COPIED WORD FOR WORD.

@Kandae11 good! I am glad you have a plan of action for this--

@Kandae11 cool, hopefully we won't see more such behaviour

I mentioned it to @Joliet Jake and he advised me on the way forward.

I understand she did it a second time today as well.

I know the feeling. -- but at least this one didn't use the photo.

@Kandae11 Has it been removed now?

@AbbyGreenhill Yes it has -- a few hours after it was discovered.

@Kandae11 Some people are kind of dense or think they will never get caught.

I hope so, she was reported several times. Surely simple common sense should tell her it was not right?

@Kandae11 I wonder if they were all plagiarized. If yours was, I suspect the others were also.

@just4him Yesterday, before I noticed my post , She was on another member's discussion pleading that they visit her post, I think it was a poem.

It was reported - the post was removed and I suspect she was issued a strong warning, This morning I saw at least four discussions posted by her.

@Kandae11 Hopefully they will learn.

Very dumb I would say.

@Kandae11 Thank you! I don't disagree with you and you are right. Is that post still up?

Facebook or whatever. If someone takes an article or story that you write - without your permission, I call that stealing.

@1hopefulman If that is the case on facebook - then the first thing I would look for would be the share button on Mylot. I realize you are being diplomatic.

@Kandae11 I certainly agree with you there. I just hope that it doesn't continue and she plagiarizes others discussions. It is so stupid to do that. She could come up with a discussion if she would just think about it for while. I will wait until I think of one before I post one The discussions that people post are there own thoughts, and no one has a right to take those thoughts and make them their own.

That kind of behavior is attempting to defeat the purpose of the site . Mylot is an avenue where we can hone our writing skills and express our thoughts while earning a little. Plagiarising on your first day here is a very bad start.

@rosekiss Well I suppose she escaped with a warning this time, because I saw at least four posts by her since this morning.

@Kandae11 I think @JolietJake normally does that.

@allknowing He reported it for me and sent the links to the discussions to the relevant authority.

It is hard to believe that someone would need guidance for something like that.I think everyone is taught from childhood that it is wrong to steal.

@Kandae11 We know it's wrong, but there are some countries that don't teach the specifics of that. In fact, in America even in the last ten or more years many students will contact different organizations that will write papers for them for a price. What students don't seem to realize that even if they pay for that service, it's not 'their' original content and many colleges still consider it to be a form of plagiarism even though it may only be written for them. I was on a different type of writing site years back that helped people better their craft. One gal didn't seem to understand what plagiarism even was. It took me a long time to instruct her and she was interested in learning just didn't seem to understand the concept. That's why a lot of times I think many aren't taught. It also may have to do with English not being a natural language for them, and maybe there's not a related word for plagiarism in their own language. I don't know.

Something is terribly wrong if they actually think it is okay to copy another person's work.

@MarshaMusselman I may be wrong. but I think in any language taking what is not yours without consent is stealing - and we are taught that it is wrong to steal.

It is a strange feeling - reading your own post - but it has another person's name.

@Kandae11 I probably would have read it over and over in shock.

@Kandae11 I've experienced myself. I know what you mean. It's quite unpleasant.

@Kandae11 Maybe that is it, they cannot be to intelligent if they are trying that.

I can't imagine an intelligent person doing something so dumb.

That is nervy. I can only imagine your shock when you saw your grandchild on someone else's post.

@Kandae11 I would be scared if I saw a picture of any of my family online

It does get crazier - the picture of your grand baby?

Earning for whom?

@dhoyalahoy Well she received at least three or four comments on my post before it was removed.

@Kandae11 If that will create an impact, whoever is that will earn cents... unless it's not reported. Of course that activity must be stop and reported.

@Kandae11 sorry to say ths but she is no less than a thief. Fortunately you were here. Else she might have copied other topics and go unnoticed

@Kandae11 What i truly believe is, besides being stupid, they might think since there are so many posts here, no one will ever find it.

@jujunme That is for sure. Some people will go to any lengths and do stupid things.

Maybe they think we are the stupid ones.

@Kandae11 Wow it would be a shock for real..it has happened to me but long ago.

It was a real shockThere I was, reading my own post - with a different title.

@Kandae11 This is the reason why they copy the top posts, they hope to receive many responses.

Yes, and it was removed a few hours later. It had already received abut five responses.

@Kandae11 so do I. I am surprised that she is still here.

@HazySue She is - I have seen two posts so far - this morning.

Yes it was done , the post was taken off, but up to this morning she was here posting discussions - I hope they are her own.

@Kandae11 young after all

I couldn't believe my eyes. At first I thought it was a glitch or something.
