How annoying. And to think writers pour their souls in every word only for some 'ignorant' script-hacker to... to....

hey guys, just got a text from him, begging me to give him permission to repost the story while he acknowleges me. i dont like this... i had already deleted half of my story even here on nairaland. why would i want my yet unpublished story on facebook? bt what do u guys think, how do i handle this?

no, if u wnt ur work on fb then post it urself. U people shud take action against him very fast. How can he claim glory 4 another person's work. Infact i dey vex

Hey guys, am sorry I didn't actually visit the FB page. I was very busy yesterday. My comment was based on the fact that in the world of Academics "Plagiarism" is an offence that can be equated to Murder in the criminal world.
Frank and Mazi, you guys can actually take up this case to teach others a lesson, who think that claiming other people's work is "fun". If that guy is still a student, it could earn him a rustication or an outright expulsion if this Scandal get to the right people in his school.

ok... u just made a point the best i can do for him is to post my book on face book(which i am not ready to do now) and give him my link

I'm no writer but I can understand how you guys must feel.

Rather than taking the pains of deleting your stories and re-pasting them when a solution is found why don't you stick to the suggestion of pausing all writing?
In addition you could add a disclaimer at the start of your thread and at the end of each post. I noticed Efemena does this. That way anyone who shares your work won't plead ignorance and is aware that they are doing it without consent making them liable to receive whatever punishment is mete out to them.

This is only a suggestion and you writers are free to do what you feel is best with your story
I'm sure Seun is doing his best to come up with a solution to this.

Thank you dear...I have decided to go with the 'no posting till further notice.'

I don't know if this can be done on NL by Seun. But while I was still writing my Project, I noticed that there are certain materials on the Net that cannot be copied. Try as much as you can, it won't allow you to copy.
I believe that there is a kind of Protective Software that enables such, but I aslo know that those versed in software theft/ hacking can always get their way around it.
It's painful to have worked hard only for your work to be stolen.

This thread needs 2 b on frontpage. Aunty Cuddles?

U guys should storm his fb page n let his fans kw dat he steals his work. He already startd another story.

I think d page has been closed

If d f00l is reading this now, don't f**k with NLer's Writers.. With Pen, book, Phone, Computer and every other instruments of a writer, we'll fight till the end.. IT'S OUR WORK, OUR SWEAT..
A friend/colleague said,"NLer's Writter, What is our Occupation?" and I said, "WE WRITE, BUT IF YOU COPY WHEN NOT PERMITTED, WE KILL".

Don't ever give that thief copyright privileges to copy your work. He begged you because his facebook fans are pleading with him to continue the story.
Like I said before, he is an unrepentant soul, and if he doesn't bring down all the works he's copied from this site, he will have himself to blame.

Imagine him asking you to let him go on copying your work!

frank3.16:
. here are some of the stories that he copies, sorry, stole

1.Love life in campus.
2.Diary of a campus girl.
3.Legend of the hustler.
4.How jonah became a fish.
5.Lara's faith.
6.Razor tongue,
7.The Tenth Generation

Can you imagine!!!

I have asked Cuddlemii to provide me with the full details in an organised format so that I can make a final decision on what to do. Stay tuned.

Done

By the way, Mukina2 had all the necessary information.

Dear Mr seun

I would like to express my deep regrets for my actions and apologize for the wrong things i did. It was inappropriate, disrespectful and lacked the professionalism that you and dear members of nairaland expect from me here.Please allow me to apologize for the wrong things i did,i never knew.My behavior was extremely inappropriate, immature, and lacked the respect for you, and entire members deserved.

While I cannot alter what has transpired, I have taken steps to ensure that similar incidents and misunderstandings will not occur in the future.

I plead with a bleeding heart,i have brought discomfort to all members of nairaland,their heart are boiled with anger,i humbly ask for your forgiveness,plz
