4. ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM: Accidental plagiarism occurs when a person neglects to cite their sources, or misquotes their sources, or unintentionally paraphrases a source by using similar words, groups of words and/or sentence structure without attribution".

1. This is to say plagiarism done intentionally is unethical, unprofessional, academically dishonest, ground for disciplinary actions, therefore one must learn how to cite their sources and to take careful and accurate notes when doing research and posting.

2. Post may likely delay for approval or ignored.

3. Your standard of education seems low and as such describe you as thief.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

---

From my research on plagiarism and mostly experience read on Steemit Community, I am vividly draw conclusion that content Etiquette or plagiarism is rule and regulations a researcher must adopt intentionally to avoid unnecessary punishment or an action that may decay his/her copyright and time wasted. It is most pertinent for every post copied, either by words, imagery, photos, trade marking, etc to have citation or source.
