@grecy095/

true, that is why I am not writing at Hubpages now until something is done with the plagiarists  who had  copy and paste my hubs at Expertscolumn.

very sad and disappointed, no hope left.

@peachpurple so this one happened recently alone? I felt bad after someone stole my account. It is hard to create a blog and that is more than a thousand words blog so it is not easy to do and someone just freely stole it because they do not know that is against the rule of writing online.

Those copyright violators are gone. They are gone with the wind. They were taking chances to get unnoticed of their fraudulent acts. They were thinking that everyone here is a novice. They were assuming that they could fool anyone here. They were confident that those articles they had posted taking from the original sources wouldn’t identified. They believed that they can fool the “monkeys” here. Yes, they do but only once.

@grecy, we have to thank the site admin  for their prompt action also thank yourself for seeing tight away your stolen post. These thieves are like virus. It is so important to know ahead before they spread their toxic interest.

@lovern I am very thankful for them. I hope the IP addresses will get block too because for sure they will come back by a different name. Now I get to be aware of the new members of the site that is not posting their picture before adding them as friends or accepting their friend’s request. I am just being careful and not being snobbish because some new users are not there to earn but to ruin the site.

@grecy095 I think their IP addresses are blocked, that is why you cannot login!

That is one of the side effects of blocking IP addresses because so many of you in the region use the same network.

I do think Philippines have to improve on the internet infrastructure.

That is the government’s or the new government’s rather, the first one they will going to solve. They will going to solve the slow internet and IP issues because they are aware that there are business and freelancers everywhere in the country.  I think my IP is block, so it need to be put on white list manually by the support of each of my sites. @scheng1

@grecy095 Actually I do not worry about you, because you know who to contact, and what to do when you cannot login.

I am thinking about those who want to join the site, but their IP addresses get blocked.

A few friends from Bitlanders told them they cannot sign on because of this, so they wrongly assume that Literacybase is not accepting them.

June 12, 2016 at 7:21 am

@scheng1 yes I came to think that way too. What if there are lots of members who wants to join the site but they can’t get in. The contact page of the site is visible because during the time that I can’t log in, I click the contact button and email the support from it, however, I did not get any reply from them. I wonder if the support able to received my email to them when I cannot log in.

Now this is the question @support can you received an email when someone click on the contact tab or button? Of course you do, I am just asking, however, for sure there are some members especially in my country might be joining the site but since we have this kind of issue, their IP might be the same cases as mine, how can they use contact page when they are not a member of the site?

@support I think looking forward, you can let all new users type in their Paypal address.

When they become spammer or plagiarist, you can ban according to their Paypal address and not IP address.

It is very unlikely that a person has two different Paypal address, and once they have put in the Paypal address, make it a condition that they cannot change.

@grecy, I am so  thankful sis that problem was solved or else they, ( if they are many) continue to play havoc to this site and we will be affected.

June 12, 2016 at 8:30 am

@scheng1 I agree, because you cannot change you Paypal easily. They can verify through Paypal if the user do exists on their system.

@lovern I think this problem will go on and on because my IP is giving different address, I mean the last number is a series so I will be having some problems in the future and I will be needing the help of support from time to time, @ruby3881 as the middle man because I can’t contact them through contact page.

June 12, 2016 at 8:36 am

@grecy, hi sis? I am thankful and happy to know you can log in no and your flu gone hehehe. Let us hope that person of lost interest to himself finds treatment to his mental malady copying works of others and sell to other sites. May his idiocracy  turn all to him. May he land in hell.

@grecy095 and @scheng1 Here in Canada it’s very easy to add email addresses to a PayPal account. you can easily add or remove addresses, and if you give these to a site like LB, all they will see is the address you supply. They wouldn’t know if it’s connected to a PayPal account they already banned. So banning by PayPal is not reliable.

I have moderated groups on dozens of websites over roughly 20 years, and the only reliable method for preventing mischief is close monitoring of new members. Any automated method – be it moderating posts, blocking IP addresses, barring people from countries that have a high incidence of abuse, etc. – will always have an unintended negative impact on some honest people. And we have seen the proof here, that the cheaters will always find the loopholes.

Placing new members on strict moderation and allowing trusted members more freedom is the most effective way to prevent spam, plagiarism, trolling, and other forms of abuse. Most people who are going to commit abuse will not stick around long enough to jump through the hoops. And once someone has gone through the process of working to be removed from moderation, they generally won’t abuse.

I have already suggested this to @support as a means to prevent abuse and keep content publishing more smoothly. I’m disappointed that it didn’t even get a response, but not all that surprised. Every new site owner thinks they can do better than the last guy, but they all end up repeating at least some of the mistakes that have already been made elsewhere. Fear of losing control is a big factor. But few site owners can see when they are already losing control…..

@ruby3881 Agree.  As long as strict monitoring of newbies is implemented, that will cut down on the risk of honest ones not getting access.

I think sooner or later a team of moderators has to come onboard to monitor the activities of the new ones.
