I consider myself still quite new here (I came off for a few months and am now back) but when I came back only a week or so ago, I have seen so much crap posted. Mostly people plagiarising.
It's disheartening too, because for people like me who post pieces of written work which have taken hours, days, months (even years) and yet there are people here that can lift something off the internet and get rewarded for it.
I'm going to resteem this post too, although I don't have many people following me, every little helps. Just keep doing what you're doing. At least you are trying to make this platform work. Maybe we need more people to call out on those users that plagiarise? Make it known to users that this isn't accepted here? How can others help here too? I mean, if I see a post that is possibly plagiarised... what can I do about it? downvote? Maybe tag someone to look into it? I see a problem where post are just being lost, we only see posts that are curently 'trending'... we need a set place for the rules. First thing you see when you come on.
