plagiarism: What is Plagiarism and Why You Should Avoid it Like the Plague!
- 06/27/11 11:52 AM
Plagiarism is a topic that comes up repeatedly here on ActiveRain, and rightly so. With so many new members unfamiliar with proper Netiquette and acceptable publishing practices, it's a good thing to rehash such things regularly. Just recently, a self-proclaimed 'social media manager' wrote an article that was posted on a popular business social network, BizNik. The article initially was well-received, garnering numerous positive comments. Unfortunately, it was later determined that this article had been swiped (copied & pasted) almost verbatim from another member's blog. The site management decided to keep the article live as an example of what NOT to … (35 comments)
plagiarism: A Week in the Rain: "I Love/Hate this Job!"
- 08/01/08 04:38 PM
It was a long and rather challenging week in the Rain. We've been spending a lot of time and energy focused on the release of Localism and the corresponding Land Rush. That and fielding more questions from our members than you can shake a stick at. Whew! I am sooo ready for the weekend! The Washington State Land Rush was interesting. We all sat on the edge of our seats with baited anticipation as the Localism read-out was winding down. When the Noon hour arrived, I made the mad dash to the Sponsoring section (Bob Stewart has provided a really helpful … (39 comments)

- 04/24/08 06:59 AM
Well, it's time once again for this weeks edition of "ActiveRain Community Guidelines Re-Visited" where we're going through each of the guidelines, one by one, and expanding on their meaning.

And another one that is similar: Do not plagiarize (copy and paste) content from another source, and publish it as your own. You must obtain expressed permission from the original … (116 comments)

plagiarism: "When is Your Blog like a Toxic Waste Dump?" - Blog Tips for Rain Drips
- 10/29/07 05:43 AM
Forget about Al Gore and all the alarming hype about Global Warming! The real danger is a growing epidemic right here on the ActiveRain Network. More and more of our members are turning their blogs into a Toxic Waste Dump! Rumor has it that ActiveRain will soon make the EPA's Worst Superfund Site List! What are these deadly pollutants, you ask? Well, instead of posting valuable relevant original content for consumers, many ActiveRain members are posting plagiarized (stolen cut & paste) articles to their posts. Rather than generating content that attracts and engages potential clients in meaningful dialogue, Rainers are posting blatant and obsessive … (52 comments)
