Topic: Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed - page 161. (Read 116003 times)

I have PM'd LoyceV about one spammer, who has copied and pasted my post as his own.
It makes it even worse, that it is a lending request and he only changed his own ETH address into it. I feel like he is just trying to get some free crypto, because of paying no effort at all. However as i've heard that copypasting is a serious offense here and causes permanent ban (not red trust), i have asked for LoyceV's advice and he said that is should post my complaiment into this thread.

Edit: I want to make moderator's job easier, so i will quote the posts here. In case that they get edited, there is an archived pages below.

My 0.001ETH lending request:


BoostTM's lending request copied from me with only ETH address changed:


Here is the post with my and BoostTM's thread, which he copied straight out from me: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.33214334

I've archived those pages for this purpose, let's make this forum better!

I hate to see the spam slowly move to the serious boards. I invite everyone to try to report 100% of them, so it doesn't pay off to spam there!

I agree, the quote function makes it 'cleaner'. I didn't use it that much until now because it makes everything harder to read as things get smaller and in many cases, it breaks the reading flow. But this incident here made me a bit more aware that people are actually concerned about plagiarism and that this seems to be important to them.
In the coming days, I'll successively go through my past posts and check them carefully  


No worries, I harbor no ill feelings. As this is my hobby I have absolutely no intentions of having mortal enemies, my free time is much too valuable for that

I don't see him pretending he's the creator. The references he uses aren't "forum-style quotes", but clear enough to make it clear someone else created it.
The main reason why I would prefer a quote for on-forum usage, is standardization: it makes it easier to quickly see it's a quote than looking for a "quelle".
After a more thorough look, I would for sure not call this plagiarism.

I think this is good to do in general. And when quoting, try to make them as small as possible without removing context. If it's just an image you're quoting to show it on a local board, I'd say removing all English text and only showing the image is just fine.

Not all reports in this thread have been banned yet. If theymos makes a list of banned account available as data dump, I want to list them all for easy banning.
If that won't become available, I can only check who has recently posted something.

Wow, never thought that trying to be more active and helpful would end up in me being in a witch-hunt.
The images even have a watermark and show that they are by zentdex. I never edited them or cropped his name out, I also linked to him or the original thread.

What boggles me is, if you have a problem with the way I post, why wouldn't you say something to me personally? I would've edited the posts, no problem. I don't want to get credit for something I didn't do and I also create infographics and statistics myself, so I know how much work this can be.
You say that the citation is "very small". It's the normal font face and size. The problem now is - as I don't have any problem with making the links red and bold or actual quotes - even if I would do this, you'd only accuse me of trying to hide something.

It's so easy to point a finger and accuse someone of what might be considered a minor forbearance.
What's your angle here? Do you want to 'defend' zentdex? Do you want me to get banned? What do you want? You obviously don't want me to change the way I credit someone's work, else you would've talked to me, at least once.
This level of distrust resp. pessimistic/destructive behavior really saddens me. If you want to improve things, talk to people. Or am I just not worth it and it's easier to get rid of things that annoy you?

I really don't know what to say to your accusation as I only try to bring things to the local board as not all members frequent the Meta forum.
You're also saying that I never quote posts when I repost content and that's just not true. Until right now I figured that this is a forum and not some kind of board where someone's posts are being 'checked carefully' like in a scientific paper. But even there you cite the source and don't insert a photo of the original article whenever you refer to something as it's not mainly about who made the content you referred to but about what can be learned from it. I never claimed the work as mine and gave a source.

So, as you seem to have a problem with the way I posted but never saw the necessity to say this directly to me, either via PM or under one of my posts but instead, you chose to accuse me of plagiarism in a thread that aims to permaban someone, what do you propose?
To be honest, as irritating as this might be (and it is, at least for me), it also shows a nasty side effect of the new Merit System. Until now I never even thought about plagiarism in the way you obviously do. I saw this forum as a means of exchanging information.. but well, learning never stops.

Next time I re-post content, I'll use the quote-function, so that everybody is happy.
And for future reference: If someone has a problem with me or the things I did, please talk to me.

I'm not sure what's this user Dhara1 trying to do,
but failing to quote and no additional contents in his post makes me believe it's a (failed) bot thing or intentionally copy paste
and most of his earlier posts are repeated one liner post with less than 5 words
I did a quick check on three of his last posts and this the result (each copied from another post in the same thread)

P.S: I hope that i'm not wrong about this, i will appreciate to let me know.

Yes I wrote the same thing:

I do not see the difference as creating these graphs and tables require a lot of efforts as you know, and it seems to me that posting them pretending as if he created them is nothing but plagiarism.

http://investaltcoins.com/question/how-can-i-convince-friends-and-relatives-to-invest-in-bitcoin/

The proper way to do this would be using the quote function. Example:

I don't think he should be banned (which is what this thread is for), but I do think he should adjust his references to be actual quotes.

I found the user mithrim has repeatedly posted merit stat graphs and tables, which were originally created by zentdex and posted in the threads:

[1] Merit Stat from theymos data
[2] Where the Merit Pours?

to German local threads and LoyceV's Merit data analysis.  Thanks to these posts, mithrim has collected 11 merits so far.

The problem is that mithrim typically does not cite zentdex, and seems to be pretending as if the materials were created by mithrim.  mithrim sometimes gave a credit to zentdex, but the citation is very small: For instance, you can see "*Quelle" at the end of this post for a link to zentdex's original post.

zentdex signed like "stats: by zentdex" in some of the graphs / tables, but not all.  As zentdex's analysis is quite informative, I understand people want to share it, and zentdex would be happy about that.  Needless to say one needs to give a correct credit to zentdex's hard work.

The correct way is to quote zentdex's original posts.  However, mithrim never quote the zentdex's posts.  The following is the current list of mithrim's posts.  I must say they are plagiarism, please check them carefully.

The list of mithrim's posts copying and pasting the graphs and tables created by zentdex

This post copies 2 graphs and 3 tables from [2], and mithrim obtained 4 merits.
This post copies 1 graph and 2 tables from [2].
This post copies 1 graph and 1 table from [1], and mithrim obtained 1 merit.
This post copies 1 table from [2] and mithrim obtained 2 merits.
This post copies 1 graph and 1 table from [1], and mithrim obtained 3 merits.
This post copies 2 graphs and 1 table from [2], and mithrim obtained 1 merit.

I see a lot of people pushing for companies like Amazon to accept Bitcoin as a payment option. Have we considered the

implications of these decisions? Let's say we cannot scale to "service" the need for millions of new people who would use

this technology for the first time. What a big embarrassment would it be, if people waited 13 hours for their transactions to

be confirmed. Doing this now will hurt Bitcoin more than any other "bad" thing that has happened to it before.

We need to wait for the perfect scaling solution to address this problem, before Amazon or any other big retailer starts to

accept Bitcoin as a payment option. The Lightning Network might get us close, but it is not a proven technology yet.

Let's hear your thoughts on this?

In these times of Mass scammers out there, I urge people to use an escrow. There are many good members out there willing to help to secure the bitcoin community, There are also more people willing to do anything to scam you out of your coins, Please just do your research on someone before you part with your hard earned coins.

An escrow list - updated 11/17

Note to mod, I know this is in the wrong section as I am not selling anything, I feel we all need to be wiser, People in the selling forums are less likely to look elsewhere for information on what this is and how it is acheved,
Even if a few people read this and use escrow, Or a few scammers don't get their coins, I will consider this a good job.
Please consider not moveing out the way, This needs to be addressed.

There is a new wave of possible scammers, People who buy up legendary accounts and trade untill they have large sum of money then run, This has been done with a very trusted account recently.

Please be cautious, I am trying to set up a 3 way secure key escrow for my personal escrows to add peace of mind.

I would like to point out, that I do not partake in escrowing forum accounts, I never have and never will, in fact its against the rules on my forum, This is a trust based commodity as it stands, if we keep moving the goal posts as well as the stadium, no one can be accountable for theft!

Keep safe people, dont give up, trust in BTC, suspect people :-)

please watch out for fake accounts made to look like hero/legendary escrow accounts, check the join date and the letters of the name exatly! some use numerical 0 instead of alphabetical O, and please watch out for sold accounts! this forum allows selling of any account, so make it difficult to know who's still real, I do not allow selling of accounts on my forum

I can’t find the source for the third post by the “salsa” account; but it is obviously plagiarized, too.  It even references a “table below” which does not exist in the post.  It appears to be copied from marketing materials for Monex Investindo Futures (MIFX), an Indonesian forex broker.  Incidentally, the material is off-topic in the thread.

https://web.archive.org/web/20180322013759/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2711756.msg27751213#msg27751213

What is the effect of spread on profit opportunities?
Often traders only consider commissions trading. In reality, trading profits depend on commissions and spreads. Monex comes with the lowest commission and spread combinations with no hidden costs that give you a lower break-even point and a 40% higher profit chance *.
* You can see illustrations of the effect of spreads and commissions in the table below

Why deal with market execution?
Market execution is an order to buy or sell at the best available price when the broker receives the request. The order will be immediately done without "requote" or rejection at the best market price so as to guarantee the speed of your transaction.

Why choose an official licensed legal broker?
As a legal broker under the supervision of BAPPEBTI, Monex has operational standards in line with applicable regulations, including a separate account system applied to all customer funds. This ensures the security of your funds is assured during trading. You can also enjoy the ease of withdrawing funds on the same day as all client funds are kept in account in Indonesia.

Similar as with the account’s third post, its fourth post is self-evident copypaste plagiarism related to an Indonesian service, stuck in a thread where it is off-topic (here deep on page 5).  This one appears to have potentially been run through a machine translation, and self-references “the authors” (plural).

For its fifth post, “salsa” copypaste from an article about the outsourcing of graphic design.  But here, “salsa” added its own creative touch:  Two emoticons appended to the bottom of the copypaste!

Note:  The sentence, “Graphic design is one of those things where people like different things but dislike the same ones” is a witty quip which appears to have been plagiarized by other sites (e.g.).

Putative original—link and boldface here presented as in the original:

Quote from: ?? on ??

Graphic design is one of those things where people like different things but dislike the same ones. In a way, when a bad design appears in the world, anyone can tell it’s bad. That’s why you need to be extra cautious when delegating your graphic design tasks to someone else.

                 

Once familiar with the risks, taking the decision of choosing the right outsourcing company will turn into a child’s play. Or at least your choice spectrum will be significantly narrowed down.

If you’re looking for a partner, we - from ICT Burgas, can connect any business looking for outsourcing opportunities with the appropriate local company and guarantee its efficiency and premium quality.

We’ve always preferred bad news served first so let’s try something unconventional and start with the cons of outsourcing your graphic design tasks.

 

Note:  The copypaste job did not retain formatting, but did keep the weird invisible whitespace on the apparently blank second line.

For its sixth post, the “salsa” account plagiarized an old version of Wikipedia’ Bitcoin article.  This text has been plagiarized (without attribution) on multiple other websites, and was likely copied from one of those.

Wikipedia’s edit history has many variations of the wording within this passage; there is probably one which is an exact match, which I simply didn’t find in the page’s voluminous edit history.

(Aside:  1rYK1YzEGa59pI314159KUF2Za4jAYYTd also shows up as an example address in https://casascius.com/AgreementToDeliverBitcoins.pdf, which is still served up with a last-modified date of 2011-02-04 17:39:13 (UTC).  Does anybody know what that address is, or where it originated?)

The “salsa” account’s seventh post is self-evident plagiarism from a source I cannot immediately locate.  It appears to be from marketing materials for “Journals, cloud-based online accounting software”.

https://web.archive.org/web/20180322031043/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1635900.msg27824788#msg27824788

Quote from: ?? on ??

Accounting according to the American Accounting Association is a process of identifying, measuring, and communicating economic information to get the right decision from users of corporate information. However, in the process many companies experience mistakes in the accounting process that can cause losses to the loss of trust from others. Here are some mistakes in accounting processes that are often found in companies.

 

Recording & Reconciliation Errors

As businesses begin to run smoothly, many entrepreneurs ignore the financial statements simply by reason of not having much time. By not logging business transactions, financial statements will be inconsistent with actual company conditions. Inappropriate and inappropriate financial statements can have a negative effect on the company such as credit rating to be bad or delivery of goods from suppliers to be not smooth.

 

Only Make Reports as Records

Many entrepreneurs see accounting only as a process of recording corporate financial data that serves only to calculate the balance of the company or the interests of taxation. But in reality, financial statements can provide information as a consideration chart to determine decisions or create strategies for developing a company's business.

 

Forgot Saving Transaction Proof

Often forget to keep a proof of a transaction like a receipt or note often happens to everyone, especially when attention and thoughts are focused on things. While receipts and notes can be a valid evidence when there is a difference in the number at the time of checking financial statements. Not only that, receipts and notes are also very useful and can facilitate the process of audit and taxation.

 

Mathematical Error When Counting

Counting errors do not only happen to the culprits but also often happen to experienced accountants. This error often occurs when in a hurry or when tired so can not detect the error. Error calculating when combined with input and reconciliation errors can be a big mistake in the company's financial statements. Where, if the error is unknown for months can lead to a more complex problem when it wants to fix and resolve it.

 

Those are some of the most common mistakes in the accounting process. To reduce accounting mistakes many entrepreneurs are entrusting their business accounting process with accounting software. Journals, cloud-based online accounting software can help entrepreneurs in making financial reports instantly. Not only that, with Journal accounting software, you can also monitor financial reports anywhere and anytime in real-time. For more info on Journals, you can see here.

I'm not sure what is going on with the Forum Moderation Policy thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=20333.620 but the last 10 posts are all copy pastes from earlier in the thread. I reported the 1st three but they keep coming.

I'd give this guy the benefit of a doubt because he seems to be advertising this site (blockpit.io).
If you look at his previous posts he's quoted them multiple times and placed a link to their site below the posts.

Maybe he simply forgot it this time.

Also, it looks like he's posting a lot in German and blockpit is a German news site, so he could technically be working for them.

Jr. Member yaya91 is another one who's entire posting history is just copying the first two lines of a news report and giving the link without adding anything to it.
