I went back to a discussion of interest to me to read the responses again and to see if anyone posted under my response and I saw that one of mine was duplicated exactly and posted by someone else. Is this a possible glitch? I don't want to think someone did it on purpose, but.... What should I do? Has anyone else had this happen?

I know, right? This guy copied mine about 4 responses under mine! It was so obvious, but I had hoped that it was some kind of glitch. I see now with all these responses that I am not alone and it was on purpose.

Thanks for your help. I don't begrudge anyone trying to make money, but I spent a lot of time really thinking about and typing in my responses.

This is definitely too much of nuisance and day time robbery. There are some wonderful international characters here who copied my disucssion topics. The fun is I made a spelling mistake in one of the topics, stupid guys copied without correcting the spelling mistake. That particular topic of mine had 1000+ responses and they thought they too can get that much response!! How to prevent such shameless people doing this kind of work? I am at a loss to know.

Thank you. The one of mine they copied was only a response that I made to someone else's discussion. I guess they thought No one would notice?

Responses get copied, things like that happen. It may just be unintentionally, like for example me i read the first few posts of the discussion but dont have the time to read through everything. Then i post my opinion and it may be similar to other peoples, i dont know i just post anyway :)

Well, some people are just Money hungry and will try anything they can to earn money on here. Even if it is Illegal. So our Best best is to start reporting all of these people who do this type of stuff, and hope for the best. I know I have reported a few over time.

This has happened to me a coupple times and I have seen it happening to others more times than I cgan count. It is frustrating to spend the time to come up with a quality response and have some lazy cheater come along and steal you reply. Every time I see it I report it to My Lot, no warnings and that is what I would suggest everyone do. These people know what they are doing is wrong, it's not a mistake.

One of my friend had the same thing happened to her, she said she wrote to mylot and gave the username. I haven't heard back from her about what mylot did. So,you might want to do the same and don't forget to give them the username so that they'll take care of that person and not do it for the rest of us. Good luck, hopefully that'll be taken care of for you.

Yes I have and in just one of my discussions there are 4 copied and pasted responses I am not happy as they are earning money for stealing
In one someone responded with something that had nothing to do with my Discussion at all

yup, heard of this multiple times already. persons copying other person's work which is really unfair. they are getting credits for work that other people did. perhaps myLot can make or improve their algorithm to detect that. what you can do is report it to admin though.

Yes I too have been the victim of a cheating, lowlife that can't express his or her own thoughts in words. It is imperative that we report these people everytime we see they have stolen our posts. The more we report, the sooner myLot will be able to rid themselves of these cheaters. I hit the exclamation on the side and copy the post and state why I am emailing it to them. Sorry this has happened to so many others too.
