Text spinning/disguised plagiarism

[Piggy]

I still don't understand why the forum doesn't use a service like turnitin that complies writings and gives each writing a plagiarism score, and those that score too high can be automatically flagged for review by a moderator.

Is always a question of time and resources.
There are other problems as well which could be "easily" solved by adopting some particular solution server side. On the bright side part of the community is quite active in finding solutions.

Well theymos has said multiple times the forum is not in need of money. If this is the case, I don't see why theymos would not subscribe to some kind of plagiarism service.

Further, there are hundreds of thousands active users, and over time, it will become more and more difficult to detect this on any kind of manual basis.....I am not entirely sure how the OP was able to find these examples, but I suspect it would be difficult for someone to read a post and make a determination if said post was "spun" from another post.

Just found these two posts, which were back-to back:

Because they turn their brains off, logic off, when they start to dream of good opportunity that pays off. Most people do this for all sorts of things.

Most people do this for all things because people want to be rich, that they start to dream of good oppurtunities.

I reported them for basically saying the same thing, both in the idea and in the words.  They're probably alt accounts, but who knows.  These morons think nobody's looking at them and that they can get away with this crap.

Here's another from this spam thread:

people can learn if when bad something happened and they can learn from experience. If they can't learn what has happened with them maybe they are is stupid people and hoping can get more.

People learn when something bad happen to them they will make this as their lesson and learn from it just like investing in crypto check first the project know all the people behind it to avoid loss of your money.

I agree with adding more automation as well within the forum, as i was saying before there are several issues that would benefit from this.

The service you linked is probably using machine learning, on this matter, with the quantity and diversity of messages present in the forum, i believe there should be enough data to do other cool.and usefull things as well with a custom system.
