Thread: Have you seen your post being copied?

I see several of my replies (well, only 1 or 2) being copied. I just don't understand why they have to copy it all totally. Any idea?

Its normal. There is no special reason to copying someone's reply.

you cant have any hold over your data being copied.

Some who has less knowledge but want to be among us always try to copy other replies even questions. We can't resist it.

Just because may be you have wrote some nice information in that reply that is why other people are using it.

If your published content is seen somewhere else by other person, that means your content has been copied.

Just take it on a positive side, your response is very informative that he can't even change a word or two because it may change the whole idea of it. Also, he/she may be a fan of yours .

I haven't seen any of my replies and questions being copied so I'm not sure yet how would I feel.

Hi, Inspiro. I have been copied many times also. But I don't care much. If I find out I just ask them in public (no PM) why they copied my reply.

It is useless to post twice the same answer. I also sometimes degrades the forum quality. Imagine if everyone in here start copying...

Why they do it?
Time! They try to spend as less time they can on the forum. They copy, scramble or just reply with "yes", "me too", "I like it", "very useful", etc. In that way they can spread their signature into many forums. That's what they do. They want fast and with no specific quality, backlinking...

There are also some utils that are robot-forum-posters.... but this is another subject.

I see many times,but it is not a big issue.

No i never see a single post of mine being copied.

I think people just did if they dont have any word to say and the do so for making a post only.

I agree with Paul and Alan. I think that is the reason. Well, anyway, lets just ignore them.
