Phoenix Network Forums

A few moderators noticed that new users are "stealing" words and text from other sites and forums. Don't do this, you will get banned!

If you want to make a point or quote something don't forget to put it under quotes:

Code: Select all

[quote] ... [/quote]

Or if you don't use quotes, you have to put the source of the text with your post:

http://www.example.of.source.nl

You don't have the right to "steal" their text, unless the writer gave you permission.

[EDIT] If you as an user caught another user copy/pasting from another site without placing the source on his/her post, please report it as soon as possible to a moderator/admin. You can do this by writing a private msg on the forum, or tell the staff member on irc. Thanks!

Well thought.. but it's very difficult to notice it

Well, since most plagiarism occurs in the form of copy and paste, it's not difficult to google the same article by googling a bit of the text. Also most articles look article-like instead of post-like, and many people will not bother making a grammatically correct article for a forum, so there's another give away.
