I have been in this forum for only half a year. I have enjoyed participating in the discussion and sharing my ideas about crypto. At the same time, I have participated in bounties and I noticed that a number of members or even on members using my work and my Bitcointalk credentials for their own bounty submission. I find this very a very unethical thing to do. I believe in honest work and one should not cheat. For that reason, I would like to make a request.
It is considered as cheating and an unethical practise to use someone else's work to participate in any bounty. However if someone is using your username to join a bounty then it cannot be stopped just like that. Some Bounty managers have the "proof of authentication" system to verify its the same person but those who dont have such bounty participants - in which case you cant do anything.
Is there a place that I can make a report against the Bitcointalk members that cheat so that they can be banned from this forum?
You can do two things:
1. Try talking to the bounty manager first with proofs that you are owner and the creator of your original work and someone else it plagiarizing it.
2. If the above does not have any effect, make a thread in "Reputation" about it and wait for DT members to take any action.
