Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums > Other > Web Site & Forum News, Updates & Support
Saru
To conclude the recent plagiarism issues regarding member 'DreamRebel' , a system was devised this morning has been successful in removing the plagiarised content from all 1200 of his posts on this forum via changes to the site database. This has also been achieved without the deletion of anyone else's posts or topics.

Thanks to everyone who helped out by identifying plagiarised content and to those who originally brought these issues to our attention.

This matter is now considered to be fully resolved.

I am amazed at how you all were able to
handle this situation so quickly, given
the magnitude of what happened.

You all are really awesome! thumbsup.gif

I read some of the content posted about this on the other site, and many there
had kind words for UM and Saruman.

They seem like a good bunch, and some
claim they really like this site and plan to remain members here and continue
posting with us!

Good time to put this behind us and move on.

But I have a couple questions if you
don't mind.

Do we need to worry that any of our
thoughts or posts have been taken to
the other site?

Do we need to check the other site when
posting a topic here so we do not post
almost exact same content in these
forums?

thanks!

I don't think so, as far as I know Dreamrebel only copied posts from there to here and not the other way around. If anyone does find any content from UM that he's posted to the other site however, please let me know as soon as possible.

No, the problem wasn't to do with discussing things that have been covered on the other web site, the nature of the problem was that Dreamrebel was copying word for word other peoples personal experiences, opinions etc. and passing them off as his own. There is no need to check the other board before posting a topic here.

Well. I am appalled that someone would be that brazen of a plagerist!!! I am amazed at Dreamrebels complete lack of honor. And I most heartly commend Saruman and all the other Mods of both sites for their quick work.
