When Can I copy and paste when response? I can not even copy and paste content belong to myself. It is annoying. When I copy and paste, it said:"In order to help prevent spam, only users with a rating greater than 500 are allowed to paste. " What does it mean? I have rank top 500 on this site in order to copy and paste? It is impossible for a new user. Because some guys came here several years ago have thousands of posts already. Any good suggestions?

If we post 50 a day , then 10 days you have 500 post for copy and paste. But for me hardly I can post 10 a day unless a full day. Well funny suggestion for you, give your site to your 5 friends ask your 5 friends to post 10 a day, so can reach 500 fast, just kidding only.

Really kidding! You should ask them to be your referrals. Then you do not need to post any more.

It means that you need to answer or post 500 discussions. It takes time, but is doable. Post interesting conversations, answer those posts which grab your interest and in no time, you will have 500 posts and be able to copy and paste! It is frustrating, though! I cannot do it yet either, and have been a member for just over a week. It will come.

I can't agree with you. Does "rating greater than 500" mean "answer or post 500 discussions"? Waiting for some experienced ones to answer this question. Thank you in advance.

See the 30 you have by your name? That is the responses and or discussions you have started and posted in. You have to post in 500 to be able to copy and paste. Some people that have a ton of post yes have been here awhile. I think I've been here a couple of years. You'll get up there just depends on how much time you want to spend in mylot to see your numbers rise you u can cut and paste or add pictures to your comments
