One-liners, over quotes, etc. are OK in my opinion, but not plagiarism.
I get that the WO thread is akin to a gated community on this site, but I don't see any reason (except for moderator manpower) why any of those things should be tolerated there and nowhere else on bitcointalk. Is this really a forum where there's a single thread full of elite-class members exempt from the rules? Gimme an effin' break, eh? I do see the sense in having certain rules that do not apply there. And I don't think it's because they are considered an elite, maybe some of them consider themselves as such, but I don't consider the WO thread regulars to be anything special because they are regulars. Everyone, WO or not, I can have a special consideration for having been on the forum for a long time contributing positively, knowing a lot about Bitcoin or other reasons. The regulars there for the most part do not carry a paid signature and it is the only thread they visit, or where they spend 90% of their time. I also agree with suchmoon in that it works kind of like a chat room that's why I see it like a special place of the forum. And don't think I'm just saying that because I'm frequenting it. Some time ago I used to frequent the thread, but it's been months since I've been there. Then there are negative aspects of that special status that the thread has. For example, for a newbie who writes a bullish one-liner about the price of Bitcoin, it is easy to get merit. Also if he says that he has bought or is going to buy a certain amount of Bitcoin, and the like. Some know it and go there to see if they get merits. We have seen this in recently banned members. Tbh, the hat club or whatever name they go by has been on the thread for ages, they don't care about the DT system, Merits, or signature campaigns, and they don't post anywhere else, as long as they stay there with their shit, it doesn't harm the forum in any way.
I agree.

If it's about plagiarism, using the "report to moderator" button is a waste of time because no moderator wants to waste time digging up evidence of plagiarism if the case isn't reported on a thread with evidence.
Thus the petition to remove "Report to moderator", although what you said is abject nonsense. Moderators don't need to dig anything up. I report a post and in the report there is a link to the original text. That's all the evidence they need. I wouldn't be able to provide any more evidence in a thread and it would be ridiculous if moderators check a thread (or multiple threads) for mod reports but not their actual mod report queue. But again, if that's what's happening then remove "Report to moderator". Edit: grammar.

I just said: "plagiarized from:..." and put a link to the original article. My reports were handled So it is not necessary to use LoyceV's thread. And that is something that should work on the WO thread.

I just suggested another way to get the mods' attention quickly, and you called it "abject nonsense." Keep reporting the old way, but don't blame anyone when your cases are ignored. There is no moderator on that board, every reported case is assigned to a patroller, and from what I recall, the majority of the patrollers are inactive. I am with suchmoon on this. The first times I reported people for plagiarism I did it using the "report to moderator" button. I just said: "plagiarized from:..." and put a link to the original article.

We all do, but taking other routes will not kill anyone, because we can't keep complaining about the same thing over and over when the people in charge don't give a fvk. It's like going to McDonald to order a burger knowing they're terrible.

It's like going to McDonald to order a burger knowing they're terrible. But let's see one thing: having created this thread, don't you think it's enough of an alternative route? What does he have to do? Apart from reporting using the "Report to moderator" button and creating this thread, also put everything detailed in the thread to report plagiarism that LoyceV created? I think with the first two actions he has already brought the case to the attention of the moderators sufficiently, even of theymos. If they don't act it's not suchmoon's fault.

There is no evidence to suggest that mods take action based on the posts in that thread or any thread. It might be useful if there is a larger amount of evidence, so that making a post and referencing it in a report is more convenient, but it shouldn't be required to do so. And yes, I will blame the staff if they ignore post reports. It's their job to handle them.

so maybe just put a piece of tape over it or something.
That, "put a tape over it" mention actually killed me with laughter 😂. A tape, indeed. Apart from plagiarism, I think since WO is a prediction thread we are bound to get so many junk and spam posts there. It's like what happens in all prediction and gambling threads. However, if you're so much concerned about the unhandled cases; I believe sending pm to mods will expedite action on that, expectedly. For plagiarism, using the relevant thread for it here to prove the case and draw attention of mods will suffice like Igehhh opined.

I understand that WO is still moderated, even if it is less moderated than advertised. Reporting spambots for example should result in action being taken.
I have also reported rule violations in the WO thread for rules that are not enforced (these reports were made in error), and said reports were marked as bad.
I think if something is remaining in unhandled status, you should regard that report as a "soft bad" type pofts.

I don't know if a bump will do this any good, but blatant copypasta is again flowing freely in WO and the "Report to moderator" still exists so what exactly are we supposed to report, he asked rhetorically.

Another one "unhandled" for a week now. You can see this one tried to be clever and mangled the text here and there. The parts that make sense and seem to be in English are copy-pasta. The incoherent word salad and weird punctuation/capitalization parts reflect the user's real literacy level. FTX , SBF & Customers funds
World leading Crypto exchange FTX had already in troubled with liquidity crisis. FTX valued at $32bn but now FTX bankruptcy in 11 November 2022. After competing offshore crypto exchange , binance backedout of a deal to acquire it and users withdrew around $6 bn in funds. After collapsed $1 bn customers funds vanished from exchange FTX , then by tricking FTX CEO SAM BANKMAN Fried secretly transferred more than $10 bn customers funds from FTX to SBF trading company Alameda Research.
FTX, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange platforms, is in major financial turmoil.
At its peak, FTX was valued at $32 billion. The company filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 11 after competing offshore crypto exchange, Binance, backed out of a deal to acquire it and users withdrew around $6 billion in funds.
At least $1 billion of customer funds have vanished from collapsed crypto exchange FTX, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The exchange’s founder Sam Bankman-Fried secretly transferred $10 billion of customer funds from FTX to Bankman-Fried’s trading company Alameda Research, the people told Reuters.

Another one "unhandled" for a week now.
The only board in which I don't think to click on the "report to moderator" button, for more than obvious reasons. I recently wrote somewhere that it would be much more efficient if at least Member rank was required for posting in that board, that would disable the majority of those who play merit hunters in that board.

The wall observer might be a wall of shit, where a lot activities that won't be allowed to go on in other boards does come through without any effect or moderation, bots are even allowed to make posts there and be cool, people just post whatever pictures they want or just spam and get merit rewards but, I would also say I've come across some great arguments and compositions there too. Like posts from the likes of JayJuanGee. Most times, you've get a lot of thoughtful insight crafted in a way to direct and nail a concern in some both rigorous and simple ways where it applies. Also, we get a board to keep the price of bitcoin on the forum than making it an off forum activity for exchanges.
Although, I would acknowledge that the abuse done there is much, might need some serious moderation and fair enough, posts there doesn't count towards any paid promotion except, the loads of data that is been stored on the forum.

My humble submission to the learned members is that I unknowingly add a part of a news item to the post, which is outside the thread rules. So I promise not to do that in the future. I will be very grateful if you forgive me. Anyway this is my first mistake. I will be very grateful to the moderators if they give me an opportunity to correct the mistake. Thanks If you also give me permission then I will delete my post. And I strongly promised that I would never make any post on WO. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg61283637#msg61283637
