we as the reader can't assume anything, we have no idea if a poet is trying to pass another poet's words as their own. if you don't attribute a passage from another poets work to them when you write a poem, you will be deemed to be plagiarizing said poet. it isn't about people recognizing their quotes or not, it's about making it clear it's another poets work and not your own. it's okay if it's a homage poem that rewrites the work of say shakespeare or someone else but if we use their words we must attribute. two people have already been banned for not doing so. so just to be clear, bans all round for plagiarism. we're fine if you quote and attribute, we're not fine if you quote and do not attribute. /admin
