Is it mean to delete 'overposting' friends.

No Rhino it isn't bad but you see that is why I check them out first to make sure there is something of Interest there for me So you go ahead or you could turn their Notification of if you don't want to delete them

Good morning hun :-) Like you I have found that there are certain of my newer friends who seem to "carpet bomb" the place with a lot of pointless postings. One in particular finally drove me to the delete button, but I did message them first to warn them. I did feel a bit mean but I also knew that I simply didn't have the time to wade through all the dross for the gems so to speak. :-)

No, it's not mean and I confess I have done it in the past, where one of my friends has flooded the site with discussion after discussion and most have been less quality and as you said of little interest and I have taken them off notification, coupled with the fact that the individual hadn't read ONE of my topics, so I was justified in taking them off my friends list totally.

When it is so easy to just delete the discussion if it is emailed to you and just ignore the few when you visit their page. It gives you opportunity to earn and am not sure why you would deny yourself that. Good luck with all your friends from now on.

I would say that if their discussions are not of interest to you, go ahead and delete them. Some folks might get their feelings hurt over it, but more often than not, they probably will never even notice!

Hi Rhino. As many Aussies, I am on a monthly download limit, so I can't afford to wade through pages and pages of discussions to find ones that interest me. Because of my download limit I can't use the "notify" as it takes up too much. Before accepting a friend request, I check out their discussions and responses, and only accept if I think we have mutual interests (even if in opposition: I enjoy a good debate). I do not believe it is rude to delete ones who clog up your pages with discussions of no interest. I have a couple of friends who post prolifically, but because some of their discussions are top notch, and ones I want to respond to, I leave them there. I had one good friend but because she posted heaps of recipes and home hints every day, I had to delete her, but I pm'd her first, explaining my reason.

I don't believe that it is rude to delete those that are too prolific with starting discussions. I had to delete a person that would post discussion after discussion for almost 20 or more discussions one after another. So I had to delete her. I don’t think she is here at all any more. There is another on e that starts discussions with questions and then repeats the question in the body. I just shut him off for a while he might come up with a good discussion some time. I also go through once in a while and delete those that are inactive,. I don’t think they would hesitate to delete me if I didn’t respond to them.

I don't think it's mean at all. Or maybe that's just because I understand what it's like. I dunno... I think it's fair. Not sure what else I wanna say. LOL I'm a bit out of it right now.

I have found that the ones who are suffocating me with discussions are never checking on mine anyway. They do not ever comment on any response I make to any of their discussions. I do not feel in the slightest bit mean when I delete them. I may have deleted between five and ten people for this reason since I have been on myLot.

I have removed friends for this. If they have no discussions that interests me they are just taking up space. I love to reply to my friends discussions, but i dont if they are not of any interest... I prefer to have a few good friends, before alot of non interesting one =)

You all seem to have missed the point and don't seem to know how to use myLot to your best advantage. Everytime I get a new friend... as well as approving it... I turn its nofication "on". Being notified of new questions saves you the time to search for questions to answer. If this new friend ask too many questions of no interest to me... or I feel that there are not good questions... once I get tired of it... I turn its notification off. Keep in mind that the whole point of having friends on myLot is to have those friends answering your own questions. It seems that most people are not turning their friends notification "on". This would explain why most of us do not receive answers to our questions. Keep also in mind that when you delete a friend... you are also deleting yourself in that person friend list. All those people with their friends notification "off" are actually preventing themselve and their friends from making money on myLot. That is what is "mean". If you are not going to use the notification... you might as well delete them... because they serve no purpose.

Thanks for the best response hun :-)

I don't think it is mean. You have the right to keep whoever you want on your list under whatever conditions you wish!
