Hi @sapwood i agree with @chiomy CryptoAcademy should not be too rigid.
We are really sorry Mam, but I think we are the most flexible and lenient, no other platform allows a plagiarist(first-time) to participate again.
Please note that plagiarism is intellectual dishonesty, an insidious act.
- Original content- levies reward.
- Plagiarized content(first time)- but do not repeat it again, it's a warning/request, you will still be curated and rewarded.
- Plagiarized twice- levies punishment. It's intellectual dishonesty.
If there was a change in professors, then plagarism offenders should be fogiven at the end of a season.
No mam, you got it wrong. Detecting plagiarism is not enmity with the individual, rather an obligation of each individual in Steem Blockchain to reinstate the highest stature of PoB(Proof-of-Brain). So regardless of what role you perform, plagiarism is purely classified on the basis of the on-chain evidence. I may not be there in the Academy tomorrow, some other professors may also join the Academy, but the on-chain data will still remain there. The data do not lie. Further Blockchain offers us more transparency and immutability. So it is fair and impartial and can be audited by any one. The Blacklist/Greylist diligently follows the data and evidence to classify a user.
If a child does something wrong, you beat with the left hand and correct with the right hand. We are all imperfect.
Plagiarism is not a child's play, rather an insidious act and intellectual dishonesty to leech the reward pool, it diminishes the idea of proof-of-brain and discouraging for investors and genuine content creators.
I hope it clarifies.
Thank you.
Hi sir @sapwood, this policy will only lead to people creating more accounts that are not functional. Everyone errs even professors, apart from you and few professors, many actually spin their work from wikipedia with no new knowledge added to the students. Is there any policy guiding professors who err?
I have many times used a stronger plagarism checker to check works of most professors, and a lot are plagarized. I still stand on my opinion that the laws guiding greylist and black list be checked if steemit is truly a decentralized system.
Thanks sir.

You can give the post link and your findings(if you feel uncomfortable, then you can also provide all those details privately over discord sapwood#2079). We will investigate. As I said earlier it is applicable to all, even for me too.
It sounds a little weird Mam. It's like.... Hey, you do not allow repeat offenders, ahh...you are centralized....You allow repeat offenders, you are the most decentralized platform in line with the spirit of Bockchain.
Tell me Mam, just name any single platform where it is giving a second chance to a plagiarist in a Competition, not just a decentralized platform, just anyone. Even the centralized one too, you can even consider Medium?
Mam, I would repeat again, plagiarism is intellectual dishonesty.

Hello Prof, thank you for the well detailed report and analysis thus far. I've continue to admire your level of analytical skills. Wish to learn more if previlleged.
My thoughts here are about the Grey and Black list users. Basically, there shouldn't be any plea bargaining for those in the black list except otherwise stated by the rules.
But if there are new ways to retrain those in this cycle aside just participating in the Newcomers achievement 3, that would go along way in fine-tuning the genuine intentions of some of the users.
Can the academy put up a weekly homework task for this set of people In the blacklist (interested users) for a given period of time to check their level of change and consciousness to plagiarism and if they pass through this test can be allowed to only participate from beginners level and then to other level.
My little thoughts.
