I'm browsing through the forums and finding copycat discussions.Please members of mylot stop trying to rort the system by copying other peoples discussions.If you can't come up with a discussion of your own at least have the decency to not copy anothers.We put alot of effort into creating origional discussions and to have them copied is really annoying!

I dont think its a copycat discussions. Cause it happened to me before. Maybe they didn't check the forums 1st before posting a new discussions. End up, there will be 2 same topics posted. Because the words are exactly the same between this 2 topic makes people think its a copycat discussions. Well, this is according to my experience only.

I agree with you entirely ausnikki. I have been trying to start new discussions on new things, but some people don't like that idea. Maybe they would like to start a new discussion, thinking that they will get more money for new discussions rather than responding to old discussions.

I think that's it in a nut shell,they are blatently rorting the system at others expense.
