How to solve the problem of mutual copying
Thread Content
How to address the issue of copying content from one another? I often visit several chemical engineering forums, such as **, Chemical Technology, Nobel, and Data Download, and am active on them. Sometimes, in order to \"earn\" points, I post the same topics on different forums (it seems there are quite a few people doing this), and occasionally I share useful content from other forums as well. Recently, while reading posts on this forum, I noticed that many of the discussion and request topics had already been seen and responded to on other forums, and the people who posted those topics were not the same person. How can such issues be resolved? This post was last edited by zhangyong6404 on 2009-3-20 21:45.]
I see it every day, so it’s not surprising! This is what you know; there are even more things you don’t know! As long as it is beneficial and without malice, everything is natural.
For reposts, it should be indicated and the source explained. If not specified, and the moderator confirms that it is a repost, it can be deleted directly; those who persist in such behavior may be subject to appropriate penalties or warnings.
What was said on the second floor makes a lot of sense; you should know that some members (like me) only use one forum – the ‘Haichuan Chemicals Forum’!
Good topics can be used as references, but the source must be indicated. :handshake
It’s unclear who copied whom in this case, but it’s clear that this phenomenon is quite common
A river should be able to accommodate all streams flowing into it; we need to have the courage to adopt what’s useful, and anything that can be utilized should be shared. It’s best to indicate the source of others’ work.
Actually, I think it’s okay to repost some content, as long as it’s not done repeatedly on this forum. After all, it’s great to take a look at the good stuff from other forums and discuss it here as well.
It’s very simple: keep only the one that appears first, delete all the others, and deduct up to 5 points as a light punishment
Good things can be borrowed; I fully agree with that. But it’s even better when they have been filtered or improved by one’s own efforts. Whatever the forum may be, it serves as a platform for everyone to communicate. Of course, it's good to indicate the source. The key question is: Is it really necessary? I will still look for other good resources and share them. I just hope that, under the leadership of Chao Ban and Cang Ban, we can run the Analysis Technology Exchange Area as well as possible – after all, it’s through analysis that we make a living
Hehe. . . This problem became apparent a long time ago; borrowing from one place to make up for another is not uncommon. Whether to copy or not is a matter of character, whether to speak up or not is a personal issue, and whether to impose penalties or not is a matter for the moderators
