Since he's plagiarizing (which is broke forum rules) he should got banned IMO. I already reported the thread and let we see what will happen next from moderators decision.

In the past there's already a issues like this one before in this thread Another signature campaign with plagiarism but the @OP didn't got banned so far.

It's more appropriate to move this thread on Reputation board.

To be honest, quite a few of bounty threads look similar to each other, those that are new are taking pieces of the older ones, ocassionaly adding a bit of their own etc. That of course doesn't mean that it is ok to copy word for word even something as bounty rules do  without  permission from the person you took content from.

@Small Rabit have you contacted malekcap about this?

[malekcap]

Lol, Copied all content exactly. If this is your original content then how can it be 99% exact match with me. Rules, structures, colors, word size etc. all have similarities. Are you joking?

No I did not have any contact with him. He copied my content.  So he should have taken my permission before copying. He can see someone's content, follow that rule and make a new structure as his own. But I think it's a crime to copy everything someone else's content.

From what I can see, in all texts is the same little mistake about not accepting DT members:

5. DT Trust Account Not Accepted For Bounty Campaign  

No offense  (We all know that there should be info that accounts with negative trust from DT members will not be accepted)

But you have to admit that if what @malekcap says:

i didnt toke copied any content from anyone, all contnent is original from me!

It's amazing that you both made exactly the same stylistic error!  

[zanezane]

This is a pretty tricky situation, both parties does not want to give in. Is there other contents that are being plagiarized? If the only thing copied is the rules of the campaign then what seems to be the problem? Honestly, I don't see any problem that they are copying the rules of the campaign, shouldn't it be better that all campaigns follow the same guidelines in the first place so the possibility of brain drain for bounty hunters when it comes to bounty campaigns is zero to nothing. This is just my opinion though, maybe next time try to do a little courtesy and at least ask for permission if you are to copy something or get an inspiration.

[bakasabo]

Issue is not with copied rules of the campaign (they are almost identical in every bounty campaign), but with the design of a bounty topic. This can be solved easily - just check who was the first to use that way of posting bounty topic first. I might be wrong, but perhaps I've seen similar bounty topic design, which Small Rabbit calls to be original.

The bigger issue is the possibility to join and promote scam projects, or invest in them.

For example, bounty hunter has participated in Small Rabbit campaigns previously and had a good experience with them. He sees malekcap bounty topic, remembers that he has seen something similar and joins the campaign, spends time doing tasks. In worse case buying projects altcoins. They the project scams and hunters loses money.

(This is just an example. In same situation malekcap could be the reputed bounty manager and Small Rabbit could be a copycat).

This is like creating myetherwallet.org (fake) where there is myehterwallet.com.

Update:

Small Rabbit used bounty topic design first on October 20, 2020 in bounty [BOUNTY][▪LIVE] AMEPAY |Simple & Elegant Payments system |, but malekcap December 7, 2020 in [BOUNTY] 🔥 SOFTBLC The first low-cost online casino development platform

First, you can answer to all other mention in one single post. No need to post several times in the row. You should know some basic rules of conduct here.
do you really think people are blind so they can't compare these threads? You can prove that is your original work if you can point us to your older thread than @Small Rabbit with the same content.

For example, here is a translation error made by Small Rabbit

6. DT Trust Account Not Accepted For Bounty Campaign   

and yours

6. DT Trust Account Not Accepted For Bounty Campaign  

Can you explain, why is DT members are not allowed to participate in your campaigns?

[bakasabo]

Have you guys talked to each other and found a solution? It will be sad to find out one that that forum plagiarism algorithm banned on of you. Or someone gets red tagged for that. That might impact on your further work and reputation. I advice malekcap at least to add "bounty topic design developed by Small Rabbit" to his topic post at least. 

[Rikafip]

It's not that you just copied rules, you even copied an obvious mistake (the one about not allowing DT members to join bounty campaign). Instead of admitting what you did and asking Small Rabbit is it ok to use what they wrote, you went even further and deny what's obvious to everyone.

I personally wouldn't join a bounty campaign led by someone like you and if you keep like that you will end up tagged.

This is like creating myetherwallet.org (fake) where there is myehterwallet.com.

What he did was simply due laziness (not a trait you wanna see in bounty manager) but I wouldn't go that far and compare copying bounty rules with pretending that he is someone else. It would be a different thing if he pretends that he is alt of Small Rabbit or something along those lines. For example, something like this user did, pretending that his bounty campaign is part of one known bounty team in order attract more bounty hunters.

This guy copied every single word from original bounty topics and just changed the name of project he is using for his bounty and this is not acceptable.
All other managers are using similar templates for their topics but they use their own words and modify content.

There is no creativity at all all the content is copied and just changing the name of the company is a foolish thing does he not think of unique content or at least don't do a copy of all?
Is this really against community rules? or in each bounty manager must have its own criteria in making bounty threads so that there is no similarity maybe this will divide.

[FatFork]

Yeah of course, this is a clear case of plagiarism. It's one thing to plagiarize a bit of content in your article or forum post, but quite another story when it comes to copying almost complete content, content formatting, styles and even using the same colors. In fact, he even copied completely identical content errors from the original author.

It doesn't do justice to the author to ignore the original work. At the very least, he should admit that it was a mistake (even if it wasn't intentional, which I doubt).

Most bounty manager do just that, check out other managers template and re-use pieces for their own purpose.
It's been done like a million times by now. Should i report everyone who has the same stuff as me? No. Because most of the bounties are just that, reused material.

I even know cases where they used my screenshots. So what? There's only so many ways you can make campaign rules, and most of BM's have similar if not same rules.

Um, that's a very strange attitude for a bounty manager. Tell me then, where do you draw the line between 'reused material' and the theft of someone else's intellectual property? This is not just about campaign rules, it is obvious that content formatting and styles have been copied as well.
If someone is too lazy or incapable to make their own template for bounty campaigns, I can only imagine how they're going to run their campaigns. Do we really want to encourage such 'managers?'

At the very least, common courtesy would be asking for permission first. But I guess everybody has a right to their own view.

[btcltcdigger]

It may be strange attitude to you, but I've learned to live with it. Yes, common curtesy would be good, but 99% of online users lack it.

Besides, i doubt the OP wrote his bounty thread without looking how other BM's did it before him.

Are you saying that changing of styling would make it better? If i copied it and changed the font to red, would that be ok? No, i dont think it would.

[ranman09]

I feel this is a bit hard to justify from the plagiarized side, as the fonts and mistakes are the same. But I would agree that in most cases bounties has the same rules and regulations, and also details about them.

Is there rules or pointers on plagiarism in this forum? I think there should be.

No, I don't think changing the font would fix the thing. I just pointed out that this is a rather obvious copy-paste case.
I agree that the OP probably took 'inspiration' from someone else's work, maybe even copied bits and peaces, but that's not the point here. Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's okay.

There are no official instructions, but tbct_mt2 wrote some good pointers:

[TIPS] to avoid plagiarism

And as for the rules, things are pretty clear:

• Plagiarism: If you copy some text from somewhere, then you should have a good reason for it, and you must link to the source. Doing otherwise is plagiarism. Changing a few words around doesn't matter. If we find that you plagiarized, then you absolutely will be permanently banned, even if we find it years after you did it.
