My Suggestion:
1. At least check bpip to see if user is autobanned before giving Merit.
2. Do check the previous post and topic because proof that user is plagiarizing is already provided at "November 13, 2018, 10:42:51 PM" at below post.
From one side it is good and on the other hand there is an adverse effect, when checking someone's post in a case like this.
I am sure the more regulations in tightening, the more someone blames it and makes trouble.
Note: If you mark all posts of each member by admin and mod, as Spam or move one container manually to the Spam folder, it may have to require hundreds of mods every 50 mod members multiplied by all thousands of members of the Bitcointalk, 50% of spam categories will increase being 150% worse is the downside. and analyze it to help protect users from spam and abuse for this convenience from positive effects.
The point: for this depends on how we respond to good and bad.
