what is plagiarism:
plagiarism is simply considered as the act of claiming the works/ideas of another which typically is considered as an act of fraud.
steemchurch community isn't a place where anyone can just come and get reward, the reward should be proportional to him/her works rather than stealing someone else's work/idea which is considered as plagiarism.

2- To create a platform of originality of articles,ideas and comments on the steemchurch community.
