Best Cryptocurrencies to Invest RIGHT NOW?

and i can say that most of the topic in that forum are just copy past from our bitcoin talk forum  

for example check the recent posts  http://www.swiftcointalk.org/recent/ (http://www.swiftcointalk.org/recent/)  archived (http://archive.today/Is9LR)

i think the forum owner is using a bot  to  copy all those topic  

and i think  the person responsible may be  this account ( or just an alt or a bot )  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1462988 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1462988)    ( go to swift coin talk  uper right you will find the link to this account )


this is a major problem  and i think its not an internal problem that simple members can look into it   since it is a whole forum  plagiarism   our  members work

its more complicated  lol it is also linked to this website    https://www.swiftcoin.club/ (https://www.swiftcoin.club/)   hhh a scam coin probably   ?  well idk

You should report plagiarism cases, if it's the other way around (DT1/2 members can't take actions towards him/her).

This can't be controlled or stopped, there are some other replicas of bitcointalk too bitcointalk.[to] (Don't open, even I knew its phishing but still somehow I missed it when it was already opened my tabbed and I entered by username and password only after pressing enter I realized it and now I have changed my password)

Anyway eventually they will die out they won't be getting much traffic either. But yes we need New forum software  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0) so these automatic copying can be limited and bots won't be able to read and copy that fast.

What  about reporting his account in the forum  ?   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1462988 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1462988)

His/her account can be given a red trust by DT Members, but I think he/she will only continue plagiarizing bitcointalk threads in that website. Are there bitcointalk rules that discusses about plagiarism of forum threads outside the forum? If none, then DT members cannot take an action to stop him/her by doing that act. I think the account deserves a ban though, it is still plagiarism after all.

iillaa , there is a option "Report to moderator" for each post and best way is to use this option to report plagiarism.What report should contain is link to original post/source and archived post of user you want to report.

In most cases of plagiarism punishment is a permanent ban,but you should keep in mind that there is a lot of reports and that moderators need time to process everything.

A. this is a site copying/mirroring bitcointalk, so reporting doesn't make any sense, and isn't really possible.

B. Reporting a user for plagiarism using the "Report to Moderator" button i believe doesn't do anything. You'll need to open a topic in the meta section of the forum to actually get them banned.
( I believe i read this somewhere where a moderator stated this was the case.)

It might not be a bot but some idiots really copying from this community because as I remember last year, there was someone looking for services to do some copy and paste for him. And eventually it was found out that he wants someone to copy from this community to his forum. But I totally haven't follow it so I guess this maybe one of them.

LOL that's another level of plagiarism from the view of a BitcoinTalk user. Only swiftcointalk administrators can do something about it. IMO it's a case like BitcoinTalk.TO (<=== DO NOT VISIT unless you know what you are doing) where we can not do nothing about it.

I assume most of the account hack we see now a days for this website. Innocent people think BitcoinTalk.TO is actual BitcoinTalk.org and they leave their username and password there.

Actually  it does really  do something  last night i reported  someone  using  that  report to mod button  and with 5 min   topic was deleted and user  banned  
 ofc if you want to confirm he got banned  just post in an already  existing topic  like i did here
