Lol. What strikes me about this case is that he is a Legendary member and does not wear a signature. What a way to ruin an account.

Yes, it's unbelievable how even Legendary accounts use this forum to post content but obviosly they are lacking at a basic level which rules are in place.

Proper quoting should be basics and I made a thread myself to point out how to quote properly but obviosly some Legendary members feel to entitled to care for the rules.
Even the edited version is a fraud: no quotation marks, no link to the original source (since it's an internet article) and no [quote /quotete] function.

Therefore, important reminder:

Plagiarism is not allowed and is a strong offense leading to a ban if you do it. Chances to get your account back are very low.
So please be careful and don't plagiarize by paying attention to:

Forum rules:

33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.^[e]
^[e]33. This includes both copying parts or the entirety of other users' posts or threads and copying content from external sources (e.g. other websites) and passing it as your own.
When copy-pasting content from sources outside the forum (Twitter, News etc) you need to provide a link to the original source. In addition, you should use the "quote" Function to show that it's not your original content:
Quote
If you find helpful information on Bitcointalk, it is sufficient if you simply quote this message directly, each message can be quoted with a function in the upper right corner (next to +Merit), as long as the thread is not closed. If it should be closed, copy the text, put it in quote and add the link to this message. You can get the link to the respective message by clicking on the title of the message (Re:...) and then copying it as url.
For translated contend, please ask the original poster for conset or at least add a link above the translated part, to show that it is not your original work.
Don't copy useless Shitposts for Signature Spam.

Still (Legendary) members don't care. Unbelievable sometimes. Roll Eyes

I can't read most of it, but doesn't this user need a heads up on the forum rules instead of a ban? He's not posting to earn money from his signature, and it doesn't look like he's the copied part is the only thing in his post.
Again, I can't read it, but it could be the forum isn't better off without him.

It's very common for the German section that some people feel too entitled to care for the rules. That's especially concerning because we have very high quality translations about forum ettiquettes, Trust an Merit etc and those translations are pinned (!).
There are quite a few other members which don't care a shit if we ask them to learn how to use this forum, how to quote - nothing.
At some point I believe it's just ignorance (or stupidity).
