Hi All.
 
Is it ok to post here if I use my already posted article in some other forum.
Off course I will maintain in disclaimer, that where I posted this article first and direct link to that forum.

In this way, I am re using my original work in this forum (not copy/pasting others), just want to know what the forum guidelines say about it.

I read the rules they only say that: (nothing written about re use so want to be sure)

33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.[e]

One warning: I think you should limit this to relevant posts, and don't use it to increase your post count only. It shouldn't look like spam.

More to the point, it shouldn’t be spam.


I think you can give reference to your Steemit link, no need to include Steemit account in Signature.
Since you already found a copy-paster , I will suggest you to report him in LoyceV thread.

Well I didn't award the merit anyway.

What about the other bit? I've added my Steemit name to my profile as I suggested. Is this something that others should do if they are active on other platforms?

We are Bitcoin!
Since the BitcoinTalk one is the latest March 31 and the steemit one is 4 months old, it's obvious that the BitcoinTalk one is copy/pasted.

I do not see any reference on the post, no mention of the steemit post as well so it's a plagiarism IMO  Smiley

Update:
A reference/mention always needed. There are no way to read the writers mind.

I was about to award this post with a merit, but I though I would run a quick plagiarism check -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.33568423
The check threw up this post on Steemit
https://steemit.com/scam/@bgsux/3-ways-to-identify-an-ico-scam

Now I have to ask a few questions.

Are both posts made by the same person, or has the new Bitcoin member copied the post from Steemit?
How can I check the identities?

I've started posting on Steemit. So far I haven't created any similar posts, but what should I do if I want to? One of the rules of Steemit is that posts have to be unique, but I'm not sure how rigorously that is enforced. What would be the safest thing to do? The easy answer would be to include my Steemit account name in my profile, but there isn't a box for that. I'm going to use the other contact information box to register my name. Is it likely that this will be checked if there is a suspected case of plagiarism?
