I agree but I also agree with giving a warning.

Yeah, I think a warning is fair.

Yesh, I have something to say.

Even if they shouldn't need one.

I guess we'll never know, because I forgot.

Well sometimes people have similar ideas and it seems like plagerism. So a warning would be the best way to avoid baning people that didn't mean to copy someone's work.

Well, the way I see it as long as it's not exactly the same then it shouldn't be accused as plagiarism. You'd have no idea how many times J.K. Rowling has been sued for plagiarism. There are so many books out there about wizard schools. It's just a common idea, not necessarily plagiarism. So yeah, you're right. A lot of people have similar ideas. So if I don't see it as plagiarism but as a similar idea then I won't bother to even warn them.

As an artist and a writer I fully support this statement!

I so agree!

There are few things I like less than theft, especially on the internet.
Therefore....
Support party for the new rule at my house! Woo! xD

There was a guy in my class that plagairized once. He almost got kicked out of school.

I know, right? I don't know why I always have to be the nice guy about everything.

well there are some members who haven't gotten to high school and started recieving the repeated plagerism lectures. Some people think that changing one line or a name is okay but its not. I love that you are making this clear. Everyone deserves the benefit of doubt. Though I would assume by the time they are my age they would've heard about plagerism a couple dozen times. At my school you have to hear about it every time they go over the sylabus. If you get caught you lose all your finacial aid and get blacklisted.

...can someone fill me in on what happened? I think I missed something. confused
I support the idea, but I'm kind of lost here.

Yes, but even in some middle schools they teach that.

@Shadow: Someone copied a roleplay from a mod. Then tried to say that "they had permission".

Yeah plagiarism is serious s**t... In our English class we each had to do a report on a different extermination camp and this one kid just plain out printed out the entire website page where the report was written BY SOME BODY ELSE and wrote his name at the bottom of the paper; not even trying to cover up the fact that he did that.
He got 2 weeks in school :I

You go girl! Luckily it's never happened to me, but I like writing fiction stories (I'm still on Fan Fiction "training wheels"), so I know I would be HELLA pissed off if someone stole my work that I took MONTHS to create, dealing with writers block, juggling schedules, and all of that, to have some stranger come along and claim it as their own!

This rocks! Way to go!

8D your awesome  

[Angel Nicholson]

I hate plagiarism too!
I had some girl try to steal a poem I wrote last semester!
I was crazy hurt

I appoint *you* Secretary of Cheese, and

Oh, I just feel I should point this out.
I have a character I draw a lot, his name is Kaida and he's a snake-boy. I created him many years ago and I've been using him continuously for the
past 6. He's really kind of my baby.

But then I was accused of stealing Evra Von from Cirque du Freak.
I promise you, I didn't even know about him at the time (I didn't until I was accused of stealing him) and they didn't look that much alike until the movie came out and they gave him funky black hair.

(I got the idea for Kaida from a fishie character in a book-it's been so long i don't remember the title- but since I have 'fish phobia'...snakes seemed like a better choice, but the creatures are still very different.)

So yeah...
I just don't want to be accused of stealing him...I put a lot of work into Kaida only to have my heart crushed with the simple phrase "You stole Evra!"
My response was "...who's Evra...?" and I felt stupid that it had to be explained to me.
So if I post about him...please don't accuse me is all I can ask sweatdrop

*you* Keeper of the Lint.
