Topic: Isn't this copy-paste? [plagiarism] [user=yogg] - page 2. (Read 500 times)
Plagiarism is the copying of someone else's work and passing it off as your own, in violation of the original author's copyright. You're allowed to copy your own work, since you're not harming anyone else. Why would you even think there was anything wrong with that?
It's self-plagiarism and in general, there should be a note that he mentioned it before but in that particular case, it's not necessary.
The context is too common for a notification.

He has basically copied his own post so it does not count as plagiarizing.
This would not get him banned too.

I was randomly going through some of the posts and found out that a user randomly posts same post. I don't know how far is it acceptable by this forum but i am damn sure if it was any lower rank account, it would have been permanently banned.

If you check "Post 1" you will see that this user yogg made a mistake and posted again with correction. (change*) But in "Post 2" this user didn't care about the spelling mistake and simply copy pasted the post.
Now, i can see it was against account buy/sell which is really appreciated by the forum but what he did can simply be defined as COPY-PASTE which isn't entertained by the forum. According to the forum rules, any post copied should result in perm ban.
Excited to read responses!
