I made a discussion and either someone else had already made one just alike or even an older mylotter can goof, it must have broke some mylot rule. Being one who reads all the rules and am going on four years here, how did I goof so badly? I feel bereft and sad as my topic I thought did not break any rules so perhap this one had been done already. I am surprised at how hurt and empty feeling I am . I blame only myself as I did not search for this topic having already been put out today.Just surprised at how I am feeling.I really would like to know why and I am sure I will get a notification.I just feel stupid and useless.So now what to do?your take mylotters

Wait, when did you start the discussion? I have not received a notification you started one prior to this one. Are you sure that when you hit submit that it actually went through? If it is an old discussion, then okay maybe deleted, but Mrs. Hatley I have not received a recent notification of a new discussion. So I don't think yours went through. When did you start this , as I went to my email and checked and nothing there that you started one?? Or is my memory going bad and I already replied, but it would have been in my trash and not there.

I have been scouring my email address and did not find anything prior to this one recently. I really don't think one actually posted through for you recently. Either way Mrs. Hatley do not be sad, We all care for you immensely here.

I really, really scoured too, and the last one was July 26th. I think she will be glad to know that it was not a deletion, and something must have happened with the net lagging maybe.

Hatley Madam: I did not read what was the discussion. You should not bother at this age for such small things. Considering your age and experience these things are not to be taken seriously. Discussions of most of us would have been deleted at one time or the other. I saw your name and I though the discussion may be on the earthquake in washington--

hi quita thats just exactly what i did, rewrote it and it posted with no problem. Mylot really was not down very long as I played two games of solitaire then came back and it was working again but I had not put that incident together with not finding my lost discussion before. that made sense.

hi quita well it did not get posted and I finally figured]out why.just as I hit post mylot came up with the message we are shutting down briefly now due to maintenance problem . they apologized for the inconvenience so there went my discussion and its lost somewhere out in the air I guess. lol.

hi changjiajngzhibin no it was not deleted instead I found out what happened. I had notput the two things together before but just as I hit post dicusscion mylot popped up with a page stating mylot is shutting down briefly due to maintenance problem. so my discussions simply got lost somewhere. I am glad it was not a deletion as few write about the working of mylot which I did.

It happens to everyone now and then, I think. Probably someone reported it as a similar discussion. I can understand how you feel bad. I guess I would feel bad too. But you have to know with so many people here that some of us are going to think alike. Even if you had the same thought the words would not likely be the same. O don't see any reason for your discussion to be deleted. Just look at all the discussions. There are probably 50 similar discussions. I know I have seen several discussions that are similar on any given day and they aren't deleted.

hi pointlessQuestions I just figured it out.Right after I hit post for my first discussion mylot came up with a blue screen saying mylot closing down for a short while due to maintenance so that's what happen to it ,it flew off as they were shutting down. I had not thought of that before. twice they have shut down today just for a few minutes so I suppose something posted at that exact moment might not post.

Oh I just read where no on got a notification. Must have dropped the discussion somehow when posting. Might have been a server error or something.

Hi Hatley, myLot site is no longer new to me and I do would goof I did start a topic without searching thoroughly and found same topics were already available This is mainly due to, I'm not doing my work conscientious So take it easy and don't feel uneasy and blame on whatever which can't be remedied or restored again. However don't worry much about it. May be same topic but different description of content still considered to be safe I suppose. Anyway I would take this as a good lesson and not to commit the same mistake again. Happy posting!

Hi Hatley, I haven't seen any of your discussions that I would have thought broke the rules but it happens sometimes. I do know how you feel. I had a comment removed not to long ago that said it was meant to inflame. I felt so bad and my intent was not at all to inflame. I don't know how it was taken or why it was taken that way but it sure wasn't how I meant it to be taken. So I do understand your feeling. Chin up, Hatley. We're human. We all make mistakes and sometimes it's just a misunderstanding.

hi carm and PPE I made it about forty minutes or l ess ago about how so many many people keep asking which pays more making discussions or responding and I had made a little sarcastic title REPEAT AFTER ME MYLOT HAS NO RATES, MYLOT HAS NO RATES.we are paid individually depending on the quality of our posts so why ask which pays more as we have no rates. And it never showed up in Mylot at all. this is a puzzler to me.I did not think even admins would delete something that fast.

I would reword it and try again. We have to remember we are not just asking questions to be answered but are starting DISCUSSIONS. I know how to search for other discussions on here so I am just flying blind when I post something. If you are really questioning why it was deleted why don't you write to the administration and ask? I sure would!

Hi Hatley, Mistakes do happen, whether they are made by you or through an internet connection fault. If it was your fault (which I doubt it), do a search for the topic again to see whether it was a duplicate. If it's a connection problem, just put out your question again, we'll rush in to answer you! Don't be sad and don't feel down, your friends are all around.

hi I finally figured it out.just after I had hit post,mylot popped up in a new screen saying Mylot admins shutting down for short time due to maintenance problem. so I can see my discussion got lost when they shut down. Now I am relieved as I did not see any other discussions on the topic of myhlot not giving any rates of pay for doing all the various things on mylot. so I reworded it , typed it again and it posted nice and quick.no more problem at all. happy happy happy.

my, oh my, I have never experienced a shut down here before. Maybe they could give a warning first before doing that. Imagine if you have typed a long long discussion and wham! it was gone! I can understand how upsetting it was. And you thought you violated some rules, well, have more confidence in yourself!

Hello Mrs Hatley, I just logged in to MYLOT and i can see your 2 discussions started today and are coming on the first page as 'Oh My It disappeared or what?' & 'ok everyone repeat after me, mylot has no rates!! my lot has no rates!!!'.Was it another one??.But yes if it was third and deleted by ADMIN the notification will be sent for it and you will definitely come to know that if it was deleted or not.I know it hurts when our response /discussion get deleted by admin.

I would not worry to much about it. I mean you have been here for four years and thats your first post that had been deleted. Did you ask administration? I think that I had one taken off and that was because I put it in the wrong subject. I didnt ask I actually just havent started any discussions! lol. Dont feel bad about it. It happens to us all at some point. Smile you have done well in your years of dedication to my-lot!

Aww...don't be so hard on yourself. It's hard sometimes not to post something alike or similar. This site has been here a while now and there are a lot of bright people here. Great minds think alike I have always heard. I have searched discussions before and didn't find a thing and then when I posted it...over to the side where the related discussions were...boom...there one was. It hasn't happened to me often but it is bound to happen a couple of times. Mylot makes mistakes sometimes too...I have seen discussions within guidelines and not duplicated at all that have been deleted. One of my good friends on here couldn't start one for a while without it getting deleted. I don't know what was up with that. Anyway..no one is perfect and I wish you weren't feeling so bad about it. Take care and talk to you later.

Hi Hatley, when i saw your this discussion, i checked my email box and only saw 2 topics being started by you. It is this topic and another is the "Mylot has no rates". So, i am not sure which topic that being deleted by Mylot. Recently, i had a few discussions being deleted by Mylot for violating the rules. I know how it feels when seeing our discussions gone missing. Just hope you don't feel sad and worry about it. I am sure you will get notification from Mylot, if it is really being deleted. Hope to see you get on actively like usual in here...
