It's pretty clear that why accounts are banning lately. I think 99% of ban reason is plagiarism/copy paste. However, there is option for appeal and ask questions why you have gotten ban.

Why should moderators and senior people take all the burden of finding the plagiarized posts?

Who told you that only moderators and senior users take burden of detect plagiarism? Is there any rules or guidelines? If not then that means everyone free to do it whoever want to help community.

How to detect plagiarism?
Usually I didn't research it deeply. But previously I have reported few plagiarism case. When I have doubts about someone post then simply I was used forum search button. If there is copy paste then it should reflect on forum search. I have not think professionally how to detect forum plagiarism.

Most of them are copy pasting the other members' posts. They are so stupid they do it on the same page of the topic. I see that one all the time.

Sometimes they are copy/pasting parts of the articles. If the post was too perfect and professional without any grammatical errors, it is worth a google search.

I don't usually care and I don't visit many threads but even I saw and reported some plagiarized posts. The more you read the forum, the more you get familiar with the shitposters. ICO sig carriers are usually the dumbest ones. Usually a combination of multi acc forum spam and plagiarism.

So my question is, how can I help the community by finding the posts which the user have copy pasted and then show it to the banned person.

Somebody already found it,reported it. that's why the account is banned. Reporters already share that plagiarized post when thread created in Meta.

If there is a method to identify such posts with an ease, then it should be public so that other users could use it to show the banned person for the exact post he was banned for.

Public ? for the ease of plagiarist for hiding the trails?

Now you want to share the burden but want to copy the method. I suggest you to devise your own method for finding them.

The moderators do that at their own will, they have access to more forum data than the average user, so they can access reported post therefore getting the source of plagiarism meanwhile other forum members go through the stress of reviewing users post history and some take the burden for the merits (not guaranteed). I guess you most have seen some members getting rewarded for finding the plagiarized posts and you want a bite of the pie too lol.

It requires some dedication and time that's if you don't have a bot to do all the work, you have to skimmed through the users post history and run any suspected post for plagiarism via plagiarism checking software on website or app until you find a match although sometimes that particular post won't be the actual post reported for plagiarism but it'll do.

It's obvious that 2 identical posts determines plagiarism but the tough part is to identify it among the thousands of posts a user has done.
Lately many accounts have been banned for plagiarism and many of them have started posting in meta asking the reason for the ban.
So my question is, how can I help the community by finding the posts which the user have copy pasted and then show it to the banned person.
