your rating is at 500??? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. I'm trying to copy/paste an article link into a new mylot discussion i was starting. Instead I had to write it out, which I did, but when I submitted it, I realized i was missing one word from the link and now I can go back and edit or delete the darn thing all because mylot wont let me copy/paste. This is ridiculous. What is this, the dark ages?

I agree with you, it is stupid that we have to wait until we have 500 posts to copy & paste. I have a connection where the phone line becomes busy whenever I'm online and I would rather write my questions offline and paste them later, then tie up the phone line for an hour while I think of questions to ask. It's also annoying when you want to spell check something, you cut your text off of the MyLot page and paste it into Word only to find out that you have to retype everything that you wrote! Lol, the 500 posts copy & paste thing here sucks. XD

You don't seem to have as much trouble with spelling and grammar as lots of others on myLot do.

It seems to go against the idea of making this the biggest web site on the internet. We would reach that goal a lot quicker if we could paste into these discussions.

I think they see it as more of a reward for being a user. If you have 500 or more post counts that means you have been using the site awhile and so they reward you with the copy and paste function in the same way that they reward users that reach 200 or more by letting us use the smiley faces
