Topic: Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed - page 21. (Read 119161 times)

Anyone that needs to interact with many users would find it useful to maintain their own personal lists beyond using others. External sources can be outdated, lacking in scope, arbitrary, and have a number of possible issues.

Plus it's decentralization and all that jazz.

Indeed, dear GazetaBitcoin.
And, we need to have a consideration, too: which message is being sent here, if someone can plagiarize multiple times, even gets caught, provides a very weak excuse (which is basically a justification because "posts are 2 years old" and he "forgot about it") and for all of this, he get's away and NOTHING happens, not even a temporary signature ban. What message is sending this to abusers? You can plagiarize, you can do it multiple times, you can be a participant in a paid signature campaign, while doing it, you can get caught - but you won't get ANY consequences...  

---

You are right but it's not very difficult to get part of it.  

---

Some are doing such investigations already and are well aware about our abusers and other campaign managers will follow, hopefully.  

---

LMAOO, I haven't seen this until now.  
What does his pyramid quote even want to say?
I really don't know, it's 100% bullshit.

---

+1 exactly that.
To create some awareness about obvious wrongdoing being relevant to signature campaigns, like plagiarism is very relevant, a neutral tag is a very good decision to create awareness. It's not possible for campaign managers to read every post on the forum and keep everything in mind. A neutral tag, as provided by us, will give campaign managers a fair heads-up to be able too look into the issue and decide for themselves.

LOL, what a weirdo.  
I'm not a friend of crypto being tied to pornography and abuse and it's really a tiny margin of BTC being tied to it but I would stay far away from contributing to that tiny margin BTC is tied to such shady stuff.  
And MinoRaiola is not just promoting it, he's actively facilitating it. What a perv.
Shame, shame.  

About 30% indicated plagiarism from one of the posts made on the Beginners & Help board by a user Wolfblood200$ taken from several sources.

the post disappeared from my profile after trying to pass it on to him.
the title of the post that I quoted before disappeared.
But archive ninjastic.space can't make it pass if correct the percentage amount a correct plagiarism can be a ban.

Can't believe this guy is such an awesome shitposter that he was proposed to be banned from an entire board! He reminds me of franky1, which was banned from Development and Technical Discussion.

And, based on Igebotz's explanation,


MinoRaiola does not even know rules of football? Looooooooooooooooool! Can't believe this!

---

Triple plagiarism?! Damn, this guy is very efficient at what he does!


I am part of this gang as well 

---

I believe it would be also useful if campaign managers would visit this thread from time to time. In case actmyname or Igebotz can't update their lists too often, managers can get their material directly from this thread.

---

I am also baffled by what shitposters do inside Gambling or Gambling Discussion boards. For example, the guy trying to miximize profits through crypto and which never showed up inside his own thread until both you and me signaled that and only after that he showed up, quoting your entire post (which was huge) and saying saying another nonsense.

The guy saying that referral bonuses are waste of time triggered a 396 posts discussion where everybody says nothing. Here, the "discussion" is still ongoing.

Here, OP asks a very dumb question, yet the topic is still live, having already 228 posts. And so on and so forth...

---

What we can do is to tag these accounts accordingly. For example, let's not forget that MinoRaiola, while currently promoting pornography even better than the old perv Timelord2067, also cheats on his own contest, where he changes the rules while the contest is live. This is totally unprofessional.

From what I've seen, it varies. But Ledway has reached the limit:

Has anyone started counting how many complaints this user gets for regularly posting plagiarism here? I'm tired of writing posts but only sending moderators links to copied materials.
It seems that some of the newcomers have become "immune from the ban." I would like to hear the opinions of the moderators on these issues.
Does the forum really need new people so much that even copying a large amount of information on the forum does not punish such people who do not know how to read the rules?

My anaylsis from crypto updates, An experts believe that the rising interest rates and tighter monetary policy will not allow Bitcoin to rebound sharply in the near future. As in this kind of uncertain market, investors will not prefer to invest or buy risky assets such as Bitcoin.
Analysts believe the crypto market will recover in 2023. By the end of the year, the bulk of the bear market will be behind us; however, a full bull market, going by bitcoin price history, is not guaranteed. Some believe the bottom will be reached in the first quarter of 2023, with bitcoin falling to $10,000 or lower.

Yes, especially gambling-related camapigns are of interest, where the respective signature campaign manager is responsible.
But I really believe your list is very useful. Even if there's little impact, a little positive impact is still very positive for Bitcointalk. So far, at least icopress is considering your list and maybe more signature campaign managers will follow because it's not beneficial for advertised services at all to reward excessive spammers for one-liners on page 100 of a topic, only visited by other one-liner spammers.
Regarding a tag, I can imagine that a neutral tag similar to actmyname's approach can be a good solution but it would be quite a lot of work for you and if most signature campaign managers don't care anyways, it's probably wasted time, so I can understand your point here.

---

My suggestion was more about the community monitoring the activity of temporary signature-banned accounts, for example if their post count is dropping significantly, when wearing no signature.
Moderators would only need to issue a temporary signature ban (1 year) as it's being done right now, the account owner could still write posts normally, just not earn from signature campaigns for 1 year (while his signature is deisbaled) and that's it, from a moderator perspective.
It would be up to the community to review it and leave a neutral trust (like actmyname) after the temporary signature ban, if there's a clear drop of weekly posts, indicating that the affected account has only been used toearn a few easy sats or similar.
Such cases could also be handled in a community managed list of temporary signature banned accounts, which couldn't convice our community that they are not just here to spam to earn a few sats.
Once again, signature campaign managers would need to enforce such lists as every abuser would get his signature space enabled again, as it's only a temporary ban.
It's not easy to find a solution here, so it's just an idea right now. 

Mine is limited to active gambling board posters, whereas actmyname covers the entire forum. I believe mine will be useful for managers who are only interested in gambling posts, but that list hasn't been updated in a while because I rarely visit those mega spam threads, and I only read and post in moderated threads with users who are actually gamblers and not just posting for the sake of signature.

Since the majority of the users on my list are still in their various campaigns and are still getting paid, I don't believe my list has had any impact yet; perhaps managers aren't seeing it as frequently because these users aren't tagged (I see it as inappropriate use of the system).



That would entail the moderators compiling a list of temp banned users and monitoring their activities to determine whether they deserve a second chance or not. This is something I doubt the mods would want to get involved in; it's a good idea, but it would add to their workload.

Look How many chances this guy got. Five times were reported in this thread, and countless numbers of posts were reported for plagiarism.  According to BPIP, His 31 posts were deleted by the moderator. This shows how much Moderators tolerated him. I've commented on his posts and asked him not to repeat such things. He created a bunch of threads and never checked back his threads. The final update is that this guy is Banned now. I hope he learned a good lesson.

Yeah, it's usual for him to do this when someone exposed him. I'm on his distrust list as well, similar like many high-ranked DT members.
It's quite strange but obviously it's his approach for solving these issues.
And so far it's working well for him, he's still getting paid.

Definitely, best case your list would get accepted similar to actmyname's spammers blacklist, where spammers are rejected frequently when applying for signature campaigns.
I've seen campaign managers adding actmyname's list in their rules, like here by icopress. It's really beneficial for the forum to have campaign managers considering such feedbcks.  
I would definitely support campaign managers adding your list as a rule, too.

I've been a little bit more active in Gambling Discussion lately and regarding Gambling post quality, I'm definitely trusting your knowledge and judgement about posting quality in that section.
Unfortunately, there are far too many spammers, who just comment there to get their required weekly gambling posts quota and don't care about sport or gambling...

---

Yes, I'm a bit surprised why temporary bans are "out" after all. A temporary signature ban is rather soft; people can still write posts as usual. It isn't affecting normal discussions at all. I really don't know why this procedure has been abandoned as it's a great way to see if affected accounts should be given a second chance, if they'll contribute to the forum without paid signature or if they are really just here to spam to earn a few sats.

He ~ my judgment for including him on the list of gambling board spammers, but I didn't bother because I had already reported many of his posts from last years and the majority had gone unhandled. So Instead of wasting time reporting, I simply made the list in the hopes that the managers would see it and decide whether they agreed with me or not.





The moderators were gracious enough to give him another chance because he is an old member and he was pardoned for previous violations, but I doubt he would be as lucky on this second report. The signature ban hasn't occurred in years; now, it's either you're banned or you're pardoned. The latter is the current trend.

Nice catch, it's triple plagiarism or let's say multiple plagiarism from what is known right now. Maybe there's even more…
Good job to expose such case of multiple plagiarism. 

As we can see from MinoRaiola's trust page, this account is involved in much more shady abuses, like improper use of positive trust to pad up his own + friends ratings, where his shitposter friend Unknown01 is involved, too.
I've left MinoRaiola a neutral feedback to make signature campaign managers aware of his plagiarism.
In addition, MinoRaiola is part of the gambling board spammer list compiled by Igebotz.

It's quite disappointing to see such abusers getting away very easily now, especially considering he's a multiple plagiarizer.
For this case, he's just lucky that his plagiarism hasn't been exposed earlier; he would get banned right away for that earlier, for sure.
I've reported his posts as plagiarism as well (1 is already not available anymore). Even with moderators being extremely lenient towards plagiarizers lately, a temporary 1 year signature ban would be appropriate, considering MinoRaiola has proven to be a signature-spammer, offloading his paid signature spam here on Bitcointalk 24/7.
Would be interesting to see, if his weekly post numbers would decrease significantly, should he receive a temporary singature ban. As all of us know, a signature ban is what will hurt signature-spammers + co the most.
For now, we only can hope for moderators to act here and issue a temporary 1 year signature ban, where MinoRaiola could still prove that he deserves his signature space back by posting here without getting handsomely rewarded for the time during his temporary signature ban.
All we can do for now, is reporting his plagiarized posts and maybe add a neutral trust to make campaign managers aware of it.

KUDOS to everyone here, exposing plagiarizers.
