Quote" I Just Delete Any Discussion That Doesn't Interest Me" quote

Hello Hatley don't you think maybe you misunderstand. How can a contributor delete a discussions from the system. Isn't the administrators alone are allowed to delete our discussions. Maybe the person is saying that any discussion that comes to his/her notification she/he delete it.

If a discussion is deleted simply because it isn't "interesting" I suppose that would be wrong. However, MyLot clearly states their rules, including repeat discussions, vulgarity, etc, and that's why they would delete a discussion. I don't think they would do it simply for not being "interesting." Besides, who is to decide what is actually interesting and what's not?? That doesn't make any sense to me. Some rule(s) must have been broken, perhaps by someone's reply and not the initial discussion post itself.

I don't understand what you mean by deleting a discussion. On Admin can do that. I couldn't delete a discussion if I wanted to here on this site. It might happen on other sites, but not here. So, if a discussion got deleted, it was because Admin did it, not another member.

wait, you can delete a discussion? is that feature available? i don't think you yourself has the ability to delete a discussion you've posted. only my lot has the ability to do so and i think they only do that because of violations or someone reported it. but i don't remember having the ability to delete discussions. i know i have some with absolutely no responses from a year ago that i would love to have deleted.

Hi Hatley, I have used that expression myself before in a discussion and the way I meant was delete the email of that discussion if it is of no interest not delete the persons discussion so perhaps that is what this person meant as I get so many notification emails and they may too. I can't imagine a person deleting a discussion because it is of no interest to them so perhaps just a misunderstanding there I would say. However if that is in fact what they did mean yes I agree that is wrong. Huggles. Ellie :D

How the heck does one just delete a discussion? I thought only admin could do that.

Only MyLot admin can delete a discussion. Anyone can report a discussion for violation, of course but I am sure that Admin keep a record of people who report discussions (or I would hope they do). If most or all of a person's reports are of valid violations of the TOS and Guidelines, I would expect that to increase a person's rating. If it appears that people are reporting discussions out of personal vanity, pique, disagreement or just for the hell of it (and, believe me, that can become evident pretty quickly), then I would expect MyLot to take action against that user. It's certainly wrong to report a discussion or a response simply because you disagree with it. It's also a waste of MyLot's time and resources. It's also wrong to hit the '-' button just because you disagree with what someone has said (but very tempting, nonetheless!) I think that, for all their lack of communication, MyLot do keep tabs on who does what, to a certain extent. I certainly trust them to be fair overall even if there seem to be anomalies in individual cases.

I think she gets the posts in her email and deletes them there. I do that when I already answered the discussion because I usually go to the mylot home page first. Then I will go to my email and answer the ones of my friends I have notify on, that did not get to the top of the friends started post. Of course, she could mean that she also presses the ! button and reports them, but that would be wrong, would it not? Or she could be one of the moderators and has the ability to get rid of the post. Makes you wonder why she would even announce this.

I am sure as others have siad on here that she deletes them from her email notification. I know that is possible and I know that members here can not delete any discussions that are started. I know that I can't even delete discussions that I have started and so I am sure that she didn't mean that she deleted discussions on this site itself. I do appreciate you having the courage to ask this as some people might never have thought about it and if it was possible she could be causing major problems with others discussions.

I have deleted many discussions from my email notifications, but no one can delete a discussion started on Mylot.. I have also commented on that in many of my responses if it pertains to the original topic of discussion.. I have deleted persons who are only interested in talking about the sites that they have joined and want to add you as a referral, they are self serving and not interested in making Mylot a better community, so it is not something that I am interested in responding to all of the time, so another deletion.. I can't nor can anyone else delete anything from Mylot, it is not our responsibility to do that, but I and anyone else can delete any notifications that we receive in our emails.. When you have 100 legitimate discussions that you can respond to, then you don't have time to just respond to the ones about "how can you help me to make more money".. I enjoy the more interesting discussions..

you can delete discussions so others cant read them?? your kidding, right? i said that once, but i meant in my email. intead of responding if im not interested i delete them from my email, but that doesnt effect anyone else.

Hi hatley, I'm sure that the person was talking about deleting email notifications. But, just the same they didn't need to brag about it. So you delete things that don't interest you, so why do you feel the need to announce it in the middle of a discussion? That's the part that I don't understand, but then again I don't know who the person is or what the discussion was about, but it just sounds unnecessary.

Hello Hatley. It's true only admin can delete any discussions here in myLot. I have once deleted my discussion or I have requested admin to delete it rather. And my reason for doing such act is because I incidentally violated the rules, I have sent discussion contain typographical/grammatical error, then I repeated submitting the edited one with same title thinking that it would replace the old one, but it didn't . So to make the story short I have posted same discussion twice. And I don't want to violate any rules here in myLOt so I requested admin to delete it, but unfortunately they have deleted the one which I want to be left. And I feel sorry for those who responded on that discussions. Personally I don't think it's fair if anyone would just delete discussion, simply because it doesn't interest him/her. If that so why did he post that kind of discussion in the first place if he doesn't like thst?

what the hell is tat

first of all, i am wondering how this person is able to delete discussions... i thought only mylot admin can do that... we can only report a discussion as abuse to the admin when we find a discussion that violates the rules here... and the one who will decide whether to delete it or not is the admin... it is really a big question mark to me... or the person is only making up story??? take care and have a nice day...

hi,hatley. i guess she has not explained clearly and made us puzzle. i have never seen any delete button,only the admin can delete the discussion.i hope it was just a mistake,or it really not fair and it may hurt us.

This is so bad for the site and other members. Insane is a word that comes to mind as well. They take the time to go to that discussion just to report it? This makes trolls good even. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

[i]Hi Hatley, I am also doing that when I have nothing to contribute in a particular post, I will just delete and ignore it plus if the person is not even active in my post! [/i]

Hello, Hatley. I don't think you should worry about it. There is no way an user can delete any discussions here in myLot. You can't even delete your own responses to the discussions. What you can do is send a request to myLot staff saying that you'd like to delete your response because of a good reason. Otherwise, there is no way to delete a discussion. You should try to see if whoever said that didn't mean that the user just JUMPED discussions that did not interest him/her. Isn't this what was meant? Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I'm willing to bet that the person was talking about deleting interest areas, not discussions. There is no way a member here can delete a discussion, only myLot admin can do that. I can't think of another explanation for what that person might mean.
