I'm not one to put someone on blast here, as I wouldn't air personal problems with someone on this blog, but I feel this something that needs to be addressed.
My first issue, although a small one, happened in a game I am currently in. I immediately noticed that every time she would post something, she spam by stretching what she had to say in 3-4 posts, followed by some other random comment. Not that big of a deal, just a little annoying.
Then as I was looking at her profile, I noticed that she had gotten disqualified from a recent game for spamming. Still, not that big of a deal, just that I really had to keep an eye on the spamming getting out of hand and if she happened to get nominated, I would give her the 3 points without second thought.
That is a minor issue though. Another issue, one i can't get past, and i gotta bring this to everyone's attention is this.
Earlier today, i came across this blog, written by bowler23: http://www.tengaged.com/blog/Bowler23/7850/avatar-madness
"some avatars are getting changed for holloween, its kind of cool, im blurry now. Did anything happen to you?"
Then, shortly after, this blog was posted by kathreya: http://www.tengaged.com/blog/Kathreya/7851/avatar-madness
"some avatars are getting changed for holloween, its kind of cool, im sun burnt now. Did anything happen to you?"
almost word for word plagiarism. On top of that, when bowler called her out on it, she, holly, and the rest of her friends (probably aliases) went on his blog and starting negging it.
Spamming is annoying, but it's not a big deal, but we shouldn't stand for plagiarism. On top of that, I've also generally noticed she and her friends have a tendency to instigated arguments with other people on here. If you're in a game with her, keep negging her posts, and if she gets nominated, vote her out. Also, I encourage all of you to go on bowler's blog and vote positive, and go on kathreya's blog and vote negative, and make posts calling her out on her plagiarism.
I don't want someone like this in the tengaged universe. If we had more people like her it would kill this website.
BTW, my avatar is spinning :)
disgraceful. this type of tomfoolery should not be tolerated on a site such as tengaged. we can't stand for plagiarism. especially with the subject matter being so important. this is a sad day. I say we march towards Kathreya's profile with torches. Who's with me?!
WHO GIVES A FLYING SHIT ABOUT "PLAGIARISM" ON A GAME SITE. Seriously. BIG whoop. It was a stupid blog about our avatars. It was nothing special. Who cares if someone posted it again. lol Is it hurting you? I think not. Now please remove the stick up your asses and get on with your games. Thank you and have a FABULOUS day. :D
I think the spamming is worse than the plagarism. I mean, her copying someones blog would be worse if it was a unique and/or very popular blog. So, it's not avatar madness blog copying thats bad, it's more like the other blogs of Bowler's that she's copied. Then that's worse than the spamming.... Anyone other than me get what I'm sayin?
