- Copy-paste, this is when I find interesting material, and there is nothing special to add, it is beautiful and so, so I transfer it almost in its original form.
- This is a statement in your own words of the very essence of several other people's articles,
- This is a completely original topic, where I collect material from scratch. These are usually very large lists.
Some opinion:
  • It is not an academic forum.
  • I read in the past that the forum is the only one (not include academic forum) has a rule on plagiarism. Not sure about the correctness of this info. If yes, at least the forum is the first forum has such rule
  • The forum has its rule on plagiarism but it does not have a rule on Verbatim plagiarism. So why not skip the Verbatim plagiarism?
  • The willingness to share something is good but don't abuse it. I don't say you are abusing it either. Honestly, you are one of very good members on the forum. Topics you share are selective and have high quality. I admire you because of this. It means you are knowledgeable and have good selective process. I did not read most of them but say thanks by the way.
  • If you don't earn merit (in fact you earned a lot), no one cares about it. It means something.
  • If the style is not accepted, the forum (list of unofficial rules) needs to be updated and violations after that day will be judged and bans will be applied. For now, skip it and move on

I am not a fan of copy, paste, spin and mix original paragraphs and topic creator's opinion, honestly.

For the accusation on text spinning, translation, etc, I don't want to spend time to look at the complicated investigation.  Wink
