@Ekta : Small tip when it comes to blogging.... Its pretty much like travel; its not about the destination. The great affair is to move. The same way, write for the passion of it and not for the contests.And who knows one day your passion; am sure will shoot up on the winners list.Wink

Good Luck!Cool

Exactly. It's about the posts, it's about the blog, it's about us.

Everything else is secondary! Cool

Sorry once again people. Frown We've sent the list back to Colgate, it didn't pass our quality check (there wasn't enough emphasis given to creativity). There was one plagiarist, but that's not really a big issue in terms of time taken to replace him. We'll let you know as soon as we have an update, but I personally feel this is going to take a few days at the least!

TechChumz

Renie, I really appreciate the efforts you guys are putting in to ensure fairness sic "(there wasn't enough emphasis given to creativity)" And also the way you're doing your best to catch plagiarists.

FYI, even in the non contest posts, I sometimes see entire paras ripped off from another blog.

At the same time, I feel you could do more. I think it is ok for a company to award posts which are promoting the products a lot as long as they are very creative and fulfil the purpose, and all Indibloggers who win are doing a very good job in that they do meet the required contest description very creatively in addition to promoting the product.The problem lies with the company not stating it is looking for a big part of the post to promote its products!!

I think (hypothetical example) it's wrong for a deodorant company to write in the contest description that we should describe who we would love to dance with and for what reason, and then award prizes to people who praise the deo. Let them frankly state we should promote the deo.

In fact, if the company deliberately shuns self promotion and gives prizes solely based on creativity, we Indibloggers can publicize it as a honest and ethical company. Please drill it into the companies Renie. This promotion stuff is really going too far.

Oh Gosh! Not again. 

@Renie : But am happy, IB is taking things seriously but just not accepting anything and everything from sponsors.We've waited this long, am sure we can wait a little longer.

Cheers Cool

Plagiarists are stupid... why don't they realise that the copy-paste technique doesn't work and never worked. They should remain content in their plagiarism holes and with their plagiarising friends applauding each other... but then they become ambitious and want to win contests!

I do hope Indiblogger will weed out plagiarists from the Awards nominations too.

Shaumik Daityari

You know catching plagiarism few years ago must have been a bit more difficult. You would need to search the exact sentence/para in double quotes in Google.

Nowadays, there are so many tools to measure the amount of plagiarism in your articles, it's utter stupidity to copy-paste anything! And that too for contests...
