Hello moderators!
I am writing this article to all moderators in read.cash communities, am using this medium to appreciate your efforts for being up and doing in having articles approved on your various communities. You have done well in these few days to give us something to read and engaged ourselves in the various communities. However, i have some few questions to ask us. How are we doing the moderators's job? Are we only doing it to get the points? How do you check for content originality? Do you have the time to Google each content submitted on your community to check for plagiarism and copy pasting? Are we checking for author's style of writing? Do we have the time to check comment thread to see if authors really knows about thier articles? These and many other questions beg for answers. As moderators, read.cash has given us the total control of the platform, it can only be good if we use this power well. Remember there is a 20% for first approved, this is a sort of compentition to me that in my thinking may not allow us to do the needful as a moderator in our various communities. Who doesn't want the reward? We need to be sincere with ourselves and do antispam on ourselves. Not until we are able to check ourselves of spam we cannot be able to catch another spammer. For now, we have been given job with a portfolio and an authority to carry out that job without interference from read.cash. what we give this platform is what this platform will take. Therefore let us give our best to read.cash and also to our various communities. Until read.cash make available to moderators the OC detector it will be a hefty tasks checking for content originality. However we can do our best until then. Happy moderating to all of us.

Readcash has already made available the OC detector, but in your community you must enter settings and activate it.
Despite the availability of the OC detector you can do more to know if a content was sift from a book
Of course, and I do much more. The detector is a quite impotent tool, to rely solely on that would be foolish. That was not what I answered to. It was your sentence starting "Until read.cash make available to moderators the OC detector", and I wanted to make you aware of the fact that it is already available and has been so for a couple of days. I also read everything and evaluate it from various perspectives. A very revealing comparison can be made between the language of the authors' articles and how he/she writes in comments. It's quite easy to see if it is written by the same person. Then one must also take into consideration whether the author can discuss the topic in a way showing that he/she really knows it. I can go so far as to ask something in a comment just to test that. If they don't answer at all, they are not serious anyway, then I reject. As a matter of fact, I do for various reasons reject, on an average, 14 of 15 submissions. But I am keen on keeping off-topic material away as well. That is the first line of rejection. Only if it passes that, I check for plagiarism. What methods do you use to know if it is taken from a book?
Quite a great job you are doing in here, the sanity of your community must be optimal. I salute you for the courage to go the extra mile in having an article approved to your community. About the OC detector, i never knew it has been made available for community use. On what method i used to know if an article is taken from a book, it can be really hard to detect except you have fore knowledge about the item. However, we can do it by checking the style of the author writing. You can also check for grammatical expressions on author's previous articles. Grammar or vocabulary will easily reveal if the writing is original after comparing it to other articles of the author. All these really takes a great effort, that's my main concern in this article.
Yes, I always compare to the style of the author's other articles, and also, as I said, his/her comments. Sometimes it is someone barely knowing English who writes the comments. What does it tell us, if the same author submits an article in perfect English? Yes, it takes great effort.
Oc detector is available. I confirm about originality oc detector and then i read the content also. As oc cannot detect if it from any books and oc command me that it may be copypaste .
Good to know you're going extra mile to check for originality of content in your community. May i know the name of the community perhaps i might check in
Life style,health &beauty(19b0p)(b65b) is my community...welcome to my community.
I would not say communities are in control. They are a part of the control here but so is each member. If you do not care about what you write, are too lazy to write an article and think a Tweet will do, if you do not edit or are willing to use Grammarly, start a community to accept your own content and have more than one account and add every account it's posted with your account automatically... I am sure you know what I mean. It takes me the biggest part of my day and night to check and read. Not only if it comes to plagiarism but the communities I moderate stand for more. We like to see the quality, not quantity. We like to tell the author why approved or rejected, which makes an article or it better. I doubt most communities do that and invest as many hours as we do. It's fine with me we are rarely the first community adding something. It does make me wonder because we work on it nearly 24/7 with two at least. 👍💕
Happy to know you are up to the task and not just doing it for the points. May i know the name of your community perhaps might want to check in
