The forum does not ban Verbatim plagiarism so why you guys and gales are so serious.

If you're caught plagiarising then you will be permenantly banned and text spinning is even worse because you obviously know you're doing something wrong and are actively trying to hide it.

WTF is that nutcase talking about? Of course you'll get banned if you're caught plagiarizing something verbatim--have you never looked at ban appeal threads in Meta before?

I can't stand SEO, and the use of text spinners is just one reason. The internet hasn't been the same ever since Google took over the search engine space and SEO folks went to work. I much preferred the internet circa 2000, but that's just me.

OP, are you saying (or implying) that Ratimov is guilty of text spinning in that Beginners & Help thread? You'll have to excuse me for asking that; I just woke up and am still drinking my coffee. But we've known for a long time that spinners have been a problem on the forum, though there have been some members who've proved themselves quite adept at sniffing out such plagiarists.
