AI becomes more popular and shit posters in Bitcoin Talk use AI to make AI posts. Those posts are plagiarism and if you see AI posts, report them to help moderators delete those zero-value posts and ban shit posters.

I can not recall my memory why I missed the topic Plagiarism as a result of cultural differences by Pmalek.

hilariousandco again proposed for a warning on the first plagiarism and don't know right practice to quote and rule but the proposal is for different plagiarism and not all the same for all cases

There are some people who do both ban evasion and plagiarism. One account was banned and use a new account to copy and paste posts from the banned account. The new account breaks 2 rules: ban evasion and plagiarism.

For the new account, it no member finds evidence of the old banned account, it will be considered as plagiarism. If members find evidence of connection between new account and old banned account, it will be considered as ban evasion and plagiarism, nevertheless.

Is this plagiarism?

In the past few days, a couple of linked newbie accounts (similar name) used the following tactic on my local board: They created monolithic-paragraph posts, with content that they copied from a site (originally in English), translated it (presumably via Google Translate) and pasted the result into their posts. No link to the original source, no added value, and fairly inconsistent if you read the posts.

I presume someone was trolling with theses posts, but it’s no longer an issue: they’ve been nuked. They actually qualified both as plagiarism and low value content.
I know what you are talking about.

In August, that user was permanent banned because of plagiarism. Let's look at what he did to plagiarise. I saw his ban appeal in Meta.

For beginners what is technical analysis
He took the article in Arabic from Binance Academy, used Google to translate it into English and say he made that translation. The truth is Binance Academy has an English version for that article.

Hope it's accurate and helps.
Not accurate!

1. They either don't know the meaning of what the word means
2. They simply neglect and go ahead posting without reference to the source or three, they just don't know the rule.
3. They don't know what to post but really need to keep up with activities
4. They don't know the rules and regulations of the forum.
1. If they don't understand the word meaning, why they make post? It is time for them to learn English and use the forum in Read-mode only.
2. If they don't know the rule or know it but ignore it, they deserve the ban.
3. If they need to keep up activities (or post quota) but don't have ideas to use, the forum is not for them.
4. It is the same as the 2nd point.

Plagiarism evasion = rephrase + source = OP = Active
Posters don't need to rephrase to be active. They can do terrible rephrase and wipe out the good original meaning.

You can copy, paste, with links and show up your own opinion. No need to rephrase with links without your own opinion.

I made a post on a simple mathematical formula/equation to the definition of plagiarism and how to avoid being a victim of posting plagiarized contents. I'll just quote it here.

I'll keep it simple. There are a lot of ways to plagiarism in this forum, a few of them could be as a result of these factors which includes;

1. They either don't know the meaning of what the word means
2. They simply neglect and go ahead posting without reference to the source or three, they just don't know the rule.
3. They don't know what to post but really need to keep up with activities
4. They don't know the rules and regulations of the forum.

These are most likely the result but the later is not quite helpful as I'll put it simply in an equation;
Plagiarism posting rule:

Plagiarism = copy and paste - source = Ban
Plagiarism evasion = rephrase + source = OP = Active

Is either you you avoid or keep to the above rules respectively or that which is appropriate will be awarded you in accordance to the rules. Simple.
Hope it's accurate and helps.

The ban in mid of 2019 went away for a long time ago, but it is worthy to read and avoid permanent bans from your plagiarism. Maybe it is the first time you know about plagiarism and related bans on the forum. It's time to read and stay safe.

I think it is because they do not read the rules and even after read if they are doing than it is arrogance. I think there are rules which on broken there will be a temperory ban but plagiarism is all about stealing others work. Permanent ban is a fair justice.
They neither did read rules after creating their accounts here nor take care of the posts they make (copy & paste, spinned-texts, copy & google translate & paste, and more). They are lazy, don't care about rules, don't care about perma-bans because they believe they will not be caught. When they get caught, they complained about the forum, the rules, and their bans.

What makes me more surprised is that people know that their account will be permanently ban if they are  caught in plagiarism but they still do it. Either they are ignorant or they do think that no one will notice them.

Don't plagiarise. Please read OP to know reasons why you should never plagiarise and know how to avoid plagiarism (someone likely plagiarise without knowledge on forum rules).

It is a bump and will be deleted with my next bump.

Always a good idea to just write all original thoughts, no matter how messed up (or messy) it may look like, at least it is original. You can probably paraphrase an idea, but the point is that unless it is one or two short sentences, don't copy and paste.

Once again, I bump it to help you guys understand about the forum rules on plagiarism better.

Days ago, I also saw one user was banned because stealing banner designs of BitVest (Ban appeal is there: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unban-appeal-from-bitdeercom-5196114). I don't know that one will be called as plagiarism or not but at least from that case we know anyone who steal others' stuffs (documents, posts, banners, and more) will be banned when found.

Be careful, stay away from plagiarism, respect forum rules and others' works, just to be safe.

I did not see any single example where a second chance is given for plagiarism here or do u have any such evidence  Shocked
There are some users who have good net-effects in the forum, were given second chances and jumped out of grave. You can see some of them in OP, and there: [BAN APPEAL]UPDATE: Total table + Ban status (Need feedback from Global mods)
Around more than 14 users unbanned (with or without signature ban). I think there are more than 14 unbanned cases because that topic probably has not real-time updated.

Plagiarism is a crime and it is not only related to this forum. This is something which is not tolerable. Maybe in some countries you maybe fined or any other punishment if you are found in or violate the copyrights.
What makes me more surprised is that people know that their account will be permanently ban if they are  caught in plagiarism but they still do it. Either they are ignorant or they do think that no one will notice them.
Some users know about that rule but still do it while some users don't know about that rule till the days their accounts banned permanently due to their platgiarism in the past. But they both often appear with ban appeal and ask for forgiveness after deny their plagiarism at start. When proof shown by admin, moderators, forum users, and they are unable to deny their past plagiarism, they will turn into ask for forgiveness and second chance to jump out of grave.

I really don't understand why people still violate this forum rule called Plagiarism which means you will post or use someone else's post, topic, explanation or anything that is not yours but to make it as your own work without giving the credits to the owner. There is only one rule for all of those who don't want to lose earth.

I think the easiest way is to just write all original posts. No need to copy anything since they can all be referenced.

You may link or quote if something seems nice, and in fact it may be a good idea to quote the relevant text since years later, the original site may disappear and you won't understand what is being talked about.

But if everything, or almost everything you post about is coming from the fingers you tap onto your keyboard straight from your brain, then it is original and nothing will ever be plagiarized.

Just like this.

I read your thread and https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/report-plagiarism-copypaste-here-mods-please-give-temp-or-permban-as-needed-1926895 where people have reported for plagiarism. What I could take from all the discussion was that if you read something, understand and write/explain in your own words then it is not plagiarism. All this is when you just copy paste and put zero effort from your end and do not even give credits(mention) the original writer then you are misusing the article and you are punished(banned) for the same.

But, If you are here for knowledge then keep reading and where ever someone wants the knowledge you know just reply that as per your level of understanding. That is what is knowledge sharing right?

There are sites that checks plagiarism. I randomly picked one when I was reading the above thread and checked the reported replies the percentage plagiarism was more that 70-80%. In general one writes an answer on his/her own words then such answers are sometimes matching 30-40% that may be because of the general English sentences.

Is this how the moderators with the plagiarism thread or do they have a effective way to catch the culprits?

I edited OP by adding the rule #12 to let people whom have habits of copying and pasting their own posts around (multiple posts with same contents) that they have risks of temp bans by doing that.
