Title: Do not copy posts done by other members! Plagiarism Penalty
Post by: admin on September 19, 2018, 09:48:37 PM
I have been giving advice on how to avoid plagiarism as well as negative karma:

However, some people are still not getting the memo, some members think they have found a way to rank the lazy way!

News Flash >  WE DO MONITOR OUR FORUM VERY CAREFULLY

Thus if we find any user copying posts and topics from other users on this forum or elsewhere, if the post is 80% identical [statistically not possible to be random, but rather intentional] //  this does not concern quoting.
the user will get a penalty,
the penalty will range from:
100-100,000 points reduction
1 to 4 ranks demotion
1 to 100 negative karma (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=657.0)
Plagiarism strikes (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=115432.msg686662)

- Removing plagia strike: You lose half your points and you need to send 10 ALTS
- Removing plagia penalty: You lose all your points and you need to send 50 ALTS
- Removing negative karma: You lose some of your points and you need to send 3 ALTS/per negative karma

thus do read how to rank the right way :

Plagia penalty: if a user gets 2 plagia strikes, it will be removed by admin but as a result the user will use between 10000 to 30 000 points

Since 2018 the penalty for plagiarism was as follows:

the penalty will range from:
100-10,000 points reduction
1 to 3 ranks demotion
1 to 10 negative karma (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=657.0)

Due to members now having 100+ karma, as well as upto 100,000 points, + new ranks, this penalty range has since been increased:
