I just logged on to have a look at what posts are new on the website before writing my next article. I always like to scour the new posts for new writers to give them my vote and help them make a name on this platform.

Some writers don't have a lot of SP or were not early investors into the Scorum coin but are keen to establish themselves as great sports writers here. So I along with a lot of other writers I want to see more quality writers joining and blogging daily.

But the first writer I came across today is a plagiariser. I thought it was too good to be true to have a new writer on Scorum with little SP who has a real talent for writing - the article sounded really professional. This writer by the name of 'anykiss' has copied and pasted Reuters and Goal.com articles on to this website such as:

https://scorum.com/en-us/football/@anykiss/belgium-s-golden-generation-rely-on-baser-metal-to-see-them-through

https://scorum.com/en-us/football/@anykiss/france-will-reach-world-cup-final-after-defining-argentina-win-says-vieira

If plagiarising is allowed so easily on this platform, and this sort of abuse starts becoming the norm this website will descend into a cesspit of low quality garbage and the blogging platform will die.

Here's My Proposal

We need a voting system where by someone can flag an article for copy write abuse and then that article is submitted to a pool of experienced Scorum writers who get to approve the complaint or deny it. This pool can be quiet comprehensive in both terms of size and experience to avoid abuse. But it should take something like 80% threshold of approval for the article to then be hidden and eventually deleted, maybe something like 30 writers have to approve it to avoid people working on both ends abusing the system together. People that flag, curate the site regularly and have their copyright submissions upheld should earn SP for their oversight. People that vote to uphold the initial complaint should also earn SP.

The copyright submission form can be as simple as submitting the Scorum url and the original url of the content. Those who have their complaint denied should loose SP to stop people abusing the system the other way too.

This is just an idea I have, do you guys know of anyway we can sort this abuse out now or in the near future?
