I don't know what criteria is being used here. Perhaps the paraphrasing chaps are being forgiven?
If I recall well, I think I used to see some text spinning guys getting banned too before.

Thanks for updating that.

"Paraphrasing" was never forgiven before, and I do hope that there hasn't been some behind-the-scenes policy change with Theymos and the moderators as far as that goes, because paraphrasing someone else's content is basically text-spinning, even if you don't use a bot to do it--in other words, it's still plagiarism, plain and simple.

thus i am thinking maybe this is just a normal delay that can happen, maybe no mod has as of yet picked up the case, but it is something that's inevitable.

Yeah, I'm getting that feeling as well. With all the terrible shit that's happening in the world, there is the chance that some of the mods are dealing with real-life issues and aren't spending as much of their time handling reports. That's just speculation, but this is a global forum with mods from all over the place.

Kind of off-topic, but have any of our regular Russian or Ukrainian members been chiming in lately? I know there are a lot of them, and I'd like to hear what they're going through. Should I un-ignore Politics and Society?
