Is an honor to have you here in my blog, I Hope you are doing fine. I have successfully completed my achievement 2 and it's time to pay attention to the third achievement post which is about content protocol.

Bringing the two words together, content Protocol means the rules or acceptable style of writing a well detailed content without fault. On steemit, every Steemian is expected to write original quality contents and post after undergoing mentorship by various cordinators.

The originality of content by steem users is highly recommended and appreciated on #steemit. The platform warns against plagiarism because it is against the standard of writing and #steemit

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM
The word, plagiarism, in ordinary man understanding means to copy, paste and then establish the ideas of another person.
"The merriam webster dictionary traces the etymology of plagiarism to it's Latin roots where it conveys the idea of a person who kidnapped words" The merriam webster

Plagiarism is legally not accepted in academics and also on #steemit. A student or steemian is always encouraged in schools and on steem to be original with their content and also try to state the source of their work in case there is any trace of copy and paste. In this way, one can correctly acknowledge the original writer of there idea just the way I did in my definition of PLAGIARISM by "The Merriam Webster"

Types of plagiarism

Global Plagiarism:
In global Plagiarism, the person commiting plagiarism has coped another person's entire work and has presented it as if it was his.

Paraphrasing Plagiarism:
In Paraphrasing Plagiarism, the crime is committed when a person picked another person's work and makes adjustments in the wordings of the text.

Self Plagiarism:
Here the person commiting this crime is presenting his own work more than once. The closest thing to this on steemit is posting one article in more than one community, or reposting one's old post after some time.

Mosaic Plagiarism:
This form of Plagiarism is an abuse of research. The plagiarist here compiles materials from different authors into a material he clams to be his without making any true contribution of his own

THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF STEEMIT

When a steemian is found guilty of plagiarism, he or she faces the following consequences;

•Downvote: this means a plagiarised post on steemit will not be voted by steem members.

•Non-participation: If one is found to be practicing plagiarism, he may be banned from participating from contest in a community.

How to avoid plagiarism

Write on topics you are familiar with.

Make good use of quotation marks

If you paraphrase a person's work, give the person some credit by pointing that out. An example is in my definition of Plagiarism as paraphrased from Merriam Webster's dictionary

declaration

"I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them"
