I started a discussion about violaters going around Mylot posting cuss words and I titled my discussion "Fed up with Mylot?" and I meant no harm in posting it. I just wanted to see how it affect other mylotters and it seems like good conversation but now I just saw it disappeared. Did Mylot just delete it just because of the title assuming I was involved?
I just do not get it, I love Mylot? The only thing I can think is that I included the NAME of one of the violators (i want try again). Im just disappointed--are these people who insist on violating Mylot rules making Mylot administrators anxious where nothing goes?

You can contact Mylot.com if you want to know the exact reason why your conversation is deleted, but I don't know if they will share the answer with you, because I believe it stays in the staff. But you never know for sure! What I think that happened, is that there are already discussions about this subject (I've made about the same discussion 2 days ago for example!), and it was too similar to this one, or maybe another one. And what I read in the guidelines, is that you should search if your discussion you wanna start doesn't already exist, and you can only start a new one, when it has quite some difference in it, or when it TOTALLY doens't exist OR when the other discussion is already quite old and long ago when someone reacted on it. This is what I think that happened with your account,but this can happen to the best!

Yep, that's what happens. We aren't supposed to post about issues with mylot or name names...even if we are do it to help clean up the site. I did the same thing once and it got deleted even though I had a lot of support and the violator was caught and banned (and I didn't publicly say who he was, just PM'd people who asked).
I don't agree with how deletions are determined. Yes, there are a lot out there that really were in violation, but many others weren't and plenty of violations sneak by. I lost 3 points all while typing a response today so I think 'they' are especially trigger happy today for some reason.

thats what I thought, I think at the rate the posts were coming (from the violators) I think it was more numerous than I actually saw and I couldnt figure out how it got by so long without Mylot deleting them right away but i think it happened overnight off the clock and they just had a 'mess' to clean up in the morning so everything went.

and yes, i think it does make them more anxious and because of the violators less fun for mylotters

You were deleted because you mentioned a member by name which is again ts the TOS.
