Hey there! Today, I would like to talk about something I have seen before and have seen a lot just recently. I want to talk about Plagiarism, but more importantly Plagiarism to earn badges. Remember, I'm not talking about anyone in general.
Okay, so this used to be a huge thing back then. There would be people making multiple files, and just spamming posts to get more gold. Obviously, this problem has been resolved, but I would like to talk about something else right now. So you know there are 4 main badges you can earn by making a post: Minecraft badge, Coldplayer badge, Ringbearer badge, and Singer of Ice and Fire badge. To get these badges + 10 gold each, there is a certain name in which you have to use for the Discussion name to get the badge. People do this, and then find information on Wikipedia or another website.
My problem with this is that you are not allowed to plagiarize. This is actually illegal, meaning if it was a very vital piece of information and you stole it from like a book and quoted it yourself, you could get arrested. None of us will get arrested obviously, but there are consequences for those who do plagiarize. Plagiarizing is a shameful thing to do around this community, and it shall not be excepted.
But for the most part, I'm talking about plagiarizing for badges. They find a source on Wikipedia or on the internet, use that source (not everyone), and then create the discussion. This allows them to easily get 10 gold, a badge, and basically no work necessary. For those of you who do this and know it's wrong, I suggest you stop before getting in real trouble. For those of you that do this and DON'T realize this is a bad thing, I also inform you to stop. As I've said multiple times, plagiarizing will not be taken lightly.
Thank you for reading, I would just like to get the topic out there to make sure people know not to do this. If you would like the badges, please earn them by maybe researching the topic or finding information online. Make sure to use your own words, you wouldn't want to plagiarize. Bye now!

Love the post. Many people on here have plagiarized I see this quote I saw on google that someone used. If you're going to say a quote at least put the source down or say you did not make the quote. It is illegal and you can get charged for it. So please put the source down with where you got the quote or something from. You can get in a lot of trouble.
