With the fierce stand against plagiarism on the forum, one would think there would certainly have been a repercussion of some sort when someone commits the heinous crime of taking credit for someone else work.
Heinous crime? Plagiarism sucks and I reported my share of those, but lets not exaggerate here.
The post has been long deleted so I can safely assume that not all users on the forum gets the same treatment when found out for plagiarism
That's a known fact for a long time, nothing new here. And I see nothing wrong if someone who is net positive to this forum gets signature or temporary ban instead permanent one, unlike some shitposter who is probably an alt account of previously banned account.
Ps. Mods doesn't choose who to ban or not. They ban all the users who was verified that plagiarized, if you think why they are not banned yet. Of course, they with a lot of people posting in the forum they wouldn't be able to filter it out that's why there's a board for that so some users who caught users plagiarizing content can report it.
Situation is not so simple as you presented it. If mods ban all users who plagiarized, @Mr.right85 would have been banned already but as we can see, he still hasn't been banned so when it comes to plagiarism its case by case scenario.
To get someone banned, The plagiarized post must be available on the forum. Moderators do not consider Post Scraping links like Loyce.club or Ninjastic. This is not my statement. One of the Mods said that, but I cannot find the Post now.
First time I hear about this and honestly doesn't make much sense to me. Can you please (or anyone else) find the source of that claim?
