I just reached 200 next to my name, which apparently means i can now use emotions when i type. You still cant copy and paste until you reach 500. Does any one know the point of this? It seems silly to me, am i the only one who thinks so?

It is kinda silly on one hand. However, I think they are just trying to keep us on the site so therefore they have these rankings to keep you working towards goals. If you have responded to 500 discusions, you deserve to be able to copy and paste. It also lets admin know of your credibility before you just get on and screw something up for someone else!

Yeah i get that part, that they are trying to keep us here. But surely they could think of something a little more sensible?? Like reach 500 posts and get $5 free or something??

It is silly but at the same time it does make sense when it comes to spamming. I personally don't do a lot of copy and pasting. The only times I have used it was when a person asks a question and I go searching the internet for the answers. I give a brief description and provide a link for futher reading. It is the only time I do copy and paste feature. I have noticed that alot of people don't use the copy and paste once they hit 500 because they get so use to typing away.

I think that in some ways it's silly but in other ways it is good. I think the reason Mylot does this is to keep people from spamming. I also think they do it to encourage us to post and stay here. Happy Mylotting!

x_Jo_x . . welcome to the land of emoticons! And to boot . .you have a beautiful blue star next to your name. . the stars do not get any better than blue so my hat goes off to you! At first it is kinda hard to understand why you cant emote until you reach the 200 mark . but think of if this way . . you cant enjoy the ocean till you know how to swim And so there are some things that we just have to strive for . . . Next stop .. cut and paste and picture postings!!! Lotting to you!
