Why Do Cheaters come on myLot?

I ust say that I just ignore discussions like these. Really I should think about giving them a negative rating at the very least, but I guess I just leave it to other people to do that, which isn't very responsible of me! You ahve made me think, and in future I will make sure that if I see a discussion that is breaking the rules I will report them.

I agree with everything you said. I love hitting the ! button to those stupid things. Yesterday I saw a lot of it, I mean one guy had a few pages of just a few letter discussions-that's just plain stupid.

Sadly in life as well as on the internet and great sites like Mylot you will always get cheaters, they will try to use and abuse the system to get money, but most of the time they get found out or reported and any money they have made out of cheating is lost, so in the end they never win! So all they are doing is cheating themselves!

don't you worry , i do not think they would last long here at mylot because mylot would notice them and besides there a lot of us than them.try getting new friends to discuss with.people who has an open sense of communicating rather than just money money money in their mind.

Anywhere there's money to be made, you'll find cheaters and scammers who try to game the system. A lot of websites don't really do much to control them, so I think som people come here, thinking they're going to get away with it. They don't read the rules, so they don't realize that most of what they're doing won't make them any money because people will give them negatives, report them, or just not bother to reply to their discussions. They're really no different from people who scam old people out of their savings or pretend to be qualified workmen and start repair jobs, then leave with the money they've been given. The ones who come to sites like Mylot are just penny ante versions.

Plain and simple, money. I know exactly what you are talking about. I find those what is questions to be so irritating. I mean like one or two is okay here and there, but when the same person posts one right after the other, it's irritating. I just don't even waste my time with them.

When I first joined myLot, I did not really worry too much about the cheaters. I did not really think it was worth the time it took to report them since my computer is so slow. Then one day I decided to read from the discussions from my interests, and went through 36 pages of one-liners written by three members before coming to anything else. That was when I started reporting one-liners. Plagiarism is something that I have always reported, but as with the one-liners, there was one instance, which was finally the last straw. One day I posted a discussion, and quickly got my first response. When I went to see what the response said, someone had posted part of my own discussion as his response! I went to his profile and checked his responses and sure enough, he had done the same thing to many others. I guess that is when I said enough is enough. We do not want or need these people here.

Well I must be dumb, because I don't recognize a copy and paste discussion. I wouldn't even know what to look for, or how you even know. Maybe I have just been fortunate so far, and haven't come across any. Maybe just letting it go, might be the best thing. Policing doesn't get you any where, it just causes more aggravation for you. Believe me, I know.
