    I advertised to sell a service on here a few weeks ago and I was looking through the post a couple a days ago and I seen the same thing posted by someone else with the same wording just the price and number changed.

    I am talking an exact copy to my words. I asked the person and they said yea they copied my post but they don't have such good english.

    Is that right or honest?

    I would actually PM a mod because there's quite a lot to explain and you'll have to refer back to your thread as well. This is very bad manners on the part of the other user - almost hijacking too.

    Let's form a posse and meet by the old red barn. We'll string this varmint up in no time. And if not, I'll eat my Stetsons.

    Report it. Plagiarism isn't allowed and by reporting it it will be dealt with promptly and efficiently.

    He's probably on it.

    But here's why you should have reported it:

    He might be busy doing stuff whilst another Mod might have been able to pick up on it immediately. You now more or less force him to deal with it whereas the reporting feature would have meant the first available mod would have done it. All in all it means a better experience for mods and faster moderation.

    Anyway, no big deal so don't worry about it. Rob's a legend and he'll handle it properly.

    Thanks Tops, that is why I started this thread because I had no idea, never had it happen and was shocked when I seen it then he admitted it. You can close this thread now if you want, I got my answer and no use of running up the thread.

    Thanks again
    Tom
