So, no moderator responded, right? That's why I said in the other thread that it seemed to me that they were not going to explain the criteria. I don't know why they will do this but being transparent with the criteria would help those of us who care about the forum.

It seems to me that the main criterion now is to save as many members as possible, which means forgiving them of plagiarism/paraphrasing or giving them a temp ban. I don't know how else to explain the fact that there are threads like this where people wonder what the hell is going on with those damn rules.

I can only say that this was not the case before, every well-documented case of plagiarism was resolved within 3 days - maybe the forum has problems with the staff dealing with things like this?

All of my plagiarism reported cases from the previous month have been labeled unhandled, and to be honest, it kills the zeel in me to keep reporting when nothing will be done in the end, it looks like a lost quest! I've noticed that the mods are too lenient in cases of plagiarism, especially when it comes to old users. What about reintroducing the plagiarism ban bot?

Anyone who loves and wants to keep his topic clean should make it self-moderated because the mods have become less active these days; perhaps it's time theymos replaced some of the inactive staff to keep the forum running, as it's been ages since he appointed new mods. We have qualified and active users here who are eager to help.
