I've been thinking about this for awhile. I guess I haven't made a discussion about it yet because I am not sure how to word it. I have seen discussions that I swear were a repeat, and no I don't mean the millions of discussions about pizza and ice cream, or tea and pepsi. I am talking about actually REPEAT REPEAT discussions.
That is to say a discussion that has been repeated word for word by the exact same person. I know there's been a few instances of repeated discussions from someone else, that is to say the exact content but a different person.
Have you seen any of what I am talking about? I am pretty certain I have but it's hard to tell as not only do I think it's been awhile, but also it seems the Person involved makes a lot of discussions which makes it hard to tell what is a repeat and what is not. After all similarities can seem to be repeats too.
So have I lost my mind or have you seen this too?
Do you know what I Am talking about, or just responding to get money?

Hi basqui!
This one is from the same username, it's like they make a discussion and wait until they think people forget it before reposting. I don't want to say too much without proper evidence, but I have seen it done before.

I saw the same thing you did. I am pretty sure this person is on their way out if they continue as they have. Is it the one where they originally said some friend of theres did a discussion on their name and then they continued onlong the same lines? Some people just don't care about rules and do as they please no matter what the outcome.

yup I know what you are talking about and that is against the rues as they say its to do with copy write or spamming being a copy cat.
Now I havent seent he same person do the same post over again but am sure there might be some.
and wehn they are copied they need to be reported to mylot so they can handle it!

You mean they repeat their own discussion?
I've seen people copy other people's discussions. And even take them and change the words so they look a little different.

I did see this once - a discussion posted word for word from another person's response but they copied and pasted it into another discussion. Really awful and yes they should be reported. I also believe that regretfully they just want to earn money at a faster rate.

I can't recall seeing this here, but may be I have just skipped it. I have seen people copy my discussions/ topics on other sites and attribute it to themselves. Usually someone else has seen it and had reported it.

I know what you are talking about, and I even think I know who you are talking about. If I do not know your "who" then there is at least one more like him. The other bad thing is, I think the discussions are the type that get deleted a lot. So then he just starts it again. Not really sure, so I do not respond.

I Haven't really been paying attention. i guess I should paying more attention huh. I think myLot is doing such a better job at gettting the bad discussions or repeating discussions off of here but it does take time especially when they have been doing this for a while
