I hope this question is not too dumb: Is copying content from another website also considered plagiarism?

If yes, i found only one post from July 2017 that clearly got copied.

Copied: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1782724.msg20085279#msg20085279
Original content: http://www.etudes-fiscales-internationales.com/media/02/00/1590489700.pdf

Though i want to say that every other post seems to be written in OP's own words with no signs of plagiarism or spam.
If i may share my opinion about this case: a signature ban should be enough.

Hi, there is no such thing as a dumb question.


This "message" has already bring brought forward and deemed not to be a plagiarism,
At best a mistake not using "  "

What I write in french is :
"I am not in any of the 16 below cases
1)
2)
3)"
...


See this part of my very first message on top of this thread

SNIP~
As this has been the case in my previous thread (locked) about messages that were not plagiarised, just poorly written (like this example brought by Xal0lex , and explained as not plagiarized by Vit05)~SNIP

Thanks

Plagirism.does.not only consist of copy and pasting word for word. It is the idea that should one look for when you think that a post was being plagiarized.

Now, if OP add some of wordings and combine it with the article and it as reference. then there could be no problem at all. But, OP owning the idea then it is considered as plagiarism.

Here in the forum,  posting a short thread or post might be hard to identify as plagiarism of course some of us may have the same opinion at the time the reply was posted.
