Will you respond to a discussion if it has mature content tag?

Hi dbutheking, I've accepted your friends request and your discussions are now comign to my email! Though for some reason to spam! Some of them have done that, not just yours, but even mine own! In any case, I think that sometimes there are a group of people to respond and then you have to wait for others. While it may have something to do with the mature content tag, I think that there are more people here who disregard the tags and just respond. Wait and you'll see! Maybe not soon but you'll get another response, and if not comment back, get the conversation going!

I don’t take any notice of tags usually and I reply to the notifications as they are emailed to me. I have noticed that the ‘mature content’ tag is not always appropriately attached to certain discussions so it can be a bit confusing.

I response to any kind of topics without even noticing the tags. The tags only come to view when I have submitted my response. It is better to have a slow coming responses as it might set off the alarm for the admin to delete the discussion. I have experienced that on two occasions when my discussions draw in responses at lightning speed. It was not matured contents and neither sensitive issues but what surprises me was that admin deleted the discussions as fast as it appeared on screen. My friends who received the notifications of that doomed discussions did not feel that the post contravene any of mylot rules. I suspect it must be the speed that kills. As in less than 5 minutes it has drawn in 10 responses before going under the chopping board of mylot.

Hey there! Fantastic avatar! The tags do not make any difference to whether I respond to a certain discussion or not. Sometimes the mature content tag is completely misleading and should not really be there at all. Like when you go to the cooking interest and read about a user who made something with chicken breas*ts - that would get the mature content tag! It's the topic of the discussion that makes me decide whether to respond or not and the tags don't have any say in the matter at all.

The mature content tag isn't always rightfully assigned to discussions. So I would first check the title and the excerpt before making the decision to join in the discussion.

Tags don't bother me at all. Mature or not a mature content, if it's within my list of interest, i will respond to it. Sometimes, the more mature the content is, the more information we can get.

I don't always look at the tags of discussions. I just look at the subject line and if it grabs my attention, then I look at it. It doesn't bother me if a discussion is mature content because I am an old lady so it's okay.

someone stuck that tag on a perfectly innocent discussion and I protested to the management and got it taken off, if you don't think it deserves the tag, see if you can get it taken off

Well, it depends what the discussion is about. If the person posting the discussions is in need of genuine help, then yes, I will respond to it because I have had experience as a therapist helping others with personal problems. But some discussion that are not serious and therefore not really mature, then I won't respond to. - Derek

I don't even read the tags to be perfectly honest. Sometimes discussions get shuffled and if they are not on the top pages they don't get seen right off. I don't think you should worry about it. Sooner or later someone will see and respond and bring it back up again. I've discussions that I have thought were over for a year or more get brought back up again.

Just like this one, this is tagged with mature content. That means, I still respond to discussions with such tag. What wonders me is who or why do they put mature content tag to our discussions even if this do not contain mature contents? Do you know why or how. I have some posts but I never put that keywords as tagged?

Hi there dbutheking I would if I found it to be an interesting discussion and not a smutty one. If it is intentially crude then it won't interest me at all. I once added to a discussion about cooking and I had mentioned chicken br***t and the whole discussion got tagged with adult content and I didn't even realise until another mylotter told me. It just didn't occur to me at all. hahaha

why not? since I don't find any harm in responding to those discussions, I don't mind responding to those discussions provided the discussion is interesting for me. Happy Lotting

I will read first the discussion before having a responses.. I think this could be one the better idea, if you want to reply on a mature content tag

I don't think tag is much relevant if I have something to share. If the original post itself has generate that tag, then maybe I will think.... why that tag? And read carefully. And if some response did so, well no problem!

I used to respond to the discussions with interesting Topics and under my knowledge.I don't read the tags.I just read the topic and the description of the discussion and respond if i feel ,i have some thing to say there.Thats all. Have a nice evening.

I find it incomprehensible that people actually read the tags before commenting, but of course I shouldn't, I've been here long enough to know that some people are actually offended by mature content. That I also find incomprehensible, but I guess I have to accept it happens despite my incomprehension. Gosh, does that mean I have finally reached the stage of maturity where I no longer think the world revolves around me? Heaven forbid! lol. For me tags are simply there for search engine reasons.

I never notice if a discussion is mature content or not.. so long as it interests me then I'll respond..

Hello Db. I will, depending on the actual question. Some things are fine; others are, I feel, too personal or distasteful, and to those, I will not respond. That, of course, is just my personal preferences. Karen

i don't think that tags are a consideration. the number of responses you get may be related to many reasons and perhaps maybe you cannot out rightly rule out tags also. one reason can be as in my case - i have not opted to view mature content. so whenever there is such a post, instead i get the message that i have not opted to view mature content and that if i wish to view i should change my preferences (which i don't). in such cases since i am not able to view all the posts i am not able to relate to the discussion and therefore do not contribute to it. as i said there can be many reasons.
