Do you really like copy/paste for posting here?

When I was below 500 posts, I was thinking when i will reach there I will do nice copy/paste and thus will be able to posts lots of discussion in short time. Now I laugh at my thought! After 500 till today, I was not able to do that to increase my postings. Actually I do not feel like i am satisfied with that and more over what i want to say is expressed better when I type it here instantly. If something I feel I have to ask you or let you know about something, I start typing in between other work. what about you all? Do you think that way you can express yourself perfectly or just do it when want to!!! Do you like actually copy/paste after reaching 500?

I can think of perhaps one or two ocassions where I copy/pasted and both times it was when I was quoting something from a website or something like that. I really just don't see the need to use that feature too much.

I think it's nice that the gave us this option, because when i post a discussion i can't copy/ paste at this moment, but when i typed the internetadress i typed it wrong, that's why it's very easy when you can paste you don't have the opportuniti to type something wrong. I really gonna use it only for internetadresses and the rest of the text i will type by myself.

If you have found something that you really need to transfer as it is written it's ok. But steeling someone else's written stuff..... no that's a discrace.

First you are not supposed to be copying and pasting we want your heart felt response not what some one else felt repeated to us you would be amazed that writing your own response is just as fast as copy paste,I hope that you will reconcider the copy paste method and give us a heart felt response.Have a great day.

TO be pretty honest, it dosent matter for me the posting go high. But what matters is I being loyal. When I recieved my ffirst payment I knew MyLot.com is genuine and I do not play with my earning. I am loyal to it.

Ahahah. I feel just like you! I reached my 500 posts today and I went to some discussions about recipes. I copied and pasted some recipes that I had in my bookmarks and that's it. I read the discussions and they are not the kind of discussions that you can just copy and paste something.

dear cmsk, I am more like you, never could actually materialise on the benefits of COPY and PASTE. Before reaching 500 posts i was excited about this face but after that, as far as i can remember, i didnot really used it for supportive reasons. I prefer to log in and write my thoughts jst in the box and when i donot have time i donot have time for offline efforts as well. Thanks.

I like to TRY to spell check my work, cause I am anal that way, LOL. So yes, I do love my copy n paste. I had it at first cause when I first started here, Mylot did not have that rule. Then at around 400 posts they issued it and took it away from me. Man I went nuts! I worked and I think I got it back with in a day. I use it a lot, especially when I come across a word I am not sure on how to spell. I am a terrible speller so there are many of them. It's so much easier to just cut n paste from word than to keep looking up each word up.

I am sad that I can not copy paste till 500 because I have arthiritis for one, and it would save my hands to paste helpful articles I have written, rather than have to type them all over again. Also I often use notepad for my discussions and responses because my pc tends to have too many hiccips and freezes, and I inevitably end up spending 20 minutes writing a response just to have it completely lost when the pc crashes. I will be so happy when I can copy/paste here.

i still remember the time when i cant wait to reach 500 so i can be able to copy and paste. :) and when i finally reached that goal i was very exited. not that i have almost 2000 posts i can only smile at the thought and realize that i never use the copy/paste anyway.

Hello cmsk!(",) Yes, I do use this feature when I reached 500. I use it when I answer or reply to discussions asking the same question so, I just copy and paste to save time and effort. I cannot use this feature if I relate a personal story or expressing my own personal views about certain topics. I also use this feature when quoting some words of wisdom from the net. One should be wise in using this feature her in mylot. I do hope that others will not abuse it use.(",) Great day and God bless!(",)

I have just started....& ther's a long distance for me to reach till 500.!!! I have heard about something through which we can Copy/paste even without completing 500posts.... Truly speaking, I'm waiting for my 500 Posts to complete but I agree that we have to write without which we can't convey our feelings.!!!!!!!

Hi cmsk2005! When I was below 500, I was thinking also that I will just do the copy and paste thing so that it will be easier to answer to as many discussions but until now I have never done so. I guess I wanted to be more descriptive and more expressive for each discussion at hand. Take care and have a nice day!

I never thought about that copy/pasting, even after reaching 500 posts. In fact, it never crossed my mind that I'd copy and paste here. I find it really unfair, if ever I'd be doing that. I'll just think of others here, working and typing hard just to post and earn fairly. The only copy/pasting I do here is, whenever I would post a link referring to mylot's guidelines and FAQ's.

I cant yet copy/paste and i sorta wish i could only so i could do a spell check, but then i also agree that when you write your first draft is always better, the next one usually seems to be rushed (with some parts being left out) Or i also sometimes think of more to add thatends up making it run on or loose its focus so Im not sure if I will use cut and paste once i get to 500.

Am way below 500 and i dont see the point in cut and paste, it defeats the purpose of this. i guess if you are in here to make money, cutting and pasting would definitely increase the number of points you earn. however, the question is, if someone you notice just cuts and pastes there is always the risk of people starting to rate her postings negatively which if i am correct, will not earn her as much as posting original thoughts. Of course, when I joined initially last week, i thought I wanted it to be a money earning venture and if I wanted to, I guess i could, because i'm practically on the computer 24/7. But, I cannot even get myself to reply in one - two sentence paragraph just to comment on something. I enjoy this now as a spare time activity. I post new things when something comes to mind, or i glance through the discussions to see whether i have an input that may help answer the discussion presented.

nah no, for me i do not like it. because if i was doing that then i would not get any informations from you guys out there or any knowledge at all. also it helps me enhance my spelling, my english and so as the grammar. well it is better if you read those things you have seen here in the net and make your own word, type it so that there is a practice in your word comprehension. also it helps your reflexes and your brain is working because you are typing while thinking. right?

I think the copy-paste method will very useful for me when I reach the 500. Lots of times when I try to help somebody where can download something I need this function. It's terrible when you must type in a long website adress with php contest. Or when I want to post a recipe it will good way too. But I think I'll never use it for copy and paste another person's response or mine twice.

For me, doing copy and pasting never comes in my mind. Besides I also enjoy the feeling that I can express my thoughts the feelings through this and I really enjoy joining discussion especially when the topic caughts my interest.
