what moderators are going to do and, again, I think theymos or some moderator should specify if the criteria has changed and what is the current criteria now.

I have already PM'ed mprep, Halab, Cyrus and hilariousandco and requested them to respond to this thread if possible.

Oh shit, I didn't reply because I thought you sent a PM to all mods. And I didn't answer because plagiarism is very very rare in the Fr section (and I'm very happy about that because it's very annoying). I won't comment because I don't know how other mods that deal with this kind of cases do.

What I can say is that there is no official policy change for plagiarism cases... because there are no official rules for plagiarism. It's case by case. Often I find reporters are very strict, you cross outside the crosswalk, you go to jail !! You have to judge on several factors : did it happen once ? Is it an honest omission ? Does he really take ownership of the copied text ? Etc...

Obviously Theymos knows about this case and nothing happened, you can move on. But naim027, you are on the radar of many people, never forget to add the source again Smiley
