I think infofront was voted and appointed as the moderator of that thread a few years ago. I see he's still very active on the forum; perhaps he should tell us why the thread is still facing the same disaster that caused theymos to lock it sometime ago. I also believe, is why moderators have stopped paying attention to reports from that thread.

This has nothing to do with infofront. Forum moderators - not infofront - should handle plagiarism and other serious violations, or at least that's what it says when you click "Report to moderator" in WO.

Are you serious? The posts have been reported to mods. That's all the attention a simple case of plagiarism needs.
Perhaps they missed your report? it's possible and that's why report on that's thread is one of to gain moderators attention. I don't know either report to moderator or report to that thread are better, but there's nothing wrong to do both.

If moderators "miss" that many reports then perhaps they shouldn't be moderators.

The thread appears to be the longest serving and has the most pages; it serves an important purpose, but something must be done to keep it alive.

There's already similar thread before What happened to the forum plagiarism rules? it seems moderators taking an action after he created new thread, though there's still one who not get banned yet.

I ever saw a post get removed on WO thread, but I don't know it's either @infofront, the poster or the moderator who taking the decision. Giving publicity who delete a post doesn't sound a good idea, this could be useful for some case e.g. to know the user is a liar or honest.

I understand suchmoon. As much as WO is a special part of the forum where things are tolerated that are not tolerated in other parts of the forum, I don't see why plagiarism should be tolerated there. One-liners, over quotes, etc. are OK in my opinion, but not plagiarism.

In theory there should be someone moderating plagiarism and other aspects, if we go by what is said in the thread:

Theymos would not remove the "report to moderator" link, i guess you know that too because you sound sarcastic here.

Of course he sounds sarcastic, I liked his approach to the problem.

then it makes no sense to have a misleading "Report to moderator" link there as there is nothing to report.
What if you personally stop reporting posts there, from your observation it is futile to do so, no use to keep doing it.
And yes, I do realize that removing the link might be too much of a hassle for the extremely busy staff, so maybe just put a piece of tape over it or something.
Theymos would not remove the "report to moderator" link, i guess you know that too because you sound sarcastic here. Just stop reporting anything there to save you the headache.

I have already stopped of course, I'm not an idiot, at least not to that extent. But I'm a very caring person and the concern for the wellbeing of other reporters is what keeps me up at night. Thus this thread.

It's you.......................!!! I have been wondering who's reporting my WO posts??

I don't remember reporting you. I kinda doubt that you have posted blatant copy-pasta without reference Smiley

Obviously no one bothered to even check it, because it was blatant copy-pasta with a link to the original.

That's not pilgrims... or you mean with a no link to the original?

I mean my reports all have links to the original text, i.e. all the proof the mods need if they had bothered to actually spend 30 seconds checking the report. The posts themselves had no links to the sources, or any other indication that the text was copied.

Edit: grammar.

Instead of removing it, moderator can change it to "Report to WO's moderator" Grin



@El duderino_ , @fillippone , @JayJuanGee , @LFC_Bitcoin ,and @BobLawblaw are the nominees to become a WO's moderator. Many newbies who often posted big images, pointless news without any Bitcoin relation and especially posting shitcoins are really dumb /facepalm.

Anyway have you make a report on this thread? Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed to gain moderator attention from your report.
The users you've been mentioned above are those forum members that very active in Wall observer and yes you are right mate 1 of these users who mentioned above are the best choice to become a moderator of the wall observer.
 they are working with it and sharing information, makes friends and a good contributors.
And in the Op says that there's many report from the WO but still un handle hope it will be handled soon.

And again, this thread is not about reporting plagiarism. I know how to do it. I've done it literally thousands of times. But I'm a big fan of informed decisions, so if plagiarism (as well as begging, death threats, etc) is allowed in WO - which it apparently is - then it makes no sense to have a misleading "Report to moderator" link there as there is nothing to report.

Thanks, but no thanks.
I don’t want to be elected moderator on the WO to delete or amend posts.
My moderation ideas are different from imposing my view on something.
So I give up this particular moderation idea.

As we can see, there's no moderator on that section and I have doubted this thread was on the moderator ignore list (the same on the signature, it's not counted post), IMO.  It's also a self-moderated thread, OP can delete those spam or plagiarised posts since Op was still active.

I tend to agree with your point but if moderators usually ignored reports on that thread it might as a reporter we avoid reporting that thread (adjustment) but in plagiarism case, that's very sensitive since it's a mortal sin here.  Moderator should look at it and ban that user.

We need a clear answer to the moderators why they do ignore reports that come from the WO thread or mark them as "unhandled".
So that reporters know this and avoid reporting that thread and just as is that there's a "report to moderator" button.

I support the removal of the "report to moderator" button if that is the case but I want to hear first the moderator's side.

Just my personal opinion.

Thank you suchmoon for posting this but you have no proof that the two posts are worth to be deleted. Just saying that. But I have known you to be actively reporting shit posts and I believe you about this but if the posts are not known, it may not yield anything good result. I wish moderators to concentrate on Wall Observer thread and look into the two posts.

The proof has been submitted to moderators. They can open the queue right now and check it and I'm sure admins can check older reports as well. If it was a bad report it should be a bad report, otherwise the users should be banned, not just the posts deleted.

Obviously no one bothered to even check it, because it was blatant copy-pasta, reported properly including a link to the original. One of the users had been reported 3 or 4 times over the last few months.

The point is not about the two posts, there have been many more ignored reports that already fell of my report list. The point is - remove the useless "Report to moderator" link in the WO thread because it's misleading and a waste of time.

Edit: confusing wording.

Since no one seems to handling reports there anyway, even plagiarists are still happily plagiarising.

And yes, I do realize that removing the link might be too much of a hassle for the extremely busy staff, so maybe just put a piece of tape over it or something.
