Is this a copy/paster?

[mocacinno]

Just a quick question... I noticed this user:  "bubble pop" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1114040)

He made this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4750303.msg43323810#msg43323810

--removed quote--
Mining on some cell phones is as of now accessible. Not very far in the past, a few cell phones were made, considering the mining highlights and they are presently being tried. There are likewise different applications that permit bitcoin and other cryptographic money to be mined, yet as of late they have been restricted on Android and IOS. Those applications that are left in general society space don`t bring adequate benefit and are for all intents and purposes pointless.

Directly above this post, user Direwolve735 made post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4750303.msg43323189#msg43323189

Mining on some smartphones is already available. Not so long ago, several smartphones were created, taking into account the mining features and they are now being tested. There are also various applications that allow bitcoin and other crypto currency to be mined, but recently they have been banned on Android and IOS. Those applications that are left in the public domain don`t bring sufficient profit and are practically useless.

At first sight, these posts look nothing alike, but upon some investigation, it looks like Direwolve735's post was run trough a synonym tool... (Allmost) every word in Direwolve735's original post was replaced by a synonym... Or am i hallucinating? I collored the synonyms in equal colors, and the same words in bold.

I haven't dug trough this user's other posts, so no idear if this was a one-time thing, or if he's systematically doing this.

Here's the archive of the original thread's page: https://web.archive.org/web/20180802105308/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4750303.180;topicseen

Is this ban-worthy or am i just seeing things that aren't there...

Thanks for the feedback
BTW... Seems like systematic abuse.. The first report was his very last post, this is the previous post he made... So at least the last 2 posts he created were plagiarised:

Most developers create a coin to make money for themselves, they do not care about the long term prospects of the coins they are creating, they only care about themselves this is why it is getting more common to hear people say things against icos since the developers and speculators are getting rich while everyone losses money and this is simply unsustainable.

plagiarised but with synonyms: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4677867.msg43186158#msg43186158

Most engineers make a coin to profit for themselves, they couldn't care less about the long haul prospects of the coins they are making, they just think about themselves this is the reason it is getting more typical to hear individuals say things against icos since the designers and theorists are getting rich while everybody misfortunes cash and this is essentially unsustainable.

You can keep going on with these tools...

[darklus123]

Upon seeing your post I decided to Investigate this account and you are right this user is simply copy pasting and uses the maybe some of the tools above that was stated by  @mdayonliner. Great Catch tho. Here are some obvious proof of what this person has been doing plagiarism. This user deserves a perma ban.

Original Post:

I think every people right now has many option to sell their bitcoin and with those list, I am sure that they easily to choose the exchange and I think that exchanges is safe. but I think localbitcoin is the most place that bitcoin user use from the list because we can easily find local seller that have a good reputations in the site so we can choose them to sell the bitcoin. or maybe we can use another third party service from our friends which can help us to sell the bitcoin.

From bubble pop:

each correct presently has numerous choice to offer their bitcoin and with those rundown, I am certain that they effectively to pick the trade and I feel that trades is sheltered. in any case, I think localbitcoin is the most place that bitcoin client use from the rundown since we can undoubtedly discover nearby merchant that have a decent notorieties in the site so we can pick them to offer the bitcoin. or then again perhaps we can utilize another outsider administration from our companions which can assist us with selling the bitcoin.

In addition, not only in adoption but the people who used bitcoin is continuous increasing it may helps to keep crypto currency alive and kicking. Bitcoin will never die because this is created to help many people to make our life much better than before without bitcoin i think also that in the future those country who banned bitcoin will reverse their decision to adopt it to help their countrymen

Moreover, in appropriation as well as the general population who utilized bitcoin is ceaseless expanding it might keeps cryptographic money perfectly healthy. Bitcoin will never bite the dust since this is made to assist numerous individuals with making our life much better than anyone might have expected without bitcoin I think additionally that later on those nation who prohibited bitcoin will invert their choice to embrace it to help their comrades

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that the user doesn't only used synonyms it has been also rephrasing some of the words or sentences.
This right here really annoys me a lot since the user copy one of the poster from the philippines and others might think that this idiot is a Filipino.
He even quoted the same reply from the original post.   
Original Post:

I'm curious, how big are cryptos in your country? Are they still collectively referred to as bitcoin, or do news reports and local media actually dive into their merit and the difference between coins, projects, companies etc. I'm from Canada and most of the current news is wavering between reports of malware installing mining agents and the Canadian Security Exchange cracking down on ICO sales.

I am proud to say that my country Philippines slowly adapts the concept of bitcoin and blockchain. there are certain business establishments accepts bitcoin as there payment option and of course we also have exchanger here in the philippines, which is coins.ph which is running few years ago, and more than 1 million members. So happy for that, and as far as i know majority of friends knows bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Have a great day mate., looking forward that every country could accept bitcoin.

I am glad to state that my nation Philippines gradually adjusts the idea of bitcoin and blockchain. there are sure business foundations acknowledges bitcoin as there installment alternative and obviously we likewise have exchanger here in the philippines, which is coins.ph which is running couple of years back, and in excess of 1 million individuals.

Yes, this deserves a ban. As @mdayonliner, they used article spinner. This tools are mainly used by shady SEO guys, to plagiarize content because Google loves to give link juices for unique contents. However, looks like spammers is exploiting this tools and using it here. Those spammers are really evolving as well, not only they used homographs, but now are spinning someone's post, this is still  plagiarism though. Nice catch.

You can get paid by posting here, what did you expect? ban them all but they will come back again if jr members are mostly the ones doing this then we should consider banning them from wearing any signatures.

You can check this topic too:

It seems that it's not enough now to change a few words in a sentence for the spammers, they need to replace (mostly) all of the words with synonyms, in order to escape the report in the copypaster topic....
We would really need a kind of AI to check the spammy posts in the forum, but I hope that the reporting badge will also help...

[BTCforJoe]

If we report these posts, will they be deleted and the user eventually banned? I reported a user the other day that spun an article and posted it here as his own, but I have yet to see any action against the user or the post.

I know that plagiarists are swiftly dealt with, but what about article spinners? How should we report them?

The user was unbanned since he had added the original source in his post, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4805466.0

As far as I know users who spun articles are also dealt swifty and permabanned, they're worse than the copy/pasters, trying to conceal. I usually report them as "text spinning" and do verify such posts using spinbot, "text spinning/verified using spinbot".

If we report these posts, will they be deleted and the user eventually banned? I reported a user the other day that spun an article and posted it here as his own, but I have yet to see any action against the user or the post.

If you reported it with the report to moderator button and you have at least 300 good reports, you can check your report if it has been checked by a moderator or not. If it's unhandled, but the other reports you made after are already processed, you can see that moderators are thinking / checking for things about that post.
If you just made a post in the copypaste topic, maybe mods need more time to deal with it.
