How do you feel when someone copies your answer and gets BA?!


Question: How do you feel when someone copies your answer and gets BA!?
I've noticed something in this section of Y!A that is prevalent!. A person will give a very good answer, then someone will come afterward and say what that person said!. It could be that both persons thought the same thing, that is true!. I'm asking here because I see this on the astrology section more than any other part of Y!A!. Which do you dislike more:

A person who copies your post!?

A person who says what you've said because it IS their opinion, even though they know you've said it already!?

A person who hurries to be the first answer, and then goes back and edits and pastes what someone else said afterwards!?

The person who gets Best Answer when someone before him/her did not copy or cheat, but had said the same thing!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
alot of times, if my answer that I want to say is already down, I will still say it but go into more depth about why I feel the way I do about it!. I have noticed the copying thing, but that is mostly for laughs, and the people seem to know each other who do it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's a dog-eat-dog website!. Amid the TD trolls and the pathological skeptics we don't really have the time to reminisce on why we did not recieve a BA even though another person who said the same thing did!.

It happens!.

But to be honest, I would prefer that the person who had the same answer, didn't copy-paste or steal their answer from someone else because they want the BA!. But who am I to decide, right!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

I would not like it, but I would just consider that best answer is only in the eyes of the beholder!. Your answer could be a very good one, but if the question asker is not able to see that, you will not get best answer!.

What upsets me worse is someone who thinks she or he knows it all and starts branding everybody else paranoid when she or he looks like the paranoid one!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I agree with Kuhlena and think she has assessed the matter perfectly!.

I would not like someone copying my answer, but that has not happened to me!. I will be watching more carefully to see if that is going on!. But I think it's mostly what Kuhlena said!. I don't mind you asking about it, but so far I don't agree that it happens a lot here in the astrology area!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Like several others have said (yes I am copying their answer because it is the same opinion as mine) we often agree on a particular answer!. That may look like someone is copying!.

You seem to be still new to this, but you will get the hang of it before long!. Just ignore the person who got out of the wrong side of the bed today!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I feel like the question asker will know!. Because the one who copied will have disjointed words!.

Happened many a time ~ and when I was the question asker, I know whose words it was!Www@Enter-QA@Com

How many hours into Mercury retrograde are we!?!

Ax
!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

If someone copies !? Who cares!.!.!.!.!.!!! Their is no copyright issues on YA is there!?

Imagine if it did !?

Secondly!.!.!.post in the right thread please!.!. this should not be here!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You think this happens mostly in this astrology section!? I've seen these type of things you are describing happening more in the religion section, believe it or not!. I'm mostly in the mathematics section, and I've not seen much copying there!. It's different on there because if someone gives the correct answer or help with solving, no one else will answer!.

I hope you will continue to be here even with the negative input you are receiving!. I have answered quite a few astrology questions and rarely get best answer!. Most of my ba come from the mathematics or science areas!. Good luck! :)Www@Enter-QA@Com

I've seen what you are talking about, but it doesn't upset me!. I don't get into Y!A but maybe once a week!. Maybe I would care more if I was on here a lot!. I will give you some pointers since you seem to be new to this!. People get bent out of shape if a new person asks questions about the forum rather than the topic of astrology!. I've seen this same question (very similar) posted by a Top Contributor and no one minded at all!.

This section is actually horoscopes, so people wanting to talk about astrology or psychics could be thought of as off topic!. The only thing that surpises me is that people are bent out of shape at your question, but they don't mind questions like, "Psychic psychic please help only good ones" and "My favorite color is purple so what is my sun sign"!.

In general, I've found that some (not all) of the Top Contributor are kind of dictatorial!. The person named KULENA and the person who posts as a !. DOT are the kindest and nicest and they will always be helpful!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It mildly annoys me to take time to write a thoughtful answer, and then come back later and see that someone has taken what looks like my answer and received best answer!. When they think like I do, it does not bother me much!. It does when they've copied my exact wording, including adjectives!. I can tell you what upsets me worse is when someone gives an answer like "idk" or "sure i agree with you" and gets best answer over an intelligent reasonable answer!. I've seen that happen here and all over Yahoo Answers!.

Jamienot, I don't think it is right to attempt to hijack someone's question by changing the reason for giving stars!. You would not want someone doing that to one of your questions!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I've seen this happen a few times!. I know what you mean though!. Why does a person say the same thing when another person has said it!? Because in this section, we have a sort of consortium of agreement on Mars in Libra being so, and Mercury opposition Saturn being so!. Do you see what I mean!? I see you are fairly new on here, so I understand that you are just asking about it!.

Jamie - I think this person is just asking and you're really over-reacting on this!. If you read the entire question, the question is astrology related in that he/she says it's been prevalent here!. I can see how a newbie would think this!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Theo, it does not bother me because in this astrology section many answers will be similar!. Once you answer more questions here, you will see that is the case!. A few could be copying, but I like to give the benefit of the doubt and consider that someone thinks the same way that I do!.

I hope you will continue to enjoy the astrology section and feel welcome here!. I'm not a regular because I don't have much free time with my work schedule, but I enjoy this section!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

What bothers me worse is the person who goes back and pastes what someone else said!. I do want to say that so far I've only witnessed TWO people doing that!.

I also want to say that most person in this section seem to be more genuine in giving their own answers!. There are some who cut and paste from astrology websites, you do know that!? This could be why some answers are the same, they have both cut and pasted them from something they read!. also, sometimes an answer such as Neptune opposing Mars or Libra rising or Saturn square Mars may actually be the BEST answer and so those in the know are giving that answer as confirmation, rather than copying!.

To Jamie: You sound so defensive!. Now we cannot STAR this question without it looking like we are taking part in your 'intervention'!. In psychology, an "intervention" is an attempt to compel a subject to get help for an addiction or other problem!. If you compare profiles, this person only has 20 best answers and you have 147 best answers!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I understand how you feel and why you are directing it toward this astrology forum!. I am new here too, and there are some things I don't understand about the way people do things in this section!. I'm not sure why some people are getting irate about it!. Maybe you stepped on some toes!?

The person who would annoy me the most is someone who would go back and edit and edit theirs to add things that other people have said!. I've only witnessed a few people doing this sort of thing!. Hope that helps!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

That's just silly!. Who cares about BA!?!? It's all about giving the asker the correct answer!.

I would think that repeat answers would be more prevelent in this section!. If someone says "I have Virgo Sun and Leo Moon!. What does that mean!?", I would expect all the answers to be at least similar!. At least the answers from those who know what they are talking about!.

I've never seen anyone go back and paste what someone else has later answered!. I think you may be paranoid!.

Besides, Isn't imitation the most sincere form of flattery!?


______________________________________!.!.!.

My original answer is above!.

The following are my responses to people referring directly to me by name!. I'd find it flattering if it wasn't so truly bizarre!. I've never received so many TDs!. It's a bit of a rush!. LOL More please!.

______________________________________!.!.!.

***edit -- Dude! You have 42% best answers!. You may be a BA junkie!. I'm organizing an intervention!. Anyone who would like to take part should star this question!. Cause everyone knows stars are where it's at!. ;)

LOL!.!.!. Giving you a star is not hostile!. I was trying to make light of things!. BAs are mostly irrelevent!. Why take it all so seriously!.

Gee Rob-- I can be defensive about some things but certainly not this question!. Mercury retro seems to be affecting your perception!. You shouldn't base your actions or lack thereof on anything I say or don't say!. Star if you want to star!. Don't star if you don't want to star!. That goes for anyone else!. You can even include a disclaimer in your response!. Paranoia has ran rampant around here!.

Lighten up for Chrissakes!!!

the- I really wouldn't care!. I have two open questions!. Feel free to hijack if you want!. You are making this more about me than I am!. :P

And besides this question has absolutely NOTHING to do with Astrology!. It asked for an opinion which I gave and will continue to give as people continue to address me directly instead of just answering the question!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Jamie's right!. It doesn't matter!. Some of you are reading way too much into what she's saying!.!.!.

I would expect answers to astrological questions to be similar, at least to the really easy ones anyway!. And the hard questions frighten the wannabe, so they won't respond to them or they'll cut and paste from astro!.com or something instead so those are easy to pick out!. !.

People cut and paste off of websites constantly here, and get BA and Top Contributor/Top Answerer for it!. Evidentially plagiarism is no longer considered unethical in today's society and is instead rewarded!.!.!.But no one of any merit here respects the frauds!.

But I digress!. I could care less if someone copies my answer and gets BA for it!. Why!? Because it makes them look really bad!. Everyone knows them for the frauds they are!.

I don't care if someone goes back and edits, either!. Most the time the questioner will look over the correct answers and pick one that's totally stupid anyway!. And usually the person who gets the most thumbs down on a good answer is right anyway, so the voting mechanism can't be relied upon!.

So, really one just sorts through the fertilizer to find the roses here!.

**Obviously, my theory is correct!. Luckily I expect a bumper crop of roses in this section soon!.!.lol!.!.**

**lol@Ax!.!.!.witness Neptune retrograde in action!.!.!.people only see what they want to see in the answers!.!.!.*Www@Enter-QA@Com

Jamie is right!. This question doesn't even belong in this section!. It is chatting pure and simple!.

Anyone who agrees with your theory knows very little about the nature of astrology!. Of course there will be repeat answers to EVERY question!. Just like if someone asked "what is 2+2!?"!. If six people answered 4, does that mean that five of them copied!? Silly, indeed!!!

Funny that Jamie and Ms Kuhnlena are the only two answerers I even recognize from horoscope section!. I bet most of the rest don't even realise they wandered in here accidentally!. lolWww@Enter-QA@Com
