Recently, I have noticed that a few new members have been posting written material as if it were their own even though it came from other people. As with all academically inclined networks, EvC Forum does not look kindly no such behavior. There are few ways to earn a person a permanent suspension, and one sure way is persistent plagiarism.
While looking through this forum, it occured to me how an admin might tell one of these new members in question if they complain that older members such as Dr. A have done the same thing as well. One suggestion I have is to blame it on our DNA. But then it also occured to me that making such a statement, that the devil made me do it defense, by a moderator would certainly appear too unimpartial, especially for this forum. Another suggestion I have is to tell them that it's funny and perhaps even explain to them about the Origianl Sin.

The quote mining version...
We've recently had a couple new members... EvC Forum takes a very dim view of such behavior. There is probably no more sure path to permanent suspension...
