When people plagiarize something from the site or plagiarizes another individual's content. It really just grinds my gears whenever somebody does this crime. These are pieces of art which people created because of their unique perspective, imagination, aspirations, dreams, experiences, etc. Whenever somebody creates written, drawn or various other pieces of art, they are connected to the individual in question and are pieces they hold close to their heart. For example, my characters are frequently heroes since I wish I could become somebody willing to save others, but I have accepted I lack the bravery. While ideas can potentially become similar, I mostly me in regards to direct and blatant copying on account of various obvious factors.
Plagiarism is something not condoned for a reason, thus it naturally peeves me off witnessing these types of actions get accomplished. Receiving a message from somebody about another member or guest about somebody copying their written work is extremely disheartening to me. As a result, I maintain some strict copyright rules whenever it is discovered since I consider it fair. The main reason is simply that in a writing-based forum such as role-play, I consider theft of written material high crime in the role-playing realm. This mostly bothers me because whenever I confront these people, they never appear to understand how emotionally connected people could get to their characters, plots and various other forms site information.
