    I'd expect that most posts are either copied from emails or other sites… (unless a Rep posts)

    Especially since you have posted none … or is this a new account to attack others?

      Most like a ghost account, they're now in the penalty box…

        Not sure if it was sockpuppeting, but just a useless post, jv's response covered it well.

  Almost all deals added by Monty.melb are copied from TopBargains. There's nothing wrong in sharing deals from other sites but copy/pasting deals word by word from other deal sharing sites is completely wrong.

  See this thread with many links: http://www.topbargains.com.au/forum/submission-time-deal-hig…

  Hopefully mods at OzBargain take notice of this.

    Hi ozval221 everyone here either copy deals from email or other sites. I don't think so you can create a bargain yourself. but if your concern is about copy paste deals word to word I appolozise for that and next time I will Make sure to edit deals. If you have any other question feel free to ask cheers.

      I wouldn't worry too much. My only gripe is this deal doesn't show the % saving or before prices.

        Hi Click_it, all the price shown are half price as per the deal says Half price coles special.

        Edit: Before price = Just Double it
        % saving = 50% for all displayed deals.

      Hi ozval221 everyone here either copy deals from email or other sites.

      nothing wrong with copying from original/primary sources eg. store catalogues/emails, but to do from other secondary sites which refer to those original ones without acknowledgement is plagiarism :(

      if your concern is about copy paste deals word to word I appolozise for that and next time I will Make sure to edit deals.

      thanks - no need to edit, just quote the source :)

    It's best practice to cite your sources especially if they are direct quotes. I can't even tell you the amount of times in Uni this was hammered into us. Not just bargain sites but other forums and blogs. I usually put Via [Website]
