Evidence

[—so very much evidence!—]

What a shame in the eyes of wolves!


Why was wolwoo recently so concerned about meticulously avoiding plagiarism, or even improper citation of sources?  Did it just slip his mind that he has a history of blatantly ripping off non-forum articles for his posts?

[—long explanation—]

I don't want to be accused of plagiarism

I doubt that you will be, given that you identified the author by name, you linked to his post, and (insofar as I can see in your Turkish post) you did not imply that you produced this work yourself.  I make the foregoing suggested improvements because it seems you really want to do this right.

Plagiarism is a matter of stealing credit for another’s work.  If an ordinary reasonable person reading your post would not assume that you wrote it yourself, and would not think that you claimed to write it yourself, then I do not think that you plagiarized the other post.


thank you for your interest and detailed explanations

today a Turkish user said he was banned for spam-plagiarism
where can we find out exactly why? he wants to appeal.

From what I can understand, coinforumgentr was translating articles with Google Translate into turkish.
And apparently Gospodin tried to warn him, but too late.


Thank you for your answer Sir
it is necessary to be more careful about this

Cue excuse:  “I just don't remember when I did this shit!”
