Plagiarism is still the number one type of abuse reported. Surprisingly the age of accounts reported most is more than 3 weeks old.
We want to clarify when the type “Unverified Identity” is used:
- Contributor claims to be someone known, i.e. Barry Cooper or Jeff Berwick
- Contributor claims to write for www.mywebsite.com
- Contributor claims to be the creator of works found elsewhere on the internet
- It has also been used when a contributor identity is deceptive
- Fivrr photo purchased and posted for verification
- Photo taken from the internet and manipulated
A followup to change of status to “Other” is not always completed, do not assume that someone whose post is categorized as “Unverified Identity” in the report has not provided verification. We are working on ways to ensure follow up. This is a WIP.
Anonymity should be respected unless there is a reason to question the authenticty or ownership of works in a contributors posts. The contributor is also responsible for maintaining their anonymity by not reposting content or photos that can be found on other sites.
