It has come to my attention that someone is copying posts from other bloggers and make some changes to her own and passed it as original.
Well, you know who you are. I coached you because I took pity on you. Blardy hell, this is another one of those things that come right smack back on me when I try to be kind to people. I taught you how to earn money but you have gone too smart.
You pissed me off and if not for your little baby, I would have shamed you in my blog, report you to the company concerned and get you booted out. Don’t mess with me because I can be very vile when people took my kindness and gave themselves a bad name instead. This indirectly gave me a bad name.
I have all the proofs and the screenshots of how you steal people’s content and passed it as yours. All of us worked our brains off to get things done the moral and correct way. We don’t take things from another mom and claim it as ours. Where is your integrity? Do you feel happy taking money that you earned through cheating? Do you dare to spend that money on your child and feel happy about it?
To those moms whom you feel she has fleeced off your content, do the right thing. Take the screenshot and mail it to the company. Otherwise, it won’t stop. I have proof of three blogs which she took the content from. I am not going to do the dirty job now but I may if this goes on. And the repercussion is great. Even those whom had been fleeced may get the bad name. So, do it first. Get people who steal contents out of the system. It helps us all in the long run.
Like I said earlier, to be a good blogger, you have to be part of the loop. One wrong move and you can cause the whole blogsphere to shun you. And it is no fun being a blogger with no supporters. Remember that the blogsphere is very close knitted and everybody knows everybody. And anyone who pissed off 5xmom is asking for it.
Let me count the number of things I had helped you:
1) I helped you got through breastfeeding with my FREE forum
2) I helped you deal with a troubled marriage
3) I taught you how to start to earn money, from applying for a debit card to signing up to almost everything
4) I gave you motivation to stand on your feet as a woman and not some spineless woman whose husband will not give permission for you to spend just RM200 to get your domain, will not lend you his credit card to activate your PayPal
5) Most of all, I gave you a chance to feel proud as a person
Then, what do I get? Not even a cent to donate to the Mothering Mothers project. It is only RM20 for goodness sake! I provided the forum for free and all I expect is this once a year participation, which also won’t benefit MMB as group. Just a little donation to cheer up the moms for you to them.
In other words - I get a big smack for being kind. Fuck.
ADDED
Since you all so 8poh/koong, here is the lead to the person.

Anyway…. you’re right. When I write my PPP, I rack my brains to write a good one..even if it’s a USD5.00 one. So..if someone were to plagerise .. I’d tumbuk the fella! Blogs are public…but don’t be stupid la…don’t be lazy la..don’t copy!!!

And hor, you got see how she replied to shoppingmum? And the so called apology on her blog. Now, it become we are the aggressors and she is the victim wor. Niamah, I spent so many emails and time, slowly guide her and now when ppl complain, I must be the tai kar jeh and take the responsibility and speak up mah. If not I become the devil advocate, encouraging ppl to do dirty dealings.

Lilian, I’m not trying to act smart nor someone to tell you what to feel. I know you’re frustrated, but you can’t control other human on what they’re doing right? I just hope that you don’t get too angry over this kind of person, just let them rot to hell. I don’t think she’ll succeed in her life too if she can do thing like this. Sorry if I offended you.

like that also can??? According to other links that I found after clicking on the link you gave, she even copies tags?? -.-
Anyway,after this incident, will you stop helping people when it comes to writing about paid post? Hee, was thinking of asking for your advice or something since I wanted to try this out. Mana tau I can afford my very own Sony-Cyber Shot T100 from that. Besides I am finishing my STPM end of this year. Looking for chances to earn more money apart from working part time.

Wah…1st time see Lilian so “garang” but I guessed she’s right about this copycat thing. I was also under someone’s suspicion before…haha…right AP?? But I proved him wrong. Anyway, blogging is fun but if it’s under the expense of others to gain more traffics or worst gain more money…it’s definitely a NO NO.
I would like to advise this person to step forward to give Lilian a public apology, since she was the one who has guided you from rags to riches. She won’t hang you or even report you to the authorities. If she has the intention of doing so, she would have done that in her 1st paragraph here. We are human and human makes mistakes. If mistakes are rectified at the beginning stage, relationships won’t be that sour later on. So be brave and come forward to apologize. It will avoid worst consequences in near future…

I do notice though, that the grammar she used on her paid posts and her personal ones are different. anyway, hope she can own up to mistakes if guilty, as it seems like in the blog she’s done no wrong.

Lilian,
this kinda VERY BIG issue of the year in blogsphere. i (well my singapore friend actually from a cupcakes group in flickr) faced the same problem recently. i found-out a local cupcake makers copied Trish’ design and proudly baked about 1000 pcs for a reality show. the best thing is she was so happy to receive many compliments from people, wz the guts never put a single credit for Trish. i warned her in her comment box (2nd comment). unfortunately she delete my comment. she even blocked my ip address. thus i email her to warn her again, with cc to Trish and many other forum friends, not forgetting those people who left compliments to her. i also posted something on both of my blog, hope that she understood. if not, she will get it from us.
walaweii!!!….
what say you Lilian?
regards,

“And it is no fun being a blogger with no supporters.”
Hi, not trying to offend you, also not trying to act smart here too , since you have many supporters
, but i just want to let u know (in a kind way) , there are some bloggers who don’t need supporters and still find it fun.
Plagiarize is BAD! hopefully they stop it sooner. …. being popular is just… like HOLLYWOOD stars. Foreseeable …. pictures, words, stories being copied, pirated. Although it is illegally wrong, still many people doing it ,
feel sorry and good luck!
