C'mon, how many of you can honestly say you have done it?

As you can see with the number of post i made, I am new here. Yours is over 3000, nearly 4000 but haven't read the guidelines, what then can you expect from me? hehe.. This will be a lesson for me, thanks for sharing it. I need now to check mylot guidelines so i know if i am on the right path as i don't have any plans of leaving mylot anytime soon(should i say deleted from mylot?) Can you tell me where the guidelines are located? lol

Yes I have read and digested them and some bits I spat out as totally undigestable but I tried I now try and explain them to as many others as I can when they seem to misunderstand or misinterpret them. They are not easy to comprehend at a glance but they are not entirely impossible. I know wher to find them - and the FAQs too

I have read the guidelines and FAQ, but I really can't remember if I read them when I first started - probably not. I have to say as well that admin are being pretty quick of the mark in deleting offending posts. I just responded to a post that was just posted by a new user, and I found that it's already been deleted. It can't have been on the site for longer than 10 or 15 minutes! They had included a link to their blog...

I know where to find them. and i've "read" them over.. by read i mean skimmed on occasion when people asked questions about the guidelines and where too lazy to read them themselves. lol. OR if someone started a discussion saying taht such and such was against the rules, then i'd look it up myself.. so no i haven't sat down and memorized them, but so far i dont think i've had any discussions deleted.. but i can't be positive. if i've had one/some deleted i haven't noticed!

I have read them, I dont nesacarily remember them all and do go over them every now and again. I do believe they are under the 'mylot tab' but it normally takes me a while to find them. I feel elated when I do find them. I hardly ever start discussions I normally just reply to them and I dont really mind if the discussion gtes deleted if I know I have replied to one thats against the TOS. I have never noticed that I have lost any moeny from deleted discussions but I dont really keep an eye on my earnings anyway. I guess Im just a goody two shoes lol!

I read them as I ready any guideline I'm searching for certain word or phrases such as if they sell my email addresses etc. That doesn't mean that I read them and it doesn't mean that I know what the guidelines say. Usually the guidelines are so long and boring that is why people don't read them. Why can't they do guidelines in key points, would that not be much easier for all of us.

Uhhhhh yeah... guidelines, terms, privacy policy, FAQs... whatever there is, I read it LOL!! Maybe I can redeem myself a little, though, by saying that those types of things relate directly to what I do for a living (elsewhere, not at myLot) and reading them (also reviewing them periodically to see if there have been changes / updates) is something that I truly do out of habit.

I have read them several times. Can't remember much though except: No jokes, No recipes, no flaming, No links, no copyright stuff that isn't the author's etc etc. My only observation is that I sometimes find it hard to accept that inoffensive stuff gets cut and offensive things remain. I do know where they are too. Look down there at the bottom of the page.

I have read them & have them bookmarked because they are hard for me to find.

no, it is too long. and i just pick up some ideas regarding the rules of this site on some discussions. and i just don't things that i am not sure in accordance to mylot rules to be safe. i have some topics deleted before. so i avoided making those kinds of topics so i won't have any more topic deletion.

All right, I swear there are heaps of people saying they've read the guidelines. I really can't actually believe that. Hand on heart I admit I did not read the guidelines and I would learn as I went. I reckon that guidelines are boring and there is really no point of it, since whatever they usually say in the guidelines like no links, no violation, etc, is common sense.

Hi Humbug, I did read them which makes me realise how many of them are violated, abbreviations in topic headers, people negging others or threatening to because of a disagreement over a viewpoint, people churning out less than one liners with no merit at all, they are broken all over the place. I didn't get round to your discussion so didn't notice it had broken anything, if I think one does I never bother to respond unless one clearly states this is likely to be deleted in get your gripe in now before it is. But the disclaimer of reserving the right to delete anything does, I believe, make a mockery of having any guidelines. Ever since I had a discussion, with many commented on responses I might add, deleted, I worry about the fate of the next one as still do not know a reason why the other one disappeared. I really feel except for the obvious ones which are outlined in the guidelines, such as celebrating milestones, an explanation should be given.

Okay hands up :D I dont do it either LOL, but hey look at my posts number, i have just started here you know :p (runaway, atta boy:D) Well maybe there are two main reasons i have not read them all : 1. My english is so BAD that i cant even spell my name :p 2. Just like you and anybody else, cant wait to surf this site:p well just a lil bit out of topic, why do you get your thread closed?

Hmm, when I first joined I did read them but I couldn't honestly tell you what you can and can't do here! I may get cast into nether darkness for mixing American an English spelling, as I am a Brit living in America, but I don't care, I;m KEEPING the U in those words - there was nothing wrong with the u's , America, there was no need to throw them in the harboUr with the tea! :0)

Hi humbug. I can honestly say that I read the guidelines (at least the discussion guidelines) from top to bottom when I first joined here. Though I sure as hell can't remember them all! And I'm guilty of breaking a few in my time! LOL I can't say the same for everything else, like the terms of user agreement. I just skimmed those! Have you bothered to look it over? It hurts my eyes trying to read it all! LOL Oh, and to answer your last question, it's located at the bottom of the page. Happy mylotting!

I have had my discussion deleted 2 years before or so. That was when I posted about my milestone discussion and I didn't realize it wasn't allowed back then. Luckily a very kind and gentle friend in mylot told me why that was deleted and I understood there and then. Never had discussions deleted since..

I have read them but I don't go back and re-read them even though I know they get updated periodically. I'm not here for the money anyway and I have a general idea of what I can and can't do, so I takes my chances...

Well lol honestly I only read part of it, but now that my discussions virginity has been broken with my first 2 or 3 deletions I think I will take a second look at the guidelines to make sure I understand them fully. But here's what I remember we are not allowed to use profanity in our topics. we should not duplicate topics or copy other members topics. We should not list our referral links on any discussion's or members topics. we can only add links if the link pertains to the discussions subject matter. we should not put tags or upload pictures that don't match the subject matter of a topics. Um thats all I can remember.

yes I have probably read them several times. I know more or less what is allowed and what is not and how you should conduct yourself. Having said that I know location had to bend the rules and obviously once broke them when I had my question deleted. I was not upset however because I knew why it was deleted because I had read the rules.

No (: .. Lol, I used to be on mylot earlier, but left due to lack of time. Joined again because a very good friend practically grabbed my collar and threatened me to catch a plane, come see me to poke me till i am sore if i do not join back because she misses me (danke, DJ .. its good to be back) and because of that I have joined mylot 2 times already. That should mean i have read the guidelines twice right ?? Well, I have not, not even once. I know it is very 'very' bad of me and i can fix it if I un-lazify myself and actually start looking for them. Any pointers would be much appreciated. (:
