Do you ever copy someone else' discussions?

Copying someone else' discussion........ Hello doggyhouz, no so far no one has copied my material, not to the best of my knowledge but I thought of this when I read that one of our fellow mylotters was very upset because someone has copied their material. I thought to myself, what a low down thing to do. Well I never said anything but I do hope that by posting this discussion that whoever it is that's doing the copying will get the message that it's not a good thing to copy the work of others without first asking their permission. Happy mylot and thanks for caring!

hello again! you can use that search bar to search topics that are already posted here, example you have a topic in your mind about something then try to type it there and point on the discussion and after that all discussion related to that word you type will appear and so you can check now if it is already existed or not...but actually sometimes i still get some topics with similar discussion. but again the contents are different...when i saw the same title as i'm thinking i just think of another title...i guess its always possible that we came out to topics that are the same as the other but just make sure that the content is your original... maybe this discussion can help you... http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2039317.aspx particularly the #2 response http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2059874.aspx have a nice day! hope this can help!

Copying someone else' discussion....... Hello ckyera, thank you for responding to my discussion. I would like for you to explain more about the search bar if you don't mind. So far I have never copied anyone's work and I sure do hope that times will never get that hard. I believe there is far too much out here for us to talk about so why waste time copying someone else? It would be almost as if we are all standing around in a conversation then somebody says something, then someone else come right along and repeat what had just been spoken, word for word. What would be the point in it? Anyhow Perhaps if you could give all of us some guidance on the search bar their won't be so much copying going around here. I'll admit that it might require a little more work to have to look up something but it would be worth it to know that your work is original, I would think. Hoping to hear from you soon. Happy mylot and thanks again for sharing!

copying someone else' discussion......... I agree with you sjvenden, it would feel like someone would be ripping us apart to take our discussion and copy it word for word. Well I didn't know there would be such a large turnout for this discussion but it must be more plagiarism going on than what we really think. Hope you never have this done to you sjvenden and thanks for the compliment. Have a nice weekend!

No one has done this to me that I know of.. at least here on my lot.. The reason I get so heated about this kind of subject is the fact that some people enjoy taking the credit of others.. My mother did that all of the time.. she would say well if it was not for me you would have never been able to do that.. blah blah... It was my will power, my personal strength that got me through the years, yes I have lots and lots of help.. but I hate feeling like a nothing.. or a robot

Copying someone else' discussion....... Hello Mayka123, I agree with you. Why can't someone just open up the dictionary to a word if they are so desperate for topics to discuss, then just start writing about them. I don't understand how anyone can be so shallow as to steal another person's article. If I happen to like something that someone else writes, then I will always put the person's name in it so that person will get credit for it. There is a right and a wrong way to do everything. To copy another person's material so as to claim if for our own is just plain wrong! Happy mylot!
