Plagiarism/Copy and Paste.

I'm sick of people plagiarizing in the SFA forum. If people would like to share someone else's well though out opinions, they should at least say where it's coming from. I'm talking about people who directly copy and paste information from a website, not people who paraphrase or happen to share the same opinion. Neither am I asking for any sort of formal citation, just a "This isn't my work" disclaimer.

I think plagiarism (if the source is not blatantly obvious) should be an infractable offence.

Just my 2 cents.

 

I believe plagiarism is already an infractable offence?

If it's not it should be worth atleast 2 points

 

I believe plagiarizing is a ban able offense. Not positive but depending on how it is gone about I'm sure it's ban able in most cases.

 

Not a bannable but infractable is my opinion.

 

Plagiarism for guides in the User Education section is deemed as a 1 month ban for plagiarizing, so I think the rule may still apply to other sections as well since it follows the same guidelines of plagiarizing.
