WPMUdev blog article has a couple links that actually belong to WPExplorer ( that look like http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wpexlorer.com&#x2F;go&#x2F;referal-site-slug  and are redirecred to WPExlorer referal link), which made me WPMUdev is copy-pasting at least some of their content from around the web.<p>So I decided to let WPExplorer know, and tweeted @WPExplorer. Soon after, I discovered, that WPExplorer is actually following me, so I deleted the tweet and sent a DM on Twitter instead.<p>The next day, suddenly @WPMUdev on Twitter wakes up and starts asking me to provide the link of the article to &quot;further investigate the accusation&quot;. To which I politely declined a couple of times. At the time I didn&#x27;t realize that the link has been long cached in archive.org and I wanted to give WPExplorer time to decide on his own what to do about that before WPMU &quot;inspects&quot; the issue.<p>I&#x27;m very disappointed seeing such behavior from a huge site like WPMUdev. I was under the assumption that copy pasting articles was what low level &quot;SEO hacking&quot; sites do, not the &quot;big guys&quot;.<p>Isn&#x27;t this shameful amongst blogs and websites ? Is it okay to publish &quot;inspired&quot; ( or copied ) content without mentioning the original author ?<p>As @TimothyBowers said, I could have emailed them directly, but instead I started a public conversation ( https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;TimothyKBowers&#x2F;status&#x2F;666362562666172417 ). Because of it I guess I am obligated to provide WPMUdev with all the details that they require or they won&#x27;t leave me be on Twitter. Well - You wanted it public, you got it.<p>Twitter conversation: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;justnorris&#x2F;status&#x2F;666363207557189632
