can't you report people for stuff like that? I actually read the guidelines again and I didn't see anything about it in there, but it sounds like something he can get in trouble for..thats just rude!!

I just reported him on mylot...please report abuse on his discussion too. I think the more abuse report the better so mylot can delete this right away. I hope this wont happen again to any other members! This is just sooooo rude!

I agree that it is just plain rude to copy someone elses discussions. I have had people copy my discussions as well and some of my photos and makes me mad and will start reporting them as well. Obviously these people do not have a mind of their own and are trying to make money by taking other peoples ideas and discussions.

I discovered it by looking on the similar discussions about referrals and I found his discussion. I felt really mad!!! when I saw that he just copied my discussion as in! word for word. Thank you:)+

Yeah, I wondered about stuff like that because some of the discussions look duplicated and it's because there are so many people posting them that they probably think the original poster won't see it. It is wrong!!! They should try to regulate that if they can....

This is totally outrageous behaviour, not only did this person steal your discussion but they copied and pasted it because the words are capitalised the same and the referral count is identical. I have heard mention before of discussions being copied, but this is the first example that I have seen. This cannot be tolerated and the sooner Mylot remove people of that calibre the better.

Yes I've heard that too and this is also my first time to actually seen a copy paste started discussion. I've seen lately copied responses but started discussion-word for word? Nah! I can't believe he has this guts and thought no one will discover his tactics...well he is wrong! and we are aware now that he is one these people scamming mylot. You watch out and I hope other mylot members will hit their ! abuse button too once they seen this crap again. Thank you:)+

I am glad that you reported him and wonder how many other discussions he has stolen. He has probably stolen from many of us as well. Thank you for reporting him. I will too if I notice he is stealing from me as well.

Not only mine that he copied. Also one of my responses here said that he as well copied her discussion about Smokers. Seen his discussion and the original one. Same thing to what he did to me....he copied and pasted things and post it as his own!!! Hopefully we can weed out these kind of people!!!!. It I were the admin here I will ban him!

This seems to be happening a lot lately that some People on here are stealing the Discussions and mylot guidelines state that you are to check first so you don't do the same discussions so as far as I am concerned they are cheating mylot out of money by doing this I hope you are going to report him

Yeah, that happens ALOT! Hopefully with MyLot sending out that new alert, they will delete his discussion quickly and he won't get rewarded for copying a post. Did you report him at all?

So he's one of THOSE. I wouldn't worry too much. With mylot crunching down on everyone lately I'm sure he'll get what he deserves. I wouldn't be too happy if people were trying to scam me out of money, so I doubt mylot will be either.

Yes that's true:)+ Mylot deleted his copied discussion already. I am sooo happy that mylot is listening to us:)+

That's what I thought. But I think mylot is giving us the responsibility to report for any abusive acts here in mylot and this maybe the reason why they have ! abuse button just after discussions/responses/comments. Thank you:)+

That is so wrong, it is like he has just copied and paste your discussion and changed it slightly even the words you wrote in BOLD he did also, and isnt it funny that you have the same number of referrals and the same number of active referrals, Maybe your twins lmao sorry, nah seriously i hope mylot does something about that!

If I were the admin, I'll ban his ip of not entering mylot anymore. Well, I checked his profile and he's not been on for 3 days now. I wonder what he is doing now hahahah.

yes it is open and public and people can easily stole our responses/discussions/comments even our pictures. I am glad that I already deleted all of my personal photos in my profile. I am afraid that may also attempt to steal photos lol! This is just soo rude! This needs to be stopped soon. I hope mylot will take action about this.
