So I'm on the hunt for plagiarism lately, which got me this today:
If you would all be so kind as to help me bring down this person's reputation, I would be very grateful. These are not the sort of people who help us build up this platform.
The worst one for this particular account so far is a pending payout of $30 on this plagiarised post, which I can really use your help with. My flag doesn't do enough to negate that big upvote.
Thanks for your time!

Upvoting this for visibility and help of our fellow steemians to show him what we do to that kind of behavior. :)

Thank you so much @acidyo! We still need more downvotes to get his $30 payout to zero. I also left @blocktrades a message to see if they want to remove their upvote now that they know it's plagiarised content. I hope one of these will work out :-)

Although I don't think it will have any power since I'm new, I flagged it just to show that plagiarism is not acceptable. Everyone who sees this post should flag the spammer.
Upvoted and resteemed.

I surely hope so, though I can't really do that on my own. I've already wasted a lot of my VP, downvoting him, so I'm getting pretty low now :-(

First of all... no spelling, yaicks..... :P Maybe we should comment 'fack you asshole' Did he do that because you gave him away about the article? Maybe also report him to @cheetah? I don't get some people really... But don't worry, he's going dooooown..... evil laugh

I know right! Yeah, he wasn't too happy when I called him out on multiple of his posts and flagged a few aswell... Gonna check out how to report him to cheetah, thanks for the suggestion! :D

I think you can find @cheetah on private chat too, but if not just go to the profile and I'm sure there'll be some indications of how to - that's cheetah's job anyway in this platform and this is as clear as it gets! But seriously, 'fack? I can't surpass that, sorry :P

Flagged, also the, um, bitchy comments.
I think @drt is still at it as well, the one who plagiarised @sardrt here and me here; most of his photos are copied without attribution, but he seems to edit texts (or push them through Google translate once or twice) now.

Thanks @ocrdu!
I've just checked out one of his posts and searched for the images on google. Found a few hits, so I'm now asking him if these are his or he forgot to cite sources. We'll see what he comes up with.

Mine neither but they can make a difference. Had a similar but less annoying situation and after flagging, asking the author to change his ways and mentioning it to @steemcleaners, the user at least reacted and seems to include the sources of the content he shares now.

Ah, it's good that he cites his sources now. That's really a crappy thing to do to pretend it's your own image on a color challenge and reap the rewards for someone else's work. I'm sure plenty of people do get away with it, sadly...

Well, the sooner the community starts combating this behavior, the sooner we can get rid of or straighten the ones that abuse these "loopholes". Same thing goes with people self voting their comments...
