Plagiarism and How to Handle It on SIYE
As many of you have noticed, a certain author has plagiarized part of a rather popular HP fan fic and published it here on SIYE word for word. For the information of all those concerned about this, SIYE is handling it.


That brings me to my next concern. If you think that something has been plagiarized, instead of accusing the author via reviews or in a public forum, please contact any SIYE Administrator, so we can handle it. A lot of you did precisely that when it came to the latest incident of plagiarism. Thank you.


Then lastly, when there is plagiarism on SIYE, please let the staff handle it appropriately. Sending flaming reviews and hate e-mails to the author as a review is inappropriate and is not condoned by SIYE.


In case you haven't noticed, the guilty party's account has been seized by me. That means their password has been changed and their registered e-mail altered so that a new password cannot be generated. That further means that all the hate e-mails that you've been sending have ended up in my inbox.



Please remember that plagiarism is not allowed on SIYE, and how to address the problem in a mature manner.


Thank you.

What happens if you are trying to write a fanfic (still in the act of do it) but not sure if you have accidently plagerised something? Should just post in the Author's Note that where you think you took the line from or something like that?

LuckyHP - Yes! If you want to write something in your story but you think you may have heard or read it somewhere else, try to give the originator the credit. As long as you explaine it's not your work and may be someone elses, it's not plagerism. Accidents can happen. Plagerism is more deliberate. This was a good question.

LuckyHP: Give credit where credit is due and you'll be just fine. :) The plagiarizer I was referring to copied a story word for word. So no need to be overly worried. Thanks! LD/RS

Could you possibly tell me which story it was that was plagerised? I don't want to send hate mail or anything, besides you said that you've redirected the emails. It's just that if it is a story I've been reading on here I'd like to read the original. I understand if you cannot tell me.

Cheers,

Mike

Myk - since the SIYE administrator didn't disclose which story it was, I will not. However, if you are reading this particular story, go and read the reviews. We have stated that the author's account has been seized. Other reviewers left reviews that will clearly inform you. One reviewer also left the site of where the original story is posted.
