Description

Seems the posters pontificating on plagiarism neglect to read rules as well. Here is the definition they missed: "Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. In educational contexts, there are differing definitions of plagiarism depending on the institution. Plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions such as penalties, suspension, expulsion from school or work, substantial fines and even incarceration. Recently, cases of "extreme plagiarism" have been identified in academia." Then there is the Craigslist rules: "false, misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent content; bait and switch; keyword spam, offensive, obscene, defamatory, threatening, or malicious postings or email, anyone’s personal, identifying, confidential or proprietary information.... content that violates the law or legal rights of others Please don't use CL for these purposes, and flag anyone else you see doing so. Thanks for helping keep craigslist safe and useful for everyone."
