Tinker a little with the number of words and the threshold for detection of duplicates, and you're probably almost there for a large share of the copy-pasta spam.

I'm more worried about the very high number of positive results. Let me play around a bit with yesterday's data, from post 45850092 up to post 45893434. My scraper caught 43184 out of 43343 posts (it misses some burst posts). This is after the new Merit requirements, so there's less spam already.

I'll show the 50 most used posts (raw HTML excluding quotes; the number at the start of each line shows how often they appear). Those posts are exactly the same each time they were posted:

Code:

288 (post was empty or only a quote)

   6 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT INBOT FUTURE :

   6 A request to prospective clients, please post a message on the forum thread first to keep the thread alive and then make a contact using above mentioned contacts for prompt response.

For users in China/Hong, they can also contact via QQ.

The first line is my own description. It's mainly caused by bounty spammers: they quote their own old post, then edit it to add their latest bounty report spam. My scraper catches the posts before they're edited.

This doesn't really catch plagiarism, but it catches spam. When you're looking for word phrases to detect plagiarism, you're likely to get even more hits than this.

The second entry came from Cidonar, who bumped this thread 162 times. That board shouldn't allow deleting posts within 24 hours, but it does.
The user isn't banned, as he deleted the evidence.

The third entry ("Proof of Authentication") came from many different users in this thread. I've just reported a few asking to check the thread.

The sixth entry ("microguy talks to himself") came from BitCoin ranger, who had 24 posts deleted by moderators.

Manually going through this list is a lot of work, while there aren't many posts to report. It's not very effective to do.
