Hello @bozz
First, welcome to the Project Hope community, second, great topic you brought for discussion.
The reality is that with the use of the internet the amount of plagiarism increased in an impressive way. Not just images, but text, ideas, and anything else you can copy.
In PH we have a permanent fight against plagiarism, however, there are those who abuse the system and it takes us a while to realize it, but sooner or later the truth comes out.
I particularly use images from PIXABAY, there are so many free image banks, I don't understand why people use copyrighted images, it's absurd, but it often happens.
Some time ago I did some publications on the use of images, besides how to cite sources, I found out other things.
Always when I get some fault of this kind in some author, I leave them the links, especially if they are new to the platform. Unless it's a blatant plagiarism, then it's immediately silenced. Because it can't be allowed, it shouldn't be allowed.
Every community, the platform in general must fight this problem, and the worst thing is that we know it will never end.
Thank you again for publishing in PH.
It sounds like you have a pretty great community here and have some awesome stuff in place to help combat the abuse.
