It hasn't happened to me, but why would a discussion be deleted? Does it have to meet some standards or requirments? Or is it because they lack responses? Does spelling and or word usage affect the amount of time they keep it posted?? HELP,lol...for future references, I would like to know :) THANKS

Discussins are deleted when people don't follow the guidelines. Very often it is because of posting referral links. Instead of posting a link in a discussion, put it in your profile and then let people know it is there. Also, anything that is abusive or offensive may be reported by other users, and could be deleted.

There are guidelines to the types of discussions you are allowed to post. Like for example you can't post a discussion asking people to respond with a yes or no answer. you cant post a discussion asking for recipes. you shouldn't post a discussion that someone else has posted. all of these are ways to get a discussion deleted if someone is petty enough to take the time to report your discussion as abuse to myLot rules. It happens to me all the time. Spelling and word usage arent wont get a discussion deleted unless you use curse words or are down right rude against another user or a group of people. But don't worry about it. Unless you get targeted by someone like I have been then your discussions will remain safe.

I would like to know also. I responded to a discussion and noticed that it never should up in my "discussions I've reponded to" icon, and then the entire discussion disappeared!
