Leofinance is No Plagiarism Dump Hole. Let That Be Clear

in LeoFinance3 years ago (edited)

Yesterday @badbitch exposed a plagiarist on Leofinance and in her post she also mentioned @thefoodlords as a potential plagiarist. I checked this account, went through several posts and all of them plagiarized content on which I left a downvote and a comment with the source of the plagiarizing content.

This user @thefoodlords started today posting proper content. By proper content I mean that it's not plagiarized, but crap anyway. He doesn't say anything, no value in his last two posts and hope nobody upvotes them.

Man, if you want a share of the pie from Leofinance you should start putting some effort in your post, like I did with going through your posts and checking them for plagiarized content. Nobody is gonna give you free money for stealing the work of others. NOBODY. I will make sure of that.

There's no excuse for stealing anyone's work and monetizing it. Want to make money on Leofinance? Work for it. You can't use proper English? You have google translate for that. Need any help? Ask... Need an example of a person that puts efforts and gets rewarded? Here you have it: https://leofinance.io/@celi130.

This woman has seen Hive making changes in her life, but she's putting a bit of effort for that and you should do to if craving for some LEO. I'm doing the same and almost anyone around here. Don't feel like putting any effort? Then buy tokens from the market and get curation rewards. Just don't plagiarize!

That's not accepted in here

Don't say you haven't been warned. If anyone considers my attitude harsh and rude, you should consider that this guy is been plagiarizing and taking rewards out of our rewards pool for days. He's doing that consciously, not by mistake. If you have a paragraph taken from a news and put into your post that's not the end of the world.

When you take whole freaking articles from all sort of news outlets and dump them on Leofinance, you're not excused. You either change your behavior or stop posting in here. There's no other way. Below I have screenshots with all the posts that I checked on his account and found them to be plagiarized.

@thefoodlords, you've wasted my morning chasing your ass for plagiarism when I could have done something more productive with all this time... You owe me big time. Hope you'll reconsider your behavior and stop trashing this community. Have a great day folks and see you to the next post.

Thanks for attention,
Adrian

Sort:  

I noticed that account still has its contents displayed on leofinance.io but yet all it could offer with that privilege was to publish shits.

Anyway, am currently working on an article to properly address how an article could be free from being flagged as plagiarized even with external informations... I got the urge to write this after having a long talk with @scholaris.leo on the matter, and I believe they're people here that could use such article even if @thefoodlords would likely not care about it.

He will no longer be inventivized if he keeps continuing like that

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Your article and Ms @badbitch's work are perfect examples of what should be a continuing body of work in my opinion. I'm looking forward to her article on plagiarism. Though I wonder if your efforts have to be in vain as you mentioned in your article. Maybe some kind of program could be developed that provides a stipend of some sort to people actively screening for these types of articles.

If no algorithm will be created at least we have community members watching over like hawks.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

You're not being rude. Also, some bloggers need to get in the habit to attribute where they get copyrighted images from that they include with their posts.

Images are the last problem of this guy. He copied entire articles

I just downvoted also. Gave 30% downvotes to make sure I had enough power for other bad actors. https://peakd.com/post/@thefoodlords/a-simpsons-episode-comically-predicts-bitcoin-s-price-will-surge-to-infinity-and-gamestop-s-stock-will-fluctuate-ridiculously-in still had a $0.09 estimated vote payout but I voted that down 100% and brought it down to $0.011. Below the $0.02 threshold but I would love to see others bring that down to 0.

The other one that badbitch exposed was very pissed off. My guess is that both are the same author. We're not accepting either...

Hey @acesontop, here is a little bit of BEER from @holovision for you. Enjoy it!

That sucks. Makes you wonder how many other tribes they are trying to steal rewards from.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Who knows... This guy won't probably take any from Leofinance until he changes his behavior. Curators should pay more attention as well when upvoting content.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I don't know that you would have to wonder too hard. The Hive DB, when I had access to it, records pretty much everything. You'd be able to trace what this person's accounts are, to a degree, and then find out if he performs the same actions across tribes.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Part of it is whether or not those tribes care or have the resources to fight it. As community members we can only do so much.

It can be difficult for any one person to see if it plagiarism or not. You really have to be knowing your stuff and watching news articles as I've seen some copy and pasting happening around here as of late. I can understand using articles of others to get ideas, information and then building your own article around it with your own details and more research I do it myself at times when I'm looking for something new and interesting. But flat out just copy and paste needs to be looked at heavily on here. This is why we need MORE curators and MORE Leo spread out over a lot of Good accounts. It's a HUGE time sink in terms of curating content. I can only devote about 3 hours a day to it at the moment as this isn't my full time job. If it was I'd be happy to spend 16 hours a day on here lol Thank you for doing your part and watching out for accounts such as this. It's going to become more and more of a thing as the price increases.

Plagiarism is plagiarism. He's nothing near what you do. He simply copied news with the complete title.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

A topic worthy of a lot of attention.

I just dumped a link into the discord abuse/plagiarism group.

This is something we all need to do.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I had no idea about copy paste policy.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

But is that moral to you?
There's no policy. It's common sense. What do you think these guys are curating, other author's content?
Watch out. Leofinance is no dump hole. You either act accordingly or you won't get any rewards.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Can also get muted.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

On the contrary, I am following him because I want to see if he changes his behavior. I don't like this type of users. Prior to downvotes that he's got on his post which have lead to 0 potential payouts he manage to score a few decent upvotes from @trumpamn and @onealfa as well. @onealfa has come back and took the rewards with him. I love this community too much to ignore people like him trashing it. This is my income and I'm going to protect it.

Thank you

Why do these people insist on wasting time plagiarizing content instead of spending the same time creating their own content?

Damn it! This doesn't make any sense.

It does make sense if either you know nothing about plagiarism and its moral dilemma or the system is too big to police.

When I was out at sea for extended periods of time with reduced food inventory I would see normally moral and upright people do things that would boggle the mind. Theft also became a concern. One of my bosses told me to keep honest men honest by locking my belongings. Removing the temptation normally aligns someone with the standard of operation.

In Hive's case, the user justifies their actions by receiving payment for their, or in this case other's work. If no one is there to tell them that they're wrong, then their behavior gets justified.

Clearly, it's not something we agree with, but it's something we have to address along the way.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thank you, for this. I would not dare copy pasting content unless it is my own and even then I would at least rewrite it partially.
Good that you take the time to check the content.

Thanks for the hard work. I usually don't bother going through content for plagiarism and I wish there was an easy plug-in that notified you of the sources. However I have started cross-posting my content over to Publish0x so I wouldn't know if it got flagged. I do put links back to PeakD or LeoFinance for SEO though.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I cross post it as well. But it's my content, not plagiarized.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yea its my own content but I think the checker checks everything. So even if you were to check online, it might flag your cross-post as plagiarized. I am not an expert in these checkers so I wouldn't be able to know if they could separate an copy of PeakD post versus a post from LeoFinance.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It flags the content as plagiarism. You need to go through each of the links that has been flagged to see where it leads. That's how you'll know it it's truly plagiarism or not. My own article had 13% plagiarism, yet the entire thing has been published elsewhere so I wouldn't trust the checkers immediately without taking a deeper look.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yea that is what I thought would happen. I wish there was an easier tool to take care of everything but I guess people haven't really developed them yet.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That is true. It's still a good tool though, as long as you look into the details.

Well done, as someone whom has had their content plagiarised, I commend you sir!

Sorry, you're out of LUV tokens to be sent today. Try tomorrow. (Having at least 5 LUV in your wallet allows you to freely give 3 per day.)

I am glad that you addressed this and provided the perpetrators' accounts. With my one good eye, I will be watching out for them!

It is excellent that this detestable behavior is being addressed early and swiftly before it snowballs. We all have a dog in this race.
