For ALL BLOG POSTERS...Warning needs to be posted for you to beware... Apparently, I was notified of this by another one of my blog watchers that there is a member that is purposely plagiarizing people's blog posts word for word. So I went to see, and sure enough, the guy took one of my posts and copied the entire thing...word for word. Needless to say I was fairly pissed off about it. When the blog poster was confronted about this by one of my blog watchers, because he had copied one of her blogs as well, he blatantly said "I don't really care, I'm just doing it to get points earned so I can skirt around the issue and be able to view other people's profiles or view stuff here." In short, he plagiarized/stole my post in order to get points. Both I and the other person he stole that person's blog posts have reported him to NoStrings, but needless to say, I don't know if there is anything that can be done about it. The guy is a grade A douchebag who lives in the UK and doesn't care about stealing other people's posts just so he can get points. What sucks more is the fact that the asswipe doesn't even care about blatantly stealing other people's stuff. And because of the TOS, while I can report him, I cannot name the guy and publicly shame the guy for doing so, because that would be harassment. Which is bullshit. So I hate to say it folks...for the blog posters out there, you're going to have to watch out because this guy is going around stealing people's posts and unless NoStrings does something about him, chances are, he may steal one of your posts as well. To me, the worst thing you can do to a writer is steal someone's work. And I know some of you are like "Why even care? Him stealing your post is a form of flattery! You should be honored!" NO. You don't steal someone's hard earned work, and then claim it for your own and then say I did it. If that was the case, I could go to his work, take his paycheck and say "Hey you worked for it, but I'll take your pay since I'm a dick and I don't care." Ok I know that's not the greatest analogy, but stealing is wrong. You don't steal from others. Songwriters have to pay if they use a hook or lyric from another song. And I could see if you took some of the topic idea and then reworded it for your own, that might not be stealing. But to take a person's writings and use it, word for word? Gee, if I did that from J.R.R. Tolkien's books and instead of calling it The HOBBIT, and stole his entire book word for word and just titled it, "I'm stealing this blogpost because I need the points on NoStrings", how is that fair to me? Or to anyone else I steal from? It's not! The point being, if you are going to use a particular topic from someone here, ask permission first before you take it from them. And sure as hell do not just copy it word for word and use it and say you wrote it without quoting where you took it from and before you even do it, you ask the person first to see if they will allow you to take it from you. So have a scrotum and don't steal blog posts from others. Have some balls and write your own stuff. Unless you want people to think either you are lazy as shit or you just don't have a single brain cell in that giant goofy looking melon you call a head. Who can you call on to save the day? Why none other than... Agent  |
