I'm not trying to pick a fight, but I wonder which forums you frequent, because in the 8 others I REGULARLY participate in (this is not to mention the countless I casually indulge in), they ALL enforce policy which requires sources to be cited lest you be banned! So your comments about ambiguous rules vis a vis Plagiarism on the net seem to be based on your own experience (depending on WHICH forums you frequent) I guess, but rest assured it is not the case everywhere.

 

I guess it boils down to what the admins of this site think about it.

 

Stay safe.

 

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
