INTRODUCTION
Just 2 months ago we had to say "good-bye" to 2 users, who commites such a "crime" and I wrote about it in post called DIFFICULT DECISION.
Unfortunateely, it has been brought to my attention, that some new users within our community are commiting so called "post spinning" and plagiarism. I really dislike ending up in this position and feeling that I'm forced to do something about it. It's not a pleasent place to be.
INTERNAL ANTI-PLAGIARISM DEPARTMENT
Together with @gbanga and @juanmolina we've decided to create our PH internal anti-plagiarism department. Gbenga (many of you know this user already) will be in charge of this particular unit and I will be there with Juan mostly to assist him and to make difficult decisions.
I would like ALL of you, dear readers, to go throguht his latest post "Big Brother is Watching You - My Guideline to Not being Tagged a Content Thief" and read it carefully.
IMPORTANT REQUEST
This is very important for every member of our community to be educated and fully aware, that we cannot support content which is considered "stolen". Setting up link to source (original post) doesn't really change much in my opinion. Especially if content is simply copied + pasted.
In that case rejecting payout should be a MUST. And I don't think I should be the one "teaching" any of us how to behave, and that claiming financial benefits for work done by someone else is absolutely wrong. And it will not be tolerated.
So I would need to ask EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU to write a comment below:
"I fully understand, that plagiarism and post spinning isn't tolerated within Project Hope community and I will refer from doing so".
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU GET CAUGHT
In case if any of you would commit such an action and would get caught, PH will not be punishing and pursuing such a user. You won't receive downvote. However our support with come most likely to COMPLETE STOP.
That's just simple as that. I will request such a user not to post within Project Hope. Your plagiarized posts will be MUTED within our community and we will (hopefully) say peaceful good-bye to each other.
Obviously, we may consider giving "another chance" to such a user, based on his/hers performance and level of engagement within community. I believe that there may be some users, who are worth fighting for and educating.
BOTTOM LINE
However bottom line is simple: WE WILL NOT SUPPORT PLAGIARISED CONTENT and if anyone want to use other people's work - then please DENY YOUR PAYOUT while posting your publication. This is simply not way to go.
So please, read post by @gbanga and mostly read part "IMPORTANT REQUEST" above.

Hey @crypto.piotr first on all I'm really sorry that i didn't realize that i was doing wrong but i realized that now and i ensure that this won't happen in future from my side.you are right i could have just select "decline payout" i just didn't remember it. If i my purpose were to steal someone work i would not be giving official sources link or credit in the post but still it is wrong just to benefit by copy paste from someone's hard work. Thank you for making me realize my mistake. And i respect each and every decision made by the administration of the PH community, and I'll still try my best to not to disappoint you once again. Thank you so much for giving me another chance. I'll make it worth it and won't disappoint you @crypto.piotr
I fully understand, that plagiarism and post spinning isn't tolerated within Project Hope community and I will refer from doing so.

Dear @rishabh99946
As we've agreed, I will continue supporting you with just 1 upvote weekly on your content published within PH community for period of month of June. After that time we will meet again and talk about our future collaboration (or lack of it).
I personally learned to like you and I think you may bring value into our community. Hopefully this incident will be soon ... just thing of the past.
Yours,
@crypto.piotr

There are people who aim to get rewards by following the easy path.
They ignore that "There is no easy way to success."
Obviously, if any of us make a post about the technicalities of blockchain, up-to-date price figures, or historical behavior of any cryptocurrency, chances are we have to "lean" on previous posts, press articles, and the like.
But we should never copy another author's work and publish it as our own.
Steemit articles must be "Original". If it is very difficult for you to develop an article about a specific topic, then you should be honest with yourself and look for another topic that you can approach with more comfort and mastery.
I wish you a lot of success in your next publications.

The difficulty of writing articles without leaning on copying material from other people is one of the reasons why I personally don't post so often... When I post, it's usually about something involving myself or my work.
Sometimes elsewhere on Steemit, I have posted some translations of other people's artwork, but even then I have mentioned it is translation and not something I have done from scratch.

This shouldn't be a reason for you not to post frequently.
Simply select a topic, document it, interpret it and express your thoughts about the topic in your own words.
In my opinion, this type of post has much more value than any other.

I'm the type of person who doesn't really select topics or ideas... I've been journalist since 2001 and I've always known when to write about something. It's same with writing software... I write because I want to change something., make it better or make a better version of it.

CASE OF @rishabh99946
I've started this post mentioning that crime of plagiarism has been discovered again within our community. I spoke with 4 different community members, which opinion I value. And I've asked about their opinion on this particular issue.
Example is just so obvious: this user post and original post. Even the title didn't change.
Claiming rewards for content fully copied+posted is just behond my understanding level.
I've also checked engagement of this particular user within our PH community. And within past week I counted only few comments placed on posts created by others from our group. It isn't encouraging.
However we've decided to try different solution and instead of completely closing saying 'good-bye' to this user, we will only reduce amount of supporting solid upvotes to 1x per week for period of month June. After this month we will review activity of @rishabh99946 and decide what do to.
Yours,
Piotr

Hi @crypto.Piotr
@project.hope founder.
I totally agree with this decision, and I am sure that the work carried out by our friends @gbanga and @juanmolina, will be worthy and admirable, and from today I am putting myself to order to help in that work, I know they will need help and I can contribute some of my knowledge in that task.

It is a very understandable, clear and emphatic decision that plagiarism is not tolerable within the project hope community, I especially value, recognize and congratulate the decision of @cripto.piotr to give a second chance to whoever has initially contributed value to the community, this proves to be different from other leaders and other communities.
Actually what any user must understand is that whatever plagiarism is intolerable within steem, this must be an honest work, where if we are paid for this then the duty is to do an impeccable job.

It's really great @project.hope has now set up active team members who are really gonna help us fish out the plagiarist on the platform and I really doubt if there is any old member of project hope or early adopter Steemit engaging in such act unless if the person is extremely new to the community and Steemit as a whole.
I actually hope people who engage in such act can actually think this way but it seems these set of users are much more concerned about their own gains or profit without doing much work. I am just wondering how they'll also feel if the same was also done to them!
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead 💕❤️💕💖❤️💕❤️❤️💖

I have no problem with this.
I think it's an excellent initiative.
Although for most of the users that make life on both platforms this of not plagiarizing is very clear, it seems that for some it is not so clear, others do not know it, but even if they do not know it, when they fall into that error, that failure, they should generally receive an announcement of their failure.
Of course, I consider that other aspects of the user should be evaluated. And see if it is a recurrent behavior, if perhaps he has already had other calls for attention and has ignored them.
I think it is a logical behaviour to make the call for attention, to give an opportunity. And if he does the same thing again, let him be limited. I even think it's civilized behavior, as opposed to offending the user...

Hello friends, this is a very interesting topic, this publication demonstrates the seriousness and responsibility of Project HOPE.
A challenge for everyone and a growth opportunity for those who have more difficulty writing.
I particularly take snippets of some news when I research a topic and try to present it as a quote from a job that belongs to someone else.
Good warning, I think this makes things clear and defines the parameters of our community.
Thanks leader @crypto.piotr.
