Bitcoin Forum

To help clarify this important issue, I would like to start a discussion about the plagiarism rule and policy on bitcointalk.org. Specifically, I would like to address the following questions:

What qualifies as plagiarism on the forum?
What are the consequences for violating the plagiarism rule?
How can users ensure that their posts are original and do not violate the plagiarism rule?
Are there any exceptions or nuances to the plagiarism rule that users should be aware of?

If your brain is functioning well, and you are sober enough, you should be able to understand everything right up there

You have been in that forum for almost a year and still ask questions like someone who just joined yesterday. Do you know how to use the forum search button?

1. Plagiarism is plagiarism every where. If you have copied someone else post and posted as your own, that's plagiarism. If you use a source link in the post, that's not.
2. Ban without any more consideration unless you are a significant asset to the forum.
3. To ensure users writing original post, ask them to write their own.
4. There are exceptions like not getting banned; told you above.

Plagiarism is everywhere not only here but also outside on this forum if you have knowledge about SEO and a blog site you should know that plagiarism content won't be able to rank up on the SERP and your site will be banned on Google and won't be able to index any content from your blog.

It's the same here you will be banned if you post plagiarism content without proper credit to the content owner. The reason why they do not allow plagiarism is that it would also affect the forum in the future sample if Google detected that there are lots of plagiarism on this forum then they penalize all content/posts that were recently indexed, will be removed from the SERP or the forum will be banned for indexing any content to Google.

Copying part or all of someone's writing without acknowledging that the work doesn't belong to you by referencing it. It is like claiming that a piece of information belongs to you while you copied it from somewhere.
The punishment for plagiarism is a permanent ban. You will not be able to post on the forum or create another account except it is for the appeal of the ban. The forum bans individuals and not accounts so if you create another account after a ban, it is called ban evasion.Creative thinking and inspiration are the birthplaces of originality. The forum promotes originality but you don't necessarily need to only post your ideas, just ensure you quote or reference the source of your information and that will be fine.
Plagiarism cases and handled differently by moderators. But the best exception is to avoid plagiarism.

Though it's answered above let me add mine.

• Copying and pasting text from a source without giving credit to the original author or without citing the source.
• Paraphrasing someone else's work too closely without acknowledging the original source.

Banning.

Your own words and your own thoughts which are you're safe, how to avoid?
Don't interact with that topic that you don't know.

No exception, no second chance.
For every platform that we join or use, there should be terms and this forum has also rules and guidelines that you must follow.
It's ideal for newbies to read the official guidelines on the forum before starting to post.

-No one is above the law-

Copying someone else’s work and passing it off as your own.
If you’re caught plagiarizing, your account will be permanently banned and you cannot create a new one, that would be ban evasion. The only chance you have of coming back to the forum is creating an appeal thread to plead your case.

Try and be as authentic as possible, and add reference links where necessary.

Plagiarism is handled case-by-case, moderators can be lenient sometimes and only delete the plagiarized post instead of banning the account.

I really hope for your ban.

1. Copying an article of someone and post it as yours is generally people tend to follow on bitcointalk
2. Permanent ban.
3. Don't copy anything from internet to post it here, you can take reference before posting but don't take credits for someone else content.
4. Pictures that seems the possible exception to my knowledge.

P.S if you really want to post an article which you think it maybe useful for others then simply copy the post and use

Plagiarism is just that you don't copy someone else's content and pose it as your's because you are not the original author of that so you are violating the forum rules.The simple way is to add source link at the bottom or write that content in quotes as follows:


To answer you question how do we avoid it is that you write your own and participate in discussion about which you have idea and knowledge.Suppose someone is asking about wallet and you have knowledge so contribute in your words what you want to share but on topic rather then searching for some articles and then writing the same thing you found over net as your posts.There is no chance that what you will write match exactly to someone else's content as there is difference of words and explanation.So gain knowledge and write your original posts if you want to avoid it.

Nine pages of nothing else but bounty reports and authentication posts to apply for bounties. And then suddenly he starts creating threads showing a high English proficiency. Very suspicious indeed. Someone who doesn't share a single thought for over a year is now asking what new subforums need to be added. Among the suggestions, he would like to have a dedicated board for mining. I wonder why the admins never thought of that. ;D 

Should in case you're getting the grammatical word too complex, plagiarism means copy and paste of someone else's work, article or anything that belong to them and claiming it to be yours, this is an informal way of stealing someone work without giving reference to the author or taking permission from them as well, it's a purnishable offence here on bitcointalk that attract the penalty of getting banned.


Permanent ban


Write your own article or post by yourself or give credit to the ones you copy by quoting them and provides the reference link to the source
