It's pretty simple why we've brought the matter of your news posting up in our own forum because our admin has obviously contacted you before on this matter, and it was dealt with, yet then it's seemingly arose again.
If your news posters cannot see what the problem is. Then I'll put it straight.
It's plagiarism.
It's the fact that you are using our posts. Simply cutting and pasting our words and links into your own posts.
It's not the case of sharing news, it's the case of using sources as a link back to the direct source you obtained the news from, not using it as a defense mechanism, just in case somebody starts to complain. Start sourcing your news correctly and placing any detail in your own words, not others.
If your are so illiterate and unable to to type your own news posts, then don't bother at all, it's not worth it.
Also just in case you seem unable to still understand what plagiarism is, then I'll leave a Wikipedia link it's description. Then maybe you might understand this matter more. Plagiarism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Spam!
lol jk
but ive studied plagiarism and this what you speak of is not plagiarism.
it is plagiarism if people post the news without the source.
so far that ive heard they have been posting the source.
and you dont have to change the wording as long as you put the source.
sourcing is exactly like citation. you can either change the wording or not.
but as long as the source is there there is no will you can say that its plagiarism
