Good idea, I think we should report the whole bounty board as plagiarism Smiley

Code:
foreach($forum_categories as $category_name => $category_values) {
if($category_name == 'Bounties (Altcoins)') {
foreach($category_values['posts'] as $post_id => $post_content) {
BitcoinTalkAPI::report($post_id);
}
}
}

Well that's done Wink (was gonna write it in python, but I've been coding with PHP all day so)

there are a lot of users who use actively bounty work & majority percent bounty post almost like same. Not only that script will detect similarity percentage so bounty post approximately 60/70% similar to each others. So how could it detected this script.

TBH, that's kind of the point. We'd have to determine a percentage of similarity that we agree is "report-worthy"; but I wouldn't be surprised if these scripts report a large amount of bounty users.

I'd just have to write a side-script to prevent users from just wrapping their messages in ["quote"] tags.
Quoted text isn't counted for payment for signature spammers, so they're unlikely to hide their plagiarism that way.

I guess, is that a standardized thing among all campaign managers though? I'm guessing eventually it would become rather obvious to them though. Definitely not a top priority script if required.
