Did you post anything today? When you did ... I bet you are by now familiar with this message.

It looks like that after today's platform upgrade we have a new feature in place

Plagiarism check!

This is actually great. It is so easy to copy paste some news, any news from any sports website and claim rewards for it. Will this check put an end to such cheating?

At first glance it seems that the plagiarism checking system is:

  • running a test on your article when you publish it,
  • sends a result to you over email (the image above)
  • informs you again when you click on the "Find out more button", like this (image captured on the Balkans frontend):
  • additionaly, informs you in the notifications area:

Should I repost my last article just to see what happens?

I wonder how the check it performed?

Does it check against Scorum posts?

Does it use some paid service?

In this case, Cheetah comes to mind. In this article, it is said that the cost of running the service is up to $200 per week.

Team @scorum, give us a word about this new feature.

The word is here, actually.

Anyways, a good move! Congrats!

Ps: after reading the official news ... plagiarism check is just one of several new features. It is the biggest change, of course. Read the blog ...
