The price of HIVE has started to increase in the past couple of weeks. We went from around $0.20 to over $0.32, which is a promising sign we'll see more action as the crypto bull market gets into full swing.

At the same time the price is increasing, this also attracts people to the post rewards. This is good overall, however, there will also be some bad actors popping up.

Fortunately, there are more than a few people and organizations out there committed to zeroing out rewards so bad behavior isn't rewarded and rewards aren't stolen from those who put in time and effort to create unique content.
The #silvergoldstackers group recently experienced this from someone under the impression they were a "member" (they're not) and it was somehow acceptable to plagiarize.
The problem is even if the images in the post they made weren't copied from elsewhere, over half of the content was copied and pasted from Wikipedia. It wouldn't pass as acceptable in school, public service, the corporate world, etc., and it won't pass here either.
I talked with the other founders of the DUO project, and we agreed it'd be a good idea to have the project assist in combating some of this. We’ve worked with The Terminal through our other project, the HOC (Hive Onboarding Committee) and will also now help with DUO.
We'll see how things go with this decision, but it seems only natural to not only support the onboarding of new people to Hive and encouraging them, but also trying to help combat reward theft through plagiarism.

Tough...
So that guy isn't a member?
And was he plagiarizing throughout all his posting sessions here or it was just that one post
I think HWs would have been tougher on this guy, and wouldn't you know it? HWs already got a rap sheet on top of what our Community knows.
It's just as simple to write about it in your own words.
