DECEPTION CASE: Mass PLAGIARISM user @mka
Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,
It was already much said about Plagiarism and slowly everyone should understand that copying something from Media and presenting as the product of his own work is deceiving people.
As you all know we do a lot of curation, predominantly in “World of Xpilar” community, even though, we often see such cases within our community, that only can mean that there are many other all around Steemit.
We need to be cautious and not by mistake to upvote such posts.
This post attracted my attention today. The post is about Volcano eruption on one of the fantastic place - Iceland. There is a spectacular photo of the helicopter flying around fire throwing Volcano. Because there are few users in our community from Iceland I thought that might be their friends now posting and that was a reason why I decided to stop there.
First I read the article and found that it is written in very good English, professional way, perfect grammar. Who from us normal users writing in such style, none. Because Steemit is blogging, there are always minor mistakes and while writing we just talking to each other in a simple language.
My next step was to search the article for Plagiarism and it was easily found:
But under the posts already two comments from users who really think that this is the use created himself
The next step to check his next post:
Just looking at his previous posts 11 months ago he was already caught by @travelfeed for Plagiarism and that was a reason why he stopped posting till now.
Such users, of course, will be blacklisted and banned from our community but what is with the Steemit.
@steemcurator01, is there any way that such Mass Plagiarism user could be marked or blacklisted.
The Steemit Team announced in the past that they are against plagiarism but what can be practically done?
Im glad you caught this. People will always try to make a profit off the backs of others. Id rather someone post a selfie or anything that is a glimpse into their own lives.
People are accustomed to stealing other people's work and post them in mainstream social media to create positive impressions. They should understand that here we are getting paid for our posts and we should not use other people's work because it is completely dishonest.
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo amigo @skywaystelios
It is a bad reputation for Steem and Steemit if some of hte established professionals or publisher will see plagiarism and that it is tolerated here. We all want a good reputation for Crypto currencies but that is just ruin it
Have a wonderful day! 😊
Thank you :)
Desgraciadamente hay más de una cuenta así amiga, yo he visto alguna que siempre publica contenido sin interés y le pagan entre 25 y 30$ siempre de las mismas cuentas.
Pero no sabemos qué hacer ni si hay alguien que pueda hacer algo legalmente.
Saludos @stef1
Do you think that such accounts are also using plagiarism and getting high upvotes? Are they in our community?
No sé si plagia, pero los post que escribe solo son copia/pega de productos de Amazon y las cuentas que le votan son exactamente las mismas en todos los post.
Está es la cuenta y mira sus pagos.
This user showing the information from amazon, he is putting the link to the page, he is not claiming that this is his information. That is allowed. As to the high payment: @nutbox.mine is almost the same like booster, so you pay and you buy upvote. He spends his investment to buy an upvote via nubox. Again that is not illegal Anyone can do that there is more information by Nutbox site.
Muchas gracias por la información @stef1 pensaba que estaba haciendo fraude pero me doy cuenta de que no. Siento haberte hecho perder el tiempo, me alegra seguir aprendiendo en la plataforma. Una vez mas gracias y lo siento.
At least this account's posts make very little.
That is true, but I thought that this is maybe something that the account holder is testing before starting up.
hola , el plagio es de mal gusto el tomar el trabajo de otro. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo de sancionar a esas personas. te seguiré y espero de ti también me puedas seguir.
I just find it difficult to understand why people do plagiarize. It's just so annoying.
Good reminder. I will look out for it.
Buen día, problemática de nunca acabar, por suerte lograste notarlo esta vez y generaste el aporte necesario para detenerlo. Hay personas que no comprenden el daño que nos hacen a todos al usar estas prácticas dentro de la plataforma; ojo no quiero decir con esto que fuera esté bien.
Gracias por su aporte oportuno.
