To help clarify this important issue, I would like to start a discussion about the plagiarism rule and policy on bitcointalk.org. Specifically, I would like to address the following questions:

What qualifies as plagiarism on the forum?
What are the consequences for violating the plagiarism rule?
How can users ensure that their posts are original and do not violate the plagiarism rule?
Are there any exceptions or nuances to the plagiarism rule that users should be aware of?
