Here we go again... < sighs >
In my original post about plagiarism, I half-joked about creating a plagiarism league table. @steemcurator02 (I think jokingly) suggested that they'd like to see this league table. In my follow up post, I stated that these users wouldn't be around long enough to make a league table worthwhile. Hmm.
So today, I bring you my inaugural, Steemit Plagiarism Premier League.
I am now following a 3 stage process:
- Stage 1 - 1st Warning - I am now starting to point people towards Achievement 3 along with highlighting anything between 1 and 3 plagiarised posts (depending upon how much time/effort I have). This will be accompanied by downvotes (can I buy an unlimited downvote add-on from somewhere?) 🚩🚩🚩
- Stage 2 - A Final Warning - A simple request to stop and that I won't ask again. Possibly accompanied by more downvotes 🚩🚩🚩
- Stage 3 - Total Annihilation 🧨💣💥💥💥
If somebody properly pisses me off, stage 2 may be accelerated/skipped.
Following is the League, along with the status I have placed on each user - this is as much for my benefit as to show some transparency to what I'm doing. Beneath the table, is a list of articles I have flagged for plagiarism since my last post on the subject 2 days ago, some of which have been upvoted by booming accounts. Posting this depresses me.
There are plenty more users and articles knocking about. Following a couple of these users has taken me to communities where plagiarism is particularly prevelant / ubiquitous.
