responses have been deleted here upto now. I think I have responded to some discussions which were not original but copied from other members discussions. So when mylot deleted those discussions, my responses also have been deleted. Though it is really sad that we are responding but these are deleted.

Hi! Thanks for response. I would like to add here that we must observe the rules and keep in mind the time to time alrets from mylot. I agree that certainly there are some violations that delete our discussions. I am sorry that you sufferred but now I have decided to keep those rules in mind. Same to you ahev don't worry the things will be fine again ;)

Yes, I hope so. Now I have become more careful regarding posting responses. Now, I really avoid the discussions which I doubt. Your discussions helped me to remember the rules of myLot again. When I will reach my 100th post, I never announce it here even by mistake!! Thank you for your friends request.

Well, I think we must go under the rules defined by mylot ... Well, I will check your discussions and do respond to some ;) Don't worry friend.

If you would read the writer's guidelines and rules you would know that we are not allowed to create discussions that announce milestones. Mylot considers them a violation because all they do is encourage members to say pointless things like 'congratulations' and 'good job'. Sure, that's all sweet but it does not make a quality discussion, and if every one of us did that we would find ourselves weeding through these pointless discussions just to find the quality and thought provoking discussions. Mylot would rather you send private messages to announce milestones. Read mylot's discussion here and pay close attention to #3: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/457762.aspx

Sometimes it happens that the discussions having some violations are deleted by the mylot. Most of mylotters are also not abiding by the rules and fall in that category. So keep an eye of those rules and don't worry, it will be okay after some while. Enjoy posting here.

I too dont understand why mylot deleted discussion that does not have any wrong content.Hope you felt little disapponited because it was your 500th post.But when i reached 500 i felt happy that i have copy paste option after that.So you can also feel happy in this way like me as you can spare time to write some topics offline and then paste it in mylot.Anyway i congragulate you for attaining the 500th mark.best of luck.

What I have learnt that we are to follow the guidelines and alert messages, time to time received from mylot admin. I am quite satisfied at the moment what they did. I would try not to go for those banned activities. Thanks for response.

wow.. that's pretty sad.hehe maybe the administration has it's oen reason for doing that but they could have at least informed you of the why's right. i find it unfair that they deleted it without letting you know. at least when they will inform us of the mistakes that we ahve committed there will be a lesser chance for us to commit the same mistake in the future! right?

Yes, I agree! I think that one must observe the rules but if violated so ... mylot has the right to delete but if possible send a notify message for that. Thanks

Actually I was not aware of the fact that one cannot post the discussion like that ammm congrats, thanks, star ratings etc... I didn't mean that but what can I do, the admin is a best judge, isn't it! Thanks for response.

If I were you I would try posting it again , I tried as many times to post things last night and MY Lot wouldn't let me , It went offline shortly after that so maybe your discussion got last then , congrats anyway to your 500 it is a brilliant feeling isn't it ? . try it again anyway , if it goes again then you can ask admin why xxxx

Thanks Aissha! I have been told by some friends that I had not gone through the alret messages. Mylot had alreay warned about discussion like that! So it is quite possible that they have deleted the same. Thanks for your response. I think its fine now.
