Title: View all posts disabled in megathreads. Solution? Post by: krishnapramod on June 28, 2018, 03:12:52 AM Majority of Spammers/plagiarists post in megathreads. With a thread having less than 25 pages, choosing view all and having all the posts on a single page is quite easy to spot copy/paste content, but for a thread with more than 25 pages, "all" option is disabled. I tried the "print" option also, but.
Quote An Error Has Occurred! The topic is too large to fit on one page. Is there a solution to get all the posts in a megathread to fit on one page? Print used to work but for some reason doesn't anymore*. AFAIK "All" and print were the only [legacy] ways to view all posts. *on lengthy threads Title: Re: View all posts disabled in megathreads.

It's not too difficult finding copy-pasters because you can usually tell via their vocabulary and/or sudden change in writing style. A simple google search with a chunk of the post (not all of it, since they can sometimes add some of their own asinine comments and/or other copy-pasted content) will usually do the trick. *on lengthy threads Title: Re: View all posts disabled in megathreads.

Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on June 28, 2018, 04:10:11 AM The last time I visited one of those threads whilst hunting plagiarists, I just did it the old fashion way, clicking on each page and searching within the thread for suspected copy/pastes. I'm sure there's a much easier way to do it, but frankly after about a week of doing it my will to find these jokers left me. When I'd find one, it'd be like finding a cockroach--where there's one, there are probably a hundred hiding out in random cereal boxes and in the stove. Too much for my sanity, thanks.
Wouldn't it be so nice if average members like you and me didn't have to waste our time searching for these knuckleheads? Title: Re: View all posts disabled in megathreads. Solution?

Looks like apart from using the old fashion way, going through each page, there is no other choice. Exact copy/paste is easy to spot, google search would do the trick, but some plagiarists do change a couple of words, 90% match and without having all the posts on a single page, it's a bit difficult to get these sloppy text spinners.

Even with word changes, a Google search can easily catch the plagiarism. As long as you're paying attention, of course. This is because the keywords of the quote match together with that of the original site and will return to you some heavily-bolded segments.I actually made a report recently about a user slightly changing some parts of a description from a Wikipedia article. I copied his post, popped it into Google, and boom: one of the top results showed the page. Title: Re: View all posts disabled in megathreads. Solution?

I think taking a "extended screenshot" from your phone and then print will sometimes can work.Link>>>How to take scrolling screenshots in Android (https://www.xda-developers.com/scrolling-screenshots-android/) |
