I'm being trolled! || And Repentance || Plagiarism Update

in plagiarism •  4 years ago  (edited)

@steemcurator01 - I really hate tagging you but if there's anything you can do to remove this delegation and put an early end to this saga, it would be appreciated.

Now it was only a matter of time before a plagiarist decided that they didn't like what I was doing. And that plagiarist is @razz11.

Having been asked to stop repeatedly and deciding to continue plagiarising content, he continued. I followed, I highlighted, yet he still continued. Then yesterday, something rather unfortunate happened, he posted in #zzan garnering the attention of a whale. The whale didn't like it and downvoted and now poor little @razz11 has a reputation of 2 - https://steemit.com/hive-160196/@razz11/why-did-we-choose-this-path#@underground/qqpkgf

But that's not it for this little vermin, he's decided to try to fight back, manipulating well known websites with MY content in an effort to discredit me. Laughably, with content that only I'm capable of writing due to my unquestionably unique writing style.

So friends, followers and community - if you see me being trolled, this is why. Hopefully he'll shut up shop and fuck off but like a wasp at a BBQ, something tells me there'll be a little while to run yet.

I believe this type of post should be rewarded.

Thanks for this - investigating...

👍

Given a flush of downvotes for plagiarism...

Ouch. -4 now. I wonder if that's enough!

4 more accounts have had their 1st warning - strange how the plagiarists are attracted to particular communities. It makes it less of a challenge for me 😃

Just shout when you have some more in your sights...

Ha ha, thanks - steemchiller said the same thing, I'll use you both as a last resort if all else fails. I have no idea how you see my tags with the number of posts you get tagged in!

If you should see any more plagiarism, just tag me in a comment and I will support you on your journey ;) Bringing him down to rep 3 was quite easy. If he should need more flags to realize that his way doesn't work, he will get for sure.

Ha ha, thanks. I'll tag you as a last resort. Let the battle continue 💪💪

Good man @the-gorilla!! Great to see plagiarism being combatted. Good on you for taking the time.

Some of the shit people have been getting away with beggars belief. I'm dead impressed with steemchiller and steemcurator01 for backing me up today. But the time it takes is significant. I'm hoping people start listening but I fear they won't until it's too late.

A plagiarist is accusing another plagiarist of plagiarising his content. You can't make this shit up. They've both been warned.

That's a great deal of job you doing there mate. People will start learning once they generate that fear that you're always around. And please, no matter how bad they talk to you, just be nice...just do your job
And please, don't catch me😂.. I'm sure you always read my posts to try and find something in them

Ha ha! You're on my "good list". A fair number of people that I follow are on my "naughty list" though.

I've had all sorts. One started posting in Italian and Chinese to mask what they were doing. One today asked me how to write non-plagiarised content. Another one today is arguing that because it's "royalty free" content, he doesn't need to reference the source - I try to educate but some people are just too lazy to learn. Unfortunately, this probably means their account will end up like razz11's.

Yeah... it's just what it is. Some people want the easy way. It's their own fault if their accounts get defamed or even blocked

Sadly yes, you're exactly right.
