Keep An Eye On Other Media

[Wheelbarrow repair man]

I enjoy reading the points of view other Fans on PON. Sometimes  their remarks are Serious other times Funny and other times Thought Provoking. However it's come to my attention that other Authors on other Media platforms are stealing (for want of a better word) ideas comments and authors remarks from the Notts Fans who write on this sight. Case in point the other day I suggested that perhaps Luke Williams may speak to the Swansea board about signing Macca and low and behold a couple of Days later some Hack had taken my comment and had written an article around it. There have also been other segments of articles I've seen and as I read it I think I'm sure I've read this on PON. While I'm sure there isn't anything we Fans can do about this, should you be one of these people who take Notts Fans remarks stories or Topics from this site, then at Least Have the decency (which probably something New to you) to quote the Pride Of Nottingham as your source. Any other PON Members come across this?

I’m sure that they probably trawl all the Notts sites, including Twitter, Facebook etc., looking for ideas to write about. Nothing much can be done about it unfortunately.

You know the old saying @Wheelbarrow repair man, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.It's not the first time an idea or comment has been 'pinched' from. PoN and used elsewhere without acknowledgement .I don't suppose it will be the last time either.

The most annoying thing about it super_ram is these people can't come up with own articles and have to pinch them from others and on Top of That they Get Paid for it.

It's sad that people & some professionals have to resort to plagiarise material from others.

It appears that it is plagiarism is rife on social media and it has been happening for as long as social media has existed.

We have great material here on PON with great articles &:posts mixed with great debate. Long may it continue.

If the professionals have to resort to getting ideas from us amateurs.

Who are really the amateurs?
