Good work. Yeah, in our effort to show support to newbies we sometimes get bamboozled. It has happened to me.

Thanks. It's only natural, I know it's not an easy job to keep an eye on everything, so I'll be there to give a hand out where I can

Sure, but do we need to get bamboozled? The technology is available. I feel that the problem would be in the cost of technology. Is there a way to, let's say, hit the publish button, run the article through scanners, and if the content is greater than a percentage of plagiarism then it gets rejected?

Creators whose content gets rejected can then either challenge the rejection or alter their content to remove or reduce the percentage applied. A separate funded group can evaluate it perhaps and allow it through. I'm just brainstorming at this point. I'm not sure how practical it would be.

I've had two papers in my Master's degree program rejected following submission for such a determination. I referenced direct quotes of questions from my assignment in these papers and that's what the system flagged. The end result is that I had to re-write the questions.

Like something similar to "read.cash" bot that kicks off contents already spotted on the internet.

Well that was a smart move tho, but somehow I feel Hive users should be taught how to stand out and be unique, we shouldn't really need a bot harassing us and our publications.

No doubt. You're correct. Perhaps that's not the best approach. I've seen a handful of posts where people were downvoted (DV), but their DV was reverse when the cited error was corrected. So, yeah, I'll fall to your wisdom on that one. I'd still like to see at least an INFO ONLY tech here that could advise us on potential plagiarism, just not something that automatically takes action against the poster.
