Indeed, obviously this account feels too entitled to follow the rules of this forum.  Roll Eyes
It's a disgrace to every quality poster providing good content that people like @thandie keep abusing the rules.
I do not speak German to get into the essence of what is happening, and I did not delve into the report two weeks ago, but the above-mentioned report will not lead to a ban since the author unambiguously stated the authorship of another person.

People have to follow the rules and this Account is violating Plagiarism policy deliberately and repeatedly, especially recently where he is also harassing Newbies in addition and he shows a lack of interest to follow the rules. He has not linked the original source of the article and that's expecially a deliberate offense because it's easy to do. Just imagine he has just copied it from there but didn't post the link. We can't read the context from his source as he hasn't provided a link where he copied it from.
Moreover, it's common sense to use Bitcointalk's internal quote function:

even this was't done by the accused Account same as quotation marks weren't used.

It's just another disrespectful incident of improper quotation and deserves an outright ban while people, even valuable forum members like RegulusHR, have been banned for less and were banned for a long time even after a big apology.


Moreover, I do not trust the reports of those people [so I don't understand why you sent -Lemming- 10 merit] who deliberately cut out quotes out of context and publish them as a plagiarism report, since there are enough inattentive people on the forum who tend to draw frivolous conclusions, (I highlighted in blue).

It's easy to verify and I always recommend to verify yourself. It's a known offender recently, so it would be nice if the rules are enforced.
And it's not true, there weren't any important parts of the text cut out by @-Lemming-.
I sent 10 Merit because it shows how valid and urgent this case of Plagiarism is.

Yes, posting Standards have gone done recently but that's not how it should be.
