This post is standing as a polite warning to all content creators around this community. The rate of plagiarized content is becoming too much in the entire steemit commuinty, and so far there has been some measures of steemians fighting against this actitude.

I believe all steemians that passed throught the Achievement Program in the Newcomers Community must have come across the Achievement 3 task : Steemit Content Etiquette. This task is all about Plagiarism and its effects.

If you don't about what plagiarism is all about, then i will talk about it briefly:

Plagiarism in a simple term, Is when you copy another person's work without leting them know. It is as simple as this! Don't in engage in copying another person's work.

If by any reason, you're are copying another person's work, then you must give a reference of where you copied it, this is to notify that you copied that very line of paragraph/content.
