Topic: Protect Your Account From Plagiarism Ban - page 3. (Read 873 times)

Just create/compose your own. If you can't do that yet, then read and learn first.

Those high-ranked accounts were recently banned for posts/comments they made years ago when they were just a newbie. It's unfortunate that they did not start right.

Most of the merit givers are merit sources and those who have merit to give are mostly great members who knows the rules. So I think they will not give merits to plagiarize post.

All you need to do to avoid getting banned for plagiarism is not plagiarize. This is not a complicated concept.

Thats insane actually. Is the need for merit put people to such desperate measures as plagiarism?
Personally i saw couple people that made "guides" here, which was not even formatted copy-paste but didnt realise scale of this behaviour.

Thanks for providing the thread link mate. Thread has been updated with the link which will surely help our community users to avoid plagiarism IMO. 

I strongly believe the reporter of those recent plagiarism cases is a bot, I just read LoyceV thread and I'm seeing 300-400 banned users daily in the last two days it can't be a human maybe that's why quality contributors are getting punished for their past mistakes. Just like I did some time ago, I believe if a user is putting in some effort in regards to contributing positively to the forum and you come across any of his post that can implicate him/her for plagiarism the noble thing to do is call his attention to correct it but when the user doesn't change then you can alert moderators through reporting.

OP you should include this thread; TIPS TO AVOID PLAGIARISM so new members can benefits too.

I doubt that many people will actually recall what posts they copy/pasted in order to pinpoint them and delete them.

I’m personally not keen on deleting past posts as a practice. Perhaps on a recent post one may make a mistake or provide information similar to another recent post, and decide to erase it before it gets read, but older posts are part of your history on the forum, and should remain essentially there.

Perhaps the question we should be asking is why people resort to copy/paste in the first case. With few exceptions, the answer is generally down to speeding up the signature campaign quota compliancy, or merit fishing.

Note: If the forum wanted to go hardcore on plagiarism, they could easily do it with processes that work directly against the database. For some reason, that does not take place, and it's down to thirdparty to report these cases.

A person with new account or old account must always read forum rules if there is any changes or not. When posting we should make sure that it's entirely your work and not someone else's work you just copy without giving credits to the owner or providing the source where you get the idea. In short, always add the site of the source if you are planning to share an idea, guides or tips in here. As discussed many times plagiarism is about copying someone's work and claiming it as your own idea and get banned.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my thread. Currently in meta section i have seen a lot of ban appeal thread. So many members including legendary, DT accounts are getting ban due plagiarism issues. You can find from LoyceV's thread how and why so many accounts have got banned recently.

Unfortunately some best contributors are also getting banned nowadays. Maybe someone actively reporting for plagiarism post or created a strong bot for reporting plagiarism I think thats the reason why people are randomly getting banne. As an example you can read this Ban Appeal . Basically their plagiarism issues was a matter of their past mistakes. In my opinion at the beginning of their forum journey they have made those mistakes and maybe they didn't know about the rules at that time. For why they haven't bother to delete their posts.  

I opened this thread to let them knows who haven't got enough knowledge about plagiarism. I will friendly suggest them to review their post history and delete the post if there is any copy - paste from others. You can save your account from plagiarism related ban by following this step.

Honestly we don't want to lose a single good quality poster or contributor of the forum for this kind of plagiarism issues. I believe its better to erase our old mistakes and also should be careful in future to avoid plagiarism strictly.  

Special Note: Don't forget that forum rules is same for everyone.
