Topic: NOTES when bringing articles to the forum -Newbies,Low-rank- (Read 170 times)
That kind of posting habit may earn but when it comes to ranking up higher won't be easy. I have been a shitposter before and only want to earn merit but when I came across a thread about something people discussed but I don't know what I would do so, what I did is I research about the topic and at last I learned and I know what to post compared to copy paste, and telling opinions without understanding what it means.
I would also add that when you are copying directly from the article to put that text inside quotation marks, as that's the proper way to deal with verbatim copying. While copying big pieces of article and just sharing link in the end is enough to cover your ass from being reported for plagiarism, it's still not right and in my opinion is dishonest.
I've seen quiet a few of those ( and not not just noobs ) not doing that part properly, whether due ignorance, laziness or simply wanting to appear that they wrote the whole thing by themselves.

If you see a post looks lengthy and have good information but at end of it, poster leaves a source to a newsletter article, will you send merit to a poster?
Think:
- Fill up weekly post quota
- Try to copy & paste & source to earn merit
- Does a poster write about own opinion and discussion on the newsletter article?
I think about it after I see that topic and many newsletter article sharing posts were meritted and see another topic If you received a merit ...

I and I think many feel irritated, annoyed or shakes head at the little-no work in bringing articles, write-ups note from here and there into the forum raw as the saw it on the other site with out at least refining it with there own knowledge from it, knowing if its correct/of-help.
This is not my first time on this topic, I had made a topic about it
