Here's a reasonably decent guide on how to cite a source:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.46149905

Bitcointalk really, really needs some sort of style guide, like an MLA Handbook specifically for bitcointalk--not necessarily as a standard of how to write posts, but at least a set of guidelines for citing sources when quoting material that's not your own.  Right now it's a hellish mixture of opinions as far as what constitutes proper citation and what constitutes plagiarism.

plagiarism without a doubt. http://archive.li/30Lg1#selection-475.191-475.232

So long as the biggest part of what a user writes is original, I wouldn't consider including some text from another source a bad thing.
Judged by academic standards, it would be considered plagiarism and unethical if the source wasn't disclosed though. or even if the source wasn't cited correctly.

I found this thread in which the OP was pretty interesting, and I was going to give him some merit--then I checked and found that part of it was copy/pasted from https://u.today/10-bitcoin-friendly-countries-that-legalized-cryptocurrency.

OP wrote this as the only indication that anything he wrote was taken from another source:

I reported the post as plagiarism.  Since this is similar to the situation with Rambotnic, who keeps pleading with me to remove my neg on him, I'd like to hear opinions on whether frozen2017's post in the linked thread above would be considered plagiarism.  It certainly isn't cited properly, and I'm convinced it should be enough to get him banned.

Did you report the plagiarized posts you found? Only to post it in here isn't sufficient, you have to report it, too.

Sometimes the mods are deleting the posts I've reported, but the account is still active.
Then I've to report another copy/paste post to get them actually banned.


This suggestion was already answered by theymos here:    
Re: Community generated suggestions to improve the forum (+ eventual voting on them)


The only way to verify if an account was already banned is bpip.org, made by Vod, as Kemarit mentioned.

Even though I see the posts of others after me led to bans, accounts I posted about don't appear in the modlog.
I'm wondering if I did something wrong or anything I could improve?

Also, banned users don't have any indication in their profiles. Maybe those users I reported were already banned?
And since there isn't a full list of banned accounts, maybe the ones I reported were already banned?
~~~
Change the forum's software to include a public tag in every banned user's profile.

~~~

No. Or not yet. Or the idea would need to be significantly modified.

Cryptocurrencies pose a competitive threat to Bank of America's business, the company said in a regulatory filing Thursday.

"Clients may choose to conduct business with other market participants who engage in business or offer products in areas we deem speculative or risky, such as cryptocurrencies," the bank said. Such increased competition may "negatively affect our earnings" or affect "the willingness of our clients to do business with us."

The comments were part of an annual 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission about the bank's operations and business risks. The bank said it had no further comment.
Bank of America's filing added that widespread adoption of new technologies in financial services, including cryptocurrencies, "could require substantial expenditures" in order to adapt to evolving industry standards and consumer preferences.
Popular interest in digital currencies has taken off in the last several months, helping send bitcoin from less than $1,000 at the beginning of 2017 to a high above $19,000 in mid-December. The surge of interest led to the launch of bitcoin futures by CME, the largest futures exchange, and its competitor, Cboe, in December as well. Bitcoin was trading well off its record highs Friday, at around $10,000.
However, Bank of America has not embraced the rise of interest in cryptocurrencies. The firm's Merrill Lynch wealth management arm banned its roughly 17,000 financial advisors from buying bitcoin-related investments for clients. The bank also said earlier this month that customers cannot use its credit cards to buy cryptocurrencies.

The SEC filing also noted that digital currencies limit the bank's ability to track movement of funds and comply with laws such as anti-money laundering regulation.
Theoretically, the blockchain technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is a threat to the existence of major financial firms. Blockchain eliminates the need for a third-party intermediary like a bank by creating an instant, permanent and secure record of transactions.
The development of cryptocurrency trading so far has seen the emergence of a new industry with rapidly growing businesses such as exchanges like Coinbase and bitcoin "mining" companies like Bitmain.
Meanwhile, Bank of America has been quietly researching blockchain technology, as are other major banks.
The company has more than 70 patents that can incorporate applications of blockchain, and several dozen other patents for "digital wallets," means of authentication and other processes needed to apply the technology in banking and commerce, according to David Pratt, managing director at Mcam-International. The firm maintains an archive of patent-related documents in 160 countries.

Bitcoin and the blockchain protocol developed in the midst of a massive global financial crisis that is still affecting people ten years on. It is a common thought experiment to theorize on how well the cryptocurrency revolution would stand up to another financial crisis, not just among the crypto community, but in financial institutions across the globe.

Recent developments in global economics make this more than a theoretical postulation, it’s trying to see what the future will hold and how to avoid the worst effects of the next financial crash. The potential economic risks that come from the U.S. trade war with China, instability in Italian debt markets, and Deutsche Bank job cuts are building up into a cumulative effect that could topple the world once again into monetary crisis.

The next economic crash will come and the performance of cryptocurrencies in that period will depend heavily on when the downturn happens and how close cryptocurrency is to universal (or at least widespread) utilization. 

While Bitcoin and its siblings have shown resistance to economic factors that usually affect financial markets, they are not wholly immune to the effects of a market collapse. Whether crypto moves in direct correlation with the rest of the financial world or direct opposition is yet to be seen. However, it would be naive even to consider that currency, so far untested in the choppy waters of a market crash, could maintain complete isolation from all of the other financial instruments and continue on its way.

China’s rapid path to economic development is well documented and even though growth rates appear to be slowing, there is no doubt as to the pivotal role China’s economy is playing in the global economy.

China initially pursued an export-oriented path to industrialisation – similar to the Asian Tigers before them – but has begun to diversify into other sectors of the economy in the last ten years. It has done this with an unwavering determination to accelerate growth rates and expand its economic reach. As geographers, we need to understand the factors responsible for China’s economic success


Labour supply & Female participation in the workforce

There is a plentiful supply of workers in China with a steady stream of rural-urban migrants in search of work. This is due to the mechanisation of agriculture leading to unemployment and under-employment in rural areas and concurrent growth in industrial work in urban areas. It is estimated that 500,000 million people will leave the Chinese countryside in search of work over the next two decades.


Political system

The non-democratic and authoritarian political regime in China has meant that it has been possible to embrace western-style free market economics while maintaining control over the political system. In many ways, the planned economy of China (where the state controls economic activity rather than private business) has accelerated economic growth because the government has controlled all decision-making. Since Mao in 1953, the government has followed a series of Five Year Plans

Free market economics

China first began moving away from a centrally planned economy towards a market-oriented system in 1978. Deng Xiaoping was Mao’s successor and he sought to bring an end to China’s relative economic isolation.

Labour supply

There is a plentiful supply of workers in China with a steady stream of rural-urban migrants in search of work. This is due to the mechanisation of agriculture leading to unemployment and under-employment in rural areas and concurrent growth in industrial work in urban areas. It is estimated that 500,000 million people will leave the Chinese countryside in search of work over the next two decades. Voluntary migration of the rural population has been accompanied by aggressive re-planning schemes in which rural villages are demolished and new manufacturing settlements built at rapid pace for former agricultural families to move in to.

Wages and unemployment

The unemployment rate has fallen in recent years to just over 4%, but high rates in the past drove down wages. If workers demand higher wages, there are many more who will take the jobs available. Wages in other East Asian countries earn up to 10 times more than Chinese workers. This has increased profit margins and attracted inward FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) as American, European and Japanese companies open factories under licence in China.

Female participation in the workforce

China’s workforce is characterised by a higher than average female participation in manufacturing industry. Western cultural analyses of gender divisions in the workforce have little relevance in Chinese economic growth. This, along with the One-Child Policy which has meant women were involved in child-raising for a much shorter period than in many other countries, has made a much larger workforce available.

Political system

The non-democratic and authoritarian political regime in China has meant that it has been possible to embrace western-style free market economics while maintaining control over the political system. In many ways, the planned economy of China (where the state controls economic activity rather than private business) has accelerated economic growth because the government has controlled all decision-making. Since Mao in 1953, the government has followed a series of Five Year Plans (or Guidelines, as they are now called, to reflect China’s transition towards a ‘socialist market economy’) which have enabled the government to enact any reforms it feels is necessary. The country is now in its 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2016) and policies include spending 2.2% of GDP on R&D (Research and Development) and moving coastal regions from being ‘the world’s factory’ to being hubs of R&D, top-end specialist manufacturing and services.

Strong leadership

Chinese politicians are said to feel a greater responsibility to the nation than to themselves. Strong leadership from the head of state has been a major factor contributing to economic success.

Free market economics

China first began moving away from a centrally planned economy towards a market-oriented system in 1978. Deng Xiaoping was Mao’s successor and he sought to bring an end to China’s relative economic isolation.
