Rustic_Potato 1 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Hello My name is Rustic_Potato and I recently made a application for the "Lord of the Craft" server, and my application was denied by "Fireheart"for plagiarism. Tell you not I made my application 100% from my head and the amount of time it took me was about 5 hours to understand the lore and to write out my characters bio and story. I sent a message to Fireheart and have not gont a reply yet. In the message I asked him to send me a link to the other story that I so called plagiarized from. Please understand that I have a friend on the server all ready named Nkrumah and me and him have been very excited to play on this server and I have only been lead to dissapointed that my application was denied for some thing that I did not do. I would like answers as to where you found this story that you think I plagiarized from so that I could look into it.-Please help me & thank youPS here is the link to my application: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/135729-denied-my-application/ Edited October 27, 2015 by Rustic_Potato Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jistuma 1996 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) That is what he meant by plagiarism. You coppied the definitions from another site, it hasn't anything to do with the bio you made. As stated in the application, you can not use the words of another website:Edit: And your powergaming definition is wrong, you have to search for the powergaming definition on it's based on roleplay. The definition you coppied from Urban Dictionary as well, is the wrong definition. Edited October 27, 2015 by Jistuma 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harri 4815 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Fireheart is probably still asleep right now. His timezone won't be up for a while. And as other people have pointed out so kindly, you did plagiarise on your application. Just because your bio was original, doesn't mean you can simply pass off someone else's words as your own when it comes to definitions. You also have four more attempts at applying before you'll be given a time-out from applying too, so I wouldn't be discouraged by this one denial. Simply try again and you should be fine.

Rustic_Potato 1 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I already talked about the problem with another member "Catarrh" (nice guy btw) quite a while ago and I fixed the problem. I thought we could use google and word for word whatever came up but I missed the text saying not to do so. I already know what the terms mean and like I said before I fixed the problems and wrote them down in my own words, but what I dont understand is why you would have deny the application. You could have just sent me a message stating that I need to change the terms for power gaming and metagaming Instead of just denying it. Now I have to wait another 24 hours just so that I can sumbit the same application just with a few adjustments to the terms.

CheekyNolan 5420 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Normally applications are put on pending if little tweaks are needed. However, plagiarism of any kind is not only frowned upon but can get you banned (for example, stealing builds or copying definitions again will get you banned or barred from making another application). That is why you were denied, to stress how unacceptable it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustic_Potato 1 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 I agree, plagiarism is absolutely horrendous as an artist my self. I've been there before were people have copyed my work and its just awful to see people getting credit for my own work. But like I stated I thought we were able to word for word just for the terms about metagaming and power gaming. The reason I did plagiarise them was because If I worded it in my own words the subject would be a little longer and not as straight forward and simple as if I just used the same a google. Plus I did not know that taking sentiences from the Dictionary was plagiarism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
