Could anyone explain what's going on here or give a link?
The whole thing is kinda self explanatory, someone or group of users could be bot nobody knows or maybe the moderators (handling the plagiarism reports) do know are reporting plagiarized posts in their numbers and as a result offender are punished with permanent ban for regular users and other users which can be considered as net positive amd good for the forum are giving less punishment (1-2years signature ban and temporary ban foe 60days)
But why now and why so many? Did they develop an automatic tool to check members' posts en masse, then moderators check suspicious posts manually and give out bans as required? Are there any false reports? In short, how does it work?
