I just posted a discussion two minutes ago. Seconds thereafter, you see a discussion similar to yours. It is just so sad. I hoped they would have the decency to post it tomorrow or at least after an hour so the other person won't see it. I have seen people complain about this. But now I am bringing this up because they should have the decency not to at least post it just minutes after the original discussion. I'm sorry to bring this up but it is just so disappointing. Don't you think so?

Adding insult to injury, the guy who made the post, posted it just a minutes away from my posts. Anyway I hope that people would not follow his bad example.

That is just so sad. I just hope they would have the decency to post it a little bit later so the person won't notice if they check the recent discussions and see that someone has copied their discussion. Its a good thing that some of my dicussions are very unique that adds signature to my discussions. Thanks for your reply and have a nice day!

Yes this is not good ... some decency should be maintained regarding this .... anyhow some authority should be there to eliminate or suspend those persons ..

Yes it is wrong, but I guess they had to come up with some kind of discussion, they call that cheating. To lazy to think of their own discussions. It is dissapointing. I had to tell a few people Hey, that was my Post.

Well I hope that people who do that would not be so obvious as to post it just minutes away from the original post. Don't you think so?

I have not notice that happen to me yet but I have reported some users for doing it with others discussions. How hard is it to just come up with your own discussions and responses?

I did not have the chance too because I made this post and when I got back the discussion was gone in the recent posts. I just hope that some users would read this and would not follow him.

Copying and pasting is different thing and starting a new disucussion which looks like your discussion does not breach the rules of mylot.
Even then I support your views that people should come up with their own discussion.

I've noticed the same thing, once someone copied half of my answer and post it as his own few pages later :(
Anyway, you should report that user, not giving him/her a second chance to cheat!
Keep up the good work!

They don't have to. This guy was just so obvious that he even posted it just minutes away from my discussion. Some people might have been innocent in having the same thoughts as other but this guy was really dumb or just used to doing this things. I hope that he realizes that it does not speak well of him as well as the race that he belongs to. I would not bother revealing his country of origin. I would not want to judge right away just for his action. Let's just try to observe if there would be more of this then maybe we can begin to generalize.

You should report it to MyLot immediately. The same thing happened to me a couple of days ago, and MyLot took action against the person who copied and pasted. One would think by now that these people who copy and paste should know that they are going to be found out for there dishonesty somebody is going to report them. I am sorry this happened to you as I know how it feels.

I did not have the chance to report it because I just made this post right after I saw it. I just hope that this would be a reminder to our other fellow members not to follow his bad example. Thanks and have a nice day!

Yes, I think that it is extremely sad. Not only that, but it shows the lack of creativity that these people have.

I hope that people would learn that even here in the internet, ethics is important. We see our countries posted just near our names and it speaks bad regarding your people as well as your country. I won't tell you guys nor post his country, I just hope that he should know that it does not speak well of him as well as his race. We are not here just to earn but also to earn as well as practice ethics while earning money! Thanks and have a nice day!

I did not have time to do that because I was bust posting this discussion. The next time it happens, I think I know what to do. Thanks for your advise. Have a nice day!

I do think that he knew what he was doing because he posted the same discussion minutes away from mine. Anyway, I just hope that other users won't follow the bad example. There might be similar discussions but a few minutes gap is very suspicious.

Before posting I always try to endeavour to put my discussion or key words into the box to make sure no one else has posted a similiar topic to mine. It takes a minute and that's it. But people are too quick to cash in on others sadly. You can report it and also negatively rate it. Mylot are working hard to sort these problems out and I have noticed some great changes. So hopefully this will be a thing of the past.

What do you mean when you say you put your discussion or key word into the box to check it out?
As a newbie I want to learn to play by the rules before I put my foot in it.

I know that coincidence is inevitable but his person actually posted his discussion just minutes away from mine. It was so obvious and I really don't think it was a coincidence. And I think he was fairly new to mylot because I remember that he had a 5 on his rating. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and have a nice day!

You raise a very good subject to disguess, Although every one bearing this problem but those who not have Ideas in their mind who stealing & projecting as orignal. But when one go through all disguessions he can identify what is orignal.

The sad thing is if they post it minutes away from your original discussion. It seems to look bad. I just hope people would not follow his bad example.
