ALL? Shirley some mishtake?

OK, you "visit the forum at least once a day"

[WTFH]

TBH, you and WTFH failed all of the above moderator tests
I could come up with a similar list, although very different, for CUK moderation.

Plagiarism is passing someone else's work off as your own.

Oh. So that's what I'm supposed to do.



Nah. Can't see it working.

Just on a technical point, it cannot be plagiarism if a text is reproduced with consent, shirley?

Plagiarism is all of the 4 horses of the Apocalypse.

It's also in breach in several international treaties.

Still, we would never have had Microsoft if the judge in the QDos trial had the wits to tell Bill to cease and desist and well as fine him. I notice the treaty has been renamed and watered down since then.

If you change a word, then it's alright.

I can't believe it's not butter....

[MarillionFan]

Nope.

You will get done for plagiarising all lines apart from that one.

Bollocks. If that's the case, then Samuel Johnson has been copied for years.

OK. My understanding was that the original work had to be available (for comparison) to prove plagiarism. I suppose a good essay from someone who turns out to be as thick as pig excrement is proof enough.

What you're saying is that WTFH looks like a clueless penis in a metal jacket. Yep, I can see that.

[Mordac]

Er, the plagiarism is, in essence, paying someone to do your work for you.

One bright spark here got poor marks, refused to pay, and got ratted on by the writer.

Which didn't end well.

[MrMarkyMark]

There are instructions?

I thought it was all made up as you went along.

Not that simple

[BrilloPad]

Just a minute, I'll add that to my mod work instructions...

How about banning for hesitation, repetition or deviation?

Deviation? That's the Russian Squirrel ****er screwed then.

Consent has to be assumed from the fact that they advertise an essay writing service, so as long as you pay for it, they aren't going to care what happens afterwards.

(Apologies for tediously going on-topic - I'll sod off now)

Edit - the penny's just dropped. You shining wits, you...
