Could anyone explain what's going on here or give a link? I rarely visit Meta so what is this huge massacre about and who is behind it? Have copypasters finally got their due?

Will delete my post later if it is not welcomed here 

Everything is more or less explained in a few first posts, you just need to start reading from the beginning. In short, somebody is start reporting a lot of users, and considering number of reported / banned accounts he / she is probably using a bot for detecting plagiarism.

Somone's been very busy reporting copy and pasters.

Yeah someone was working on a tool like this one, I know who but I will not post the name maybe he/she wants to stay anonymous anyway

The person who is reporting them should probably just be made a mod and I've suggested so in the past. Seems silly us having to verify them and handle them all. It's quite time consuming.
