OMG that's the height of laziness from a Hero Member, com’n Sayeds56 you can do better.
Lol!
Question both votes are not counted? or my vote will be counted??
As I said in my earlier post,
the votes are still eligible for the initial poster, as this one has nothing to do with the fact that his post was copy-pasted later
So don't worry, the original poster's nominations are legit. The problem is that some are really too lazy and, for making more posts or for whatever weird reason they may have, they just copy what others nominated, without realizing that by doing so they also influence the results of the competition. And, excepting that the idea itself is weird and unethical, it may also impact some candidates which will receive multiple votes only because someone is too lazy to think about who he thinks is more suitable to a certain category.
if you need any help, just say so.
Thank you for the good intentions
Now most of the work is done. But if there will be an overwhelming situation in the future, I'll remember your offer.
I'd say: report the post for plagiarism, but don't tag the account. There was nothing to gain by voting, so it's not like he cheated a contest.
Tagging and flagging might be an overkill for this case. This laziness deserves to be punished though so I think that something like a temporary sig ban would be adequate.
Too bad for
Sayeds56 such a stupid mistake can cost him this much.
Oooops that escalated quickly Oo I was barely trying to say something funny in my
earlier post, about reporting for plagiarism, initiating of a flag and negative feedback.
Nevertheless, it actually
is plagiarism, although it's a very dumb one
I did not actually think to do all those actions. But anyway, it was unfair what the user did, this can't be denied. Let's see the resolution of the report now. This may create a precedent for future contests and, in case the report will be marked as Good and a penalty will be applied to the user then this may be a good incentive for everybody to avoid copy-pasting even it the context is a contest on the forum.
