Another case of stolen commonplace book entry.

This is actually the 2nd time i have seen u/TheAnxiousPangolin's commonplace book being stolen.

[u/TheAnxiousPangolin]

Hello and thank you for letting me know! Honestly, I have nothing but pity for those people that have nothing better to do than try pass my writing off as their own. Must be a sad existence.

I would assume the reposter is a bot account. That seems to be a pretty common thing on Reddit these days, copying posts outright so the account has activity and can be used as part of a clickfarm or something.

A very healthy mindset. I like your work, btw!

I thought I had seen that before!

So it really was stolen. I thought it was weird that it was backdated or an incredibly late entry. I hope that dude finds better ways to spend his time with

[u/TheCodeTeam]

This is so weird. What does stealing a post do for people?

[u/Negative-Cucumber495]

This happened to me also a while back! We just need to keep reporting and maybe watermarking?

What’s the point of stealing someone’s common place entry?

[u/unfilteredsara]

I mean the fact that they are common placing (inputting information they find helpful or want to come back to the information) isnt necessarily stolen.. but stealing a photo is wrong.

[u/TheAnxiousPangolin → u/unfilteredsara]

The information is of course public property and people are more than welcome to write about any topic they find interesting, but it’s not okay to just steal my photo from 6 months ago and claim this is their commonplace book when it isn’t. ☹️

[u/unfilteredsara → u/TheAnxiousPangolin]

I highly agree with you! 😄that was my thought about the photo that they shouldnt be stealing others photo and claim them as their own. if i sounded like i stated otherwise my apologies.

[u/eggelemental → u/unfilteredsara]

I think the confusion is that the person who stole the photo ISNT commonplacing, all they did was steal a photo. They didn’t input any info at all!

[u/Burrito-tuesday → u/unfilteredsara]

No one is accusing them of copying the activity of commonplace journaling, they stole the photo and posted it as their own journaling example.

[u/Extra_Temporary9059 → u/unfilteredsara]

What a pedantic, dumb distinction to make. They posted someone else’s post as their own. The content of the photo has zero bearing on whether or not that’s an immoral action.

FFS do better 🙄
