Avoiding Plagiarism (26)
I would never do all that work just to post and share thoughts on here but I also do not plagiarize. I simply would not have the time

Quick tip: Don't try to plagiarise from the person you're addressing as something's bound to ring a bell.

tomcatwarne: Avoiding Plagiarism
You probably don’t want to have an entire post of direct quotes. So, how can you safely move from those quotes to your own words without plagiarizing? Here are some tips:
Take Your Time. Just like when you were in school, plagiarism happens most often when a deadline is fast approaching and the writer doesn’t have the time to put in careful work.
Give yourself enough time to research, write, and rewrite every time.
Read Multiple Sources. Don’t just read one source for background. By reading many different sources, you will be able to combine all that information into content that is not only original, but also informative and useful.Link Liberally. Don’t be afraid to include multiple links within a post. If you’re borrowing or building upon ideas, link to the original author’s work. Doing so can also increase the likelihood the original author will engage with you since you’re directly linking to their post.
Paraphrase. Again, just like in high school – put what you just read in your own words.
Then reread your post against your sources to make sure no one else’s words slipped in. And remember, there is a fine line between paraphrasing and plagiarism. If you think you’re anywhere near that line, make sure you throw in a link to your source.Multiple Drafts. Composing multiple drafts is not just a way to avoid stealing other writers’ words. It also polishes your own words, making your post more coherent with each revision.

Benny2025: Well, if you can't be arsed quoting your source then at least write 'anonymous' at the end of the text, so we know it isn't really your work.
Plagiarism is a no no and can get you sued.

I have reported some posts here to the real authors, for them to know that some persons are plagiarizing their words.
It is very easy to detect fraudulent people, copy some of “their” text and google it, then voilá there will be references to it, go to them an then you will find the author (I am sure you do know this already but for other people to know).
