It's a blatant 1:1 copy paste, the plagiarism post doesn't provide a link, doesn't use a "quote" function, doesn't use italic text and doesn't even use quotation marks...

It's an obvious copy/paste, but not a case of plagiarism for me.
He gives the name of the author (Wolfgang Kubicki), he does not appropriate the content.
I rarely deal with plagiarism, but if I had this case, I would not have asked for a ban. And I see that Mole added the source and put quotes, I would probably have done the same.

I had decided as you can see in the history for the variant that Halab would also have chosen.
It was an incorrect posting but Beobachter_90 never pretended that it was his own text and therefore it is not a real plagiarism.
In such cases you have to differentiate and act with sensitivity.
