Hey t4tsumihyaku, I got a problem here and I already contacted support about this and they asked me to contact you about it so here's the information I got for reporting two articles that someone paraphased and partially copied from my series of articles. (The information was taken and pasted straight from support since there isn't anything I should change about the info):

"Hey, I got a problem with a person who made an article on Gamehag. Apparently, he copied some of the paragraphs and techniques from my articles and put them in his own which is driving me nuts. Here is the link to his article: https://gamehag.com/news/minecraft-bedrock---everything-you-need-to-know
Now, I know what you're thinking, there isn't anything wrong with it! But let me show you proof first via a link that will take you to a bunch of images with my articles. Here is the link for this: https://imgur.com/a/WA1wt6g Now I'm pretty sure you need additional proof, so here are all of the links to my articles and his: His articles (both of them are copied from mine and make sure to read everything from here, including the messages): https://gamehag.com/news/slitherio---basics https://gamehag.com/news/minecraft-bedrock---everything-you-need-to-know
All of my articles (look and read all of them completely in order to compare them and see if they are copied. the dates as well in order to prove that they were copied): https://gamehag.com/news/war-thunder---review2 https://gamehag.com/news/survivio---part-1---the-basics--modes https://gamehag.com/news/super-smash-bros-ultimate---a-guide---part-1 https://gamehag.com/news/animal-crossing-new-horizons---a-review https://gamehag.com/news/survivio---part-2---season-3-update
After seeing these articles, I'm pretty sure you're now conviced that they are copied. He earned soul gems for making those articles which is upsetting for me personally so if you could do something about that, maybe restrict his account or something so he can't access his

soul gems or the prizes that he might have gotten, that would be awesome."

I'll investigate this case for you. Thank you for the report :)

Thank you :D

Greetings!

As far as I got it, it is allowed to use a little of already existed pieces of information in articles. I mean, quotes, technical description, terms and so on.
However I found an article recently which contained a lot from the already existed ones.
Here is it: https://gamehag.com/news/neon-abyss---game-review-
And here is one of the sources: https://screenrant.com/neon-abyss-game-review/

Upd: Today I voted on another article made by the same author, which was also mostly plagiarized; it was about Satisfactory, as I can remember. Just on the off-chance :)

@Aonb Handled. And please, next time, use the template. Thanks :D

From far as I can tell, AnimationPr0 still hasn't changed his behavior with the articles. I notifed him and asked him to change his way of writing the articles, but he still hasn't. He said he did but I keep on seeing parts of my articles paraphrased and he claims that I allowed him to copy some of the parts of my articles which I didn't. This is the most recent article that he's planning to publish and it most likely got rejected before so if you can still continue to moderate him, that would be great. The link: https://gamehag.com/forum/t/374655-agario---all-you-need-to-know-

Sorry for my interruption @DarkestTeddy. Here are two reasons of why I am doing it.

a) Please use the template mentioned by t4tsumihyaku, if possible.
I also was inattentive with that recently, as I looked more on posts here instead of noticing the moderator's advice, my bad.
b) I really understand why you're being frustrated, however, as for me, what that user "borrows" from you looks like a template / basis structure more than like an actual plagiarism. I am directly related to copywriting, literature and so on, but unfortunately I cannot see real plagiarism here, except for few lines, i.e. building the article's structure. As I've learned it, it is counted as plagiarism on Gamehag if you copypaste the whole fragments, not separate short lines or terms, etc., is it?..

Turning back to the main thread's plot. Let me please mark two articles at once (they are related to same author, subject and source) and add a little explanation in the end.

Link to the article(s): Terraria хардмодные боссы , Terraria до хардмодные боссы .
Reason: Plagiarism; both articles are copied from the Russian Terraria Fandom website.
Explanation: I remember well about our previous talk about reports related to different language localizations. I followed your advice and wrote to the Russian moderator about these two articles (even mentioning the fact that these articles are on the "From users" forum), However, as I found out, there are either no ways or no well-known options to remove them. That's why I also wanted to learn whether it's really so, or there's just a need to learn how to make it. I sincerely thank you for your attention and help.

@DarkestTeddy You're claims of my article are untrue. You claim that I don't believe I did anything wrong is true for my first two articles but not this. I had written the article on my own. The reason because it got rejected was because of grammar error or spelling error. (Verified by

Hey, DarkestTeddy.

First of all, I think this isn't the most appropriate place to make such reports.

> From far as I can tell, AnimationPr0 still hasn't changed his behavior with the articles.

Are you talking about your very first report? The case is handled. Officially, AnimationPr0 was warned by the Support Team to stop plagiarizing and I'm 100% sure that he stopped with his past actions.

---

> I notifed him and asked him to change his way of writing the articles, but he still hasn't.

Wait, wait... So, you're attempting to report a user because they copied your style of writing? If it was culpable, I probably would have reported already around 50% of the Gamehag authors :D

---

> He said he did but I keep on seeing parts of my articles paraphrased

I and Kabash have read his agar.io article multiple times, and it seemed to be OK. I haven't detected any paraphrasing in it.

Do you have proof that's good enough to prove your claims?

---

> and he claims that I allowed him to copy some of the parts of my articles which I didn't.

This claim doesn't make any sense to me.
Can you please provide some evidence to prove your claims? It could be a conversation between you two or something.

> This is the most recent article that he's planning to publish and it most likely got rejected before so if you can still continue to moderate him, that would be great. The link: https://gamehag.com/forum/t/374655-agario---all-you-need-to-know-

We still keep an eye on him because he was warned by the Support Team already. So far, he hasn't done anything wrong.

AnimationPr0 came up to me and asked me if it was ok if he was going to change everything he did in the past and started over. He gave me a link to the argario articles and he said this: https://imgur.com/a/WMNvqAy

And I get that it's techniquely fine but I don't really feel good about what he's doing to me if you know what I mean. If you look at the information I sent before (the very first message that I asked you to look through his articles), you can check the imagur links which have the screenshots of my articles and what I included in them. In the agario article, he did mostly the exact same thing as before but changed it for this game. It's most likely fine in here, but I'm just letting you know about what's happening currently. Thanks for replying btw :)

@DarkestTeddy Thank you for providing screenshots.

> he claims that I allowed him to copy some of the parts of my articles which I didn't.

Okay, let's take a look at the sentence above.
In the sentence, you said that he claims that you allowed him to copy some parts of your articles, which isn't true. He said, "Btw, I thought you said that I can copy the formatting?".
He didn't ask you if he could copy some parts of your articles.

---

Let's talk about his agar.io-related article. The truth about this editorial is that it was submitted by AnimationPr0 a long time ago, but he stopped re-uploading it probably because it was getting disapproved so often (due to some private reasons). However, after some time, he decided to re-upload it, and because he didn't plagiarize last time, I decided to publish it on the forum.

---

I comprehend that you don't feel so good about it.
But the truth is that he really hasn't done anything wrong. I've been investigating this article for a long time, and it was good enough to be published.

One of the only similarities between your articles and his submissions is that he always adds a note in which he says "This is not plagiarism or spam" which for me isn't considered plagiarism; many users put such disclaimers in their articles.

---

> I'm just letting you know about what's happening currently.

Yup, I get it. I just want to let you know that if he has done anything wrong, I would've reported him a long time ago.

I understand that you might feel disagreeable because he copies your style of writing, and it's totally coherent.
However, he promised that he will change his writing style and I'm sure that he will keep on his words :)

Dear @DarkestTessy, let me still support you a bit in here. I've had a kind of issue with AnimationPr0 some time ago when he copypasted my answer to Kabash's thread about suggesting games, so I had doubts about him, too. As for the article issue, I've already shared my position as a user above just a bit; as for the attitude & relations here, I prefer remain neutral and not contribute the drama, as the current thread is not about it and such things should be better discussed via DM (imho, hust because not to spread negativity :) ). I only hope that, as for both of you, this won't affect much in the form of a bias in the further acceptance of original articles from you.

Also I came to this thread to make an actual report, I'll add it here in some minutes after fixing the formatting :)

@t4tsumihyaku Thanks for explaining everything clearly to DarkestTeddy. :) I am glad that this case have been resolved. As for the near future, I will change my wrting style and (Of course!) I will keep my words.

Link to the article: The Spirit 101 (Rewritten)
Reason: Plagiarism.
Proof: A couple of screenshots with searching by separate phrases: here and here.
Additional note: There are some original parts, but even the title says it's a rewrite. At least a half of the text is borrowed from other sources. If it's allowed on Gamehag, sorry.

@Aonb I am working on this case for a week now and the article will be removed in a couple of days. Thank you for the report, anyways :)

Thank you sincerely for allowing me to report articles from Russian localization for now!
My today's report will touch articles made by one user; they all got on the "From users" forum. The user hasn't been active recently, however, his articles are still presented.

In short, everything the guy has written over the years is nothing but plagiarised content.

@dakuwanga The articles are reported to the Gamehag Team & will be deleted very soon. Thank you so much for the report :)
