Title: The King Of Copy Pasting
Post by: cryptothief on March 19, 2018, 10:58:40 PM
This guy must be the undisputed king of copy pasting, over 300 posts with one post copy pasted on different threads over a hundred times (and another over 50 times). Not sure what the benefit is, but guessing there's payment somewhere. Don't know if there's a rule against this, but it definitely doesn't add anything to any discussion.

They haven't earned any merit for it, so no abuse accusation, just a lack of overall standards.

yea that is against the rules. I don't think it is technically "copy pasting" as in plagiarism though.

Agreed, yes, not accusing him of copy pasting from somewhere else. Just never seen someone confident enough in their own post to repost it hundreds of times. I definitely wouldn't be.

it's done by bot script (gone awry), nothing to do with confidence but definitely spam :P
in a few hours those will be gone, people read this thread and start reporting him
he would be nuked or banned at worst.
he's probably stressed out for not able getting merits to rank up ;D

If he is posting as reply that is not against the rules, only if he open new topic with same content at multiple board and you can see it on the board listing then he is cross posting.

Just look at Bitcoin Forum > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Marketplace (Altcoins) > Bounties (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0) where people reply to the bounty topics posting with same translation reserve reply over maybe 30 plus topics almost exactly same message, but it all in the same child sub board.

If you read this carefully its specifically talking about opening a topic not replying

12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).
