Reporting people

Will people please grow up on here please. R we not all adults on here? You should treat people on here with respect and not like 2 year olds. But, I do have to admit there are a lot of discussions on here that are simmiar.

Wait, slow down! Are people copying your exact discussions word for word? Or just posting similar discussions? If it's an exact copy, then yes it should be reported. But similar discussions are unavoidable for a few reasons. First, the search fuction doesn't work as well as it should so your discussions may not always show up when a person does a seach. Secondly, do you honestly expect everybody to be able to come up with a completely unique, never been discussed before topic? Seriously, there are too many people here and the site has existed for too long for there not to be lots of similar discussions. Third, just because something has a similar topic, doesn't mean it's the same discussion. We all have our own opinions and viewpoints about things so there's a good chance the other discussions have ideas not included in yours. If you are having trouble getting responses to yours (I can honestly say I do not recall seeing you before) maybe that's something you need to work on yourself. Are your discussions placed in the appropriate and more popular interests? Are you tagging them correctly? Have you made the effort to create a large enough friends list to generate more responses for yourself? Maybe those are some things you should think about for going off on everybody else. Wrongfully reporting all of us won't gain you any popularity either.

I do think that it happens to the best of us. Sometimes it is an honest mistake. Sometimes you don't put in the right tags. Sometimes you simply think you are brilliant and only find out later that you are somewhat less brilliant than you thought you were. With 138,333 people on myLot, and God only knows how many discussions, sometimes it is nearly impossible to do a thorough enough search on a topic to make sure you aren't stepping on anyone's toes. I have to admit to having started discussions similar to those others have started. I don't do it on purpose. I consider myself a fairly good standing myLotian. And, if I notice that I have done it, I go back and apologize for it. So, try to be a little forgiving. I don't think that people are doing it on purpose. And, reporting others who may have made an innocent mistake is a little harsh. I understand your frustration. But, you may be hurting someone else who didn't intentionally do you any harm. Granted, there are those who do that kind of stuff on purpose. Sometimes they are pretty obvious and, other times they are a little more covert about it. But, I think the general population of myLot are good-hearted people who don't mean anyone harm.

babyfirefighter there are a zillion different posts and there are a lot of similar ones but unlessit is word for word and you know it is copied, then you are reporting people who did you no wrong at all, and probably had theirs out before you did. be careful in reporting someone as similar ones are not a crime as in a community this large and with the search button not working half the time there are a lot of similar discussions. you are letting y ourself get paranoid. sure there are a lot like yours unless you have a terrifically unusual topic. but dont report them or youwill be in trouble with mylot. you are new here yet and dont know all the ropes so just go back through all the zillions of discussions and you will see many similar to yours.calm down nobody is copying you at all.
