Hey, guys, so whats the deal?

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have seen one poster in particular doing this over and over and i can tell they are just short stories they have copied form somewhere else and put here- sometimes word for word.. I mentioned to them (a couple of times) that this is a place for DISCUSSION. And not only were they not posting stuff to start a discussion (which isn't horrible as some of us just have stories we like to share) But they NEVER respond to any of the responders OR commented on anyone else discussions in general... just started these "discussions" or theirs and that was the extent of their COMMUNITY participation. Some people just don't get it!

Know what I just havent noticed that but will look for it. I know I dont always put a period att he end.

I get a lot of those, but I do not consider them to be discussions. I get them at another site as well. I am here to talk and visit, and I will continue to do so.

I am sorry. I am a big offender of this. I attach the article because that is what has sparked my interest. I hope that people read the article and have an opinion. It may be a lazy way, but it is my way!

I'm will looking for it, I just don't notice there is a lot because I'm lack of connection.

Hi celticeagle! Please report these discussions using the report button to the right of the posts. From what you've said in your original post as well as in your comments it sounds like these are plagiarized. Please remember that just because a post is reported does NOT mean it'll be deleted so if it turns out they are acceptable there will be no harm done. You can even report them with the comment "Alice told me to report these" if you'd like. Thanks!

hi celticeagle I have noticed that too, capitols and punctuation are the least of my concerns as I am often guilty of that myself, but to make a discussion that's more of a story, what is to discuss with this? are we to give our opinion as to how good it is or bad, or what? these leave me puzzled. I thought we were suppose to make a discussion that would actually ask an opinion from others and maybe some helpful suggestions.

I have run across some discussions before that just kind of stopped. There are times when I have an idea about what type of response they are looking for but for the most part I have no clue. It would be nice if there was a little leading towards what they want to know.

Hmm..This seems to be the one thing I HAVEN'T managed to notice on myLot. And I'm usually pretty good at spotting trends. . Maybe I'm losing my touch... Hmm. Anyway, I'll keep my eye out for this. I can understand why it would weird you out, though!

I don't know what is going on. I find those types of discussions difficult to reply to. I have been seeing them a lot lately. The only ones I can reply to are ones where links to articals are provided and I can give my opinion on the artical. But other then that I have nothing to say, or feel I could say enough to warant a good response.
