Plagiarised forum guidelines

This should be flagged for plagiarism. Until then, I in fact am going to advance the plagiarism with this statement:

Most cases of plagiarism are considered misdemeanors, punishable by fines of anywhere between $100 and $50,000 — and up to one year in jail. Plagiarism can also be considered a felony under certain state and federal laws. For example, if a plagiarist copies and earns more than $2,500 from copyrighted material, he or she may face up to $250,000 in fines and up to ten years in jail.

Just sayin......(I plagiarized that as well)

    I wonder why they would say this, you actually think they will start to police our forum in the future?

    I too am curious about this. Is this your own editorial Jaffa, or is this plagiarized verbatium?



    Yeh, I edited that bit for the sake of those who would ask who the moderators are?, but, I couldn't rule it out all together as I simply don't know, hence my cliffhanger.

    For reference, these guidelines came from the Scrabble forum and EA General Discussion forum.


    Yeah, you have to be careful in that Scrabble forum. I went there once and didn't think I'd escape with my life. Don't be fooled, the moderators hang around the periphery there, too scared to take any real action.


    Good one Peru...pe·riph·er·y, that's worth 19 points.
