There are obvious members on here that spam. What I mean with spam is that they post like 100 questions, one after another. There is a member on here that is literally copy question from like a board game like trivia pursuit! Do you think this is cheating? Maybe mylot should restrict these guys to posting only 20 questions or something? Is this excessive? Posting 100's of questions over and over again?
Anyone interested in helping to report these spammers and cheaters? If so, please visit my profile. We have a group going to help each other find these guys and report them! :) Please join!

Count me in, for sure. I've been spending more time reporting these people for abuse and getting aggravated than I have responding to discussions. Mylot definitely needs to make some major changes here, or else those of us who post good, quality comments will be driven out, and Mylot will be left with the riff-raff. I hope that we can stick with this and keep reporting to admin. until they do something. Sometimes people tend to give up and say "it's never going to change". I've never been a quitter!!
Here is what I've been pasting into my abuse reports for one particular user all morning, and I'm sure you can figure out who it is:
1. User is spamming.
2. Posts multiple and frequent trivia questions (not discussions).
3. All require a simple answer, which he could easily obtain from a simple online search.
4. These are not in any way quality discussions.

Ahh! I wanted to "report" this guy but couldn't figure out what to put. Thanks for these ideas. I will be using your words! :) Hope you don't mind?! We are definitely talking about the same person. :) I have already listed his link in our yahoo group. This guy is so annoying too...

I just noticed that the majority of the trivia questions posted by the user (should I say "Loser"?) I mentioned have disappeared already! Score one for the Good Guys!

After reading a post from another member I went to a particular members discussions. Most of his discussions were copied and pasted from Yahoo discussions, word for word. I have sent an email to MyLot to alert them.

Yes, that guy is totally annoying and I'm sure most of us know who it is. I kept seeing him as top user so reported him more than once. I see he is still at it though. I'll look at your profile for information about ending this stuff on here. I left another answers site for this reason.
