The other day,I was browsing through previously featured blogs.I ran across a website tutorial.Being a website designer myself,I enjoyed it,so I decided to read more of his blogs.Then,I came across a tutorial that seemed familiar to me.Out of curiousity,I highlighted the text,then googled it.The text came up the exact same for several different websites.I googled the rest of his blogs,and each time he had copied and pasted his blogs.He had copied someone else's work.Another term for this is plagiarism,which is illegal.I continued on with my blog browsing,when I realized,more people could be doing this,and not only with tutorials,but with reviews,poems,and maybe even stories.That's why I ask the Blogmins,that before accepting a blog that could have been copied from a different website,to highlight the text and search it,to see if it was copied.In my opinion,it would help make DSiPaint a better place.Thank you.
I catch several plagiarized works each week and know that Haruspex catches them, as well. It's tough to get them all. Be sure to let someone know if you catch such a blog. I'd say to message me, but I'm backlogged about 400 messages. If you make it really stand out like having the word "Plagiarism" in the title, I'll catch it and take care of the problem.
If they do plagiarism,they should be banned from blogs too because they commited a felony and illegal crime. Unless they give they're source. But even though, they should use their own words.
