Fully concede that words can become wedged in the sub conscious, but when Memes, Instagram et al of others are simply copied and pasted, it's a frigging insult to the intelligence of everyone who has visited this site. A non DU member brought my attention to the deceitful activities of 2 or 3 on here. My last comment on the whole tatty affair. It's boring and they should have the good grace & humility to bore-off, before evidence is provided.
Possibly too late, Rob... I've reported various thieving gits over the past 24 hours, together with all kinds of incriminating evidence. I'm VERY tempted to mention in 'their' poems' comment sections exactly what is cribbed from where, but it's not really my place to do so. I did on ONE of Nora's... because I've been directly affected by her ripping off my stuff.

Thanks for the heads up, everyone-- I've taken care of all the logged reports and if there are more instances with users not yet reported, please use the help/ask question section, to send us links to the users here, and where they've stolen from. We can't act, if we aren't alerted, and DUP has no auto-plagiarism checker built into the website, so we have to rely on tip-offs .
We do send warning messages to those guilty of plagiarism, with the intent to offer them a chance to remove the stolen content themselves and behave , moving forward. If ignored or repeated, then we ban and possible remove their account if they are so cavalier to think the rules about theft, don't apply to them. We also remove what we can of plagiarized content, based on what reports we are given , links, etc.
Hope this helps to explain and thanks to all who are so vigilant in spotting things like this.
