An advice to all newbies and a few other users - Please don't copy-paste other users' articles on read.cash.

I made a post on "Read.cash: A complete user guide", and a few hours later a new user (name withheld) felt it's convenient to republish word-for-word all the content of the article. I'm yet to report him, just being lenient because he just joined about 24 hours ago. I have warned him to delete the article, and I hope he does. Else I will have to take drastic measures and he could get banned.

My article on complete read.cash guide for users

And this is his

The copy-pasted post by the new user

The only addition was "Please Subscribe me and like and comment"

This act led to the article. Had he published a summary of the article with a link to the original article published by me, I would have overlooked it. But this! It's a no-no!

What? That was very unfortunate. How can you just copied someones work and claiming that you owned that article? They are really thinking that they will not get caught. Hopefully, it will be deleted and the user get banned for plagiarizing your work Sir @Macronald .

I thought it would be possible for RC to detect if a user copys and pastes another users article, because that is what some people do probably because they do not know what to write about, but after reading this article of yours, am sure they will change

I thought they had a detector of sort, but this says otherwise. Some people don't change that easy. But I hope so.

Everyone can be creative. This site gives you chance to write in your language, and even if you od not know English, you can writeinteresting content. Be creative, do not steal other people's effort.

@Macronald it's quite an unfortunate thing for anyone to do. It's tantamount to intellectual theft. I have a question though. What can we do when our posts on read.cash get copied without acknowledgement or consent and is posted on another site. I recently had that happen to me with one of my articles. Thank you.

Well, you can write to the site admin to take the post down with claims or links to the original article written by you. You start from there and observe what happens.

I have done that already, like a week ago. The last time I checked which was yesterday the post was yet to be rightly acknowledged by the culprit.

You need to inform much more or mention him to avoid that kind of doings, still we understand that he was a new user, but its still illegal and can affect other authors reputation.
