plagiarizer - easyliving

I have found and reported a few discussions by easyliving today. I remembered reading one of his discussions somewhere else, so I checked a couple of others out and they were also pliagiarized.

I am sure that this user has more plagiarized discussions since I only checked three and all three were stolen from other sources. You might want to check more of them...

plagiarizer and Spammer akunz81

After coming across two very similar posts by Mylot user akunz81 this evening, I had a closer look. It seems that there are quite a few instances where this member writes several short discussions on the same general topic, all taken from the same source.

Member akunz81 is plagiarizing these discussions and spamming the site with one after the other. I am sure that there are a lot more since this member is turning out one post after the other, but these are just a few that I have checked. It's late and I have to get some sleep, so I hope that someone else will have some time to help out with this member. His profile is here:

http://www.mylot.com/akunz81/

These are the plagiarized posts I checked so far...

Spamming - 34momma

If you look at the responses that 34momma has been making lately, you will find that most of them are identical, and almost all of them are spamming a referral link for one of her income opportunities. I have reported about a dozen of her duplicate responses, but there are more of them left to report.

I found these after she hit one of my discussions with her spam. Her response is pasted here so you know what to look for. (I changed the referral link to my own in case anyone wants to sign up.)
=====

http://www.yuwie.com/yuwie.asp?r=9381

if you don't believe me, sign up and ask around, everyone there loves it
====

Like I said, I have only gone through a dozen or so of her responses and found that all of them were identical to the one above. I have reported the ones that I read, but I'm sure that if there were this many that there are likely many more.

The direct link to the discussions she has replied to is here. Let's get these reported!

plagiarizer - relations

MyLot member relations frequently uses the "this happened to one of my friends" approach. She steals the subject line, and then includes various responses as part of her opening discussion.

Spamming - leon1987

MyLot member leon1987 has pasted hundreds of duplicate responses into many discussions. If you look his last ten responses the are all identical. These are the links to the discussions.

http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1104889.aspx

Since there are additional pages of responses to discussions about coffee, I would assume that these are probably more of the same. If you care to go further into his responses, you will find many pages of responses about mac and PC computers. You will want to look into them as well, because I'm sure that you will find a similar pattern there. This is followed by a section on ipods, followed by winamp, followed by instant messenger, windows vista, and maybe more before that...

I went back through 36 pages of his responses and saw only one response that didn't fit this profile...

plagiarizer - alonaz continues

MyLot member alonaz continues to spam the site with multiple pages of plagiarized posts despite the fact that many were reported and removed by myLot a couple of months ago. You can find a list of the ones reported and removed here.

His posts are stolen directly from answers.yahoo.com and can easily be found by typing his subject line into the search box on the yahoo site. The first search result will be identical, including the typos. This is a simple case of copy & paste plagiarism.

Check these out for yourself, and report a few while you are there. I don't know why myLot would allow such actions to continue, but maybe if enough members speak out, he will be stopped.

Spamming - punkish

MyLot member punkish has been spamming the site with multiple posts on the same topics. As you can see this isn't a one time, or accidental thing. He has done this repeatedly.

plagiarizer - MarcRobin

MyLot member MarcRobin seems to have plagiarized these same two sources for many discussions regarding headaches, up until about 5 days ago when he switched to insomnia and has been running rampant on a new subject.

He has since replied to 43 pages of discussions regarding insomnia in one day. I have not checked them, but I assume that he may have done the same thing on the subject of insomnia, especially when you consider that he made these approximately 430 responses on insomnia in one day. I do not know what other topics he may have done the same thing with before he went on his headache kick.

The sources for the headache responses came from a combination of these two pages

http://www.fushi.co.uk/Headache_559.aspx and from http://www.headacheexpert.co.uk/HerbalRemediesForHeadacheAndMigraineRelief.html

If they haven't been removed yet, you can find his responses on these discussions, and many more:

http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1036808.aspx
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1037900.aspx
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1001095.aspx

I can't say for sure if the insomnia posts are plagiarized or not, but I did respond to a couple of these discussions too, and looking at his responses, at the very least they are identical.

multiple accounts - gkvetkar1 & Bombstick

A friend showed me a discussion by gkvetkar1 where he admits to having multiple accounts. The discussion is here. In the discussion, he is complaining that he cannot log into his other account as Bombstick.

In this discussion he also admits to violating the rules by opening a new account long before losing the first one, and not one of his responders seems to think that there is anything wrong with that...

"Thank god I have opened new account much before lossing my original account."

If you look at the banned account, you can see that it was most likely banned because of plagiarism, jokes, and email forwards.

irrelevant posts, posting same response, duplicate posts - bestgirl2008

We have a new member who is pasting "hello and welcome to mylot.com" as a response to every discussion rather than making any attempt to respond to anything. bestgirl2008 has posted the same response repeatedly to dozens of posts. I haven't found any of her responses that are more than a few words long, but these are also totally irrelevant as well. She is even posting welcome messages to those who have been here for many months.

multiple accounts and more violations - saifshah03 & saifshah003

saifshah03 and saifshah003 are the same person. He continually posts referral link non-discussions. Now he is upset because people must have been reporting him. See http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1126167.aspx

These two discussions prove that the two user IDs belong to the same person:
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1054601.aspx (offering free $100 investment accounts to all those who sign up???)
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1083836.aspx

Here, he breaks another rule by attempting to draw attention to another of his discussions:

Spamming - tellus

After looking through the first seven pages of discussions, I found very little other than the spamming of affilliate links posted by mylot user tellus. Some of the posts I checked contained as many as five referral links in one post.

I have only reported a couple of them, and let myLot administrators know about the problem so that they can check the rest for themselves. They might take action faster though if this user were reported by a few more members.
