when you copy another person work without proper citation and present its as your work such act is called PLAGIARISM. We have different type of plagiarism which involve:direct,mosaic,accidental and self plagiarism.

Direct plagiarism

This is when one used another person work and present its directly as his/her own idea without proper citation to the owner or you can see its as when one take another person work as his own without the original owner idea.

Mosaic plagiarism

This is when a person copy phrases from a source without using quotation marks "source".

• Don't bribe people for votes,resteems,follow or ask dirrctly for money.
  This involve not asking any person in the community for vote,you should allow your good post do the work for you.

• Don't expect reciprocal votes
  The act of vote me i vote you,should not be among you.

*Don't post unrelated link in comment.
