Hello to all mylotters
I was bored and decided to look for my username(edxcast) on google. I was checking out the links and was surprise that one of my comments on mylot was copied on a soccer forum.
It is the last post of this link:
http://www.premierleaguescores.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15267&sid=6440f2c5de807225ecc8e364c2a90056
And that is not all they copy the responses as well. Just look at this example baric copied my comment word by word(with mistakes and everything):
"Hi skysuccess Its a shame, i think Beckham is such a great guy and such a great player. I still remember in last world cup when England beat Ecuador in second phase, at the end of the match, David Bekham approach the Ecuador´s changin room and congratulate every player for how the have played. He is going to be missed."
And this guy lindell respond(im not register on that forum nor anything but why he is responding to me? i dont know)
"edxcast, A great role model indeed and I must admit the only player so far that has not appeared on the tabloids for all the wrong reasons. From the latest news, it seems like his playing career is on the line as well and I just hope that this injury is not a devastating one. England will miss his service and invaluable experiences. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.u..."
I remember some user telling something similar sometime ago. Its not something that just has happens to me. So what do you think this happens? A machine? or a weird guy? have you ever found out someone is posting your mylot posts on other forums?

to be exact, that entire forum is made up of the posts in mylot's soccer category.
other example, http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2274016.aspx with http://www.premierleaguescores.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15277

It spans beyond the soccer category. I found this discussion there too:

edxcast, good find! It appears that much of what's on that forum has been taken from here including entire discussions as mysdianait noted above.

HI alice
I found another one which was in the soccer category here on mylot.
http://www.xabi-alonso.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5638
Its a different forum, the first response is mine and the next one someone is responding to me(again im not registered there).
Do you think its possible a machine can do that? copying mylot posts to another forum? is it a person doing it? and if its a person why? i dont understand why would anyone do that. Thanks for responding here and keep doing your good work.

So many of the posts on that forum are stolen from multiple websites. I also found content from other football forums and answers.yahoo.com. It's very disappointing, isn't it?

hi edxcast I hadthis happen to me with a response to a discussion, and the poster who posted the discussion pm'd me and told me to look at respnse 16, and sure enough my own response had been copied word for word and she even gave her user name, the only difference from mine was she had added the words have a good day, which I had not done. the owner told her she had committed plagiarism and my lot was not going to be too happy about that, I also reported it and showed them my response no.9 they removed her response, and i imagine they told her a few things too.
I think that mylot actually banned her. she was new too but still to
copy someone else's response word for word. such gall.

Hi hatley
Wow even in mylot itself happens. It havent happened to me within mylot at least. In your case we could "forgive" her for being new(still isnt right and she should know it cause its something obvious), in my case as others has pointed, its a forum that copies mylot discussions, i dont understand why would they do that. Thanks for your response

Hi edxcast, I dont really know what happened there LOL. maybe some dude really copy your comments, well is it big deal? for me its not. I think most people do that when they find a nice information from a site they just copy that information and they will post no credits to that information. sucks right? sigh* people nowadays. have a nice day.

HI paleflare
Yeah i agree with you its not like my world has changed forevermore or anything, lol. But i was surprised to find my comments on other site. Worse the info was so random, what i wrote was something that only makes sense for someone from my country. Even worse they responded to me on that forum, which is even weirder. Im thinking they are machines but im not sure if that is even possible. Thank you for your comment, have a nice day as well.

hi both of you copying someone elses work is plagiarism and is grounds for being banned on mylot read the rules and the guidelines. It is a big deal, nobody should copy anyone else's work here a t all. go read the rules if you do not believe me.
