thanks for your article!
I assume the diamond is part of your name so I put it in there :D!
Showing respect for someone's work is always important because at least two simple reasons came to my mind (besides the reason that the work is not one's own).
This person's work seems to be "teaching" and therefore has some value to you if used
That person's work was done with difficulty, and if the person is not named, the effort will not be respected
However, there may be licenses or other situations where the work can be used by someone else without naming. Therefore, I fully agree with "If you encounter plagiarism, the absolute BEST action you can take is to report the post. Reporting the post sends it directly to our community team to take action."
Please consider some research before blocking the content. Otherwise, it could lead to great displeasure. Take, as an example, an extreme situation where a group of people does not report real plagiarism just to create such unrest within the community.
But keep in mind that I am not an expert on such critical situations. These are just some thoughts.
I completely agree with you! There's definitely a gray area that may be unknown to an average user. We're always looking into reports and also reaching out to the original authors in some instances.
Please consider some research before blocking the content.
You betcha! All reports are reviewed by the Community Success team, Michael, Ella, and myself before any action is taken. We're also very forgiving in most instances because a lot of times it's not malicious
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
