if you only asked Lutpin if you could use his (very well written) infos...he would have surely helped you to inplement your campaign...the problem here is not being sorry...the problem is the mental "starting point". It makes the difference! So if i was Lutpin i woudnt remove his red either if you "say" you are sorry.

I can not be in Lutpin position but every person is learning from mistakes. A neutral I think it could be enough.

It will be interesting if at a moment bitcointalk to be connected to the bitcoin network and give some special fees for scammers and etc. Till that moment this is just a forum.

Dear Lutpin,
I made a mistake by opening a signature campaign with pretty similar assets that you made.
I didn't made any money or generated any profit from your signature. I was unaware of plagiarism of reusing your OP contents and signature code. I will not repeat the same.
I'm sorry.
I am going to hire a manager to have complete different OP for my signature campiagn. Also will order appropriate new signature code.
I will remove all contents wherever I have used your assets.
Kind regards,
girlbtc.com


edit:  our campaign now , you can check

well lutpin is right but I think for copying and now that he has apologized I dont see a reason why you want to keep the red trust still

Moreover I see you are against site owners ( gambling ) is it because you just want to down others sites for the rise of cryto-games ?

Anyhow I dont think he deserves a redtrust mate.

1.I am not going to disagree with you , that I did copy your thread and made a campaign.  because at that time , I think all campaigns are the same , there are no copyright. And the purpose of the campaign is to make the forum active.

Is plagiarism ever okay? You may have thought that all campaigns were the same, but then why wouldn't you bother checking other campaigns? Or perhaps creating your own, with inspiration from Lutpin's layout?

3.I changed the Signature Design,and also  locked the old thread  ,started a new thread with nothing similar to youalmost immediately to show that I am positive and friendly  to  make this accident down.  also leaved a positive trust on you to mark your are a good Signature Campaign Manager.
Your new thread still has essentially the same things on it. Changing a few words here and there doesn't mean it's not plagiarism. You pretty much just removed centering and changed about 20 words, along with some of the text in the signature. I can't copy someone's essay, go into thesaurus.com and switch up a couple of words to state that it is my own. Also, leaving a positive trust has no purpose whatsoever.

About plagiarism: it doesn't matter if you apologized or PMed for solutions - it doesn't change the fact that you did it. And I would like to think that most people understand that copying work is not okay. At all.

Thanks Timelord2067

you have said what I want to say

and to Lutpin

1.I am not going to disagree with you , that I did copy your thread and made a campaign.  because at that time , I think all campaigns are the same , there are no copyright. And the purpose of the campaign is to make the forum active.

2. ok, you are still thinking of copyright or something called plagiarism.  Ok I am sorry for what I have done, and immediately PMed you for solutions. you ignored all my PMs and opened this  Scam Accusations, which put me in a  bad situation.

3.I changed the Signature Design,and also  locked the old thread  ,started a new thread with nothing similar to you  almost immediately to show that I am positive and friendly  to  make this accident down.  also leaved a positive trust on you to mark your are a good Signature Campaign Manager.

I did all I can do to show that I am friendly and no offence to your great work.

However leaving or not leaving the neg trust is your right.


Best wishes

While I agree that Girlbtc.com has copied your work, this would be better suited to be put into the Reputation thread, not the scam, unless you are making the allegation that GirlBTC.com is scamming users?
I usually get paid for my work as a campaign manager. Taking it, or parts of it, without compensating me for that is a scam in my book, as it's causing me financial damage.

I can't recall off the top of my head where I've seen it recently, but other UID's have used other UID's works as templates for their own and attributed the original work which GirlBTC.com hasn't done.
There's a thin line between inspiration and plagiarism, which we often see in copyright law. This case however is more than clear.
The user didn't select my thread as a template, they copied 99% of it.

Because you are on the DT, your red flag has been copy-catted by others, which I guess you are ok with / what you set out to achieve - copying of your work.
I'm not on DT to make money, it is however one of the reasons why I manage campaigns.
If someone backs up one of my feedbacks, that is supporting my point, hence helping. Copying my threads is not, it's damaging. There's the difference.

As with any "scam accusation", the obvious question is "Did you contact this person first?"  Are there any screen shots / text of these conversations?  Did GirlBTC.com make an admission of copying your work?
They tried to buy their way out of the situation with leaving me a positive feedback, at which point I decided to not pursue any further PM contact with the user.
"You are a professianal Signature Compain Manager, who make the details clear enough, that's why I choose and copy you , I just put a positive trust on you."

When you say intellectual property, how did you create your own work?
With a keyboard, cherry MX red switches and my 10 finger. Need a picture?

I can do the same here - that is to say leave neutral trust for plagiarism, if you like?
Leave trust up to your own standards.
I described the situation and whether you want to a feedback for it, and what sort of feedback it is, should be up to you.

If you review this trust wall https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=663403 you will see both myself and -Oxygen u=877812 have left neutral trust on their trust wall for what can only truly be described as "PLAGIARISM" - I can do the same here - that is to say leave neutral trust for plagiarism, if you like?

Thanks for reading.

I pinged them that they should not do so , may be they want to get exempted from paying for signature design , but it is really not a good courtesy.
It is something called plagiarizing..

What happened:: Long story short, I have just discovered that the user girlbtc.com is ripping off my work for their signature campaign.

Scammers Profile Link: girlbtc.com

Reference Link: Here is my signature campaign started 2nd October
And here is their signature campaign started just today (http://archive.is/ydHEJ).
Amount Scammed: Hard to put numbers to intellectual property, but this is about principles.
Payment Method/Proof of Payment/PM/Chat Logs:: None.
Additional Notes: Comparison



Update: girl btc and I were abled to find a solution that works for both sides. While the initial situation didn't change, I'm OK with the outcome as of now and won't hold it against them, hence I removed my rating.
