I post a discussion with insert an article from a website that I found while browsing, and try to discuss it on MyLot here. I love to share my knowledge that I found on the internet or media, and I think it's good for us, can expand our knowledge. I often to ask there is some one from the country that in the article and want to clarified that?
I so always curious about an interesting article, and try to got more information to sure that s no hoax.
I sometimes insert a link for the article, as MyLot guidelines to insert the article links if I copy it from other websites.
sometimes, I got frustated, when I wrote many word about the article, and when I press the submit button, the discussion not release, they said "please only insert bla...bla...bla....
or the mylot website will automatic sign out, and I must login again for continue
I has been start a discussion about the automatic sign out, but it seems failed to resolve it.
for anticipate it, I often to copy my discussion on a MS word to save my discussion, if that happen again, because My post not enough to copy paste much word, I will copy and paste it step by step, and it will need consume more time.
then, for anticipate it too I just wrote the extract of the article that I want to share, and I give the link if some one want to read more about that.
then, this is against mylot terms?
I think when I read the guidelines, I don't find it on "don't" sections
any protest about my ways?
THANKS

The Guidelines tell us:
"Do Make sure to post useful links in discussions when necessary to provide authoritative guidance or to refer to a third party article"
"Don't Post copyrighted articles or photos please link to them."
http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx
If you find an interesting article then post only the link to it, without copying the article itself, and then add in your own words what you think is necessary to create a discussion around that article.
Copy/pasting the article is wrong regardless of how many 'points' you have.

Then do you turn it into a discussion forester by commenting to those who respond or do you leave it at that?

Forester, I have noticed this about your posts, that you always want to discuss things that are interesting to you. If MyLot has not deleted your posts and warned you about it, you are doing it right. Hatley gave you good advice about Notepad and as MysD said, it is never right to copy and paste someone else's article. I wonder if there is something wrong with your browser or your connection that is causing your problems.

If people do not like how someone posts, then they should just go on and read and respond somewhere else. I think forester is enjoying learning new things.

There is another discussion and it seems that the topic might be referring to this user and that is the reason for this one.
I agree with you GardenGerty that if forester has not had any deletions then he should not have anything to be concerned about. We cannot please everyone can we after all?

Yep I always sumerise an article just because it's just easier. I don't want someone on a slower connection having to waid through the stuff.
Take care all.

A long thread makes it difficult for those with a slow connection, whether they start the topic or even if they just want to read it, because the page will take more time to open

owh....
I don't realize it before mysD, maybe the long thread will make someone take more time to open. But, I think it never mind if the thread is great, just my own view.

who got trouble for the long article is the thread starter. I think the respondent doesn't got trouble for it.

I do not recall seeing a source link for the information you posted. In addition to this, there was not much of your own work in the post, it was mostly copied text from another source. Not being able to copy and paste, I do imagine it was a lot of work copying it all out, but doing so still violated the guidelines.

wow... mylot admin come to my discussion.
If I introduce the article by my own words, there is violated the guidelines?
I has resume it by my own words, I don;t remember if I copy paste the whole article, because It not possible for me, and I realize it violated the guideline if I copy all the the other articles.

no discussion has deleted with no reason, all my deleted discussion is reasonable, and I know it, since I am newbie when I got my discussion deleted.
I just want to clarified, if I make resume or an introducing by my own word for the other article on a website, that's violated the guidelines?
By the way, I reach my $10 several minutes ago, hope I can got my payment in day 15th next month.
THANKS

I will not be able to review it until tomorrow or possibly even Monday. But when I gain access to it, I will look at it again and if I deleted it in error, I will restore it.
