How A Steemian's Reputation Was Stripped By SteemCleaners
Xerox was invented to copy a document or paper and can be disseminated it without having the trouble to give attribute to the owner of the paper. Once it xeroxed, that's it! Everything is fine and normal as it was before. But how about a person copying an article even if it is yours or you have just copied it from the other site. Will there be a consequence after you copied it and paste in into your article? Plagiarism is like xerox, problem is, xerox is a machine and can't be prosecuted about its action, because its function is only to be copied the document or paper without letting know of the owner of the article (the person who will use it should have asked a consent to xerox his/her article), that's the function of xerox, nothing more, nothing less.The person who copied it like xerox is culpable of his action, because he is very aware who the writer or the publisher of that particular article. That's why be careful with your judgement, once you made the fatal decision to copy your own or others without giving a consent to the person who you want to copy or who created it without reference(s) or source(s) you are in deep trouble for sure!
Now, since Steemit has its own sweeping tools for those who are absurd by doing things which is not good in the first place. Follow a simple rule and we will not be in trouble. There are tons of subject, topic to write. Just follow your instinct, let your creative juices do the talking (in your head), it will give a boost to your mood when you do a little exercise like walking, talking to a friend, not gossiping, to set a mood. Maybe two minutes or so, you'll be surprised how brain works.
There's nothing harm done when we follow rules, it means that we have an understanding how this site works. As a matter of fact, since we all write here. We know this very simple rules that we need not an expert or a senior writer to understand it! Just keep on writing THE RIGHT WAY, have it properly recognize who wrote the article, or lifting an excerpt from the book, you'll be in good vibes!

This is so informative article and this will give us awareness and caution on copy and paste thing, plagiarism, and etc. We must think twice before we post or better to do original work and avoid copying from the work of others.
In this way, we will learn also on how to do articles with our own way and enhance our vocabularies. If we are not good in english and are not sure with our grammar - no problem we can use freely the "grammarly" to check our articles and it gives also suggestions on what word suits in the sentence.
Let us now learn do our original work to avoid problems. Thanks @iwrite for sharing this and gives awareness to everbody.
That's why we really need to create our own and yes at same time enhance our vocabularies. I'm not an English writer, I write in Filipino and still trying hard to write in English. Lol!
thanks for letting them know this sir @iwrite :)
You are most welcome sir juls!
Thanks for this @iwrite
I have a couple of comments.
First, I never thought to put an attribution to my own photos in my posts. I will consider doing that from now.
Secondly, for many years I was a trainer and produced material for management system courses. In many ways what I taught was just re-stating what was already available from literature study and research. Always with sources attributed though.
I also drew a distinction between the education part and the training part in courses. What I was doing in-course was developing skills not knowledge. And when delegates asked "What if someone copies your notes?" I would tell them that the knowledge is freely available if they want it. How to use the knowledge is not so easy to acquire.
My third note is that development is generally based on pre-existing knowledge and practice. Although there are places for blue-sky thinking that is generally rare. We build on what has gone before.
As Isaac Newton said in 1675: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
Feels like i am back in high school when my english teacher reminds us not to plagiarize the works of others lol. Copying the works of others have been so prevalent in this day and age most people assume that doing it is okay. Credit must be given where credit is due. Mechanism like this instill discipline to steemians most specially new ones. I just hope there aren't any false positives issues in those steemcleaners tools sometimes the worst feeling is being falsely accused of doing something you didn't do.
People who plagiarize works of others must face their consequences. This post will serves as warning for individuals who copy paste and plagiarize works
