Just so everyone knows, Charlie "The Ghost" Rossi has been permanently banned from Action Wrestling. He was banned for repeated violations of plagiarism. We will NOT tolerate that here in Action Wrestling.
You all work too hard to come up with the amazing content for you to be cheated by some asshole stealing the work of other writers (in this case from books). To clarify, you can not re-use your old RPs as this is self-plagiarism. Oh and for anyone who tries to argue about self-plagiarism, don't waste your time. I worked in a library for 7 years. I know the ins and outs of research and paper writing. I know what you can and can't do when it comes to plagiarism and citing sources.
Anyone caught stealing work like this will receive a one-month ban. A second violation will result in a permanent ban from the boards. If you're doing it, you will eventually be caught so don't do it.
For further clarification on this issue, since I've been in feds where this has come up and people have been confused on what they can do, you CAN include quotes and such in your RPs as long as you're giving credit for it. Just keep in mind that the more you use of other people's work in your RP, the less chance your RP has of being judged as a winning RP.
If you have any questions about this, please let us know.

Congratulations STEVEN JAMES, you are the new Jack London.

Having a look, his writing during his shoots deemed pretty decent like.
If you're struggling with coming up with a story or anything don't do what this fella did. Even a classic 'John sits down in front of camera, eats a burger' and then the shoot is better!

so if for instance, we wanted to quote a movie could we do this or not.
Karlie addressing her opponent
Karlie: To quote John Nada( Roddy Piper's Character) from They live. I have come here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubblegum.

Just to clarify on the point of self-plagiarism, what is the opinion on flashbacks or prior conversation that holds relevance for a new RP?

If you want to reference movies, use quotes, and reference your own RPs for storytelling purposes, that's completely fine!
What Rossi did was copy and pasted 70% of his RP, used it again, not changing a single word, then shot on his opponent for a few hundred words and posted it. That's bad. He didn't even reference that he used it before, he was trying to be sly and get away with it.

I would assume, based on lack of warnings, that my method of quoting various historical figures is acceptable, then.
Good to know.

Honor has been the reward for what he gave." Calvin Coolidge I've seen things like this in your RPs. If you're referring to instances like these, yes this is fine. If you've ever written a college level paper and had to cite sources, it's similar to that. You have to give credit to whoever wrote it, but as I stated in the original post, if people take a large chunk of work from someone else and include it in their RP AND give credit, it's going to hurt you anyway as we want original work from your character. Like if 90% of your RP is you watching a scene from a TV show to get your point across, it's probably not going to go over well in the judging of your RP.

Let the whole roster stomp him out at Pandemic Nah, we treat it like WWE would treat it if their wrestlers got in trouble for serious offenses. We announce what they did and that it was wrong and then they're fired and removed from future shows.

......I was beaten by a thief of literature.....I demand the record books show reverse this!!! Dammit.
I read a lot of creepy work...it helps fuel the ideas. But its ideas, never final product. That's just...wrong.
