Title: User 'mbahokey' cheating on the campaign by the copy-pasting article from others
Post by: The Cryptovator on October 21, 2020, 08:16:02 AM
User mbahokey (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=978568) had participated Blog/Article campaign in [Bounty]DEGO.Finance Defi with Sustainability-100,000 DEGO Token (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5272474.0). Not sure how the campaign manager had collected the campaign report but this user's report marked as plagiarism on the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tzocPq-0bJKR7d3ZFxkjrY2iJjjP5Y9EQOQtK6rDVQE/edit#gid=853762438) (Article#143) when the author of the article claims it. Today I receive PM via telegram from the author of the article called @BlockhainMediaID, he had asked me to create a thread against this user since he doesn't have an account on the forum. I am not sure if he is the original writer, but it's pretty sure user mbahokey plagiarized from other's websites.
  
Submitted article: https://archive.is/Mr4zM (https://archive.is/Mr4zM)
Plagiarized from: https://blockchainmedia.id/panduan-untuk-pemula-apa-itu-defi-decentralized-finance/ (https://blockchainmedia.id/panduan-untuk-pemula-apa-itu-defi-decentralized-finance/)
Proof of authentication: https://archive.is/km98u (https://archive.is/km98u)

You may notice at the bottom of the article, mbahokey claimed himself as a writer of that article. The problem is, I am not sure if the medium account (https://medium.com/@mbahokey) really belongs to the user 'mbahokey' since he hadn't posted a medium profile by his forum account. I think the manager would know about it since he rejects for plagiarism. I have sent PM to the manager.

Unfortunately bounty campaigns are filled with cheaters and it's hard to stop them all 100%. I get all kinds of pms from users claiming someone used their ID for a telegram claim, copied an article, or multiple other things.

Really quite ridiculous to be honest.

Although the user in question is not a newbie, what is not logical for me at all is that newbies are accepted in bounty campaigns without even writing a single forum post. If we want less cheating than we should change some minimum requirements for such campaigns, but the rule of quantity instead of quality still applies here. I must admit that I do not envy at all those who deal with bounty management, no matter how much they are paid for their services.

If the campaign manager has marked it as plagiarized I think that shows that the user really did commit plagiarism. I think if you want a confirmation on that part what you can do right now is to contact the campaign manager and ask where he did the plagiarism just to confirm if he is controlling the medium account where the plagiarism has happened. The user thought that translating Indonesian to English will make him get away with a plagiarism accusation but luckily a lot of parties had catch up especially the author of the content.

It's his account certainly, he has used the same medium profile in other bounty too, I have checked KingCasino content bounty and found he used the same medoum profile. It's unlikely that he will use another persons account as both username are same.

Yea, I have found on the KingCasino spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JGIe5in7L74WmYkKqFRPXGNw0kHQmTyAUgmUF6mUwx8/edit#gid=1701124687). Based on it, it's sure that he has used the same medium profile on other campaigns, it means he is the culprit.

I am gonna tag him since he tried to cheat the campaign manager and plagiarized content from others for the content campaign.

you can do right now is to contact the campaign manager and ask where he did the plagiarism just to confirm if he is controlling the medium account where the plagiarism has happened.
Not necessary, got evidence from above
