Beautiful Melina and Plagurism

[Miss Maya Blue]

I understand gaining inspiration from one another is normal and unavoidable really, in a media saturated world.

But copying the writing word for word of another local SP and trying to pass it off as your own is unacceptable

This was brought to my attention by a client of mine, a posting by Beautifulmelina

It has been copied from my postings on Terb.

If Melina intends on distinguishing herself as an intelligent and respectful SP, both with clients and the SP community, this is not the way to go about it.

Ouch! That sucks! The posting date makes it clear who posted first!

No, obvious copy and paste. Still, I think no harm, no foul if Melina corrects it and apologizes privately. I don't think this is something that needs to blow up if it's dealt with quickly.

Unfortunately, as good an SP she may be, it's not the first time Melina has been shady. Anyone who has read the boards for the last year or so could have noticed it.

So this really does not come as a surprise.

Still, I am sorry it happened, Maya. Plagiarism is pathetic.

 

[Miss Maya Blue]

the fact that the offending post is still up is a bit insulting.
i am a supporting member and have been for 5 years....

if this woman has a history of unscrupulous behavior, why is it that she is tolerated on this board? she blatantly stole my writing...what is next, fake pics? stolen pics?

Maya, if you haven't already, you should write a pm to Mod 8.

Hopefully, he will be able to help you.

Good luck.

Hello everyone,

This is a difficult situation as it concerns TERB as well as MERB. I am looking into the situation to see what can be done.
