![]() This thread largely operates on the honor system, and tweaking someone else's work to pass it off as your own is one of the fastest ways to lose trust. To be clear, this doesn't violate site rules and won't lead to mod intervention, but just like if you directly plagiarize, no one will believe you've consumed the work if you're clearly basing your proposal on something else. Just because you don't copy and paste something directly doesn't mean it's any harder to detect if you're basing parts or all of your proposal on text someone else wrote. Using another site's work as a template for a proposal.If you already wrote something once before, it's not too hard to write it a second time. Even if you can prove that you wrote the same text in both places, the site itself can't contain any of the duplicated text. To be clear, quoting in some places is perfectly acceptable, but it has to be very clear you're quoting from something else and it cannot be anything longer than a sentence or two - if you're quoting an entire work summary from Wikipedia, no one is going to believe you've actually consumed the work, so even if you cite your source, your candidate will be downvoted anyway. This is not only the easiest to find, but is also the most likely to warrant quick moderator intervention. This is a very serious matter site-wide, as the website could get in actual legal trouble over this as a result, this can very quickly lead to mod intervention. If your proposal would fall outside of either of these guidelines, we'd like to ask you to please wait until they would fit within feel free to type them up on an outside document, and then when the time comes, you can just copy, paste, and post! ![]() There should only be a maximum of four EPs posted both per page and per hour to ensure that nothing gets lost in the shuffle additionally, each individual troper should only be proposing or writing up characters from a maximum of three works at a time (from initial proposals to end of their voting period).
