Plagiarism Will Not Be Tolerated

This particular incident, about which I'm really done talking, I left in the hands of the admin. It has been resolved.

Oh that's good to know then. :)

Yes I checked the sources. The highlighted section in pink. And yes, there was a Bible quote, but the source wasn't the bible. It was a document about forgiveness from Facebook psychology. I'll give her that one for free. But what about the lifted quote from a university? A paper on Martin Luther King?

There are definite instances of copy and paste which makes all the other words suspect.

I think using quotes is allowed here. Is it? We also use quotes and expressions we have learned from the things we have read from the internet or even movies and songs.. But the shaded one, what if it's just similar? 2%.. Is that the plagiarized result?

Sometimes, our thoughts are similar to other phrases on the internet.. Try to check yours, you might have one too.. Similar but not plagiarized...

Let's wait for the response of Gamboa.. Let's not use bad words here coz it is against the rules.

Quotes are only allowed to be used on read.cash is they are places in quotation marks and the quote is cited, giving credit to whomever said it. And where, maybe the author found it. For example, 'I read on Facebook the other day, "The quote goes here." - The Person Who Originally Said It'

The shading means the words are the exact words in the exact order. No, 2% is NOT the plagiarized result. It was higher. No, I'm not going to keep arguing here. I'm not going to keep trying to prove my point. It's been made.

I removed the words. I refuse to remove the sentiment.

Gamboa's response was, wdym it's plagiarism?

Let the admin decide, because even if he is not replying.. He is still checking the works here and the complaints..

Next time, just control your words coz you might receive a penalty as well..

I totally agreed to you here sis and how come also they just easily throws bad words which it was also against the rules. I am NO to plagiarism as well, but yes there are instances that there are some phrases in our articles that has the same thoughts or similar from what we read on the internet. Is that plagiarism already?

I'm with you Ma'am, I'm against plagiarism too pero minsan talaga may mga salitang nagagamit natin na parehong-pareho sa naka publish sa net na magiging daan din para maging plagiarized 'yong work natin. Wala ring perpektong checker.

Kaya nga. Kasi parepareho lng naman phrases minsan ginagamit natn.. And 2% plagiarized result. There is a possibility that it's not really plagiarized

Sa mga researches ang 2-29% is still acceptable at ang 30% and up ay di na acceptable di kolang alam sa mga kalakaran pagdating dito. Kasi kino consider po sa research yong kahit may tamang citation na ay may possibility na minsan may mga phrases kang ginagamit na sarili mo tas plagiarism daw kuno.

In my community there is a zero tolerance for copy paste. So I reject from the community. Sometimes I don't even report. I report of it is more than 1 or 2 sentences from more than 3 sources. It isn't hard to use a free plagiarism detector to check your own work. If you are quoting something, cite your sources. I already have a lengthy article on how to avoid plagiarism. I won't go into it here

Same yan dto sa rc.. Kpg maliit lng na percentage. Inaaccept.. And it's just 2% and there is a possibility that it's just similar content from the internet.

Each green bar is a different source. I didn't want to lay out the entire plagiarism report in this article. I gave it to read. cash, though.

Trust me, I see this kind of thing every day. I usually don't get upset nor do I get triggered or email.

Not do I waste my time doing my own investigation. Other than running through the plagiarism detector.

Unless I know the person personally outside of read.cash, which I don't think I do, I trust nothing once several sources are shown from which sentences or two or three are plagiarized.

I will let read.cash do their own investigation. I have not requested the account be banned. I only have control over my community from which the account IS banned until and unless an investigation can prove me wrong.

If so, I will apologize. I have not blocked anybody. Including those who are commenting here in another language. Which feels like whispering behind your palm about me in front of me. But whatever.

I like that you are happy to come to your friend's defence. That's what friends are for. But I've never, to my knowledge, read this account before.

For all I know is some 50 year old man writing using a young woman's profile picture.

I hope I'm wrong, actually. I really do. Because it just shatters my faith in humanity otherwise.

It's more than two percent. Only the highlighted parts are 2%.

Since the community is a place for people to respond to my prompts, usually nothing is disallowed as long as it is one of the prompts. I prefer to reserve "testifying" to a spiritual community. There are so many religions and faiths here on read. cash. And people who have no faith or are Atheists. I prefer to keep the religion to a minimum. Leaving Bible quotes and quoting the Prophet Muhammad or the Torah anything of that nature in spiritual communities.

Thank you for you reply.

Yeah, I understand about writing about faith and tried to never write about it because of my different belief.

How about if themes like murder,racism, or abuse etc are part of the fictional story? (but I'm not romanticizing these)

If it isn't inciting to hate any particular group, it's fine. Fiction and satire and poetry are all ok. As long as it is 100% original. And it is up to the writer to ensure no plagiarism, but the moderators will still check.

Even if whatever is nonfiction. Because, murder and hated and racism exist. I believe it is very important to talk about all of these subjects.

Homophobia and transphobia exist.

If the story is condoning racism or hatred, I may reject it. Like, telling people to go murder the gays or beat up the trans or lynch the brown people of the world.

That shit will be rejected and reported.

But, using certain words or not, covering certain subjects or not, smacks of censorship.

As long as it is in response to any of the prompts, it should be fine.

It's true that it's important to talk about these things. So I wish to write that has message and lesson in the future.

I just asked because maybe someday I can connect these things to your prompts or came up with such ideas.

Thank you for your kind response.

It's a problem, for sure.

I hate repeating myself. The plagiarism checker pinged much higher number than 2% I only shared 2 screenshots out of many in the article because that wasn't even the point. It was the one sentence that pinged as plagiarism.

I really want to stand in @OfficialGamboaLikeUs side. I've been with her for almost 7 years and I already saw her article about success. There's no lie or fiction about it. I hear her testimonies many times inside the church. I'm also a rape victim of my own grandfather and she's the one who's giving me the courage not to give up. I'm honestly proud of her of how she's trying to overcome everything. She's just a lovely girl in real life. I'm just shock when she's open up about what happened here. This platform has been her friend ever since she's new to this. I hope this issue have a resolve immediately

I am also a rape victim which is why I really connected to her article. I found strength to face what happened to me because of her honesty.

I am also hoping this issue clears up sooner rather than later.

Me too. She don't have any bad intention. She just want to share her experiences through the prompt success. I didn't see any wrong about what she did. Being a rape victim is not easy and it's never been easy. But seeing her how she gave up her pain through forgiveness is the one that's giving me strength to learn how to forgive. I really admire her. I'm so proud because of how strong she was. I already saw her crying many times because of her past. And seeing how she's overcome them gives me hope that one day I will release this pain. The pain and the past that will never be forgiven. I love her article. I really love how she delivered her latest article for Jonica. I have no rights to join about this discussion but as her friend in real life I want them to know that everything that she wrote is not a fiction nor from internet. It was really based on her own and real story and I hear it many times when we're in church with others who experience the rape thing

It was more than 2%. It was more than 5%. The 2% is just the highlighted area.

I struggle so much to meet my deadlines and finish my articles that I don't have time to check anything. The only time I checked stuff on TurnItIn is when I submitted uni assignments. As someone else said... if you feel like someone is cheating than report and let read.cash sort it. Don't stress yourself and fight on your own

It's good to know someone knows her in real life.

Dunno. I'm letting read.cash do their own investigation. I'm too triggered.

I'll DM you.

Thank you. I'm trying. A hot bath (in the middle of the day, no less) and probably a good and a half (all I have left) of pinot will probably help.

Keith knew me during the time these things happened. And he and I had already done the deed before Grandpa. He and I have known and loved each other since we were 14.

It is great that you have a wonderful person in your to share, love, and confide in.

It really, really is.

I doubt it was meant as a joke. I believe it was meant to rig on people's heartstrings. And if this really happened to a real person who is the actual person running this account, then I apologize.

It is super easy to run your own articles through a plagiarism checker before hitting publish.

We don't usually run our articles if the content is purely our words and thoughts.. But it's only 7% .. For sure it's just similarities not plagiarized.. Why would she plagiarize a 7% if she has already written 93%? That made sense.

Higher than 7% but the percentage is not the point. The point was that one highlighted sentence. If only bible verses had been pinged I wouldn't even have thought twice. I might have rejected from PromptlyJonica, but wouldn't have written an article or been triggered. It was that one sentence.

I am done here and will no longer read comments here.

Y'all go ahead and talk behind my back in front of my face in a language I don't understand all you want (by the way, that could also be considered a form of bullying).

The admin had made their decision. I respect that decision.

Please, stop focusing on the trivial.

I'm not focusing on the trivial. I'm just citing a fact. But if that's what makes you feel better, then so be it.

If you feel like we are talking behind your back, you can translate our Tagalog comments or posts to prove it . Don't stress out yourself on things that won't make you feel happy..

We Filipinos respect the elderly and people older than us, and you are one of them. So even if we heard offensive words from foreign people, we respond to them constructively not destructively..

This will be my last comment. I hope you feel good now.

I don't really understand your second paragraph. In the context of this particular subject.

I run everything through my plagiarism detector. In my community and in the communities I moderate.

Sensitive topics such as this should always be run through a detector.

More than 2% was plagiarized. Just the highlighted part was 2% of the article. There are more highlighted parts.
