I accidently started two identical discussions!

If you hadn't posted that you had made a mistake I wouldn't have noticed. I just thought that I responded and then didn't delete the discussion. I make mistakes all the time. It seems that if I delete a lot of the discussion the whole thing gets wiped out and then I have to start all over again. I was sending an e-mail and I don't know what I hit, but it was sent. Then I had to send another to finish what I was saying and explain what had happened.

Don’t feel bad, you are not the only one who has done this! I have duplicated responses on a few occasions and once I submitted a discussion into a particular interest that absolutely nothing to do with the subject! I don’t remember now which discussion it was but is sure confused a lot of people who were responding with statements like, “WTF?” It was like posting a post about cats in the cars interest, it made no sense whatsoever!

Hi jenny, I haven't made the same mistake, but have made an error, and then found there was no way to adjust it. In my opinion, we should have an option to edit our own discussions.

It happens to everybody, and all you need to do is ask Admin to remove the second one. They are pretty good about doing that!

you can write admin and they most of the time will delete the extra one.. i have had it happen 2 times and once they removed the extra one and i dont think they ever got around to the other one grrrrr... but make sure and put the link to the one you want deleted and then the one that you want kept so they understand its double and which one you want gone.. and also by telling them then they know you werent trying to scam them

I have not made this kind of mistake. but in one of my discussion, I got a comment to remove name of great Lady Diana's name. I also felt that it should be removed from the discussion, But the discussions at mylot are like the shoot bullets, they can be amended once they are on air. (here is that discussion link for your reference http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2243537.aspx) So I requested admin to get it remove from the discussion, or allow me to amend the same. But as per the rule at myLot, if no one is reporting against the discussion, they don't change or delete it. And the rules are rules. So if you wish to get it removed then press abuse for your self is the only option.

i usually end up double posting sometimes because of browser farts.. i don't recall doing it to a discussion. admin would probably do it for you.

jennybianca, Just to let you know that you are not alone on this and you can consider another head count here. For my end, it has more to do with some lagging responses from the transmission or server responses. I've proposed that the admin could actually grant a form of control for this form of accident i.e. to enable the originator to delete his/her discussion when there's a duplicate like this. But, I suppose there's still some technicality involved that this could not be available.

hi jennybianca oh yes several times and I even asked my lot to delete one of them but if they did its just been in the last day or too. I noticed one person posted five copies of his response so he evidently had hit some sort of glitch. mine was because I thought my first discussion had just vanished so I rewrote my discussion and hit start discussion then found I had two copies, not quite a like but pretty similar.I guess now mylot admins is deleting copies but am not sure.
