Did every one else recive the following Alert and what do you think about it ?
Description
It is a strict violation of the myLot community guidelines to copy the topics, comments, and responses of other users and paste them as your own contribution. Anyone who participates in this activity will have their account cancelled without warning and will forfeit all accumulated earnings.
The vast majority of users positively contribute to our community, and it’s unfortunate that a small handful will seek to lower discussion quality for their own (perceived) gain. But this comes as no surprise, as any thriving online community must battle the spammers.
As fast as we’re growing, it’s impossible for the myLot staff to catch every violation on our own. This is where you can help!
If you discover a violation of the myLot terms, please report the matter to us by clicking on the boxed exclamation point on the lower right-hand side of any topic, response, or comment. You will then have the opportunity to “Report Abuse” and explain why you think that particular post violates the myLot community guidelines. We will then investigate the matter and respond accordingly.
Rest assured that each and every Report Abuse submission is reviewed and investigated. Not all Report Abuse submissions will result in action taken by myLot. We will have final say regarding any potential violation, but the Report Abuse system is the perfect way to bring these matters to our attention.
There are three boxes on the lower right-hand side of each topic, response, and comment. The plus and the minus factor into our Discussion Ratings System (DRS), and the exclamation point (as described above) is used to report abuse. Please click here to visit our FAQ for a detailed explanation of each box in the DRS.
Thanks for your help in maintaining quality on myLot!

You didn't have to copy and paste the alert... every member receives it. Since YOU asked what we think about it, why didn't you tell us what you thought? LOL

I think it is good to report users if it is serious enough. Like rasist remarks or something like that. But sometimes it's diffucult there are allot of members on here and I know that it aint unpossible for 2 users to have the same or close too same genuine question.
