I started a discussion a few months ago and I noticed the same discussion was started a month later by somebody else. Is that oke?

If you noticed that the discussion was plagiarized then it is a blatant infringement of myLot rules. You can use the "!" for the discussion and report the infraction to admin. To me, myLot is very clear on what their rules are and they are fair. There is no reason for this.

I noticed it when I was looking at some discussion in my interests. It wasn't one discussion but several. Not only mine but also others. Some of the discussions were except for one word different. Thanks for the tip!

if this is the case, you have to report all those copied discussions to mylot. it will be a great favor that you will be doing to all of the members of this community. i feel so bad if i find out that i am replying to a copy paste discussion. so far, i have been aware of only two that i have responded to. it feels so depressing to find out that i have responded to know that i have responded to one which was first discussed some months ago or just recently. the time that has elapsed does not really matter at all.

That is happening to me all the time. And if you can go back to all the discussions, you will see that your discussion was started many many months ago by someone else. It happens all the time. Up to now I have seen only 2 discussions that were really unique and most of Rolcam's discussions, about the word expansions

When you look at it that way that can be wright. I didn't look back at the discussions. The discussions I've started were comming out of my head at that moment. The copy's I saw were posted a day or 2 later than mine.

It really happens a lot. It has happens to me also. They cannot paste and copy your post, that you would have to turn in though. With over 50,000 members, it cannot be controled.

The person with his reaction before you says you can tell mylot about it. I don't think it's fair to others nor me.

it has happened to me many times. i know some really do that intentionally but some were just due to honest mistake. some people like what the other user said here, may have thought of the same topic and just posted it without searching if someone has actually made the same topic. i myself just started a discussion on username. i had no idea someone started it days ago. i dont usually search for topics before i make my post because it is time consuming considering that am using a dial up connection. dont be bother if someone posts an almost similar discussion to that you posted unless it has been copied word for word or you are convinced that your ideas were stolen.

I've only posted one start up and I looked before I did. There were no other discussions that I found on the topic. Maybe a month ago there could have been. As long as they didn't copy and say exactly work for word the same thing, it should be okay.

it is alright if the discussion is being given in a perspective which is different from mine. if it is a copy paste, i will immediately report it to mylot admin. it is only proper that i do so. as for discussions with similar topics, it is okay. we can all talk about breakfast but take it from different angles. others will deal with the kinds of foods, others will be on the time that we do it, others will ask if it is a priority and then one will only think of whether we take coffee all mornings of our lives.

Hello,rassa,I think it is fine if the discussion is similar,like same topic but different way of expressing it or different wording,members will have different answers in these two discussions,but if the discussion is exactly the same as yours,he/she has violated the discussion rules and it is not ok then.You may have the right to report abuse to mylot so as to remove the copied discussion.

I know sometimes it's good to have the same discussion again but not wright afther eachother. When the disscusions are started a month or two afther eachother it's differt but somepeople see a discussion an copie it word for word a few minutes apart. That's what bottered me.

If someone copied you discussions few minutes after you have started it,you should report them since they have violated the rules.There should not be any tolerance for copy and paste stuff.
