First time really hurts!...or rather REALLY SUCKS!

For the first time, i had a discussion that was deleted and it REALLY SUCKS! Though, I felt that it might be deleted because it may have violated some discussion guidelines, but i also strongly felt that the discussion would generate a lot of interests because it was really such an interesting discussion. The discussion was entitled 'Only great minds can read this!' its was about how people's brain can read words even if they are jumbled as long as the first and last letters remains the same. And I WAS RIGHT! I got a lot of response and people really found it interesting. Such a pity! that it was deleted. I would like to apologize to those who responded to my discussion because it might have affected your points. I also thank you for taking the time to read and respond to the said discussion. more power to all of you!

I don't know what to tell you there but besides mylot must of had a really good reason for deleting that discussion. Have you wrote to mylot and ask them why did they delete that discussion? You would probably find out that it was deleted because it broke some kind of rule or something.

I know that it broke the rules because all the words were jumbled but can still be read and understood to prove the point it was trying to make. I fully understand why they deleted it but it can't still diminish the fact that i feel such dismay for such an interesting discussion to be deleted. thanks for responding and happy postings!

I didn't bother to ask mylot admin because I know that I may have violated the guidelines. Well, at least it got some members to respond and appreciate my post. Thanks for responding!

The first time I had a discussion deleted I got upset about it, then I thought oh well, "welcome to mylot". It happens to all of us eventually.

Weird... I wonder why it got deleted, doesn't sound too offensive? Or was it deleted for other reasons?

I don't think it offended anyone. It was deleted for some other reasons.

I thought that was a great discussion! It must be the few members with "lesser minds" that complained about it and got it deleted although I can't see why in the world mylot admin would listen to them. How could that have gone against any guidelines? Did you email mylot about it?

I don't any member reported me. But in case somebody did, all i could say to them...is God bless them! Life is indeed too short to dwell on them.

I didn't respond to your topic, although I did see it. I didn't respond because I'm familiar with it. Where I used to work at the Literacy Center, it was one of the handouts given in tutor orientation just for fun, and to point out how things can be read all jumbled up as long as the first and last letters are correct. I'm really surprised that your discussion on that topic was deleted.

Most of those who got to read it and who responded to it are already familiar with the topic since such email has been circulating for a long time already. thanks for responding!

what guideline/s did it violate?? i have experienced that and i never really understand why it was deleted because i talked about number combinations and their meanings. i started it early morning and when i logged on again in the afternoon, it was already gone! i never even saw if someone responded in it. i was surprised but thank goodness i didn't know if someone responded on it. i would have been more frustrated if i knew there were responses. ^__^;; and i thought maybe they didn't want me talking about the d-e-vil's number or unlucky numbers. but your discussion! it was as wholesome as it can be! and its not only you that makes discussions like that. and their discussions are never deleted. i wonder why.. anyway.. that's ok. i never really noticed if my number of responses decreased because i don't really take notice of it every now and then. and one deletion is just minor. so don't fret cdparazo. everything is still ok. ^__^ happy myLotting!

Hi cdparazo! Sorry to learn about your deleted discussion. Personally, I find nothing wrong about it but probably there is some issue about the guidelines indeed that we can't really contest about. Anyway, based on the responses that you have received, it meant that many have enjoyed it and that in itself is a good thing, was it not? Don't worry the second time..won't hurt anymore! LOL!..just joking my friend! Take care and have a nice day! :)

Move on. You can still think of topics that is worth the responses of everyone. Like this post. Just don't mind those toics of yours that got deleted. You can not do something on it anymore. But just focus on what is still being replied by a lot of members.
