Bitcoin Forum

Since join this forum, I have seen this user copy and paste their own posts on different topics.

While he violated the forum rules

Of course it is not allowed. You can report the posts, linking each post to each other.

It's high likely just a mistake because he talk about crypto games and he posted in Trump coin, IIRC this happened to me in the past. I have a habit to open many tabs and didn't the previous tabs, so I've read the the title and know what I want to post, but I clicked on wrong tab and write it wrong thread.

AFAIK the rule 12 is talking about thread, not post.

I check few of his posts, I don't find other post that he did that.

It looks like a mistake that happened because he copied the post and maybe posted it unknowingly again. The dates of the two replies are on the same day, and the timing is just a difference of a few hours. From his previous post, it doesn't look like something like this has ever happened.

There should be a clause to copy and paste that is done intentionally and those that are done via a mistake.

From the perspective of literary ethics, I think copying and pasting your own post without adding a reference does not go well. The right thing to do is to drop a link to the post or a quote of the post and not repeating the same post word for word. In some instance, it may appear like spamming which is a detestable thing to do. I don't know how the forum moderators and other users will treat such issues but if it becomes a habit by any individual, I think they may act and even apportion punishments.

If you encounter such activity, report it.
If it occurs repeatedly, contact the user.
If more spamming persists, contact the campaign manager and report it.
If copy and paste spam is unreasonable (+10 posts,) report it and create a thread here.

On the subject of duplicating own posts, there is an opinion from one of the global moderators https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4846982.msg43714464#msg43714464

First of all, I just want to say that I’m not defending the mentioned user and never related to this user just you know, but this also happened to me. I often have many Bitcointalk tabs open in my browser, and I accidentally replied to a thread because I copy pasted something into a post. This happened because when I’m unsure about my grammar or my understanding of a topic, I use translation tools and copy paste the result. Thankfully, I double check and immediately deleted the post that I posted twice. And I agree that if this happens, it’s a violation but not something that deserves an account ban.

This is just my opinion: if you see this kind of offense like others have said, just report it.

If a user copy-pasting their own posts while enrolled in a campaign means he is doing that intentionally. So this won't be allowed by the forum anyway, as you always quoted the rules. A few days back I discovered a user copy-pasting the same post on multiple threads, so it doesn't look good to me. Keep reporting to moderators when you find something like this.

I am not getting what you exactly want to say; opening multiple tabs won't be an issue for copy-pasting your own post. When you are replying on a thread, then you must know what you are writing, whether it's related to the topic or not. You should read once again before pasting it finally to the topic. So this won't make you duplicate posts.

Even with multiple tabs being opened at the same time, as a user replies a thread there should be need to recheck every line in the comments to make sure it correlates. Alternatively closing tabs that has served their purpose will be a better approach, this will ensure the mistake of copying the wrong text doesn't occur.



Mistakes like this happens no doubt but the user should have read the content of the reply to know if it correlates with the thread and still do a cross check on his/her post history to make sure everything is good. Mostly when the content was a copied post so this scenario doesn't occur.

Mistakes happen, and I did a lot of it, but it made me correct how I post and establish my own pattern of posting. You have all the time to read your reply and do a correction and preview.
This is the most important thing, which is the reason why there is a preview button to see what your final posts would look like. I recommend previewing your post before hitting the post button, although I sometimes edit to add more substance to my post.

If this is the first time mentioned member copy-pasted his own post than it could be just a mistake, especially since both posts are made in same day in short time difference.
However, I see he is in bitvest campaign and I know there are members who are spamming to increase post number.
WeedGoW should explain here what happened.

The only reason why this sort of behaviour occurs is because the underlining concern is campaign quotas. This could also possibly indicate that those rushing through posts to meet their campaign quotas have more than one account. This is not the only member that has done this, there is another thread about the same thing: Kavelj22 copy pasting own posts, most likely for signature campaign's post count (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5535650.0).

There is no permission to copy and post the same post in this forum, if someone wants to show his old post to someone in any need, he can quote his old post, which is the same in the case of other posts. Someone copying the same post and posting again and again means he is trying to increase his post and activity by spamming. it is not allowed

The post reported here, maybe he used a translator or some internet problem due to which he copied his post.  And later he forgot to paste the previously copied post again and posted it by mistake.

But he made such a mistake that means he is not very careful while posting and doesn't double check his writing while posting.   This is by no means appreciated

Copying own posts isn’t allowed.

Technically, it might not be seen as plagiarism since, it is your own posts but, having duplicates of it simply implies, you’ve devised a means to cheat through spamming in order to fill campaign quota. That too isn’t allowed! It creates room for low value content or posts.

I have gone through what is presented in the OP and the context at which it was used.
I noticed that, one of the posts was made in the gambling board which is still available while the other is in altcoin discussion though deleted but, that’s the pathway that is linked.

You just get to see a devise there.

Like what most have mentioned, this is illegal and prohibited by the forum rules.

A person should not, in any way, copy and paste any of his comments that they previously made word-per-word. Not only does it constitute plagiarism (as they can technically quote what they mentioned) but it can also amount to spamming in this forum.

You can paraphrase the replies that you have made in the past but copying it word-per-word and using it to different boards in the forum is strictly illegal. Report and tag it as a spam and the moderators will delete it and/or report the said user for sanctions.

This is interesting, there's a high ranked account that I know keep copy paste his old post, but he didn't get banned, probably because people think it's not a plagiarism. I ever heard people saying self plagiarism isn't a plagiarism, it's only fall to recycling post.

I will try to report his post, if he get permanent banned then I will give you merit.

I apologize to everyone because I did not want it. Maybe it’s due to the browser net problem. I am all a candidate for forgiveness. Because this happened because of the internet. I basically write in the post notepad before and copy from there. This happened because of my flowers at this time. I did not want to do it.

I've read these lyrics more times than I can count; what do you mean by writing it on a notepad before posting it on the forum?  The forum provides enough of space for posting; all you have to do is click reply/quote and preview to open the full text page and make your post.  Why are you making posts in notepad before transferring to the forum?

And, by the way, the Internet network can only cause you to double post on a single thread (which has happened to me before), not on numerous threads.  You're not being honest.  Stop doing this.

I have seen this many times, too, and it seems some teachers teach this strategy.

I have often seen participants of exactly them in the company's signature, in which WeedGoW participates. You can imagine that he has problems with the Internet, and he prepares posts outside the Internet, and then, when he comes somewhere, he publishes them. I have not read his posts, and I do not know if they support the idea of ​​​​communication on the topic, but often I see that people write simply without reading the previous posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536059.msg65210307#msg65210307). It turns out that you can prepare in advance and then publish everything in a heap.
He has likely forgotten what he wrote and what he did not, as he does not even delete the content that he wrote and published in advance.

The forum has given me enough space for writing the post. I know it very well. But I have noticed many times when I posted in the forum post box I forget to put back button pressure, so I have to rewrite again. That is why I use my notepad according to the forum’s Tropic I create replay posts on the notepate, copy from there I post in the forum post box. And I do it comfortably, so I never made a mistake. But I did not understand how a post was submitted twice.

We can all agree that this has become a popular line for spammers; perhaps they were introduced to the forum by another spammer who followed the same principles.

Reasons why we see a lot of users quoting replies from page 1 on page 5.... Interesting...

Such strategy will never support the idea of communicating on topic. Never.


Internet glitches only cause double posting on a single thread, however yours happened on multiple threads; it wasn't the Internet network, it was you.  Admit it, move on, and perhaps stop using Notepad to create posts.  If you're not comfortable using mobile, you can use a desktop. If you're having a bad network, log out, go out and have some fun.

You're getting paid to post, so put in some effort.

It is not allowed but you can create a thread in the English Boards and decided to translate it in your own local language in the local board, and the same reverse, you can create a thread in the local board and if you want to translate it in the English Boards you can do that and it is not offended the rules of the forum and I believed that is the only thing that is allowed and not copying his own post in the English Boards and repost it again.
Or in the local board doing the same thing again and that will be tag as spamming.

"Back button pressure", what could that possibly mean? That you click the return key on your device and it takes you back to the previous page? If that's your point, I get screwed most time like that so I can relate.

There's no point of making the emphasis, it doesn't happen that way. If you accidentally submit a post twice, then it has to be on the same topic.
Since this is a notepad story, unless it's been happening already before now, I think it might have been a mistake as well.

What we need to know now is how you are going to solve something that you did not understand; there is a possibility that you are going to make the same mistake.
So changing the way you post is, I believe, the answer, like previewing first before you hit the post button and checking your post history if you post the same post that you copy on your notepad.
I believe you are in a hurry to make a post; that usually happens if you want to increase your post count in a limited time you had.

So nobody is going to talk about the damn flowers that caused these?  ;D
The flowers should be tagged, it's inadmissible, incompressible, inappropriate ,and inconceivable.

Oh, and if everyone is curious how I ended, here, I followed the bone! Or boner?  ;D The bone that was after the flowers!
Oh, no, the boner that I got from watching the flowers, that's the reason!



First, don't read them, you'll get brain damage!
Second 99% of the people don't read the replies, I have participated in numerous topics where I pointed on the 5-6th reply that either OP was wrong or the article was wrong but for forbid someone would read that and people kept on talking about a fake subject.

You're posting on the wrong thread - what you wrote here is complete off-topic and worthless salads.

This user woke up recently and as soon as they joined the Bitvest campaign they started spamming 60 posts per week. Most of those posts are incomprehensible gibberish. This is a typical shitposter, who has no real understanding of the topics he is commenting on, and puts minimal effort into writing posts for the sole purpose of getting paid.

Are you trying to fool everyone here with your bullshit?
You do the same thing and to dirty local board with your trash posts.




You are also spam using wrong language and edit after I report you.

It seems like you are also saying nonsense to meet campaign quota.


What do you mean Mim coin or Meem coin?



@CryptopreneurBrainboss should consider spammers like WeedGoW
