Which forum is that? Is there another forum more prestigious than Bticointalk in terms of bitcoin discussion?
Reddit? Altcoinstalks? Yeah, btctalk quitr more popular among them but they still got a good content and also got huge subscribers Grin.

I'm glad crwth already explained his side and for me his reason is understandable, i just hope all things are settled now.

Maybe we should engage in more of corrections instead of reporting at every given opportunity we see especially when the users have some pass record of decency.

And of course more especially to newbies out here who really need some piece of guidance from us Smiley.

He purposely changed some words (from "image above" to "image on the OP"). I don't think he simply wrote it in word for reference only. Maybe like @Mpamaegbu said, he intended to comment the content to another forum.

crwt already explained his side of the story and let's just wait for MOD's decision as this was already reported but knowing crwt at our local board, i can vouch that he could not do such thing.

Could not agree more.

I was writing it with word file and accidentally posted wrongly with my message. I didn’t intend to post it like that. I like taking serious discussions and thinking how I would relate to it.
For what it's worth: I believe you Smiley

Mistakes happen, let's hunt the spammers who copy/paste, not the users who make a mistake. This can happen sometimes.

He explained what happened a few posts above yours. He says he initially wrote the post in word and probably made a mistake when he copied it from word to bitcointalk.
The post in question is now deleted so I guess the mods took care of that.

Issue resolved, just received PM from crwth stating it was an honest mistake also he has deleted his post, I believe most of the less harmful issues users gets punished for on the forum are just honest mistakes. I did make one or two of those mistakes myself when I was a new comer. Maybe we should engage in more of corrections instead of reporting at every given opportunity we see especially when the users have some pass record of decency.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.
Might be a misquote to post his thoughts but end up posting the whole OP's content? Because most users used to double check their post and edit it if necessary, but in this case seems  not.

[Edit] Okay, crwth stated his fault. Its all for mods to decide, but I don't see this is a plagiarism since its not intended.

@OP. I’m really sorry for my mistake.

*edit

For the minimal changes that happened, I use Grammarly for editing my grammar mistakes and I automatically change everything that it could see. It’s for improvement

OMG, that was totally copypaste and nothing has changed (aside commas) on @CryptopreneurBrainboss stated at OP, @crwth is reputed member I don't know what is the purpose by doing that and I know that user since I always saw that account on our local board. Maybe he/she is not lazy enough to do that (yeah he/she know the basic rule on this forum and copy paste is strictly prohibited)maybe there's something wrong with that account that we need to hear it here.

Keep on eyes open on this issue of what is really happening, either hack or someone's stolen user's gadget.

EDIT: Now, crwth was explained it here so I think that apologized is accepted,(IMO) nothing's perfect, we're still human. Unless if someone here is AI robot. Grin

Guys, please don't jump to any conclusion yet, I know he's not the kind of guy posting such obvious deed against the forum's rules. I think there might be someone piloting his account or something like that. he's a good guy he even founded a charity program with cabalism to help Indigenous people on this community. there might be some explanations about this post.

@OP try and PM him with the link to this thread.

Yeah before writing this OP I did a background check on his profile and found out he was quite a decent poster himself, also sent a PM before writing post but what I feared has already been done by TMAN. I did this post to prevent him becoming a victim. I don't think it's plagiarism maybe an honest mistake (forgot to indicate his intentions for the post editing).

I am very sure it's a quoting mistake or something related to that. Probably got interrupted when replying.
I almost got into such trouble one day when I was exhausted.

Just look at the user's post history, reputation and merit earned, why would he want to lose an account over this kind of blunt plagiarism.

This is really weird, I can't understand what he was trying to do. He is a senior member on the way to Hero, has a positive trust. What could make him copy/paste your OP and change a few words around just a few posts below.  Huh
I noticed that he removed a few commas in places where you put them, could he have tried to make your OP better but totally messed it up or got interrupted after making the initial post.

On bpip there is no info that his password was changed that could indicate that his account got hacked.
Truly a peculiar case, lets see what he says and what mods find out.

At first look it seems that your post was just copied and pasted but I still see minimal differences. Anyway, I won't give emphasis on such thing because it is a clear proof of plagiarism (IMHO), the big catch here is that how crwth would do this kind of thing? I can't believe it! He is a reputable member of our local board and also applying to become on of the merit source there so I'm pretty sure that he is aware of this basic rule. Hmm, I doubt that real crwth will do such thing, maybe his account was hacked (I have a strong gut feeling for that).

Reading through a reply on my thread, i notice a reply that looks amost like my OP with few alternations (corrects in my english I suppose) but the writer didn't indicate he was correcting my english. He just drop the reply there and when you think about if it was an attempted at correcting my english, he did make some few mistakes himself. I personally don't think it's plagiarism but the user isn't online and to prevent it from been reported and user get banned I decided to highlight the situation.

Here's the threads, so what do you think? My main concern is that the reply was just written without any indication to show it was a correction to my OP (if that was what he was trying to do).
Main post
At some stage in your life, you just have to rely on bottles to take away your pains that's just the truth, not speaking directly about alcohol this time, but that's what most people use. The image above says it all, I don't have to interpret them one after the other. It's quite interesting watching yourself grow into the person you always wanted to be but again life always has a way of playing it's own trick.

Some people say the cause of the 4th bottle in life is sickness but I say a major contributor is a JOB {journey of borrowing). A close friend of mine is just 8 & the half months into his current job and I have already made used of the (4th) bottle twice already. I feel pity for him but again that's just life happening. Life is too short to live in regret that's why I encourage people to always watch themselves, which bottle are you on?.
