Nope, I’m afraid this isn’t sufficient evidence. Since this incident occurred outside of Bitcointalk, it’s challenging to confirm the identity of the person on the other end. Furthermore, the image was not initially posted on Bitcointalk.
If you checked the topic, you would see that member in question even admitted that he took someone else's image and presented it as his own. Also, it doesn't matter from where it was taken as if you copy text from outside of bitcointalk you will still get banned.
What I’m trying to convey is that if the original image originated from Bitcointalk and someone shared that image here on Burocintalk, and then another individual copied and reposted it on Bitcointalk, that would indeed constitute clear-cut plagiarism.
Even if someone did that, it still won't get banned. Here is the direct answer from mprep, plagiarism rule doesn't apply to images, no matter the source.
33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.[e] - Does this rule apply to images?
AFAIK no, it doesn't apply to images.
Thank you, can I quote you?
