The goal is to shed light on the members of the community who are showing undeniable signs of lameness. This could be in the form of plagiarism, scamming, or a handful of other things which might fall under the heading of "being a general lame brain".
This is a delicate process and something which can quite easily be up for debate so the main focus will be on plagiarists and those who continue to display a lack of "Proof of Brain".
It would be cool to get the communities support and an understanding that this account is merely a vessel for shining some light on bad actors within POB not something that will be used to attack or bully anyone for untoward reasons.
The account will be following along to @vempromundo.pob's curation trail as a way to "market" the account to other members of the community.
The upvotes from this account in no way mean that you have a lame brain. The downvotes might though.
Plagiarist posts will be reblogged to the account to show those who are stealing from others. Members of the community can do what they like with the information. Harassment and targeted attacks are unacceptable.
Don't end up on the Wall of Lame.
Posts may be created directly from the account showing that plagiarists have adjusted their methods and are on the path to using their brains productively.
Posts may be created to show the actions of members in the community who exhibit questionable behaviors which may be classed as lame.
Drop @proofoflame in a comment on any content which you suspect is plagiarism/scamming. If you suspect other forms of lame behavior, drop a mention but don't expect a response.
All rewards will be powered up to help with downvoting plagiarised content.
Good initiative given the growth of the tribe and some of the recent actions by some active members. I thought there was a plagiarism checking bot on Hive but I could be remembering wrongly... Haven't seen it active for a while.
It is not on Hive but I know a few people are using this. https://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/
I have found 1 or 2 with this.
Thanks for sharing this. Definitely looks good for checking on individual posts!
Got me searching and looks like there isn't a free open source project for plagiarism checks. They're pretty affordable for a commercial enterprise ~$600 for 10,000 articles.
With the growth of the tribe, this kind of project is a good ideia to keep things in check.
I just hope that it's used for the good cause. With great power comes great responsibilities, as PP uncle said once!
Kudos in the initiative! Flame on!
Yes, i also read that on the first time.... hehehe
Ooh... this could get spicy! And you know what they say: spice is the variety of life... wait, strike that and reverse it. I can't wait to see where this goes. I approve (until I suddenly disapprove)! ;)
P.O.L. I love it!!
Lame Brains unite, but it won't matter, AXEY
Will chop you Down!!! 😋
NOOOO, brah that ain't my job but lol
@underground lol, your sense of humor is always warped but funny O.o
You should meet me in person!!
Love to see you amd your toi-boi someday...
haha he's built like a pro wrestler, not much of a boytoy, more like a Russian tsunamie!!!!
I like how proof of flame runs together to make proof of flame.
Just noticed that as well, lol. Quite the irony isn't it. Hopefully, there isn't too much flaming because of it, it looks like a good way to highlight blatant abuse, etc.
@proofoflame
LOL Kidding... you just confused me is all. It's "proof of lame", right?
I'm glad you made proofoflame account. We used to have the chetah and I loved that guy. It was always a good reminder. Anyway proof of flame was a joke... but that's the first thing I read when I saw those words together.
Can we bring @cheetah back?
Maybe make her an honorary member of the POB tribe?
She was automated, so let her do the 'bot' part and let @proofoflame do the 'brain' part.
Together they can be #proof-of-lame-brain.
I don't know who operated that bot, but I would love to see her and it would make @proofoflame's job a little easier.

Operated by @anyx.
Wow. That's an interesting Hive user.
Hope to see this used in a productive way and not as a way to target any individuals specifically. Policing to some extent is necessary on the chain, but it can easily get out of hand if not managed correctly.
I'm going to write a post today about a conversation I had recently with someone and I think it relates closely to this.
Thank you for following the trail, whenever you feel necessary you can mark me in any publication
In theory, this is good.
But, let's see how this will turn out in practice.
nice name!
@proofoflame
I like it on Hive, everyone can work on anything.
At some point we will see everything expand and grow.
I think some Tribes Like POB will have a nice future.
Can you imagine things in 4 years? i cant :D
I'm all for this.
overvalued. No one asked for this. I do not agree with your initiative.

Here is one, perhaps you can get an answer to why the 'premier' plagiarism fighters are voting on it.
I haven't gotten one, yet.
