Snil was only doing the job that he has to do as a moderator. You should also realize the trap17 is trying to protect you and themselves from the law because the last time that I had checked plagerism was a federal offense. I am not entirely sure. Also it is hard to have a growing community if you are haveing unjustified things going on. Also the only getting one warning for two offenses is not right either. It lets the door open for users to gain credits for 499 peices of plagerism like snil said.

All right, since this thread involves me, I think that it's only right that I make a post here.

snlildude87, you don't need to justify yourself or answer to anyone but to administrators. You ARE the moderator and you made your decision. And judging by other posted members, you did good. Good, snlildude, good!

I believe the accuser and the defendant both have said their sides. Unless other members feel they would like to comment further to this thread (click on REPORT and ask moderators to open this forum for you) this topic is closed. Thank you for everyone's valuable inputs.

I personally see no reason why the OP was so angry. Regardless of the actions of the moderators, it would not have happened if the OP used the quotes. "The end justifies the means" It's a commonly occuring trend for people today to not cite their resources. Be it a simple copy/paste from a news article into a forum or information they used to write their thesis. I respect trap17 for making sure people don't get away with information not theirs (or rather, post credit that they did not earn).

Notice from KuBi:

I like to look at the date of this thread and see it's 10 months old since the last post. I think either the member has left or the issue has been resolved. Closed.

Even though I didnt see much of the recent case, the moderators should not be obliged to answer to any normal member why a particular thread was closed, a member banned, and so on. The moderator has made thier decision and that should be it.

If ever you think a moderator has treated you unfairly, it should NEVER be mentioned in a public post like this. Any perceived problems with moderators should be PMed to an Administrator, to do otherwise will only harm the forum and undermine the authority of all moderators. That is never a good thing.

By the way, why is this thread still open? At least 2 mods have said this thread is closed.
