I can't believe that this person has copied and pasted all my discussions as his/her OWN check this out first http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1133495.aspx They haven't even bothered to take my name out of the discussion if you please! I have reported this as well as the other discussions, the cheek, thankfully I was reliably informed what was going on by one of my good friends Has this ever happened to you? Maybe I should be flattered, but right now I thinking the bare faced cheek, to copy one discussion is bad enough but his discussions he has stolen every one of them from ME!

Hi friend ..I am newbie..so how can this actually happened? Definitely that person knows he will be caught...it not like you can just disappear away after stealing something..I will never do such thing..normally I post discussions..I try to search if anyone has posted the same stuff before..but to copy and paste the entire discussion..I simply can't imagine...

First of all welcome to Mylot, unfortunately like life there are cheaters and this site has had it's fair share of them, they are ALWAYS reported and don't stay on the site for long, as the saying goes, you can run, but you can't hide! Cheaters LOSE EVERY TIME!

Wow wolfie, I have never seen it quite so bad and obvious.. chit at least try and change something or take the name out for gods sake!!!!! I reported as well. Unbelievable. Its easier to just come up with stuff yourself, or for that matter don't start discussions just post!

Good gracious .. don't folks realise they will get 'caught out' .. how daft can they get .. I had this happen to me when I first signed up .. it 'is' flattering .. I suppose .. that someone feels your work is good enough to be copied and pasted and made their own .. but it's also INFURIATING .. and I always, always, ALWAYS report folks who do it .. not just to me but whenever I spot it happening ..

Oh My Gosh! I am glad that someone told you about this. I'll be upset too and hope mylot do something about this and come to think of it how did he/she manage to copy and paste since it's not 500 and besides that he used your name Wolfie instead of pinalpatel stand up ect,ect...anyway I do remember that you had that discussion and I think I did response to it. What a shame what is with these people and yet you said the month of June is your bad month well buddy I belive you .Thanks for telling us about this.Oh no I just checked his profile and yet he DID steal all of your discussion now I am getting mad. Hope Mylot do something about this.

Hello,wolfie,sorry to hear that he had copied your whole discussion with your name still on the discussion.His other discussions are also copied from other people?? I think we should do something together to clear this. I have not had this experience personally but some of my friends have been copied by the other people,they got help from their friends and not long after,the people who copied their discussions had been banned from mylot. No worry.

Hey question, if he can not copy and paste yet (not at 500) how was he able to do it?

Exactly that's what I'd like to know, someone actually thought I had changed my name which was a fair comment because the discussions are all mine he stole. This is the first time it's happened to me and I appreciate my friends helping me out on this one, in the past when this has happened to my friends I have reported it without FAIL, cheaters are NOT wanted on Mylot

Not long ago,someone had started discussion telling people how to copy and paste before 500 posts,may be that guy had read that discussion or he was able to figure out how to do so by himself,I think many peopke also know how to do it as it happened that those people who copied others' discussions are less than 500 posts.

It seems the other discussion has been deleted. I'm sorry, I would have liked to see what they copied. People have a lot of nerve, or they're just lazy.

now, Why would someone try to take advantage of one of the most popular posters in here???? Let it be known that Wolfie has friends here and we look out for each other. If you cheat here, you get reported here...sorry wolfie that someone would do this..it is so unfair.....

LOL! Well by the time I got to this thread, the offender had been deleted, but I would just say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!". You are a great and successful poster wolfie, - so take it as a compliment. As for me - you know me - if it happened to me I would just laugh!!! Warped sense of humour - that's me:-))

Lol.. That's just pathetic to copy someone else's and pretend that they did it is just stupid. I hope the person got banned. (I also hope mylot do something to prevent this) reminds me of da (d-art) where shameless artists rip others and nothing ever happens. Least your worthy of being copied though buddy, however annoying it is you should be proud. (yet it would make me mad too) ~Joey

That is disgraceful and you've definitely done the right thing in reporting it. Some people are so lazy and at worse, theives. I've always liked your discussions because they are things that I can relate to or feel that I've got something to add to, some people need to learn about plagarism.

hi i just went to go there to and its been removed so couldnt see people do anything for money i guess and this just proves it. I cant belive they would go this far for a few dollars honestly if it was millions we probably all do it but for ten dollars nah aint worth the effort.

The one that you have listed the link to has already been deleted. It's too bad because I think I would have loved to see who it was. That's horrible that this person did that. I hope he/she gets banned.

Hi this looks like it has been dealt with which is good I think copying discussion questions is bound to happen on a huge site like Mylot, but copying all your answers thats definately not right thankfully this has now been dealt with.

Yep, I've had it happen also. On My Lot,I was notified by the poster who felt bad because he gave a best response to the wrong posting. So, the guy not only copied and pasted my response in the same discussion but he got a "Best Response" for it. I reported it to My Lot and they removed his posting and took back the "best Response". It was even worse when I had it done to me on eBay. I'd posted a rare book and when I noticed the bids were falling off, I knew someone had posted the same item on top of me and was siphoning off my bids. I choose not to read the other listing until my listing expired and lo and behold the creep had copied my entire description right down to a spelling error (I'm a lousy speller and I don't alwaysuse Spellcheck). Anyway, he not only took away bids but he stole my description to do it. Talk about adding insult to injury! I reported him to eBay and they gave him a warning and took down his listing. At least these web sites stand by their policies against plagiarism. It's interesting what you said about maybe feeling flattered. That was my first thought when I heard about the guy on My lot and that feeling lasted only until I read his cut and paste. Then, it was anything but flattering. These people are about as nervy and crass as they come and will stop at nothing. They need to be reported.

The discussions have been removed now you'll be glad to know, I can't believe people actually think they'll get away with so blatantly stealing someone else's discussion. As far as I know it's never happened to me but I don't start a lot of discussions really. In a way it's flattering I suppose that they thought your discussion was worth stealing, but un-ethical all the same.

Hi,wolfie34! Sorry to hear that your discussions have been stolen by a cheater!That's too cheeky! I have never encountered this situation because I have started only 5 discussions here.But if I encounter this problem,I will be angry. There is someone who is shameless and I think Mylot.com should kick the one out of here.

yeah i checked him out and most of his discussions have been deleted but the few that are still there have been stolen from someone else- mostly you. I guess in a way you should be flattered that he has chosen you but obviously it is infuriating to spend your time posting quality discussions only to have someone cheat and steal them. I guess he will get his come-uppence from the mylot admin team sooner or later
