For those of you under 500 posts and who still can't copy and paste (others are welcome to join as well). What do you think of the copy and paste rule of mylot? (that people can't paste unless they're over 500 posts)
I think it sucks. I want to put in references for what I'm saying, and I can't. I don't want to type in the long url :( :(.
I know it's to reduce spam. But isn't there any other way to reduce spam?

I hate the copy and paste rule right now. In a few WEEKS i might be able to get to 500. I just don't have the time to sit here and type all day so it is taking me quite some time to get up there. I also wish that I could throw in references, urls and things like that but the time it takes me to enter that stuff makes it SO not worth the money I make doing it. I can't wait til i can c & p!

Great answer. Do you think there's a way to have c&p while also avoiding spam?

I doubt it. Because too many people here disregard the rules as it is.
I do think that what they could consider in the future is to deny copy and paste rights to anyone who violates the rules in regards to copying and pasting. No matter what point value they are at, if they did something wrong they lose it for like 30 days or 60 days or some set amount of time. If, when they get back the ability they are reported again for violating the rules they would lose it for even more time. Kind of like a three-strike rule. But everyone should be able to start out with the ability.
