Why does a discussion disappear?

I was wondering that myself. I did not see anything offensive about your discussion. Actually I thought it was a great topic. I never thought of water being healthy and always wondered if I was drinking too much water. I drank 10-12 glasses a day.

There are thousands of discussions about the amount of water you drink. One of the lesser paid attention too guidelines is to make sure you search for similar discussions to the one you are about to post. I don't know if they catch or enforce that as often as always, but there is that, and a while back, it seemed everyday someone was talking about water. So that is something to be mindful of, sometimes it is tough because you want to get what is in your mind out to the world, but then it is already there. Cheers, I appreciate you.

Yes, of course. I had that experience too, I didn't know why my discussion was deleted. But eventually, I know the reason: I misplaced it. I started it in the wrong interest. Haha! So you violated the guideline without knowing it. And I think the admin should tell the starter why their discussion got deleted.

Hi Dorann, I am suppose to respond on your discussion about water. when i am going to send my response--a prompt showed up and said it was deleted due to guideline violation. okay... i think there's someone who started the same discussion or similar to your topic that's why it was reported as a duplication or wahtever (i am just guessing about the reason...). i am aware of that particular discussion that you started.

hi dora, me too the same problem, i started one discussion about water... i got 30 responses too.. but this discussion was deleted. I don't even about the reason why it was deleted, i was so worried about that. I don't know about the water what is the reason of violation in that..

Hi dorannmwin! There's a big difference between no "apparent" reason and no reason at all. To answer your broad question, discussions (and responses, comments, photos, etc.) disappear because in some way, shape, or form, they did not comply with the myLot discussion guidelines or Terms of Use. Posts are never deleted for no reason at all. No "apparent" reason, however, is they key in many cases. A very good example of this is plagiarism. Regarding your discussion on drinking water, I did comment above/on the previous page that I was able to find numerous discussions asking the myLot community how much water one consumes in a given day by searching for "drink" and "water" and I'm curious what words you used when you searched that you and I had such drastically different search results.

I don't know either. I just went to answer your discussion as it is importantto our health and I couldnot understand why it had disappeared. Just what did it violate Mylot?

I have had discussions deleted. Some were because I violated Mylot rules. No big deal. Other were deleted because other people,who loved to critize me and don't like me, have had some of my discussions deleted. Some of those discuuions were good ones,too! Some people are so rude here and think they are so perfect they can do anything they want! This is why I have had discussions deleted and I don't like it!

Oh! mine too once. the topic was about the runtime problem in mylot. Maybe because they solvedt the problem already so no need to discuss about it or something.

It's a real mystery when discussions mysteriously disappear for no apparent reason Although I suppose the admins have their reasons, such as to reduce spam topics or to get rid of discussions that do nothing but waste space.

sometimes people who hasnt anything to do, reports good discussion like there were bad discussion, like there were violated something,, just bother people! once moths before, i have had the same problem with a discussion ive started, and this not had had anything bad, but somebody who hasnt have anything to do, reported like an abusive discussions.

Meaningless discussions or discussions created to attract response are deleted. Many of my such discussions were deleted.Many of them responded that discussions. While starting a discussion we need to be very careful. We need to read the guide lines carefully. Many times even the discussion is not violating the guidelines can be deleted. This happens when the discussion started is meaningless. Mylot keeps a keen watch on its users. If you still think that your discussion deleted was due to an error, then you can contact to Mylot.

Its because you might didn't follow guidelines in creating discussion. See the guidelines.

Hi friend, the answer is, to make room for others to appear!!!

hi why on earth was that discussion deleted as I thought it was a great discussion and I added my response. this is so silly, and I wish that they would implement the idea of telling each of us just what the heck rule we broke that made them delete it. I cannot see where that broke any rules that I remember. I don't think it duplicated someone elses and well I just do not see the reason for it either dorannmwin.

Hi dorannmwin,As what I've observed, discussion will disappear if Mylot rules is violated.Good luck!
