These only happens when you're too desperate to get revenge.

Regardless of what the motives were in discovering these posts by Lauda, they still exist and were found--and there have been tons of members who've been banned for plagiarism they've committed years in the past. My question is: should those members have been allowed to edit their old posts with references and/or explanations in lieu of a ban? While Lauda claims that what he/she wrote must have been from memory, somehow I don't think Lauda would accept that as a valid reason for many of the plagiarists who've gotten caught--nor would a lot of the rest of us, for that matter.

If Lauda doesn't get a ban, it would certainly appear (to my eyes, at least) he/she's getting a pass on this whereas other members have been banned mercilessly with no chance to retroactively correct omissions of citations. I'll definitely be watching this one.

Call me an ass licker all you want but I'm just going to remind you of theymos' opinion of situations like this (it's about DT but I think it can also be used for reporting cases):

No, it can't. Plagiarism is one of very few things that theymos has zero tolerance for (except for account buyers).

If we find that you plagiarized, then you absolutely will be permanently banned, even if we find it years after you did it.

Both of these speak every word that needs to be said from me on the subject of Lauda.

I have silently watched things unfold; and seen both baseless and true accusations from and about this person.

I'm on the feeling of: the way those edits were made: were to achieve the objective of providing substance as to make a post; rather than reference people correctly to the information.... passing it on as themselves.

This is a massive no-no in any respect.

My cards are on the table. I wonder where the chips will go.
