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.
OP is full of shit... he "discovered" text spinning after it's been debated, reported, and users have been banned for it for years.
As for Ratimov, his texts are clearly translations, not spinning. His attributions are questionable. He provides sources but also makes it sound like verbatim-translated words are his own and claims that 90% of content on this forum is copy-pasta. I don't think this is helping his case but that has pretty much nothing to do with what mdayonliner is babbling about.
