Did you notice it? some copied the response of others word for word?

This is becoming a plague on here and there have been many users caught doing it, reported and banned. This one is no different. There is no 'first time', 'second chance' or any other excuse. If a user cannot post their original work here then they must GO back to where they came from -immediately!

Hi Bebs, That is why mylot suggest that we should review other's comment before we summit ours, I have seen such kind of topic before -they are angry because their idea is plagiarized. Frankly, it is very hard to judge whether the concept is being plagiarized as somebody did not see other people's comment before they summit theirs. It is quite a chance that they have same thinking and the same expression. Sometimes I will go to mylot directly from my e-mail summary, thus I will not read other people's comment. Under such circustance, I am not sure whether I post the same comment as other mylotter.

Bebs08! I did not notice it. But, I do know that this has happened before, to me that is. Someone told me that someone copied my word for word response. MyLot suspended my account and I was unable to post. Members and myself had to fight my way back in. I don't know why people will do this. My guess is that they are just too lazy to think of their own response to say. They can't come up with a response, so they copy others responses. When myLot finds out, they may get their account suspended..

Hi Bebs! Yes, in other discussions, I've noticed a lot of copiers actually. Maybe they want to earn but do not have the capacity to write their own ideas so they are just copying the thoughts of others. With my own posts, no one has really copied word for word but I spotted some who only copied the ideas of the first respondents and it was really so hard to rebuke them because they might say, they did not copy but it just happened that they have the same ideas. However should I experience a word for word copier in any of my posts, maybe I would directly tell him not to respond anymore if she has not idea of his own.

Yes, I have encountered one user who has been plagiarizing, but not in my discussions. So, what I did before I went through his profile and checked his activities. He did exactly what you have come across in your discussion. He copied the response above his! It's just so unfair to the original respondent and I can't tolerate this kind of things, so I reported the 'abuse' to the admin. I don't go to every discussion and look out for them, but if I see one, I will report. They should know that their accounts could be suspended or terminated because of cheating. Maybe you can tell that to the person you mentioned above.

Plagiarizing is a serious problem in all earning sites. People would do everything to earn extra bucks (and there are lots of them). Sometimes, it even destroys the reputation of the sites if not controlled and given appropriate attention by the site owners. Hope that in mylot, many of us would be vigilant and report all inaapropriate acts.

Well, sometimes since this was a New person they might not be aware that this is not acceptable here, and they need to not do this in order to keep their account here, but then it could be someone deliberately doing this as well but you really never know. I have seen it from time to time places around here, and it can be annoying. I also have had people copy one of my discussions and try it on as their own as well. So you never know.

yup,it seems some people are here only for the money part which mylot offers and they do it by hook or crook,i have seen several cases of these before,its better to forget about the incident and carry on with our work.

I think all you can do is post a reply to her response, that her post is obviously copied from the one above. If she is new, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. It does sound a fair bit like obvious cheating though. Perhaps tell her,that if people are known to do this, they are likely to be reported. I have not had that particular expreience. Although I have had 4 word responses. I just ignore them.

I have not noticed that one yet but a week or so ago there was a beautiful post here that was copied word for word from elsewhere. It was so well written and so I looked and sure enough....it was a very popular writing. There were no credits given to the author and the poster wrote it as her own. Maybe she did write it but I asked her and got no answer so who knows.

No, she must have done it by mistake. Sometimes, it happens that we push 'post' button and the next page does'nt appears or it stopps at some point. Since we are short in patience, we use to press F5 to have the page appear to us. but the bad news is that it reposts the response and you can see the same response appearing twice in a discussion. So, she must have done like that but as a good myLotter she must have appologized about it!

Sounds like these posters are trying to cheat the system. You know that makes me angry.It is because of people like that, that those of us who obey the rules and don't cheat are punished. By doing that it will cause the rules to be changed making things a little harder and what will the person who is just coping responses do? Change? No they will move onto somewhere else where they can cheat

Pretty sad that's all I can say...:/

That is so stupid people are always looking for the easy way out. I would report them too. I don't see how you would even think that is okay in anyway shape or form. Good luck on your decision.

There have been reports of copy cats here in the site. I feel disgusted with these people who copy other peoples' responses, thinking that by cheating they can earn more. I have nothing against people wanting to earn extra money online, but cheating is so low.

hi i haven't noticed that. just report him to the admin. that's the least you can do. or just comment on the one concerned. anyways, there's no harm in trying.the admin will be judging fairly.

Hi Bebs, I responded once to someone on my friends list who wasn't really a regular friend, but I thought the comment back was so nice I opened it to check the discussion. Imagine my suprise to find that the same comment had been given to each responder with just an indivual word change after the obvious copy and paste job. I remarked on it and the poster came back to say I was wrong, each response was individual. As it clearly wasn't I reported it as one can't copy and paste identical responses, the responses were deleted and I deleted the person from my list.

I think it's not allowed, that's why mylot will only allow a user to cut and paste ones you reach the minimum number of posts. But i find it funny that someone who is not yet able to cut and paste a response is able to post the same response verbatim. If she's a newbie, I think she needs to be guided and give her enough time to adjust. I'm sure if given enough time, she'll learn eventually. Cheers!

yes i notice that some users used to do this.they copied the response of others with little bit modifications...

a type of cheating ^^....to comment very fast and earn very fast ^^
