Plagiarism on ChristianFriend.com
I've been seeing a lot of blog posts that are actually plagiarized from other sources.
Folks, you MUST stop doing this. It is STEALING.
If you see something you like then you should ask the author if you can repost it. If the author says ok then you may post it as long as you give CREDIT to the person who wrote it and provide a link to where the original resides.
If I see a person plagiarizing I will not only remove the post but I will ban the account. It is YOUR responsibility to obtain permission from the author and to give proper credit.
Starting now we are adopting a no tolerance policy against stealing of articles.

Praise the LORD!!!
Several years ago I got onto my step son for doing it. He blatantly told me that this is how they're taught to write reports in school these days. Sure enough, when I asked his teachers about it they said that it's how they do things now, since it's the information age, nothing is sacred!

Comment by Steve Zomok on November 10, 2009 at 10:40pm - I am sorry to hear this. I do take material of my own from several other sites I'm a member of (Elderzomok on theJesustv.com and Pastorzomok on YCS, etc...) but I don't respect people that take the work of others and then put their own names on it. It suggests both a stealing and laziness..
