My discussion has been copied and plagarised!!!!

This is shocking Mimpi and i can totally understand the anger. Why is it that people just cannot be original and write things on thier own? People like this need to be banned not only from the site where he has copied it to, but also from mylot for violating the sanctity of this place. I have not had an experience like this before and i would hope that you have reported him .You have the support of your friends here to take whatever strong action against this cheater.

That is very mean of that person.I hate people stealing.It is a loathsome practice. Please complain to the people who has published that plagiarised matter with proof. You should not let these thieves get emboldened by getting away free with this disgusting practice. I have the experience of seeing a couple of my discussions copied and presented as their own just by presenting it in a new format here in Mylot.I jut fume and amble away.I always feel that it is not worth getting my blood heated up on these worthless lot.

mimpi1911 thats just plain awful for you and stupid of the myloter who did that. Can you report the person to mylot admins as they would like to know of mylotters who copy and plagarize someone else's work. I know I would feel furious if someone copied a discussion of mine and passed it off as one of his or her own.[i][/i]

I can't believe that people can really do that.I can understand your reaction, i too will be so angry if the same happened to me. Nothing like this has happened to me yet but if it did, i don't know, i might freak out.

No i have never had such thing done to me ast least not to my knowledge .And like you I would be angered by such an action .I mean I really put a lot of energy into my discussions and to know that persons are using my material without so much as a a thank you .Although I must admit it is flattering in a weird way

There really are people who do that!?!? Well, there are all kinds of people in our large world. You shouldnt be so surprised about it. I am more surprised that you find out that someone took you article. However, when your anger disperse you will most probably feel sorry for the guy/girl that has such a small imagination that he/she has to steal ideas rather than making their own ones. Cheer up: People coppy the great minds - you have just been promotet to a great mind :)

Goodness I hope someone reports him on the oter Site for doing that as it against the rules on any Site Sorry this has happened to you and I hope the Person will get what for

Hi dear! It is really shocking and disgusting that someone unabashedly copied your discussion. It is highly unethical and squarely unfair to copy in such a manner. Actually you write thought provoking posts which might have prompted the person to copy your post. If you feel like the matter could be reported to the concerned authorities.

I'm not surprised that this has happened, since it happens quite frequently on this site (that discussions are copied by another user, maybe changed a little and then posted as a different discussion). It must happen a lot, sadly. Like another myLotter said, it is sad that this person has so little imagination that they would stoop to doing this. I like what you have written in the comments section on mypage5.com, that's a start in reporting this person. Can you contact admin on mypage5.com, and complain to them directly? Maybe the user will be banned there. It might also be worth contacting admin here on myLot to see if they can help, or if they have any suggestions. It's not in their interest either if people illegally copy the content here.

What the..? That was a recent one. Whoever did it was quite fast. That discussion was just a few days old and I havent even been able to respond to it. Banning them from myLot and myPage could be a measure taken but I dont think it will stop the person from doing that again. He/she will just use other sites and just "stalk" your discussions for new material. But still, doing nothing about this would just be synonymous to saying that what they did was okay. As far as I know, this kind of thing has not happened to me yet. If ever that it did, Im not aware of it. Im sorry to hear about this mimpi. I hope some action will be done to correct this.

I can't say that I have had a mylot discussion plagerised, but I write articles on several sites and they have been copied to some extent. Most of them were scrambled and were quite funny. No one ever stole the exact material. I guess if they did I would either ask them to take it down or leave comments everywhere I could about the ordeal.

I might have wrote about the same topics, but nothing is verbatim. If I did do it I would have no idea. I have got ideals from comments that I have thought of while commenting to someone else's discussions. Nothing has ever been verbatim or exactly like the discussion I have commented on. I think I would be upset also. It is lucky for you that someone found it because I do not whiz through all the discussions. I mostly only comment from discussions I have started or the ones that come to my e-mail through mylot digest.

Hi Mimpi, Wow this is disgusting...unacceptable and really bad. good that you had the chance to trace and check it. so what are your plans now? do you know the person who did it?

Oh it happened to me also. I had around 15 blogs in my account and one day was shocked to see all my article's copied word to word and put on another web site. When I tried to get in touch with the person and explained the situation she acted cool and said that was nothing new and it is always done, so don't make a big issue of it . Then I had to report her and when things started to move against her she removed my material.

wow, that is not cool at all. I think that is really rude of the person to do such a thing. I also would be very angry, and I would have to report that one.

Yes, it has happened to me. About one month ago, a cousin of mine alerted me to the fact that my history research had been published on Ancestor.com. I looked it up and there it was, word for word. A 500 word article that I had researched. I was furious. I wrote to ancestor.com and received a vague reply. Dont know if they did anything about it.

Hi mimpi shocking to know this.. Report that imposter to that site so that he/she who copied will be removed from that site if the admin of that site takes action.. I know how you feel when you see your contents are copied..

I think that it is completely wrong for someone to do something like this. After all, they do teach us in school that it is wrong to copy off of people and when we copy the intellectual work of another person for our papers, if we do not properly document our sources, then we are guilty of plagarizing someone elses work. For someone, most likely an adult to be doing this is absolutely wrong. Honestly, what are they getting out of copying your work in the long run.

I haven't had any such experience.Why don't you take it positively?If you are being copied means you are becoming more popular, your views are more respected, and they are different too.Therefore, keep on crowing as ever.

i tell them to 'freak out'
