   How can you be CERTAIN not to violate the duplication forbiddance?
   
   If you're not sure you've published a piece (poem) elsewhere, and you've done a line by line search of your other content per site, AND googled the title of the piece, can you be SURE that it is not a duplicate (of your own writing, of course!)?

   What you really have to worry about is writing on a topic that someone else on hubpages has already written about. If it is even a little similar, they will flag it as a duplicate.

      Thanks for answering.  Unfortunately, I've been flagged twice in the past 2 days for publishing stuff I forgot I had elsewhere, and could not find despite what I thought was WAAAY more than "due diligence".

   Stanwshura when you publish a hub here on hub pages the software used by hub pages will alert you immediately that your content is duplicated. So the thing to do is write your hub and publish it. As you press the publish button if the content is duplicated an instant warning will come up that says Hub Pages sees what you have submitted is duplicate content. If it is not duplicate content Hub Pages will publish it. If it is in any way duplicated the hub will not publish because Hub Pages will recognize the duplication and block it. Good luck.

   There are various ways to avoid this. Grammarly is one of the best online tools to detect whether your content is original or whether you have plagiarized someone else work. Alternatively you could run your paper through Duplichecker which is also a great way to check for originality. Alternatively you can write your hub submit it to hub-pages then cross your finger. The last option doesn't work for me...I feel it can be a waste of time to have to redo a whole hub after you have published. Register for grammarly or Duplichecker and let them do the hard work for you.
