Plagiarism

I find it extremely frustrating that anyone can take someone else's code and publish it as their own within seconds. A popular user might just save someone else's code and then get all the credit for it. Would there be any way to prevent this? I know it's not really imperitive or necessary; it's just annoying sometimes.

Well, you make your code public, so anyone can see and learn. You need to keep in mind that this is an educational app. Anything you publicly post is for others to learn from. If someone copies your code, he will get no where with programming, just get useless points and likes and stuff that won't get anyone anywhere.
