I saw what Norm did there, and here is the story from my side ( if it matters)
he out of good intention called out a scam company swiss miner and posted their ads video from youtube in this topic.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093468.0he then copied one of the comments from the YouTube video and pasted it , see phil's comment
I went to youtube and ask about getting one.
and unless you are changling of youtube you did wrong and could be banned
As you cut and pasted this comment without quotes

that comment from youtube was also deleted about the same time when frodocooper deleted that "Plagiarized content"
what do we know?
1-Norm could have been the same person who posted that comment on youtube ( very likely).
2- He forgot to quote it, but clear as day he wasn't intending to steal some else's words since he posted the source for the comment.
if he didn't post the link to that video frodocooper would probably never realized that "Plagiarized content"
i know that rules are rules and frodocooper is doing his job, which honestly he does quite perfectly,but we the miners community know that Norm wasn't a shitposter or someone who would simply copy-paste for the sake of it, he was a very good member, with many constructive posts, i am sure that most if not all members from the mining section would agree to that.
i was waiting for him to appeal for himself, but i do believe that he doesn't know much about the forum's ins and outs and he probably just gave up and left for good, i hope theymos will look into this issue with an open heart and mind.
Thanks Steamtyme for starting this topic.
