Re: Do you think some plagiarism can happen "by mistake"?
In this I do not agree with you at all. You are basically telling two criminals to hide the evidence of the crime, so to speak.
It is rather inappropriate to compare plagiarists with criminals. Let's put them in jail.
That's why I said "so to speak", lol.
What's your vision? Stop the spread of plagiarism by removing it and correcting the user who made a mistake so that he understands that it is not worth doing this, or in any case, make sure that he is banned forever, despite the fact that he is ready to correct himself and continue to be a part of the forum? I choose the first option.
My vision is that if it is a minor case, which happened only once, I could accept that person being given a second chance. But if it happened repeatedly, 3, 5, 10 times or more, I prefer to ban him and never come back. There are a majority of us who do not cheat.
But it's not so much my view as Sir Theymos', I understand he doesn't tolerate plagiarism very much, although he lets the odd mild case pass.
