Which of this is plagiarism ?

[ShowOff]

During the celebration; 10th anniversary art contest there are some users who plagiarize random other people's image from the internet and post them on the app as their own. This is plagiarism because they use other people's work for personal financial gain but I'm not sure if some of the plagiarizing users have been banned.

But then I found this from theymos post:

- If people are stealing artwork (ie. not just using stock images, but true plagiarism), leave them negative trust.

To be honest, everything you share or posted that isn't yours or a work from someone else is plagiarism. If you want to stay in this forum for long then you should put a reference link to where you got it even if it's an image sharing something. I think it would be the first time someone will get banned if a person is posting an image that isn't his own work but shared it as his own work then it's already an act of plagiarism. It's in the forum rules that plagiarism is not allowed or frown upon doing so. I recommend providing a reference link to where that work came from either an image or a text just to be safe.

Using AI generated post, which I know that is not encouraged in this forum, what will be the penalty for such action,is this the same as plagiarism ?

A rule is a rule, like they said, I mean the higher ranked members of this noble forum, they said you shouldn't do this or that and you still went ahead to do what's against the rules and regulations of the forum the punishment won't change anything.
So to me, like you already know, plagiarism and the use of AI are wrong and you still go ahead to do it I feel the charges will still be punishment (doesn't matter the kind of punishment) that would cost you. Is best you avoid being in the bad book. All we know is that if you involve yourself in any of those two (plagiarism and use of AI) and found guilty, you'd be punished.

I need clarification please, so that I can last long here.

Hehehe😂, when you say "so that you can last long here", is it that you're planning on breaking the rules and regulations in this forum? You only last longer if you do the right thing which you already know, but if your intentions ain't good like the use of AI to spice up your post then you know how's going to end.

I have read about plagiarism in the forum which is a great offense here and anyone who is caught will get banned from the from. If someone wants to copy and paste here,he must provide a link to that which he has copied from.

Plagiarism means stealing information. when someone copies the same text without permission or giving credit to the owner of the original post. then it is considered plagiarism. this forum does not condone plagiarism. so your account may be banned due to this. So if you need to copy someone's post then you must add the source link to the post or quote the original post.

I don't know if someone wants to use a picture on the internet without providing a link to that picture, if that user will be banned for his action or I must also provide the link to that picture which I used. Is using someone else picture without providing the link also plagiarism.

You may not repost a picture once posted to this forum without the permission of the original poster. this cannot be the work of any professional person. for this, your account can be red tagged

AI generated posts are not considered plagiarism. but AI posts don't support forums. and no manager does AI post count for a signature campaign too. so avoid posting AI generated posts it may also cause your account issues.

If you want to not get banned here, then make sure that all of your submitted posts are originally from you. Do not copy paste other people's work. Use your own wit. It can also be applied to images, artworks, and other materials that has their rightful owners.
The thing is, if you want to use those works, then cite/credit them properly. If you do not know who the owner is/are, then just use the "anonymous" term or similar.

If you really want to last long in this community, all you have to do is to avoid anything that looks like cheating. Anything that is not originally from you, you have to reference it.
If you are in doubt that a picture that was not created by you is posted here that will lead to plagiarism, why not reference the picture or at least mention that it is not yours.

AI generated posts are not encouraged in this forum. If you get any post from AI, mention it that the post is AI generated, I think you will be safe.
Even if you copy a text from internet or from another user and you did not remember to put it in a quote but if you by your text express that the text is copied from someone else. I am not sure that no moderator will ban you. So the idea is always make it known that you are not the original creator when you are not the original creator.

This is a discussion forum and there are always references to what we are discussing to get our points across and to clearly explain our points of view, we should know how to give attributes or references when we're getting something from other platforms.

No admins of any platforms will allow plagiarism to be posted on their platforms, because their platform will be reported and worse taken down, so banning one who posted plagiarism is part of the rules of the owner of the platform.

Members should understand that there are rules and ethics that should be followed so they can continue to have a good standing on the platform where they are active.

while it's true that users who get caught plagiarising a content do get banned, lately it seems like staffs became more lenient on giving an outright ban if someone is caught plagiarising content.

I don't know if someone wants to use a picture on the internet without providing a link to that picture, if that user will be banned for his action or I must also provide the link to that picture which I used. Is using someone else picture without providing the link also plagiarism.

I haven't really seen anyone get banned from posting an image without a source but I have seen users get negatively tagged for using an image that isn't theirs to join a contest that is being run here in the forum.

I don't think the punishment is the same as plagiarism as I have not read someone getting banned for copying-pasting AI content.

actually it doesn't matter if you post other people's pictures including AI generators in this forum ^{(just visit the WO thread, there are lots of other people's pictures scattered about)} as long as you don't register it in contests with prizes because it's really a prohibited act.  Plagiarism is likened to an act of theft because it relates to other people's intellectual property, so don't carelessly post other people's work ^{(writing or pictures)} in this forum.

[Sim_card]

I feel relieved from all your comments and contributions on differentiating between both for me,I now understand everything that you all explained. It is true to get your own work done and not copying someone else's work without reference to that person,it means that you are cheating in disguise. I will do my best to keep all rules and regulations here to stay clean and also have good reputation in the forum in order for me to grow like every other forum members.

Plagiarism is a very big crime in the forum, because what from needs is your personal ideas not to paraphrase or plagiarised someone's articles, I understand that forum is a place whereby your opinion is needed, and your opinion should be a cogent one, I believe that in forum you most know what's obtainable before you present or render your own suggestions to the public, in the aspect of image, when you extract images from somewhere I believe that you have to include the source of the image except the image of your work you derived by your self. So it's good to isolate referencing another person work as an author of the work with claims, so when you copy attached the reference to avoid complications or forum ban from the moderators

For me, i think A.I generated is plaigarism because like chatgpt i think that a.i site is getting sources each site in google so it's illegal to use chat gpt in this forum and you will get banned by using this. You guys who using ChatGPT and thinking that you're helping, no you're not because thats not your own words and also you're not sincere helping other people so the people who uses a.i site should be ban in this forum !

Do we have any direct guideline of how to use chat gpt in the forum is if its totally illegal to use in this forum? Chat Gpt can be used to find data and source faster. You just needs to verify those data before using it. But my question is there any specific rules about chat GPT into these forum?

[UchihaSarada]

Plagiarism is a very big crime in the forum

It is not tolerated in tue forum but it is not a crime. Crime is too serious and Plagiarism is not a kind of serious crime.

You plagiarised and your posts are reported, you consequently will be banned.

33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.[e]

Rules are enough. You need source links to not be banned.

If you use content from ChatGPT but don't verify its quality, your posts will be deleted or moved to Offtopic.
Using content from ChatGPT is to get posts, and I can not feel sympathetic with those posters who are lazy and can not contribute good posts to help forum members.

We have to know about the actual meaning of Crime. It means breaking a law or rules which results punishment. So in this forum we also have some particular rules that should be followed by everyone. So if you break it then you will be punished and it's obviously a crime and punishable but not like a big Crime like breaking our country rules. They are totally different but it's also a crime in this forum. That's my opinion.

I don't think any specific rules is required about ChatGpt for using in forum. Because there are already complete guidelines for the forum like you can't post something which isn't written by you or can't copy someone. When you use ChatGpt to post that is not written by a human or you and have a huge chance not to provide correct answes. You may use it to find data or source faster as like using Google. But you should verify before posting and mention in a quote for sharing data or sources or share resource link.

This is a temporary policy intended to slow down the influx of answers and other content created with ChatGPT. What the final policy will be regarding the use of this and other similar tools is something that will need to be discussed with Stack Overflow staff and, quite likely, here on Meta Stack Overflow.
Overall, because the average rate of getting correct answers from ChatGPT is too low, the posting of answers created by ChatGPT is substantially harmful to the site and to users who are asking or looking for correct answers.

The primary problem is that while the answers which ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect, they typically look like they might be good and the answers are very easy to produce. There are also many people trying out ChatGPT to create answers, without the expertise or willingness to verify that the answer is correct prior to posting. Because such answers are so easy to produce, a large number of people are posting a lot of answers. The volume of these answers (thousands) and the fact that the answers often require a detailed read by someone with at least some subject matter expertise in order to determine that the answer is actually bad has effectively swamped our volunteer-based quality curation infrastructure.
As such, we need to reduce the volume of these posts and we need to be able to deal with the ones which are posted quickly, which means dealing with users, rather than individual posts. So, for now, the use of ChatGPT to create posts here on Stack Overflow is not permitted. If a user is believed to have used ChatGPT after this temporary policy is posted, sanctions will be imposed to prevent users from continuing to post such content, even if the posts would otherwise be acceptable.

While the above text focuses on answers, because that's where we're experiencing the largest volume of such content, the ban applies to all content on Stack Overflow, except each user's profile content (e.g. your "About me" text).

Crime is a commitment of someone either intentionally and unintentionally, so anything that make you to get banned in the forum is a crime,  I don't know what you understand by a crime and how you define your own crime, because I believe that without abiding on the rules and regulations of the forum we are automatically or basically on crime of the that can result out many things, some people has be ban on the forum in the respect of committing plagiarism and they later get unban depending the mistakes of the person, theirs is some plagiarism that the mod can be consider unintentional and when numerous members solicits on behalf of the user it can get unban, but if the commitment is obvious in which everyone have detect that the gravity of your plagiarism is intentional it will remain unban because the user have disobeyed the rules and regulations of the forum. That is while its called crime because you disobeyed the rules. When someone first registered in community and the link that will given to person by other members is to read the rules and regulations of forum.

Plagiarism is simple. If we post ideas or thoughts that come from other people, without any development or transformation of the original idea or thought, and we wrap it up as if the idea or thought came from ourselves, it is plagiarism. This is what needs to be avoided from this forum if you want to survive in this forum for a long time, even if citing news or information must state the source.

Everything you ask is banned on this forum, so you should be careful when posting. Sometimes we pursue quality posts in the wrong way, even though the quality of posts is the result of our own thoughts, not from other people. If something as basic as this cannot be understood, it is only right that our credibility as members here is in doubt and the ban is well deserved.

Plagiarism is stealing someone’s work or originality with the intention of owning it like your own. That is a very big offense in the forum and anyone that is caught doing that will be subject for banning permanently.

However, if you copy some lines or phrases or even images and provide reference link in the end, then there’s nothing to worry about as it certainly not fall on plagiarism anymore. But just a simple advice, learn to have your own work or originality. Make your own content, that’s the reason why you need to be knowledgeable on every topic so that you can express everything you need to say without copyrighting from someone else’s work.

That is correct but if you didn't put any reference link or crediting the owner then it is still a plagiarism although a different type of plagiarism called paraphrasing. In this forum, it is still a plagiarism even if the work or idea that you are posting is your own work which is called self-plagiarism which means submitting your own work as your own work. This happened on the forum where a forum member have two accounts which posted the same post although the owner is the same but the other account is banned for plagiarism even though the owner of the account admitted that he owned the banned account. Hope that OP will learn what you are explaining about plagiarism.

[letteredhub]

Let always give credit to whatever credit is due be it words or image if we are not the original owners or author.. For an image putting the source link underneath it  as you would so for copied words won't hurt you so why not quietly do it to avoid drama. If for any reason you can get a link to it, you can make it obvious in words indicating that the image isn't your original work that way people would be clarified while reading your post.

 Let's strive together to prevent plagiarism in the forum in whatever form for only by this can we have and maintain quality content in the forum.
