I honestly can not understand why many users find it so difficult to indicate the original source.

Bitcointalk is the only forum I frequently visit that even cares about plagiarism, and in many cases it's just very convenient to quickly show a certain text.

My experience is exactly the same, bitcointalk is the only forum that I know where plagiarism is taken seriously. But, even on other forums, reputable and experienced members simply don't plagiarize (and when I say they don't plagiarize that means they are also formatting copied text properly) no matter the rules. That is just matter of basic posting etiquette and I wish more people realize that.

That would be a great idea. I honestly can not understand why many users find it so difficult to indicate the original source.

I see at least two reasons:

Ignorance. For many this is the first forum they ever used so they don't know what's the proper way to deal with copied material and how to format copied text properly.
Merit fishing. If you indicate right from the beginning that what you are sharing is copied material, chances for merit goes down.
