Those pesky myLot™ guidelines...again

God forbid people actually follow the rules! That would be asking too much! A while ago, we had to close a facility for a day for some maintenance work. We posted a big sign at the front door. On the day the facility was closed, an angry patron called our boss cussing him out about the facility being closed. My boss forwarded the complaint to me, and when I contacted the lady, she was screaming at me that there should have been some sort of notice about the facility closing, so she didn't have to waste her time driving all the way there. I told her we had a big sign posted at the front door an entire week before the facility closed, and she said to me: "You expect me to read those signs?" I kid you not!

Lol. Well rules are part of life, I can't imagine all the spam that would be here without them. If they don't have time to read them then they really don't have time to be here either.

Yep! There's so much I'd like to post but don't because-RUL:ES!

Some people view rules and guidelines as a challenge to break. I'm not in that group, but there are clearly those here that either do that or just fail to read them.

my only complaint is that they arent easier to find when you are new. to me "help" means I need it, not help learning how to use the site.

I try and help new members out where possible by giving the link to the guidelines etc and if they want to read them that's up to them...you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink and all that jazz My main bugbear at the moment is more established members getting the earnings information utterly wrong and "explaining" their wrongness to newer members. One particular person just does not get it and explaining gets you blocked

Ah! There it is. I've been looking for those guidelines. I thought I looked through everything already. Why didn't it occur to me that it would be under help? D'oh! Thanks for the link. Anyway, so they still delete discussions here? I kind of thought they were a bit more lenient now because I've seen too many (may I call them) non-discussion posts out there. I, for one, haven't posted a new discussion for four years or so now. There is always that fear or worry that it might not be acceptable. But I do have one in mind right now. Will be posting it shortly. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's ok.

Sorry, I have no time to read that

The one I see broken the most is from longer term myLotters posting milestones. I'll telllya though, I don't report them. What I'm pleased to report is plagiarism, because there are some people here who really go to a lot of trouble to post something original. Not me, but some people. I notice when you bend those guidelines, you usually post a warning it's likely to get removed, I always think it's polite of you, lol

The most violated rule is Posting personal milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc I see dozens every day. It's not the only one of course.

I think I've only read them once, and I certainly can't remember what was in them!

If other Mylotters would just ignore discussions that are in violation,or if they must comment...tell the poster that this discussion violates the terms of use. Instead, I see seasoned my lottery adding their 2 cents? Worth to the discussion.....why? Why? Why?

Well you just reminded them again buddy, what can we say? Thank you.

Thank you for the link.Just read through the guidelines.

Preaching to the converted, or to deaf ears...

People are much too busy to read Terms and FAQ pages. Didn't you know that?

lol... 70% of the time that i spot your comment on a post...it is a reminder of the Community Guidelines...
