Nobody's Perfect...

When I "help" new members it is not because I am trying to act like admin police by no means. I was new one time and certainly would have enjoyed someone helping me. I have never been rude to anyone when I provide the "help", in fact 99% of the members are grateful when I do "help". It is such a pleasure to see the members who take the "help" and turnaround instantly to be successful myLotters. So for me it is not an issue to "help" as I think that is what a community is all about - HELPING!! Now certainly I could skip it and let the member fail on their own, but will that stop members from continually doing what they do. Nope! We get them all day long and I have to believe many do not do it intentionally, they do it because someone told them that they can. See when I came here I was literally told write about anything. The referring person never said I could not spam, simply said write about anything. Now I was not one to write about anything as my pen-name is valuable to me so I did my own researching, which by the way I took 3 months before I posted a single thing. So when I "help" someone I don't want them to take 3 months and or fail. That is my reasoning for helping, now if that makes me a bad myLotter then someone needs to explain to me what the definition of good actually is?? Although I went into a great deal of detail above, simply it is to voice that some members do it because of so much misleading information all over the net and not all newbies are bad, and this I know because many that I have "helped" are truly successful today!

Most people just don't read or go through the guidelines. Don't talk about here, just how many people go through their manuals before they start using any gadget?

You know, a thought came into my head as I was reading your post..You heard about lamby's idea of video responses? Well, if he made a video for each of the guidelines along with a visual of what NOT to write or do, then when someone posts up a discussion against the guidelines, everyone can go to his youtube and post the URL in this person's discussion...Think it might work?????

Hi LetranKnight, If it gets deleted, just ask yourself why and do it again The reason is there. Either it is mylot violation or plagiarism. I am not sure though, if the admin finds one with constant plagiarism he/she could get banned. You put it right that unlike other sites mylot keeps vigil on things and constant monitoring has helped those Trolls flee.

Your absolutely right. On the other thoughts though, Nobody is perfect but everyone is unique.

Mylot is the only site i am active .. And yes there are many helping users here who always helps newbies about rules on mylot. Around 2 years ago even I got many useful tips about mylotting from others and because of that I am able to do smooth things here... Surely admin don't delete discussions without any reason.. So better improve our working on mylot.

Yeah people here are very friendly.Two of mine discussion got deleted due to my own fault so now i try to be extra careful in what i write.Happy Earnings Friend

Letran- The sad thing is half of the responses I read in a day are those of one Mylotter telling another Mylotter about the guidelines. I have to sit back today and simply say that if people choose to act as volunteer police that is their business. No one is making them sign up, take the job, or the like. If they complain they have no time for the good threads, well it is their choice that led to that feeling. Personally, I think if we simply focused on the quality threads the trolls, etc would simply go away because no one would be contributing to their success. The poor threads and violators will continue to thrive the more that people continue to write on their threads, and continue to post threads about the violators. And before anyone else can comment my comments here are contributing as well. Namaste-Anora

I've had, my response deleted by MyLot, the numbers are very surprising. In one day I have 7 responses, which were removed. I am very disappointed, but I am aware,this is my fault. I'm lazy to read the rules in MyLot, so I had to experience this. Until now, I'm lazy to read the rules, I just learned from the discussions that have been deleted by MyLot. And me, little understood,with a discussion as what to delete.
