05. Concerning Plagiarism
Plagiarizing is a crime that every author, be it for play or for a career, hopes to never endure. It's violating and horrible to experience. As such, if you plagiarize another member on site (proof will be needed here), you will be given a verbal warning. If it's determined that a member has plagiarized another and issues are made, formal warnings will be doled out, followed by temp bans depending on how much trouble is made.
Basically, if you are accusing someone of plagiarism, be sure to have proof. If you have none, there's nothing we can do. If you are being accused of plagiarism, we will do our best to make sure that the accusations are indeed justified and not someone being overly sensitive over a similarity. We will try to make sure that both parties are treated fairly and that the proper actions are taken. So, if such an instance occurs, both sides will be listened to objectively prior to judgment and proof will be needed in order to even remotely do anything. And if you are accusing and it's determined that you're being sensitive, please understand that we aren't making this call lightly. Just as if you are accused and it's determined that you have indeed plagiarized, again, we aren't making this call lightly.
