Comments on WHY ISN'T THE BLOGIT "POLICE" GETTING INVOLVED IN PLAGIARIST QUESTIONS?

Go to Ariala's Crapola Blog - Add a comment - Go to WHY ISN'T THE BLOGIT "POLICE" GETTING INVOLVED IN PLAGIARIST QUESTIONS?

Glad to help!

We've worked hard to put a lot of information into the Help pages. So I hope y'all will use that information. And if something's missing, let us know. We plan to continue adding stuff to them.

Thanks.

Brian, Blogit Team

Maybe you should post a question his way regarding the definition of "mature" content.  Wear something sheer, too.

So, if I understnad the intricacies of this subject correctly, it was pretty much a way to get some contact with Brian, yes?

I agree missy...

This IS a site for writers and writing.  Plagiarism is the worst plague to hit a place like this.  I detest a word thief.  If you can't come up with your own work, and if you can't use CREDITED quotes and snippets creatively within your own work; you shouldn't be writing.  Period.  There's no call for or justification for stealing the writing of another author.  That's my spew on the subject.

I think anyone discovered copying and pasting from other websites

without giving proper credit should be called out by their blogging peers and then made to feel like moron when they go about demanding apologies from everyone who confronted them.

Brian, Blogit Staff...

This linked info is helpful if MY content is stolen by another blogger.  What is done for these cases when a blogger is found to be copying work from other sources, outside of Blogit, and posting here as their own??  That's a bit different than seeing MY work being copied.  I doubt anyone would copy my crapola, but if they did...I pity the fool!!  BTW, good post Ariala!!

Write On!  ltlmac70 wuz here...

Brian, thanks for answering, however, there is still a lot of confusion

with a particular blogger currently.  The items listed on HELP do not go into the specifics.  At least, not from what I can see.

This is addressed in the Help pages

This is already addressed in the Help pages under Reporting Copyright Infringement.
