It is definitely difficult for Rennie and team to work on getting the deserving bloggers to get the prizes.

Today, there are couple of other contest results are also awaited. Good luck all of you. May the best win

Everyone is waiting anxiously for results and I am no exception. Only that i am used to the delays.

Is there any update on when the results will be up on the site? 

Bhakti Sharma

Since the results are not up as yet, guess we hve to wait until tomorrow or may be Monday!

and whom did hwe copy? sometimes same idea can creep in two different minds staying miles apart, so if the idea is same then its ok but if the post content is same alot, then its a matter of serious thinking.

how can you say the palagrist is He?

I don't think they would consider it "plagiarism" unless a huge part of the content matches. And by "huge" I mean at least a few paragraphs, if not the whole post!

Bushra M

No person (even a plagiarist) is as dumb to copy paragraphs word to word. Detecting Plagiarism is indeed a tough job. If i were to plagiarize somebody, i wouldn't copy his/her stuff word to word, his ideas+his content in my own words is what i would actually produce! So do you think this is not plagiarism anymore?!!!

Shaumik Daityari
from New Delhi |

The link that I just gave, where IB exposed that guy, he was that dumb- copy pasting the whole content. Even now, if you go to his blog, you would find copied content!

That being said, it's a very fine line too! Let's say for this contest, someone sees your post, and decides to include one or two guys from there. That way, if no sentences/phrases are being copied, there would always be a sense of deniability!

Bushra M

Ofcourse the characters can be similar. Several people in this contest have used the same characters. What infuriated me was the copying of the dialogues(Creative n infamous ones)and the concept and idea of the post.......and thank you for that link, as i am new to Indie, i wasn't aware of it. Seriously, the biggest plagiarsit i have come accross! He didn't even mind manipulating the content....people!

Shaumik Daityari
from New Delhi |

Copying dialogues unless they are known quotes by the character would be truly unethical.

Speaking of that, if you suspect anyone copied your content, search here (www.plagspotter.com) with your blog post- it should give you a fairly detailed post.

Canary
from Bangalore |

Giving them benefit of doubt because there are couple contests going on, assuming they have their hands full with announcing results?

Shaumik Daityari
from New Delhi |

I don't know how the IB team works, but announce the results of one contest at least!

Manas Mukul

Renie Ravin
from Chennai |

After dealing with all the plagiarists, those who made major changes to their posts after submission, and one post which was removed at the last minute, I think we're finally done! Smile Results should be out in an hour!

DS
from Mumbai |

Thanks for the latest update Renie.

DS
from Mumbai |

Read what you wrote again, this time more carefully. Were there more then 1 plagiarists? And how does Indiblogger detect if there were major changes made to the posts after submission?

Shaumik Daityari
from New Delhi |

@DS- For plagiarism, try plagspotter.com.

Bushra M
from Bangalore |

Many people edited their posts after submission, and Inditeam actually detected that? WOW!Cool

Renie Ravin
from Chennai |

@DS - yep there was more than 1. Their posts should go offline in a day or two. To detect major changes, we used a screenshot service on all the posts - the same service we're using for the IBAwards!

Shaumik Daityari
from New Delhi |

@Renie- Which service do you use for the screenshots? I am just curious because I never got a good enough API for it. For manual screenshots, I use this -> http://ctrlq.org/screenshots/

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

@SD Renie is using url2png.com.

Shaumik Daityari
from New Delhi |

@R- that works, but is not free Tongue out

I think I need on work on one myself.
