I really don't understand why people still violate this forum rule called Plagiarism which means you will post or use someone else's post, topic, explanation or anything that is not yours but to make it as your own work without giving the credits to the owner. There is only one rule for all of those who don't want to lose earth.

There is only one rule for all of those who don't want to lose earth.

Three major reasons:
- Lazy: account farms' owners don't have time to compose their own posts, especially hundred posts per day.
- Don't have good English skills: They hardly to compose posts with good English, theirs are mostly English-broken, so copy & paste looks like their best choices.
- Don't read forum rules: most of newbies don't read forum rules, then they don't know plagiarism results in permanent bans.

[tbct_mt2]

As I observed, it seems less new ban appeals during last few weeks, but just in case you have intention to use Ctrl C a& Ctrl V, please do remember to leave sources.
Quote should be use if you want to use others ideas published previously in the forum.
Don't plagiarise (copy & pasting, ignoring sources), and be safe!
For more details, please read more in OP.

Great explanation for all newbies and members who still don't know all the rules and regulations.
I see some users doing copy paste their own comments and that it is also considered plagiarism.

You did not read my thread carefully. It has already mentioned in OP.

You can't plagiarise yourself. Copying the same post into another or multiple threads would at worst get you a temp ban if it was deemed spam.

Posters who made multiple posts by copying and pasting their own posts do not obey that rule

12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).

Mate, I did read it
I was just saying nice of you to include this in your tips,
and I am reminding newbies about it yet again

[tbct_mt2]

I edited OP by adding the rule #12 to let people whom have habits of copying and pasting their own posts around (multiple posts with same contents) that they have risks of temp bans by doing that.

I read your thread and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.0 where people have reported for plagiarism. What I could take from all the discussion was that if you read something, understand and write/explain in your own words then it is not plagiarism. All this is when you just copy paste and put zero effort from your end and do not even give credits(mention) the original writer then you are misusing the article and you are punished(banned) for the same.

But, If you are here for knowledge then keep reading and where ever someone wants the knowledge you know just reply that as per your level of understanding. That is what is knowledge sharing right?

There are sites that checks plagiarism. I randomly picked one when I was reading the above thread and checked the reported replies the percentage plagiarism was more that 70-80%. In general one writes an answer on his/her own words then such answers are sometimes matching 30-40% that may be because of the general English sentences.

Is this how the moderators with the plagiarism thread or do they have a effective way to catch the culprits?

[MichaelX]

I think the easiest way is to just write all original posts. No need to copy anything since they can all be referenced.

You may link or quote if something seems nice, and in fact it may be a good idea to quote the relevant text since years later, the original site may disappear and you won't understand what is being talked about.

But if everything, or almost everything you post about is coming from the fingers you tap onto your keyboard straight from your brain, then it is original and nothing will ever be plagiarized.

Just like this.

Plagiarism is a crime and it is not only related to this forum. This is something which is not tolerable. Maybe in some countries you maybe fined or any other punishment if you are found in or violate the copyrights.
What makes me more surprised is that people know that their account will be permanently ban if they are  caught in plagiarism but they still do it. Either they are ignorant or they do think that no one will notice them.

Some users know about that rule but still do it while some users don't know about that rule till the days their accounts banned permanently due to their platgiarism in the past. But they both often appear with ban appeal and ask for forgiveness after deny their plagiarism at start. When proof shown by admin, moderators, forum users, and they are unable to deny their past plagiarism, they will turn into ask for forgiveness and second chance to jump out of grave.

I did not see any single example where a second chance is given for plagiarism here or do u have any such evidence

There are some users who have good net-effects in the forum, were given second chances and jumped out of grave. You can see some of them in OP, and there: [BAN APPEAL]UPDATE: Total table + Ban status (Need feedback from Global mods)
Around more than 14 users unbanned (with or without signature ban). I think there are more than 14 unbanned cases because that topic probably has not real-time updated.

[tbct_mt2]

Once again, I bump it to help you guys understand about the forum rules on plagiarism better.

Days ago, I also saw one user was banned because stealing banner designs of BitVest (Ban appeal is there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5196114.0). I don't know that one will be called as plagiarism or not but at least from that case we know anyone who steal others' stuffs (documents, posts, banners, and more) will be banned when found.

Be careful, stay away from plagiarism, respect forum rules and others' works, just to be safe.

[MichaelX]

Always a good idea to just write all original thoughts, no matter how messed up (or messy) it may look like, at least it is original. You can probably paraphrase an idea, but the point is that unless it is one or two short sentences, don't copy and paste.

[tbct_mt2]

Don't plagiarise. Please read OP to know reasons why you should never plagiarise and know how to avoid plagiarism (someone likely plagiarise without knowledge on forum rules).

It is a bump and will be deleted with my next bump.

I think it is because they do not read the rules and even after read if they are doing than it is arrogance. I think there are rules which on broken there will be a temperory ban but plagiarism is all about stealing others work. Permanent ban is a fair justice.

They neither did read rules after creating their accounts here nor take care of the posts they make (copy & paste, spinned-texts, copy & google translate & paste, and more). They are lazy, don't care about rules, don't care about perma-bans because they believe they will not be caught. When they get caught, they complained about the forum, the rules, and their bans.

[tbct_mt2]

The ban in mid of 2019 went away for a long time ago, but it is worthy to read and avoid permanent bans from your plagiarism. Maybe it is the first time you know about plagiarism and related bans on the forum. It's time to read and stay safe.
