Plagiarism & Mocking Issues

Okay now there isn't exactly a rule in this forum that says such posts aren't allowed (or none that I know of) but I'm sure such a post will soon be closed. Why? Read on.

For a long time some people have been mocking other people's sources and information in regards to DMG and it's future tracks. This bashing has been quite implicit and indirect, and people have been using their signatures as the means.
This brings me to the plagiarism part. They will mock the sources but we (I and many others) have noticed them stalking someone (read: Vanita) just to get news. Vanita posts her info in the KaSh and SR AT, or informs people thru pms and emails. There have been many instances when her news has been literally lifted off word for word (through the magic of copy and paste) and posted in other ATs as information given to them by their own "source". If people do not believe me, then I have screen caps with time stamps to prove this. Before I get labelled stalker, I'm sure everyone does it and well this was brought to my attention by someone else. The reason why I am making ths topic is just so that the Dev Team can implment some rules against this plagiarism of information, where other people can stop claiming that they have information when all the do is stalk and post Vanita's (I don't think someone else posts information in the forum besides her, and if they do then my apologies) information word for word.
Also if they plagiarize then can't they at least give her credit? I think all of us went to high school or junior high, so we all know about plagiarism and quoting other sources. Not just credit, they are taking her information as their own, and then bashing her as well through their signatures.

Before this turns into a fighting ground, I just want to say that my intention was not to fight or point fingers. My intention was to point this serious issue to the Mods. They have not yet gotten back to me on my previous PMs, hence the topic for this issue. I just want some rules against this.

Let the fights begin!

Oh and I have proof :)

I agree totally. This topic was needed. I have noticed this some people have indirectly or directly mocked Vanita. If they think her news is 'imaginary' then why copy it and claim to be there own.. and why mock her through their sigbox.. its really immature. Just keep to your own so called sources but don't copy others and act childish about it as its crossing limits.
The Dev Team need to take some serious action. Members shouldn't be targeted at.

Seert *hugs* thank u so much for opening a topic on this

I really want Dev Team to take some action against this people have been bashing indirectly to other (specially Vanita source) calling imaginery source i really don't get it when she has given so many ryt news thn how can they say imaginery these people need to open up their eyes thn coming to they have start writing on their signature box abt this way to go datz shows how mature u are..

If people have nothing nice to say thn i would suggest thm to shut up bcz they think they are only one who is hurt bt u knw wht frgt it why am i wasting my time on dat

Yes i totally agree with when you get this news (while stalking Vanita) atleast credit her but no givig credit is far they bahs which is so not cool this is getting out of hand people need to start using their own brain now

I just wanna laugh at this line-----> "Let the fights begin!" 🤣🤣

In a serious note: ppl need to learn to give credit whoever it is belongs to and STOP getting into others business and making fun out of it. If one does not know what is plagiarism and the consequences for doing so, they can certainly use the easy and free the most convenience tool--> called google. I don't care when they read it secretly and I don't think Vanita does either, but i hate it when I see members making fun out of it.

Something needs to be done for the open plagiarism and bashing!!!

Word. I have known Vanu now for quite some time, and needless to emphasize, but her news is on the dot and she is interconnected with the DMG CVs and the Production House. In fact she's personally known with the DMG actors as well, so I do know that her sources are probably the most credible out of all. Now just so everyone knows, I know how tuff it is for Vanu to extract the news, but she does it all for the sake of us and the forum, and the next thing we know, people in the Ka--Jen AT steal her reports.

Yello, Vanu is a kind being, and I am sure she wouldn't mind it if the information is shared, but at least check with her before posting it as your OWN source. Even if you don't inquire her about it, at least give her the damn credit. This is so sickening and had it been the real world, Vanita could have sued some of yall, but just because it's the virtual world, people indulge in such shameless acts.

I guess Vanu needs to patent her words now.

If this doesn't cease, then I really wish we can get Vijay involved so that he can trace the IP addressees of members that steal others' words and then Vanu can take legal actions accordingly.

Glad Seert u came up with this!
I am shocked to see an AR fan today copying all my news and posting in her AT and taking all the credit! shame on u Stalkers!
You could have given the news in ur own writing style...
it was copied word to word....they just clubbed two of my news...how smart!

Secondly yes this mocking thru siggies eg Unknown and imaginary sources things need to be sorted out!

Oh btw they are the same pepz who question ur upbringing in almost every topic....Glad to see that they are "Brought up" better!
