Hello mylotters! I know that we all, MAYBE, experienced here in mylot already to post discussions with zero responses. But just a note, this is not posted to know your feelings about this but i want to know if what are you doing with those discussions? Will you just leave it even it was stuck for weeks or months of having zero responses and you think that there is no hope of having even just a single? Or you will just delete it? Well i guest it is not possible, is it? What can you say?

I will never have any post of mine deleted willingly for whatever reason even if it got zero responses. The only topics that did get deleted was during those early days before I knew better, for not following the guidelines. Needless to say, you will learn before too long but it is beside the point. No matter what however, zero responses means nothing to me.
There have been an instance or two where about a year later, someone responded to a zero response topic. It did in fact take me completely and utterly off guard when someone posted right in it, but really it is appreciated. It just goes to show you that sometimes topics might not get any interest for a while but some users look through old topics and respond to them from time to time. So that did please me.

I will not just delete it after all. I might lose some of my earnings if it will happen.

If you ask for it to be a deleted, and admin deletes it, then you would lose the earnings for it. After all you did make the effort to type it and why should you lose those earnings?
Instead, why not contact a friend on your list, asking them if they will respond there for you so that it is no longer with zero responses? Once it receives some activity it will appear at the top of some of the lists again and it might receive more responses too.
Worth a try surely?

If it was possible, I still wouldn't have it deleted. I mean, you'll never know if someone suddenly comments on it eventually. But I also think myLot might consider setting some form of time limit to posts that didn't generate any responses. I mean, if it's been in the queue for a year or more, myLot should remove it without waiting for the one who posted it to request for its deletion. Well, just a thought :)

I wouldn't delete it.I would just ask a few friends to make some poets there.

If you made a post and it has zero posts, I'd just wait and see if anyone responds to it. Why go and delete when it could be a very good convo? Even if it takes a long time for someone to reply, its always better to wait and see what happens. Well probably not always, but you get my drift.
