Yes, it is an objectively ban-able offense but only when it is done due to some financial motivation, doing it unknowingly or unintentionally without having any motives to spam or harm the forum makes it reconsiderable and objectively not an offense in specific cases.
Where did you get that? Is there any official (unofficial) rule to quote here or is it just your subjective opinion?
- Plagiarism: If you copy some text from somewhere, then you should have a good reason for it, and you must link to the source. Doing otherwise is plagiarism. Changing a few words around doesn't matter. If we find that you plagiarized, then you absolutely will be permanently banned, even if we find it years after you did it.
Nice to see you caring about objectivity around.
Aren't we all supposed to? Or do you have something against objectivity?
