People coping answer on Q&A
-
Just wondering if any one else noticed this trend. I post a couple of answers to question a couple of months back. I try to check on them once and a while for the first week or 2 than after that I pretty much forget about them. Today I noticed that one of my answers from a couple of months ago got marked as the solution and there was a comment. So I went back and checked on it. Someone had also posted a solution. What I found funny was they had just copied the code from my solution and used it as theirs. There was nothing in their solution except the code. Isn't a big deal but I found it was funny that people would do this. They even kept the comment word for word that I wrote in the code. I checked a couple of other solutions and found the same thing. Was just wondering if anyone else had seen this? And if you know why anyone would do this?

There are evil forces at work here. You must be strong, brave, and quick to report. If you try to understand the mind of this evil force, you to will become what you fear most...a Google hater.

Seriously, you can report them here: Bugs and Suggestions[^] You can also click the red flag on the post in question, and report them that way...as some here already mentioned. Good luck.

I don't think I have enough points to see the red flag. I don't see it any where on the question or answers. Thank you all for letting me know how to do this.

You should report them. Seriously.
