Do you cheat with Mylot? I think it is wrong. If you knew who the person was would you rat on them. I was just curious about that? because there are people here that are cheating for pennies. Doesn't that tell you a lot about a person? Cheating for pennies, I would never do that. Have a nice day!!!

I think it's stupid too. I usually report, rate -, and move on. Ocassionally I feel the need to comment about the cheating so everyone will avoid that user or at least that discussion.

Well I dont know any one that cheats but I bet people will be cheating if they saw this thread since somepeople give good ideas of how to cheat. But would I cheat like that no the only thing I do is copy my post and paste them in another exact thread why bother typing up the same thing for the same qestion. But I would never copy someone elses post unless if it was by mistake. But I wouldnt turn them in since I porbally would not even notice they were cheating.

arcidy- That is a violation as well. It says right in the guidelines not to paste responses into similar discussions. I'd tell you to ask Maximo if you don't believe me but he got banned for doing it.

Usually the ones that cheat do get caught eventually. Whether myLot catches them themselves, or if somebody points it out, then they deserve what they get (booted out.) I would never cheat, here or anywhere else. Yes, it does say a lot about the person that's doing it. Guess there's always a few who think they have to try anyways, but that doesn't make it right at all. I don't think I've ever caught anybody cheating, but if I was 100% positive, I'd probably report them to mylot's admin to check it out.

Never thought about different names on accounts, I'm sure that there are people who would try that (dumb move!!!) You would think though that when they have the same internet address (ip number) and the same PayPal address and bank account, that it'd never work in the first place. Haven't been around a lot lately, my fingers are swollen huge & painful again (making it hard to type), plus we rented a dumpster to clear out the basement after that flood we had that ruined so much stuff. (The sump pump failed in a huge storm leaving it about a foot deep in water!!) So, I've been working on that, and when I'm not working on that I'm exhausted from it!

Hi Joy where have you been? I missed seeing you here. I am glad you stopped in to chat. I hope all is well with you. Yes that tells a lot about a person that does that, that means they are not trustworthy bottom line. People acually do that they use different names. How they do it I don't know. but it is done.

When I first started reading your topic, I was trying to think of how someone could cheat on Mylot. Then I thought, the only way that I could think that this would be possible is to have someone else posting under your name when you are not able to be on.
Even if one did have two accounts or something like that, they would still have to put in the same amount of work. I must not be thinking hard enough. I can not think of any way a person can cheat on Mylot and get away with it.

Rosie i really think it is petty to do that, but some people are doing it. Yes they do it by using other names, I have heard about this before. What does that till you about a person? it means that they are not trustworthy.

I am not even sure I would know how to cheat on Mylot. Why would you. That would be like going into a bank and saying "THIS IS A HOLD UP...ONLY GIVE ME THE CHANGE IN YOUR POCKETS." :) I mean really. If you have the time to sit here and cheat on mylot for crying out loud, get a job.

Hi there marciascott
Ok I may be being a bit naive here but how exactly do people cheat in mylot? The only thing I can think of is that people might create say two or more accounts and then make loads of discussions and answer them using the different accounts or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I don't have the idea of how we can find that some body is cheating or not. In the first kind.. i can't understand as how can one cheat here.. is it copying and pasting somebody's post.. or imitating some one's post. But even that takes a lot of time than in making a original post.. as it is spontaneous.
Take care friend.

How do you cheat the system? The only way I can think of is having multiple accounts, which wouldn't be hard to do if you had several different email addresses.
If I knew for sure that someone was cheating mylot, then I would report it. Have to keep things fair for those of us who are doing the right thing.
Cheating the system does say alot about the character of a person. It shows that they are weak, greedy and completely self absorbed. I would say they have no confidence in who they are and are generally an unhappy sort of person who would take any opportunity to put other people down in order to make themselves feel better. Not the kind of person I would like to know at all.

I have never come across anyone that I thought might be cheating, but if I did then I would not do anything about it. If that is what they want to do then it is up to them, I do not personally see the point of cheating for such a little amount of money, like you say pennies!
For me to even consider cheating it would have to be for a heck of a lot more than that!
