RE: Make the Pledge to Minimise Food Waste

in #life3 years ago

Person in question is a blogger of long standing, never seen any work "copy and pasted work" previously therefore did not scrape and check.

Sorry to inconvenience you, truly a person who I believe is trying to spread a valid message and would not plagiarize work intentionally.

Hey.
Unfortunately many users who have a high reputation or have been around for a long time think that they can start plagiarising as no one would check their content because of the trust.
It has been discovered tens of times.
Many such users also think that content that they would not have gotten away with on Steemit before HardFork (like abuse, spam, farming, etc), they could publish freely on Hive thinking that the community vigilance is poor here.
Sadly, it just makes us not to trust anyone around here.

The above post is definitely not a mistake.
It is 100% plagiarism. Even if the user provided a source to the original author, it would just turn a post into plain copypasta with 100% copied and pasted writing.
Unless the user can prove to be Amie from the plagiarised source that Hivewatchers provided in their comment here.

The user has also a history of some minor plagiarism (re-writing some article found online):

Thanks for thorough check and notification, in future I will try spend more time double checking. Keeping Hive clear of plagiarism is of the utmost importance, your work is appreciated.

Thank you Joan.
