The user "amonymous" stealing other's works (Plagiarism)

[The Cryptovator]

amonymous was a part one of my Twitter campaign recently. During count posts, I have found this user plagiarized post content from MAAManda and submit the report as his own tweets.

Here are applications:

Twitter profile: https://twitter.com/MAAManda_CB

Twitter profile: https://twitter.com/amonymousreal

Here is original tweet from MAAManda: https://archive.is/7XIr2#selection-2967.0-2987.88 (Date: 7:05 AM - 22 Apr 2021)
This is Plagiarized by amonymous: https://archive.is/jqZzF#selection-2969.0-2989.88 (Date: 9:00 AM - 24 Apr 2021)

Although there were no rules about plagiarism (I have added new ones) but there were existing rules about the unique tweet. And that guy stealing other works and trying to get payments. For me, this is a kind of cheating getting payments without works just steal other works. I am posting here since this off-forum plagiarism-related campaign manages by me.

I am tagging that account since he tried to cheat in my campaign. Copy-paste other's work and submit report simply means he claimed the content was made by him.

looks like user: @amonymous, it's become a habit to copy other people's tweets / Retweet, to get paid from the campaign manager.

This may have been the umpteenth time he has done in the Twitter campaign, I saw the same incident also happened to the campaign managed by: @taki183.

Example:click

Dear participant, do not make your post via copypasting project posts! It will not count. Try to make post by yourself!

suggestion:
However, neutral seems a good fit for such an account, but it's up to you to judge red, because it happens in your campaign.

Didn't Twitter become a multi billion dollar company from people re-copying each other's useless short posts? It's one of the reasons I don't like the site.

I am not a big fan of Twitter, just a few days back I created an account there but still don't have many followers. Doesn't matter if everyone copy-paste each other post nor we can prevent them. But copying other's posts then claim his own to get pay isn't a wise decision IMO. Since that happens my campaign so I can bother here. Companies not paying just for copy-paste other's content. Whatever pay rates they were agreed on it. Plagiarism isn't a good habit at all.

Not now, perhaps in future turn it to neutral once he realize his mistakes and learn from the mistake.

I have doubt that this becomes a habit of this user @amonymous, just simple copy-paste other works just to get paid.  Upon looking into the user's posts history was full of twitter bounty reports and it might this user doing this from those previous bounty campaigns.  It might this was his bogus on every social media campaign he joined.  Being lazy like this isn't deserve to get paid.

Presumably, this user thought that doing this on Twitter is okay since in your campaign thread there are no such rules.  But stealing other works or idea isn't really good and yeah, deserved to have a negative tag for being laziness to get paid in campaign, it seems cheating in your campaign.

Plagiarism should already be an offense itself knowing that taking credit for someone else's work. Passing stuff as your own without any correct procedure being done to just "reference" the actual context is wrong.

In addition, tweets are easily constructed if done correctly. It's not that hard to describe something that you work on about.

That's most of it for sure but at least once you are retweeting someone, it shows the original tweet. Unlike plagiarisms though.

If you are referring to the "retweet" feature then it might interest you to know that "retweets" attribute the original poster of the tweet, so there isn't any confusion as to whether or not a person has made the post, or copied it (unless of course the second person copies the text of the first and does not attribute - that probably counts as plagiarism unless the context goes along the lines of "I read a tweet that said..."

I would add to your negative tag that this owner is not the original owner. Therefore, he is engaged not only in stealing other people's posts but dishonoring the name of the one who was the first in this account.
It is very funny to read the posts of the one who bought or stole this account, where it is written that he received his first earnings from bitcoin faucets, at a time when the true owner was organizing successful bitcoin conferences in Amsterdam.
Advice to all "liars" who bought or stole forum accounts: Sometimes it is useful to read the account history!
Well, it doesn't add up to a puzzle to turn into a bounty hunter after such conferences, years later?
I think the negative tag should stay forever.

I'm happy to answer any questions, and if you'd like to speak at the conference, buy an exhibitor booth, or participate in any other way, just drop me an email. My name's Moe Levin, email is moe@btcmiami.com

IMO you can just stick the account with a permanent red tag as even though there is no plagiarism violation being written in your rules it is already implied on when you said that tweets needed should be "unique". He clearly wants to be paid for just copy/pasting the words of others which doesn't really take any effort to do so bottomline is he wants to be paid even though he didn't follow your rules correctly.

I think all social media sites have a problem with regards to plagiarism not only through words but also pictures and videos where people take it and monetized from it or at least have likes likes and favorites for it. All social media websites are like this and they only take action on any copyright infringement and plagiarism issue is when someone reports it but they don't have any kind of screening process before the accounts can even upload the content.

Based on the current situation, I think so. I am pretty sure the account has changed hands somehow either bought or hacked. Currently, that account has just been using for bounty spam. It wasn't matter until he caught stealing other works. Somehow it proves that users familiar with steal others thing, it would be account as well. So, most likely I am not gonna remove negative feedback from that profile. Also, we can't see any explanation from "amonymous" but I believe there wouldn't be a valid explanation.

I have found this user plagiarized post content from MAAManda and submit the report as his own tweets.

I wonder why a nonsense user like him has nearly 7,000 followers. It's a huge followers for a guy who is nobody, a guy who cheats to make money? If the community really follows people like him, what future does the projects grow there? Is Twitter really good for growth? Also, there is another idea, maybe that number of followers was created (through social services), not that he received it. Maybe?

[LoyceV]

Bounty spammers all follow other bounty spammers so they can all pretend to have many followers.
From my experience, 99% of all bounty spammers are not what I would call "real users". They probably have many accounts so they can follow their own accounts too, and since their followers aren't real users either, their "advertising" is utterly useless.
But that doesn't even matter, as most of the spam is being paid with made-up tokens anyway. Coolcryptovator's campaign is an exception to that rule.

[ChuckBuck]

They probably have many accounts so they can follow their own accounts too, and since their followers aren't real users either, their "advertising" is utterly useless.

Following each other sounds difficult to get 7,000 followers, it must be the virtual number of followers generated by certain services. I think campaigns need tools to test real followers. But, even after testing, a large following are not crypto enthusiasts, it's hard to have a promotional effect. Is it your idea? But skimming through most of the new projects on this forum, Twitter is an indispensable development campaign for them. If it was me, I would choose to promote on forums specializing in cryptocurrency, or crypto groups, rather than individuals on social media.

Anyway, sorry Coolcryptovator if I take topic in the other direction

It’s simple. Provably the followers brought. I heard somewhere that people can buy more than 5k followers with 2-5$. but I am not sure how many followers are real there.

On the other hand they could come from some website where there is a service like follow me back. So if I follow someone they will also follow me. I forget the site name what I had tried during newbies. But in this case most of the followers are real.

[The Cryptovator]

I am not wrong then most likely you are talking about Twiends. That's what I have found from where you would get real followers, doesn't matter either they are crypto users or not.

Back to the @ChuckBuck question, we know all the social media campaigns in the forum consider just spam and not much effective as well. But we are helpless here since the company needs it. If I ignore then no doubt another manager will take over the social campaign. For me, I always prefer to run a signature campaign on the forum since we know all users here are somehow related to crypto-currency. But a few companies need branding outside the forum as well.

Doesn't matter how they collect follower. Seems most of the manager use Twitter Audit to verify real users. It wasn't a real matter here. The matter is that the user tried to cheat on my campaign and I believe he did the same on other campaigns as well. That's the reason I raised this thread.

Yes, You are right. This is the site what I used during newcomer here.

The plagiarism case that you find in the Twitter campaign may not be the first to be discovered from bounty hunter because in my opinion there are many other account doing the same thing, but not many managers have caught it. If amonymous brave enough to do it with a "full member" account so there are many other newbie  who can do it too. I want to know if there is a way to find plagiarism on twitter that the bounty hunter reported to get paid, because so far I only know it can be done manually by checking one by one?

It is likely that Coolcryptovator is doing its job in good faith, and carefully checks all the tweets of the company's members. And this proves that he noticed the theft of other people's tweets. Some unscrupulous participants in bounty companies hoped that their deception would not be noticed. And it may not be the first campaign to steal tweets from.
I doubt that it is possible to check for plagiarism automatically because in the social network itself it happens regularly. Therefore, it all depends on the diligent work of the manager.
I think this topic is a good example for all bounty hunters who hope to participate in rewards through deception.

ah sh*t, how can it be nonsense  It's like a worm in the crypto industry, one worm can ruin many projects.

Back to the @ChuckBuck question,

Oh no, sorry if I make you feel that I am criticizing you. My questions are not directed to you, I am just wondering what might happen. You are hired by projects and you just need to make sure that no one is cheating on your campaign. If you don't do this, there will be others hired, obviously, this is the project's problem, not your problem. I greatly appreciate your discovery here.

Yes, You are right. This is the site what I used during newcomer here.

I participated in similar services many years ago. It's for real followers, but they're not a crypto enthusiast, and certainly no interaction with each other.

Besides the fact that people just parroting other people's Tweets, Twitter is a special kind of evil that is breeding ground for special snowflakes, second-wave feminists, people who find reasons to get offended and general toxic people. If I were to be the authority regarding the plagiarism, I would probably give the accused a chance to do the right thing but if they weren't to comply thne they will have to face the consequences.
