RE: PLAGIARISM ON STEEMIT!! - STOP IT - WE WILL FLAG AND REPORT YOU!

in #steemit8 years ago

Good on you Alla. You should get mad! It's a big issue, and it's not something that the community should give a free pass to. I'm glad you're helping to get the word out to your followers! :)

Now to plug @steemcleaners:

If people aren't convinced this is a huge issue, consider that Alla found 1 case of plagiarism.
This one will cozy itself next to a bunch of others on the next @steemcleaners log... next to 127 others, or maybe on the @cheetah log with 338 others.

Those are logs for ONE DAY.


Plagiarism is at an all time high, and we absolutely can use all the help we can get.

If you find plagiarism, please report it in steemit.chat in the room #steemcleaners-linkdrop.
For discussion of general abuse, head to #steemitabuse.
And finally if you want to talk meta about @steemcleaners itself, head to #steemcleaners-public.

And Alla is completely correct: WE PAY YOU TO REPORT ABUSE! If you upvote the @steemcleaners logs, ALL of that reward is distributed out to anyone who helps. Want a piece of that reward? Go help!

Okay, done my plug.

Thanks for your post @allasyummyfood

Fully support @cheetah and @steemcleaners. Both projects are providing a great service to the people in the SteemIt community. I will always flag articles that are plagiarized. And, any time I see a @cheetah post, I will check the link and comment about whether or not I think it is plagiarism.

Although I think the @cheetah comment is usefull, some of the channels I followed on YouTube/Twitter/Facebook or on their own website get this notification if they post their stuff here on Steemit.

Does that mean they get on the knotty-list?

@cheetah is a bot that only notifies that the content has been found somewhere else and it always includes a link to the content.

If they're reposting their own stuff, then they own the copyright. So, nothing to worry about. But, if they've outright stolen someone else's content as this article talks about, then there's a much higher possibility that they'll get noticed, flagged, listed on the @steemcleaners report, and become liable for a DCMA violation and/or a cease and desist order from the person (or group) whose work they stole.

Thank you for that! I have had a lot of people already reporting to me all the plagiarism they saw after this post, and I'm directing them to @steemcleaners so we will be more on a look out. So hopefully we are going to be able to monitor the platform better.

Thank you for this info allasyummyfood, this was a very valuable information now I knew there is a steemcleaners that will protect copyright of the author content this is awesome! there is a ***steembot ***called cheetah also will send a message to that person who did with the same article so people will then compare who created original but this ***steemcleaners is awesome.

Seems that people carry on plagiarising and thinking they won't be called out! I just found another account thats been making money and stealing recipes! and lying about it!

That was insane that's really Identity theft, but anyway I believed those will always not succeed that is life there's always a 2 different side a A Good and A Bad stay AWESOME! we are in a good side, don't let your day ruin by this bad side use them as opportunity instead you know what I'm talking, by this you become more tougher and more smarter than you think, look because of you I learned something. Thank you.

yes for sure!! :) apparently he was given several notices before!

Are there any non-chat options for reporting accounts?

When you say "Go Help", do you mean report the abuse or do you mean join the steemcleaners team? If the latter, how do you do that?

One might say that you are....STEEMED about it. :) Cheers, and I agree that plagiarism is a cancer that needs to be rooted out and destroyed.

That was funny!

I flagged the f@ck too. Like you said. It is just another of hundreds of plag f@ck that steemcleaners have to deal with each day. I will get my PC back soon and then will properly crack on this dirt. Just like good old times.

hahah thats the good spirit!!

THANK YOU for posting this. I've seen some questionable things to but haven't gotten into it as deep as you. It is as important as you've made it out to be. I actually tagged @steemcleaners a couple times but never heard or saw anything back. Do they usually get back when you tag them? I'm guessing they're swamped, but regardless...you got an upvote and follower...very nicely done post

Plagiarism is rampant. Good for you for taking a stance! I will be sure to report any if I see it!
