I've never had a real job and I honestly don't plan on getting one. For the last one hour I think, I just experienced just what Working is like, mann, it's damn stressful, but when it's for a good cause, it's always worth it.
OK, while scrolling through leofinance.io interface in search of articles to read and leave a comment. I stumbled on an article from a newbie, I was really excited to read through it and support it with an upvote, a comment, and a reblog perhaps. On opening the article, I found it really long, damn I was impressed at first even before reading it. It was damn 10 mind read and I just didn't know if to read from the top or the bottom, lol. Suddenly I noticed something weird, the article had no images and for an article so long, you'd wonder why a writer wouldn't add images to make it much presentable. It all seemed fishy so I immediately copied the link and logged into my Smallseotools, I dropped it on a plagiarism checker, and guess what? It was 98% plagiarized! The 2% unique is probably his name.
Here's the link to the post.
https://leofinance.io/@ahmedkhan1723/10-best-cryptocurrencies-to-invest-in-for-2021
I left a comment for him with a link to the site the article was stolen from. I also had to do some background check up and I discovered all his articles are stolen, on each of them I also left an identical comment with the link to source stolen from.
So this is a random internet image where a girl looks all bad, and I finna borrow this and add to my new "plagiarism spotted" comment from now on. This image will be attach to a certain comment that will only be pasted on plagiarized contents on leofinance.io from today. Each time I spot a plagiarized content, I'll leave this behind, and I'd like to know which of the community members I can mention in my comments so that these set of people can be taken care of, but of course in a sweet manner 😉
Here's something else I also discovered along the line, @ahmedkhan1723 of whom plagiarized today with over 5 posts published in one day, is only following one person who also follows him and that person is @thefoodlords. Why am I bringing this up? Well they say show me your friend and I'll tell you who you are, so when I head over to his blog, I noticed something similar to @ahmedkhan1723, I ran a plagiarism check on two posts from him too, both were stolen!
Here's one of which @onealfa.leo may have unknownly Curated as a support to a newbie.
It's likely the same person here or maybe just another friend in the game...
People say I meddle in what ain't my business, but lol I do what I do because am a badbitch! I won't watch the bad ones milk rewards from the system, it's just not fair for the Unique users putting in time and hard work to present perfection.
So without any more words, watch out for Leofinance Plagiarism Watcher

Congratulations on your promotion :-) Something I do wonder, since hive accounts are anonymous how can you check if the original author isn't re-posting his own work but with his anonymous account..
Just curious how that works and how one would go about to prevent a false positive flag. Good luck with your new found job!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If he owns the article he could have placed a complaint, but he clearly isn't the original author, so there's no two words about it.
Plus the articles he publishes are from different websites and different authors!
Yeah, I'm with you in this case don't get me wrong. The response shows it all. Just meant in general, there might be cases where it's not as obvious although it seems to be wrong at first sight?
Having the articles come from different sites and authors is a dead give away indeed haha, caught red handed. Keep up your good work!

sounds like non-fun, but useful way to kill time. sad that there are no automatism implemented in blogging-pages, a single human is probably not enough to keep up even on a single site
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Automation by the use of AI robots has been tried in the past. It caused more problems than it solved. This is a meme I made back in the old STEEM days about the cheetah bot.
Many folks cross-post their content to other platforms in order to gain more exposure for HIVE. The automaton accounts were not able to discern the situation correctly. It became a nightmare for those that administered the bot to correct erroneous flags/downvotes.
You are right. A single human will not be able to keep up alone. That is why it is the responsibility of everyone to discourage the type of behavior discussed in this article. I am for policing ourselves. It is effective.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good work. Yeah, in our effort to show support to newbies we sometimes get bamboozled. It has happened to me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sure, but do we need to get bamboozled? The technology is available. I feel that the problem would be in the cost of technology. Is there a way to, let's say, hit the publish button, run the article through scanners, and if the content is greater than a percentage of plagiarism then it gets rejected?
Creators whose content gets rejected can then either challenge the rejection or alter their content to remove or reduce the percentage applied. A separate funded group can evaluate it perhaps and allow it through. I'm just brainstorming at this point. I'm not sure how practical it would be.
I've had two papers in my Master's degree program rejected following submission for such a determination. I referenced direct quotes of questions from my assignment in these papers and that's what the system flagged. The end result is that I had to re-write the questions.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Like something similar to "read.cash" bot that kicks off contents already spotted on the internet.
Well that was a smart move tho, but somehow I feel Hive users should be taught how to stand out and be unique, we shouldn't really need a bot harassing us and our publications.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No doubt. You're correct. Perhaps that's not the best approach. I've seen a handful of posts where people were downvoted (DV), but their DV was reverse when the cited error was corrected. So, yeah, I'll fall to your wisdom on that one. I'd still like to see at least an INFO ONLY tech here that could advise us on potential plagiarism, just not something that automatically takes action against the poster.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks. It's only natural, I know it's not an easy job to keep an eye on everything, so I'll be there to give a hand out where I can

My friendly suggestion.
If you are right on your claim then prove it. She has proven otherwise, though.
Plagiarizers don't go very far on Leo and other platforms on Hive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Why are you mad? I left you a comment on your post, you should go reply that and not come here to show your shameless self!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Plagiarism is not welcomed on Leofinance and nor this type of language. Watch out...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You'd be spending a lot of time reviewing articles and individually checking them for plagiarism. It might suck to read any article if you tried to tackle it all by yourself.
I wonder if you could up that efficiency by accessing the Hive database. Certain data tables display what the user wrote in their article. You could copy/paste them quickly into your plagiarism checker for a faster evaluation.
With your efforts and attention, you can bring the HIVE admin's can develop a tool that auto-checks your work for plagiarism. The technology is out there. I have to use one at school and submit it with my assignments a while back. Now, when I submit my work, it's automatically checked for grammar and plagiarism. I imagine it's what we'd have to do eventually to raise the value of the coin. Who wants to invest in a platform that can't control the value of its content?
Finally, maybe you can do a compilation article
Ms. @badbitch, I do believe you have started the beginnings of a value-empire that can change the face and value of HIVE.
Finally, perhaps with the monitoring groups, you can make such a project come to life where the system actively scans article posts upon selecting "PUBLISH". You've really got something here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you @scholaris.leo I did think of bringing all abusers in one post like today's piece. It really won't be much work as though I'd be focusing on one interface, I couldn't possibly dig the entire Hive chain, nah that's not a job for one person.
However, I do realize when am reading a fishy content, to be honest, I didn't even read half way when I decided to scan through then drop it on a plagiarism checker.
But the idea of creating a post specifically for it would be cool.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think it's just cool. I think it's genius. I read constantly for work, school, and personal time. Regarding the HIVE blockchain, I don't recall reading a compilation post citing plagiarism. Heck, I don't know that any one interface or token actually covers it in detail in a published blog.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I appreciate it. I guess we'll have it started on Hive, when people are publicly exposed they tend to adjust quicker and others will definitely learn from it I suppose.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, there's a lot of reasons why someone would present an article that way. Not all are nefarious. It could be a simple misunderstanding of expectations. What I have seen though, is that if you uphold a standard, then people are likely to follow through with it.
HIVE, however, isn't a small class whose grammar and plagiarism checks can be automated with high accuracy. A lot of people apparently do what you suggest though I have to write your method appears the most effective and, sadly, underutilized.
I see a lot of downvotes cast on a majority of articles with no explanation. Your presentation is a solid attempt and would change things for the better.
I guess so because I did notice something while trying to compare the results. I noticed some duplicates all over, where the same article is posted in like 5 different websites but different authors.
I guess someone might feel it's right just because it's been done out there. But it's not right, most of those other websites are news forums and most times they have copyright agreements, but the open world may not necessarily care about that. But when it comes to Hive where you're making more off this things, you have got to understand that copying everything from word to word is not just acceptable, and judging from how he spammed the community with over 5 articles in the time span of three hours, it was clear he knew what he was doing and right now you can spot his downvote on my posts which proves he's of no good,if he wasn't aware then he would be pleading right now.
They will all be down because it's just not fair for the Unique and hard working users on the platform.
Your argument is just and sound. There's no counter to what you've described. Ascribing "no good" as a moniker is legitimate. Also, your description is easily verifiable so others can come to the same conclusion. Yours is a solid strategy with value.
What we need, if it exists, is a founding central strategy on HIVE unless it already exists applicable to plagiarism. Something everyone can reference. I'd love to take that up after finals are over next week. If I want to learn about Leo, for instance, I just check out their library for the basics. Everything else I learn afterward comes from individual articles people write. Is there something that exists regarding plagiarism?
You're also correct that it isn't fair to those who work hard to create content here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Such a great tool to keep the platform clean. I was glad you did catch the blockchain theif. The site was also helpful.
I made a check on my latest post and I was shocked at first as I got 6% plagiarism with 96% unique. Did a lil research and found out that less than 15% is a normal blog standard bla bla . was scared at first 😱 ..
I’ll try to be doing more of this on the hive blockchain with each post I read and comment on.
Keep up the good work sis👍👍
Yeah, it's a really nice tool, I believe most people here know of it or maybe not. I use it most of the time, you can determine if it's really plagiarized when you compare the results to the post.

Not sure how exact the plagiarism checker is, even though it's easy to spot that there is plagiarism. I mean, I just used the same tool for the LeoFinance article I have ranked on google:
That plagiarism in that case is 2 different things. One of them leads to publish0x where I published the article as well, so I can understand that it's being flagged for plagiarism. The other result points to the actual article on leofinance.. So I wouldn't trust that checker entirely, even though it's obviously a superb way to spot plagiarism.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks, yes, you'll know if it's really plagiarized when you compare the options there. I compared all of them and it was all totally scattered. Different blogs, and different writers all brought together.

It is unfortunate that we have people in this community plagarising other people's work to create articles, most likely, if not, certainly, to make money. Plagarism is a massive issue: not only does it apply just to the LEO community, but also all publishing website, and not only all publishing websites, but the entire world!
Having people on the LEO community checking other people's work for plagiarism is a great deed to do to create a more diverse and engaging place for crypto people. Not only are you helping the LEO community, but the greater internet community as well by promoting anti-plagarism and keeping the work to those who deserve.

Do the accounts get blocked / stopped? On some sites if there are repeat offenders their account is blocked and earnings put "on hold" for a while (and returned to the community after a set period of time). Is it the same on LeoFinance?
