Topic: New to bitcointalk? Small advice to you. (Read 199 times)

I don’t know why new accounts are so keen on giving advice to newbies on how to earn merits or avoid plagiarism. It’s something I have seen many newbies do, and still do not take their own advice. If you type the key word plagiarism on bitcointalk, I’m sure dozens of threads will pop up. We really do not need another thread discussing the evils of plagiarism. If they didn’t read the forum rules thread, why do you think they would read yours?

According https://www.zerogpt.com/ OP seems 91% is suspected/generated through AI/GPT tools
Anyone can make this try...(reading the text I was seriously surprised for some errors/basic stuff...) Of course I don't know if this has been realized with an AI tools... but however another small advice should be something:
Avoid using AI/GPT Tools for your post unless clearly stated/or using quotes!!!

Why are we having lot of such articles explaining the same things like giving advice to newbies when they are also in the initial stage of forum rank up system? For those I will simply say to use search function to see if same thread has been already made or not instead of repeating the same rules we already have.

Right we can easily share the information from third party sources by simply quoting the content and also the link to source from where we have taken that piece of information to give credit and also don't come under plagiarism rule.There are many times we do it because some information needs to be shared exactly so we can copy paste but in correct manner so that it doesn't seem like we are writing that information.So use this way without any problem.

Forum does not need new topics about plagiarism, guides about it. There are many topics about it over many years.

What to do when you want to write a guide? Search first to find whether there are guides about it. If you find them, it's probably time to read them thoroughly and if you have no new idea to contribute, don't write yours.

Plagiarsism QA topics. I don't think new topics about plagiarism are necessary

[Guide] Searching effectively.

You can copy and paste  useful information needed here that why one can use or you can simply post your source.

The easiest way to end a journey on bitcointalk is to plagiarize, i don't know why many people still fall a victim to this category of offense becau it has been stated on the rules and regulations, but some may feels what will happen if they try doing it, maybe they would have thought about this forum not being moderated enough like other social media were.


If you think inserting links to reference your copy and paste is a solution enough to proof you're not plagiarizing, then i can tell you many people paraphrases and think it's a smart way to scale through, but you will still be caught if you do so.

This forum (bitcointalk) was not created by Satoshi Nakamoto it was Bitcoin created by him, you are mistaken.

Second, I agree with you. I am this forum, it is important to create original content, and if using external sources, must provide credit, added value from posts, data and must be based on experience or based on personal opinion.

At first every new Bitcointalk users should follow the rules properly of this forum and then you can discuss about Cryptocurrencies, trading, mining, Wallets and many more related to Cryptocurrency among the forum users. You can also share resources, advices, experiences and make posts which are constructive which will help newbies to rank up by receiving merits.

As much as this is true, it is also widely exaggerated.

What you and newbies also have to be aware of is that they can still get scammed in this forum by some users. You do not have to trust and believe anyone in your PM claiming to be something or someone who can perform a service, don't let your guard down because you are believe you are in a forum where there are important people.

In the topic, the OP writes that this forum has become a home for many influential figures in the world of cryptocurrencies.
OP, please elaborate on this. I would like to be more specific, are there those people who are known in the world and are regularly published here? After all, if you call the forum home, then obviously we should see these people every day.
All about plagiarism is a hundred thousandth post that a newbie writes in the hope of extracting merit.

There was a hidden meaning in the quoted post which was suggesting that you use the search option before making a post, this would show you if that content has been discussed many times before on different threads and may not call for a new one.

The search option is not to difficult to use and you can get a hang of it very quickly. This is a guide from tranthidung^[1] on searching effectively.

We already know that plagiarism is a serious violation that doesn't have a second chance to fix it, so we must first understand the rules of this strict forum and simply don't violate it.

I think beginners who come to the forum have been told that they have to read the rules first and then be reminded not to plagiarize unless they show the source below, and it's also bad behavior if all the words are taken from the article but don't add a single word of yours.

If you want to know this is a thread where everyone who commits plagiarism and is caught will be reported in this thread. Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed

The phrase plagiarism has been a watchword for us here in the forum, as the forum rule have zero tolerance for that act and needless for me to say much about plagiarism ad a lot has already been discussed on several threads and even on report plagiarism threads that have run into several pages.

I will like to commend your efforts in putting this out, just a resounding warning for newbies to avoid that disastrous act that could ruin your account and it is impossible to commit plagiarism and never gets caught, even if not immediately, but in the long run, the long arm of the forum law will still cash up with you.

Not a bad post if it weren't for the fact that this is the millionth post written on the subject. Besides I don't think you have to explain so much to people that you don't have to cheat trying to pass some ideas as yours without citing the source. It's like having to explain to people that you shouldn't steal.

I read blog post couple of months ago said Satoshi founded this.  Thanks for the update mate

Satoshi didn't create the forum as we know it, and he never made a single post on Bitcointalk. The forum's original domain changed twice until it finally became Bitcointalk.org. Satoshi was active in the initial forum on sourceforge.net. After that, the forum moved to bitcoin.org. I think it wasn't until 2011/12 that it finally became Bitcointalk. Satoshi was long gone by then.

There are reasons why it's necessary sometimes to copy-paste text, without having it be considered as plagiarism. There are two conditions for something to be plagiarized.

1. You make it look and sound like it's your original words.
2. You don't give credit to the original author.

Since you brought up Satoshi, I can begin a sentence by saying, Satoshi once said, "Satoshi's words here."
Even if I didn't put the source link, it's not plagiarism because I am not claiming the sentence as mine. I stated that Satoshi said it, not me. So, the first condition of plagiarism hasn't been met. Should you do it like that? Better not, just to be on the safe side. You don't want to give the admins question marks above their heads whether to ban you or not. So paste the link and be done with it.

Briefly, Bitcointalk is an online forum created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin as we all know. This is one of the oldest and most popular forums related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology as far as I know. Also, this is a place for discussion about a wide range of topics related to Bitcoin, altcoins, mining, trading, and other aspects of the cryptocurrency ecosystem and this is also a great place to learn a lot of things daily.

Today Bitcointalk has a large user base and is home to many popular influential figures in the cryptocurrency world. Also, the forum has a marketplace section where we all can buy and sell goods and services using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. You can find your favourites local community also in here. After that, you can also talk about politics, and project developments. In bitcointalk, you can ask things that are not related to crypto in the off-topic section.

But in the past couple of months my experience I saw a lot of newbies recently suspended their accounts because of this plagiarism. So, As a new member of Bitcointalk, it is very important to understand the community's rules and etiquette when posting content. One of the most important rules to keep in mind is the prohibition of plagiarism.

Briefly, Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's work/ideas/words without giving them proper credit, and it is considered a serious offence in academic and professional contexts also.

So When posting on Bitcointalk, always remember to create original content and avoid copying and pasting information from other sources. If you do use information from external sources, such as news, articles or research papers, or blogs, you must cite your sources properly and give credit where credit is due. If you break this then the results may not be good and you will be permanently banned from bitcointalk for sure.

My advice is don't copy and paste and then post anything here. Always try to write in your words what you have to say. It will help you to protect your bitcointalk account. it is your responsibility as a member of the community to create original content. Because this forum is a Gem for those who step into cryptocurrency.
