Copying/Plagiarizing Campaign Content

The Moderators grade content on how good quality it is. Some tips for certain types of content:

For Speeches and Debates, having a higher word count (As long as it isn't repetitive) and an edited image really helps you out with your speech. Make the speech good quality, and have sources in it.
For Posters, edit it a lot and make it look appealing and show a message. This is a higher quality.
For Press, make sure to make the praise of your party/allies subtle, but same rules apply as with speeches and debates.
