I think google only takes action if DMCA comes in. Most typical copy pasting would be ignored. So if that DMCA notice comes in then site have no option that to move to another domain. Because in such case google de-indexes the site completely. So in order to avoid that they have to get rid of some of the spammers. This can be hard considering a…[Read more]

Thanks, @Mahesh, if that feature about friends will slow down the site, and if we will not earn from it, it is better not to have it at all.

@Cely,yes, I commented on one of her posts that she used my photos. She is a real plagiarizer!

I think a lot of those features may slow the site down. Because it runs as a plugin in WordPress. So more such features as expected above may slow the site down. And this may even in turn affect the site. So I don’t think it’s worth having such features. If these features were to be adding any revenue, I won’t mind. But at this point of time, it…[Read more]

I failed to put some watermarks in some of it; but I have one, a hibiscus flower, yellow and another red with my name on it. “acelawrites” was etched on the flower, but still another member here used it. It is just fine in one aspect because…[Read more]

Thanks @Mahesh and @Michelle for your replies. Yes, that’s it, I wish the admin will remove the Media Library so people can just look at Pixabay and other free photos online if they do not have personal files.

I think the best options people can do here instead is use the pixabay and unsplash images. This way the very issue of using personal photo does not come in. We do have some plagiarism issue. And we have to find those members and make them get removed from the site.I know many abusers who are just plainly copying the articles. So surely that can…[Read more]
