Plagiarism is an illegal activity that can generate legal problems to the platform, therefore, it is an activity that we must curb, I applaud the initiative of the #SteemWatcher community to form a detective team to which I have recently been included, see post.

Regarding my functions, I have been given the task of supporting or accompanying the World Of Xpilar community in the search for publications that may incur in the practice of abuse or plagiarism of information consciously or unconsciously.

Fulfilling this function, it is important to note that WOX (acronym) is a community managed by @xpilar, where everything related to art is shared, especially "visual art", such as drawings in their various styles and photographs, which can be tempting for those who seek to receive rewards through the work of others. During this week I have been able to see a great activity, being 360 publications that have been generated in the WOX community to be part of the communities that promote the challenges of the month, the reviews are usually made by @the-gorilla, @adeljose and the whole team that makes up this community.

Now, as far as I am concerned, I have had the opportunity to report some cases of plagiarism and abuse that may be due to ignorance of the content policies on the platform, as well as a deliberate action to try to get rewarded in an easy way.

Summary table of events identified in the World Of Xpilar community.
