My sincere greetings to all parishioners and apostles of the Hive account@steemchurch, and also to the founder of this great community. I am so happy for latest initiative of the great Hive account@sirknight, which is the Hive account@steemcourt. This initiative as a matter of fact is a great deal for me. Now the Hive account@steemchurch would have rules and regulations to make it more accommodating to all.

First of all the main reason we all signed on steemit.com is to add value to the blockchain through our writing of quality and original post totally written ourselves, while we get rewarded or acknowledged by people and communities on the blockchain through upvotes and comments. This aim like we all have experienced, always first seem impossible because of the lack of upvotes we get even through our carefully written posts. This made us realize that we have to spend a very long time on the blockchain to increase our chances of getting upvotes. But then came Hive account@sirknight. With him knowing that new Christians on the blockchain needed encouragement, came up with initiatives to help reward quality post devoted to God. And with time he came up with the first church on the blockchain, the Hive account@steemchurch.
Now this leads to my main point. As most of us would have noticed, the Hive account@steemchurch is faced with the problem of plagiarism, especially in the comment section. The comments section is normally use to interact with the author of a post, stating contributions, knowledge gained, encouragement and any question concerning the post. But this isn't the case for plagiarizers. They spam the post with plagiarized comments. This act should be noted and thoroughly punished. I enjoy reading through resteemed Hive account@steemchurch posts and also commenting on them, making the the author know that it isn't only the Hive account@steemchurch reps who resteemed and commented on it acknowledges the quality of their post. Many times while I do this, I see comments which do not relate to the post or just quotation of a part the same post with a line of sentence written under it and also plagrized comments from other post. All this discouraged me from continuing to comment on post. I only just read and leave which is not suppose to be the case. This is the reason I am so happy for the inception of the Hive account@steemcourt.

My Suggestions on How to Stop Plagiarism on @Steemchurch Posts

Plagiarizers in this are those seeking rewards from a post which they don't care to read or understand. This act should be discouraged by giving penalty for those involved. Here are suggestions on how to stop them;

1.. Authors of a post should always check the comment section on their post for spammed or plagrized comments. When they find any, they should reply with a note of warning to the guilty party.
2.. This warning should be considered as a strike to the party involved.
3.. When any party has gotten up to three(3) strikes, there should be a strict penalty for that party served to them by the Hive account@steemcourt. In this case, I suggest flagging the party's account.
4.. Counting strikes will prove to be a Herculean task for the Hive account@steemcourt, so I suggest that there should be witnesses who will go through all Hive account@steemchurch related post and forward the names of parties issued with a note of warning by the author of the post. And when a name is reported up to three(3) times, action can then be taken.
5.. Authors using any Hive account@steemchurch related tags should be willing to help the Hive account@steemcourt fish out spammers and plagiarizers.

These are my suggestions, and I do hope they prove to be helpful in stopping plagiarism in this community.
