Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to read LOLs?
No. Reading LOLs on myLOLs is available without creating an account or signing in. Some features or interactions may require authentication or additional information, as described in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Who can publish a LOL?
Eligible users may submit LOLs through myLOLs. By publishing a LOL, you confirm that you have the right to share its content and agree to follow our Terms of Service, content standards, and applicable laws. We may review, reject, remove, or restrict content that violates our policies or creates legal, security, or safety concerns.
Can I publish a LOL anonymously?
Yes. myLOLs allows LOLs to be published anonymously or under an anonymous or pen name. Your real identity is not displayed publicly with an anonymous LOL. However, anonymous publishing does not guarantee that your activity can never be associated with you where information must be disclosed by law or is otherwise processed as described in our Privacy Policy.
Is my personal information shown with my LOL?
Not by default. myLOLs is designed to support anonymous publishing, but you are responsible for the information you include in your LOL, comments, images, username, or other submissions. Do not include personal information that you do not want to make publicly available.
Is there a length limit?
Yes. LOLs must contain between 150 and 220 words. Submissions outside the permitted range may not be accepted until they meet the applicable length requirements.
How are winning LOLs selected?
Where a community voting or winning program is offered, eligible LOLs may be ranked based on community participation, votes, ratings, or other published criteria. Winning or featured status is not guaranteed, and myLOLs may apply eligibility, moderation, fraud-prevention, or other reasonable rules to protect the integrity of the program.
Does myLOLs pay authors?
myLOLs does not guarantee payment simply for publishing a LOL. Eligible LOLs may receive donations from readers. Where the applicable donation program provides for an author payout, the author may receive 80% of an eligible donation after applicable processing, verification, and program requirements are satisfied. Donation availability and payouts are subject to our Terms of Service and applicable policies.
How do I claim donations from my LOL?
Eligible authors may claim donations using the unique LOL Claim Code provided when the LOL is published. The Claim Code is used as part of the verification process for eligible donations. Keep your Claim Code private and secure. Additional information may be required to process a payout through our payment providers.
What happens if I lose my Claim Code?
The LOL Claim Code is an important part of the anonymous donation-claim process. If you lose it, myLOLs may not be able to verify your eligibility through the normal claim process. Do not publish or share your Claim Code publicly, and contact support if you believe your code has been compromised.
Can someone else claim my donation?
Anyone who obtains information sufficient to pass the applicable claim and verification process may potentially attempt an unauthorized claim. Keep your LOL Claim Code private and do not share it publicly. myLOLs may investigate suspicious claims and may delay, restrict, reject, or reverse transactions when reasonably necessary to address suspected fraud or unauthorized activity.
Are donations guaranteed?
No. Donations are voluntary and are not guaranteed for any LOL or author. Eligible donations may be subject to verification, fraud prevention, payment processing, technical limitations, applicable laws, and the requirements described in our Terms of Service.
Does myLOLs use cookies?
Yes. myLOLs may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions, security, preferences, performance, analytics, and advertising. Third-party advertising services such as Google AdSense may also use cookies or similar technologies as described in our Privacy Policy and applicable consent settings.
Why do I see advertisements?
myLOLs may display advertisements through third-party advertising providers, including Google AdSense. Advertisements help support the operation of the platform. Depending on your location, consent choices, and applicable settings, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized. See our Privacy Policy for information about advertising cookies, identifiers, and related technologies.
Can I report a LOL or comment?
Yes. If you believe a LOL, comment, image, or other content violates our Terms of Service, community standards, or applicable law, you can report it through the reporting or support channels provided by myLOLs. Reports may be reviewed by automated systems or human moderators.
Can my ${siteInfo.idea} be removed?
Yes. myLOLs may remove, restrict, modify, or refuse to publish content that violates our Terms of Service, applicable law, community standards, intellectual property rights, or platform safety requirements. Content may also be restricted when necessary to prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or other harmful activity.
Can I delete my LOL?
Where deletion functionality is available, you may be required to provide the unique LOL ID or other information associated with the submission to verify the request. Some information may remain temporarily in backups, security records, legal records, or other systems where retention is reasonably necessary or legally required, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Is the information in LOLs verified?
No. LOLs are generally user-generated and may contain opinions, personal experiences, claims, humor, exaggeration, or fictional elements. myLOLs does not guarantee that user-submitted content is accurate, complete, or independently verified. Readers should use their own judgment when relying on information published by other users.
What information does myLOLs collect?
The information we process depends on how you use the platform. This may include information associated with publishing, authentication, donations, security, moderation, cookies, advertising, and technical operation. We explain our information practices, including third-party advertising and cookies, in our Privacy Policy.
Is myLOLs responsible for third-party services?
myLOLs may rely on third-party providers for services such as authentication, hosting, payments, advertising, analytics, security, and other platform functions. Third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy policies, and their availability or practices may change independently of myLOLs.
