I am excited to post this discussion, because it is my 400th post! I now have only 100 (or so) posts to go before I can cut and paste! I would like some advice on this acctually, if anyone can help.
Can anyone tell me some of the ways that you use cutting and pasting to help you make more money here at MyLot? What do you paste into dicussions? Links? How does this help to make more money?
Thank you all for any help and advice you can share with me...
I need to get posting, only 99 to go!!

It has been a long time since I passsed the 500 mark but I can honestly say I hardly ever use that privilege. The only times I use it is to post the link to the Guidelines and the FAQs when I'm answering questions on here and when I'm commenting I will somtimes c/p part of a user's rsponse to comment back on it.
That is all. It is against the rules and illegal to copy parts of the web and use it as a discussion without quoting the source. Iprefer to use my own thoughts and not those of others for my discussions so only very, bery rarely have I ever c/p a link too.
I guess you could use it to type your discussions into word and then paste them into a discussion but I have not used it for that purpose either.
A lot of fuss about nothing if you ask me!
Happy Lotting!

It could be useful if you lose your connection due to a storm or whatever I suppose but other than that I have no use for it myself. If you know you will be without internet you could use the time and prepare discussions in word - I use that time to catch up on the ironing when it happens

Thank you for the good information. I like hearing from people who have been around here for a while, because you guys know the way to do things! I cannot really see a use for the feature either, but was curious about it, because people were always talking about cutting and pasting. I will probably stick to the old fashioned typing method. It seems like it would be a waste of time and effort to type a discussion on word and then cut and paste. What an extra step, and why?

hello ljbinkop
good luck to you in reaching the five hundred mark around here at Mylot. you do not have far at all to go until you reach that goal. and you should read the Mylot guidelines before that you copy and paste anything. and as far as making extra money by copy and pasting something, make sure that you do not violate any copyright laws. i really do not see a need for copy and pasting unless a member around here at Mylot wants to add some kind of a link or something like that. and your not allowed to copy and paste the same article multiple times either. so be careful when that you do reach the five hundred mark here at Mylot, when or if that you do decide to copy and paste something. happy Mylotting!
take care and have a beautiful day today!

Hi Tn! Thank you so much for your response, and your advice! I will defineatly double check any guidlines before I cut and paste anything! I also do not really see the use for it here, and I was just wondering what other people used it for. I guess it just makes your responses and discussions longer, and maybe you get paid more for it. I ususally just come here to type responses, so I was not sure I would even use this feature when it becomes available to me. Thank you again, and have a great day yourself!

Hello ljbinkop! I know how you really feel right now. I felt it too. I am too excited to reach my 3000 posts that's why I posts and posts here.
When I reached my 500 posts, I am too excited about it. But now, I rarely use it. I don't think copy and pasting will help in our earnings. What important is your response and copy and pasting will only help us to emphasize more on what we said but I guess we are still evaluated using our own words.
Anyway, goodluck on your 500 posts. I know you can make it. A of now, you have your 412 posts so go! go! go!...hehehe

Pasting links is so much easier than copying them! However, be sure that you're not pasting links that aren't related to the discussion at hand - I got reprimanded for using my link as a signature when I post response :P I'm never doing that again.
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Congratulations and good luck! I think 500 is a huge milestone on myLot, not only because of copy + paste privileges, but it seems like 500 (or around there) is where a lot of members reach their first payout. Pretty cool, if you ask me! My goal is to reach 500 this month too! Happy mylotting!

I am just like you, i was on my way to earn my 500th post so that i can use the copy paste thing, but one mylotter told me that even if i have the privilege to use the copy paste, i am still limited to use it.
It is ok, as long as it does not make me plagiarize. I am still opt for contributing my idea based on my own opinion.
Anyway happy Mylotting. I am sure you can reach your 500th post in no time.

Well, I've never heard anything about the 500 posts or the copy and paste thing? I know how to copy and past and I use it to copy my responses and paste to my notepad in case I loose my signal so I don't have to re-write everything again. I guess there is still alot I have to learn here about Mylot. I know I'm having a blast and am enjoying every day seeing my account balance go up:) Good luck and congrats on hitting 500!!

Good luck in getting so far, it won't be long before you get to the magic 500 posts which everybody aims for so that they 'copy and paste', but to be honest with you, I still haven't made use of this facility, I don't see any need for it after all the waiting.
Good Luck and Happy MyLotting
