      Well caught Susan!
      
      I went through his list and while there are none of mine that I can see there, has nicked a huge amount of hubs, many of which were recently in the hot hubs list.
      
      Edit: checked again and yes he has one of mine. DMCA getting filled out right now.

      Thanks, Susan.  I hate to be obtuse but I can't see where his articles are listed.  I can't figure out Triond, really.  I only see his profile and his list of friends, no content. 
      
      Can anyone enlighten me?

   They are a PR 5. HP is a PR 6.
   
   They only accept original content (supposedly), that has never been previously published elsewhere on the net. So they're not even any good to use for hub zero-traffic leftovers that one might want to try moving somewhere else. And they only pay 50%.

    He stole one of my hubs yesterday, and I took immediate action.
    
    While I agree with the fact that he might be gone from Triond, my article is still over there, in full copy-pasted glory.
    
    I let the employee know that I'd be back later to check on the article...
    
    Anyways, just want to take a moment to thank my fellow hubbers, especially Writer Fox who helped me deal with that problem.

    Question to all who had articles stolen - did you get a Duplicate Warning on your stolen hubs?
    
    Just wondering how I can stay on top of theft, other than manually checking all my Hubs with Google or Copyscape.

       Judi Beeposted 13 years agoin reply to this

       No, I got no warning.  Marisa Wright has a thread in the "make a suggestion/report a problem" forum in which she suggests that HubPages discontinue the checker since it apparently only checks your hubs when your traffic is over a certain level. 
       
       Clearly, my traffic hasn't hit that level (no surprise there then!)  I take Marisa's point that the promise of a duplicate warning lulls you into a false sense of security.  If it doesn't appear, you assume all is well.  But it isn't. 
       
       So, best thing to do is make your own arrangements for checking, in whatever way is best for you.

    I got a duplicate content warning...shortly before my hub got unpublished although it clearly pre-dated the offender's copy-pasted clone. However I already cleared this up with Hubpages and my hub has been republished. Now I'm trying to get the copied article taken down from Triond.
