We all make mistakes,we learn from it. I'm sure all of us the newbies and even the senior mylotters had mistakes here. I still remember my first mistake,I responded to a discussion that is a poll type discussion,lol!I never thought it was a poll type discussion since I don't have an idea of what poll type is,lol! I even started a poll type discussion since I wasn't able to distinguish at once what it is,lol! Now I know what it is so I'm careful now on choosing what discussion to reply with and what discussion to post. How about you,have you had mistakes? Please share so I would be able to know it so I wouldn't do it,hehe!

My first mistake was probably when I made a milestone post about reaching 200 points and not realizing that this is against the discussion guidelines. Either that or my two month hiatus. I think the thing keeping me from enjoying the full benefits of myLot is the fact that I don't stay long enough.

Hi kolsti! Oh yes,am about to do it also 'cause reaching the rank of 200 entitles one to use the emoticons,good thing I was able to read one of the discussions saying discussing a milestone here in mylot is one of the dont's in discussion guidelines. You said you don't stay long enough..huh?!

Hi mtrguanlao My first mistake - I expected my discussions to be on the top of the daily List - well that was the initial days and it was stupid of me to think it should happen. The Second Mistake - I posted a response without getting into the discussion and was strictly warned - Not to post anything about which I had no idea - I realized I was wrong and my input could mislead people around. Happy to say that I learned from them (and thanks to the seniors who helped me walk the right path). PS: There may be many more but I remember the first two only. Oh yes, did you give the chocolate wafer to your daughter Happy 2011 theSids

Hi mtrguanlao Call me anything dear, I would never mind (as long you keep calling ). Over the days I spent here, I realized that it is not about getting to the Top that matters, I love the company of my pals and seniors and they are the real wealth that I have with me at the moment and this is what I have for my days when I would cherish these moments. Your daughter and me would be great friends if we ever met... we already have one thing common between us - the chocolates - and she is a cute one. My niece made me realize, (a few days before Christmas) that I can still play a child and we had good fun together - as they have returned back, I miss her now. Anyways, Have a great time and we would meet on many more discussions.... PS. Oh you can check out for real - you are on my family at mylot here - http://www.mylot.com/w/image/2433068.aspx [Note: not a referral link] And you can call me Sid. Cheers, theSids.

I made a mistake is by duplicating someone else post. Although I was not warned for it but however I considered it as cheating way of earning money. I realised this was not good so I changed the way I posted the posts. I just read the OP's thread discussion and responded it without looking at other Mylot posts.

You know,sometimes I don't read others responses before replying 'cause there are times I wanted so much to answer right away. Good thing even if there are some answers just like mine,at least I said it in a different way. See you around!

Oh my,copy pasting is a major offense,now I know,thank you for sharing this. One reason why I posted this discussion is for me to know mylotter's mistakes so we all can avoid it then! See you around zhouxi!

Hi Professor! It's really hard not to reply in a post discussion but honestly,I really don't know what a poll discussion is before until I made one,lol! Now I know what it is and I sure not to post or respond to one like that again! See you around!

Hmmm! I am not sure if it was my first mistake, but I remember having submitted a discussion and cannot edit it. The title of my discussion had a mixed up or topographical error realizing only that there is no "edit" tab here.

We would not be humnan if we didn't make mistakes. Some mistakes can drag us down while others can make us laugh at ourselves and the world. I can remember post a response to a discussion that I was quite pleased with. i didn't realize it had posted and I posted it again. When i realized this, i tried to fix it. There was no fixing it. I just had to live with the post.

Hi sender! That is why we really have to use the search engine first,see if it was already posted so we wont post it again! You're right,sometimes we need to have some mistakes here in mylot to become a better mylotter! See you around!

I think accidentally making one of the those dreaded poll type questions that tend to get flagged was qualified. Didn't realize that what I posted constituted as a poll type question but at the same time, I really could see where the myLot administration was coming from. That was my first mistake and I am sure I have made a few here and a few there since. Oh well, live, learn, grow, and enjoy your time at myLot.

I reached my 500 post and was wondering why would it be important to copy/paste.. So I made a discussion about having reached my 500 post and yes received a few responses and then the discussion was deemed a milestone. I was puzzled by reading the guidelines again cleared that up pretty fast for me, so I am able to differentiate milestones, most times.
• Philippines

Hello my friend! Now I know clearly what a milestone is,thanks to you. But you know friend,I made a post discussing my milestone in triond but it was not deleted,luckily! I guess if it's your milestone here in mylot it is likely to be deleted,hope I'm right,lol! See you around my friend!

Yea i still remember my first mistake in mylot. And was that when i joined mylot i could not understand the site and what to do here so i never visited the site after using it for just three days. But after one month i again heard about mylot then i signed in again and now i am still here. We should always wait before judging. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

You know what koAebryant,it's really not a mistake if you're not that good in english. I've been reading so many posts having difficulty in english but still they are so active in posting responses. For me,for as long as you're able to express what's in your mind even if it's in a bad grammar,it's fine with me! I can see from your response now,you're good in it so keep it up koAebryant! See you around!

Hi friend! I suggest you use the search engine first before starting a discussion,look if it was discussed already so it wont be deleted and your time wont be wasted! See you around!

I also made the same mistake. I made a poll wherein I'm asking what they can see in an optical illusion image. It was my first or second discussion I think. After an hour, I checked it out and it was tagged by "Guidelines Violation". I won't forget that because before I saw their notification, I started a poll also. And that equals to -2 of my rating.

Hi Blacksun! Argh,it's really hard to distinguish this type of discussion that's why it's always been my mistake! Honestly,I had another notification today and it's because the question under it was deleted. I guess it's another type of poll or gaming discussion,so hard! See you around!

Welcome to mylot wirdim! Hi! Please do read the discussion guidelines first so you wont commit mistakes. One example of a poll type discussion is like this:juice or softdrinks? apples or mangoes? Anything that has a "choosing type" is a poll type discussion. So don't start a discussion like this ok 'cause it will surely be deleted. Happy mylotting! Happy new year too!
