My reports were handled in a timely manner, it's just that the user is given a free pass, as you see no consequences whatsoever. I assume the forum is fine with individuals stealing intellectual property, me...i could care less what the mods do or don't do anymore. If you've ever been perma/temp/sig banned for a single line of plagiarized text, you've clearly gotten the short end of the stick. To all the plagiarists out there, it's different now: take that as you will. Lol
Recently, I have found a lot of plagiarism, even among users with the Legendary rank, and there were not a couple of lines, but entire paragraphs or articles without indicating the source. Reports were either processed in GOOD or left unhunded. But regardless of the status of the report, these plagiarists suffered absolutely no punishment. I have already understood that at the present time there is no point in spending all the time on this, because if a plagiarist has a high rank, this frees him from any responsibility. Finding plagiarism and formatting reports for moderators (or posts in this thread) at the present time is like wiping a bench in the park with a rag during heavy rain. Actions are performed, but they do not carry any meaning. Therefore, I no longer want to waste my time on this, since this rule has not been in effect here for a long time, and the current leadership, represented by moderators, does not want to explain or make adjustments according to the rules. They simply ignore all requests.
Some plagiarism seems very hard to pinpoint. I saw posts that seem like plagiarism but come from Full Member with a lot of merits or high-rank users like you said. It seems like plagiarism to me because there is a stark difference between their posts on certain topics like sport or soccer, etc vs posts when they address people's opinions and discuss topics on the bitcointalk. I know, not everyone is fluent in English and I'm just an ESL myself. You can't expect every post from someone to have the same quality with solid structure, no typos or grammar errors and maintain that quality through and through.
But to the point, one with perfect English on certain topics then makes too many glaring mistakes in a short sentence when discussing something else. It was like robotic vs organic, you know. Just that and you know the latter, making mistakes with a stark difference in tone and structure is the real deal while the former is not, he/she must pull that from somewhere.
