Ok, I don't know whether what I'm doing is right or not. Long ago, I used to be active in this forum called Star Forum for DMG and MJHT. Its been a while since I went there, say, 4-5 months and today, out of the blue I thought of giving that forum a casual visit. I saw that two of the threads made here have been copy-pasted word to word by a member of that forum. Obviously he/she visits this forum too and I want that person to own up!! Poco, one was your thread and the other was Akanksha's. I'll bless you with the links.

I don't know, maybe there are more threads copied. I was so unnerved that I didn't bother going beyond the first page. So, I want to know what we can do to stop this. This is a clear case of plagiarism! Is it allowed???! The person hasn't even given credits!


P.S. Please change the W*H in the links to Star Forum to w t h without spaces. India Forum CoC is has automatically changed that.

oh..got it. took it from your post there only.
I hate this thing....my OS and fanfics used to get plagiarised a lot too. you put so much time n effort into writing - kabhi there's an assignment pending or you get up at 3am to write, and people just steal your stuff and post it as their own!!
should be really ashamed of themselves! if they can't write themselves or want to share something good someone else has written, they should at least ask for permission n give credit.
but it's that only na - want the fame by hook or by crook.
10 comments leke kar kya loge? not gonna get a medal from the president!
n see, siggy bhi i-f ka hi hai.
important thing though...members will all be angry, n rightly so, but guys, please control thoda sa - don't want to fall to their levels. >:P

Well, I just thought members here should know. Thankfully, I haven't come across any of my work copied yet otherwise I would've sued that chic/dude whoever it is! We don't even have a regular Mod here, what do we even do?
