I've seen at least a dozen posts today the I've answered before, by someone else, and for the most part, they are word forword. I thought it was against the rules to do this? Are people justgatting lazy, or is this a new fad.Theft of thoughts. sad, really sad

Yes it's against the guidelines and it's also unethical, I think people can think of the same topics and post similar discussions many times but it should be different as each person has its style, copied discussions should be reported if you can find the original, but sometimes it's hard as it can be a bit old and you can't member who posted it originally.
It's really sad but people who will do this may get away with it a few times but they will be caught eventually and lose all their earnings.

I have seen others saying this as well . I can't say that I have come across it yet but think it is horrible that someone would steal something such as someone's post and claim it as their own . I did think this was against the rules and hope they are not getting paid for this as it is just morally not right .
If one would do this then it doesn't say much for them as a person as what else would they do to try and make a few extra dollars and what else would they consider stealing ?
