Are you obsessed with popping the bad posts here at MyLot?

Amen to that! Got another one doing it now. 3 days in a row griping about cheaters. Talk about milking it.

I can see your point. Knowing what members are doing copying can be helpful. I just saw some hypocrasy in the same person making the same post everday about cheaters. I was a bit irritated when I first posted this thread. After further analysis of the situation, I do agree that copiers should be busted, but other types of cheating should be busted too. Cheating is cheating regardless whether it's copy/pasting (which is plagairism and highly illegal, if one wanted to be technical about it) or simply rewording the same post daily in order to be paid for adding more posts. You're right tho, there's good and bad in this situation.

I'm starting to think no one bothered to read my original post all the way through. Repeat: "My feelings on this: Ignore stupid posts, report the cheaters, let the mods do their jobs."It's not only the copiers that are cheating, it's the same people trying to repost the same crap every single day in order to make lame posts to rack up money that are irking me. No where did I say to not report plagiarism. If others have time to go read every single post and search for this stuff, that's great. I don't have time for it. If a post title holds no interest, is repetitive or sounds lame (like "do you eat?"), all I'm saying is if no one replies to that crap, they may stop posting that crap. We are debating a whole different level of cheating than what this thread was supposed to be about. I can see why copiers irk you, they irk me too, but that is not the type of cheating I was talking about. Lame topics and repetitive topics are cheating as well...plus I was irritated when I first posted. You'll see the date is not today. I had been getting message after message from the same person on the same topic (but as the start of a NEW thread) for several days in a row. The topic was cheaters. In my opinion, their act of reposting the same thing every single day instead of adding to the original thread is cheating, thus my attitude problem. Redheads get cranky, sorry.

hahaha Good one. I vote you the voice of reason...lol

Yeah, that has happened to me. That's why I wish they would give us an option to delete our own posts like every other forum online. I have also messed up and hit the minus instead of report where some woman was all up in this one thread calling the woman who started the thread a "b"...I really meant to report that one! Ooops! Thanks for stopping by & thanks for the add :)

Thanks for stopping by & thanks for the add:) I wish we could delete some of our older posts too! I have some that never got a comment and figure why even have them on still!?! Hopefully the next time they alert us they will include that as an option!

I tested that theory, few of my serious topics get any action, but by golly, I start a thread with "name your 3 favorite things containing chocolate" and that gets a lot of action. Go figure :) I wouldn't really call it cheating, just a lame topic, lol. Thanks so much for popping in. Your response is appreciated.

They are the people that are here to make money I assume, and living in the US it's really mere pennies to us anyways... I enjoy this site mostly because there is a diverse set of opinions and if you get a good topic going the comments can be entertaining or informative!

that's what has been fascinating to me as well -- it just seems difficult to find intriguing posts that don't sound like tabloid headlines. They're here but you have to wade through a lot of pointlessness to find them.

Sure, say what's on your mind. No problem. BUT, does one necessarily need a brand new post to do it in? If one already started a post on a topic, one should return to that post and make another comment instead of posting the very same thing every single day in a brand new post. I do believe that's against the guidelines, but I'm not postive so don't quote me on that, please. The mods are doing a fine job as far as I'm concerned. Either way, I'm still not going to go "cheater hunting" nor am I going to open a new thread on this topic every single day. Does any of what I'm saying make sense?

Thank you very much for your response. I feel like if we ignore them, they will go away or at least put a little thought into their topics.
