what is with people breaking mylot rules?

Well, many of the rule breakers don't speak the language well and find the rules overwhelming. But there are plenty of people who can read English well that assume that if they generally mind their manners they will be okay. That just isn't true. I re-read the "don't" section today in order to reply to a friend's question and saw a lot of things that I'd forgotten or skimmed over. So I could conceivably break the rules without even knowing it!

tell me about it, worst is seeing members posting url and affiliate links wtf is that all about lol, I think when people sign upto sites they dont bother to read the rules and then the result is people start to complain and whinge when discussions are deleted and their earnings drop. Or maybe they are more focused on earning and just start discussions for the sake of it in the hope they will somehow bypass the rules. Who knows but yeah bugs the life out of me but hey thats what makes life interesting lol,

Uhm I had one of mine deleted last month. I guess someone thought it was too similar to the one I had posted the week before. I was going on about my pet peeve and I guess it wasn't different enough I find it sad that so many do not read them. In society there are rules so that things run smoother for the community as a whole so it is obvious that there will be some here too. When I see users with high numbers doing certain things and then moaning later when they lose their post, it is their own fault. It was my fault with mine and I am sorry for those who responded. I don't think many think about that aspect when they start a discussion. They expect responses regardless

Hi Hatley, I think there are a few who dont read thru rules, then there are a few who forget them (like me), and then there are some new rules that may have come just a day or two after a person has refreshed his or her memory. The fourth category are people who know they are breaking the law, but continue to do so, because there are no strict punishments! And this is what makes others like me get confused. We wonder if our interpretations of rules were wrong.

The main thing is mylot is so cool in look, work and interaction that some people think you can do anything here like in Forums without moderator. Here Moderator works silent unlike forums. My lot is definitely a great site for light entertainment,time pass with a twist - you get paid here, may be small but who gives you that much just for being here!

I just became a member and I'm still learning the rules. But that's what I find great about mylot. Rules are good to keep things clean and real!

I have given up on wondering about that Hatley As long as they get away with it they will keep doing it even though they know it will be deleted

I think it's because of the inconsistency. Some people seem to have posts deleted all the time...they don't care, they break the rules simply to get attention and to play the victim. Others do it to call attention to some perceived fault with the site. The thing is, some posts which go against the correct way of doing things are NOT deleted. During the most recent "glitch" (I think the star colours were tampered with deliberately) I responded fairly quickly with a questioning post. Many posts followed mine. Some, including mine, were deleted, others were not. Sometimes people post with an axe to grind and include a warning that it's likely the post will be deleted...they know they are breaking the rules and yet, the post stays. Some folk post about milestones, birthdays, anniversaries... & nothing happens, while others who do the same have their post deleted

I've heard that rules are meant to be broken and once broken one has to pay heavy price for their 'sins'. It is not that we don't read the rules, we do but just blame it on human errors. I am one of those 'old horses' who has been galloping here for years but still being whipped for unintentional mistakes. I don't think all my discussions that were deleted have gone against the rules but I admit they were a little controversial which might not go down well with the admin. Some readers might not feel comfortable reading or have been indirectly hit or hurt when they read them so have valid reasons to condemn the posts and reported them to the admin to get them removed. . This lot is full of mysteries which up to now I am still mystified. We are wrong to think that we can post anything under the sun but always remember we are still being governed by mylot iron fist rules. To play safe here it is better to post something that is in the common interest which can be boring and repetitive.

Well, Hatley, to be honest although I have read them a few times I do forget. I do not think that I have broken any rules though. I am just a quiet, shy, introverted lady, whose posts are really quite innocuous and sometimes boring. I am getting worried as I am forgetting quit a lot these days. Have lots of lists. If I do not write it down then I am wiped out.

Rules are made to be broken so they say. Some people are known to follow rules while others like to break them. We cannot change these people and should not try. I will discuss this issue with many rule breakers and ask them why they have problems following the rules. We must better understand the rule breaker before berating them with snotty remarks. I will come back tomorrow to show you my results.

Hello Hatley, We need to accept that most users when registering to one websites did not aware of the ToS or the guidelines. But even do they read the guidelines it is not perfectly followed by them due to some mistake... Even me I miss out the guidelines sometimes. Even do I read it twice in month. But the most effective for it follow is the regular reminders of all members here that really mastered the guidelines...

To be honest all i have seen as in people breaking the rules her in Mylot is where people are using a referral link to get people to join their sites.I have not seen anything else.Happy Mylotting Hatley.

Hello Hatley. I think the rules are perfectly clear and easy to understand, even for a newcomer from the Planet Zog for whom English is a 24th language. However, some people just don't give a flying fortress about rules or anything else, because they think they can do what they want, and nothing else matters except that they post their guideline-breaking discussions. And that, Your Honour, is the case for the prosecution. I feel so much better now I've got that off my chest. Thanks for giving me the opportunity.

People are always reluctant to read the rules before committing themselves.Have you ever come across a person who reads the rules in small letters completely before accepting it while installing a software?And generally people do not read thoroughly the printed rules of a bank or financial organisation before signing to get a loan.People do not change till there is a fear of punishment is instilled in them for breaking the rules.

I also get my discussions deleted sometimes. One of the thing is that I post responses to discussions that are like pool type questions or discussion that does not comply with the rule. I think it is good to go through the rules and to post wisely so that one does not get their discussion deleted.

Some people just do not care about rules. Believe me, the people who have discussions deleted know the rules. It only takes once.

Hi, Hatley! It's clear enough, they did not bother to read the rules. Some newbie just don't like reading especially when they see the fonts are too small or the words are too long, so, they will just skip that part. Most probably they are thinking of making fast money. So, whenever, there is something wrong with their earnings or discussions being deleted, and then only they will start to complain and later find out that the rules do exist. It's just like a little kid who keeps jumping on the sofa and doesn't listen to his mother and the moment he falls down, he would learn something, but doesn't mean he would stop doing. That means even those who have been here longer enough who know what is wrong, but they still doing it. Some do it on purpose, just like the kid to have fun and when they fall, they have already expected it, but others just take their chances.

Has there been a lot of deletion? Sorry I'm still kinda new here and am curious about everything and even scandals in MyLot lol :) Was it your friends or someone you know that had their discussions deleted?

I have just signed up to myLot a few hours ago. A complaint regarding decreased earnings was the very first blog I've read in the site. It prompted me to read the guidelines before posting anything.
