I'm seeing countless answers copy/pasted! Why?Why not put the answer into your own words?If you do not know the answer, why bother?

A mere copy-pasted answer is forbidden here in Mylot. But some people wish to type an answer in their notepad/wordpad first and then copy-paste it in the text box here in mylot. I always type my answers/post in the mylot text box and the copy it, so that I can paste it in case the site is temporarily down or I get any errors. If you find anyone just copying and pasting from the Internet, you can use the report button next to the post and then report it to the mylot.

I donot find it so i have been involved in so many discussions but never seen copy/paste sort of things.
There can be the reasons like the topic of discussion is such like there can be only one opinion.But there may be some other reasons also like person may not be knowing the language that much.
I have heard that you cannot copy/paste others opinions as per the rules correct if i am mistaken.

I think copy and paste will be disqualified.You might not be allowed as per the guidelines.Answers need not be exactly correct.But a person should be truthful and reply to the best of his or her ability.It ought to be ones opinion and need not be one which stands scientific scrutiny.

Answers are not always Correct Here and maybe just an Opinion. But the Answer should not be Cut & Pasted Here. If that is What Your Referring to. Copy and Paste is an Action not an Answer. I do Believe a Copy & Paste from the Internet isn't Allowed Here. But All Discussion Replies need to be By You and from No Other Source

hi friend
many reason why people answer discustion with copy/paste: the first, they have same opinion with other. second they don't want to think hard. the last they are so lazy to write/type one by one letter .
