Boddunan will automatically disqualify such members from participation if he repeats it again and again in spite of the warnings or notifications. He will not be eligible for payment. So imposing penalties sounds bit huge.

I am not aware of the seriousness of the situation, so can not comment on it properly.

I think deduction of points would be fine..
But right now I think Boddunan can't be so strict.. It should not be..

At later they may impose such penalties..

A system of punishment or penalties is unavoidable everywhere. There are always people who would not hesitate to employ unfairpractices. They have to be penalized. The penalty may be deduction of points/ cash credit, suspension of membership for a stated period say one month and in extremecases permanent cancellation of membership.

We should remember that if external visitors open our site and find copied content... then thy might not visit us again...

Internet users are quite vigilant about the quality contents in any site.

We should be in a position to claim ourselves to be the best... or at least one of the best on internet. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Posting copied content is not only a violation here in Boddunan, but it's also a serious offence on the internet.People will not be happy :( to see someone taking credit for their work.(Members here should remember that this site that is crediting their article can continuously do so only if it can give the internet users good,genuine content in the long run!)

Moreover,as Amit said it's too early to start banning members here.But it can be avoided if we look out for spammers,copy-writers :P etc.,

May be Boddunan can include "Copy cat" to the profile name if the author violates repeatedly!! :D:D

Hi,
I am not satisfied by my last post(reply)...
It was an immediate reply & now I think I have a better !dea to stop these things....(I am a genius in discovering new Ideas ;) )

I think there should be NO Penalty for Copy-Cats,
Why?? :huh:
because..
For eg- A person works for 4 days, earns 100 Points, on fifth day it happens that an article posted be him is an copied content, or partially copied, or sentence rephrased etc, & gets -50(minus 50) points...

Do you think he will stay with boddunan??

Lets say a person submits 5 articles(3copied & 2 original), Banning such user will affect Boddunan. It will not get 2 original articles.(& I don't know how many readers).


BUT, We cannot afford copied contents...
So The solution(I have it :P )
I think when some one (like you) reports an article as copied, The credits assigned to that article(Points as well as cash) should be removed..
& 25% of the same should be given to the person who catch the copied article(and the Criminal).

By this, users will read more article. & as copied content will not receive any credit, I think posting copied article will be limited...

(I MIGHT BE WRONG :( )

Thanks friends for coming out with so very innovative ways...
As far as my mission is concerned... how irritating it is for some users... that you might have seen in other threads on similar subject...

Really on the very next moment of your discussion on this matter I put my opinion to have a model punishment like point deduction and member rank demotion.Here senior members are the accused.So it should be taken seriously by support team.

How about adding a new section, 'Hall of Shame'??? :P ;) :blink:
