Oh Goodness me - while perusing through the New User Discussion page there were so many RULE BREAKING posts that should actually be audited by the hosts of this site, and obviously deleted or reprimanded!
MyLot is a writing site, not a questioning site - with one liners asking "do you like the weather" (take note that I am using a hypothetical statement)
Sadly many of the more serious ENGLISH writing people are being bombarded with the rubble of rumble and rebuttal found on this page, even repressing their keenness to write and respond.
You may leave your thoughts in pen or should I say #keyboardbanter and I shall offer my thoughts in return!
I am waiting!

We were all once new so I understand that.. but you'd think people explore and read FAQ or search on how the site works before creating a bunch of discussion posts!
When I'm new to a site I like to refer to the FAQ or help.. and browse the site to get familiar with it.

I stopped going there as much. I go to most recent discussions which should include new users, hopefully. It is so dismal to read through posts and not have any idea what they are talking about. Sometimes, I say something stupid like, "that's interesting," or some other nonsense just to answer them.

I am having a job keeping up with my notifications without looking at newbies posts. I wish I had more time!

I don't read or comment on one-liners.

If I read the guidelines correctly this is a discussion site not a writing site. Mylot is by no means anything like Bubblews or Gather or Redgage. One liners are discouraged but if there are two lines then it's ok. The point here is to have discussions.

I think the guidelines state that oneliners are not acceptable but there are those here who actually do have discussions about rain @Inlemay sometimes people just want someone to relate to their feelings about weather problems, we all do things like that.

I'm desperate for new content before I visit the new users posts. Then I usually quietly sneak away in frustration.

It's frustrating because last year @myLotBugs posted about how beneficial it could be to interact on No Response and New User discussions. I can only assume that back then there was a better standard of post to try and interact with.
I seem to remember that Bubblews insisted on a minimum character count (was it 300 or 400?) That might be a little too long for here but maybe 200 might improve the quality.
Hey myLotters! As a lot of you know, I'm the bug guy. I'm definitely an introvert and don't post much. I like reading what others post and chime in when...

Those one liners drive me bonkers. Do you? Do I what? Why would we answer if they ask a question that does not also tell us a bit about them? Do I feel like answering? No. I would uf it said "this is how I feel or what I experienced first and then asked a question.
