There is nothing to say that we cannot link to other discussions concerning the same topic and many of us do this. The Guidelines tell us "Don't Post comments in threads for the purpose of drawing attention to another thread on a different subject" http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx We cannot direct others to our profiles because that is self-promoting which is not allowed as per admin's response at #5 here: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2589174.aspx

yes, many people do post link related to the topic as you have done her you have posted a link of discussion which has answer from admin which clears everything. thanks for links which are relevant to the topic. ohh.. Mylot Discussion Guidelines have increased in numbers I think the list was less compare to last time when i visited but now the list is huge. I think Mylot has updated it.

I learn something every day, never understood that link to mean something on the same subject thing before. Ok, here is some mylot stuff you can link to. The profile of Bluedoll is interesting. Why? Because she has some interesting discussions, like 10 whole pages of them and if you check them out you will see she answers all the people that visit her pages too. Well, they are not really her pages but you know what I mean, discussions she created. So come on over, if you are looking for good discussion come and visit Bluedoll’s stuff, a really nice person who has started a lot of mylot discussions. Bluedoll, “a friendly mylotter that likes to discuss stuff”

When I am responding I often link to a similar, though different, topic but not if I posted it myself. I often respoind on those topics concerning the questions about stars or ratings or whatever and rather than repeat the same thing over and over again, I link to one of the more illustrative discussions which already discussed the same thing.

oops I thought that was only positive affirmations? Seriously, it sometimes tough to decern what is ok as a link and what is not when you are knee deep in thought. So thanks for setting it straight it helped.

Yes even this is not allowed due to they don't like us promoting our discussions like this. The best thing is gaining new friends on here you can trust and then taking time to respond back in discussions they have started to where in time they will want to respond back to yours.

Hi GajaGamini , Hi KrauseHome, Hi everyone I am finding this discussion a little confusing. Can anyone say what is meant by “promoting mylot stuff on mylot”. What did we want to promote exactly? I’ve read over the discussion but still not understanding what promoting of mylot stuff means? What I do understand is promoting links that bring people outside of mylot for the purpose of solicitation is not allowed. For many mylot is only about money and money becomes the reason for promotions and that is against the rules. I do understand how that kind of promotion is huge problem. Promotion though need not always be about money. For example, since I have no banners or outside links on my profile page, my only reason for meationing it here this once concerns the promotion of good will. I can’t see how that is wrong? Since mylot is made up of members then promotion of discussion itself might be praiseworthy?

hi, promoting Mylot stuff on Mylot means, promoting profile page link, irrelevant own discussion links, etc which can direct us to their content. everyone wants to get profile views and a lot of responses and comments on discussion started by them but for that we should not promote our profile page link or discussion link in any discussion. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2648151.aspx in this discussion user has mentioned a link which is relevant to discussion which is a another discussion started by him, but if anyone is adding or putting link which is a completely irrelevant to discussion would be consider as promotion.

promoting discussion is not allowed and it is right because discussions would be flooded with links and text see my this discussion or my discussion rather than the responses and comments about the topic. yes, making friend and having friends is good way to get responses and comments to our discussion. if we comment on our friends discussion then they may visit our profile and comment on our discussion. it would be depend on our activity - more we active more exposure we get.

yes...there are lot of people here who have already done this...they keep giving link to their earlier discussions....but what my view is do whatever ...but give the links at proper place...like when u r discussing and there is some thing which is related to that topic then u can surely do that....

to ask people to visit your profile is against mylot rules. read the guidelines again to get all this clear in your mind. You do not need really to direct people to your profile as its there for all to look at if they want to anyway. I often check profiles of friends to find any new discussions I might have missed.,sometimes mylot has glitches and the fastest way for me to find new discussions from my 'friends is to check their profile. do heed dianas resp onse as she gives you links to check out the informaition you need,.
