"Just saw another post in the newbie section where someone copied a huge chunk of text directly from Wikipedia about blockchain technology. I've lost count of how many times we've had to call out people for this, but it just goes to show how little effort some folks put into actually learning about the subject. Has anyone else had to deal with this lately?"

"lmao this isn't even a surprise anymore. Copy-pasting from Wikipedia is basically a rite of passage for some of our newer members . Can we please just set up some sort of automated plagiarism detector already?"

"LOL, I swear, some people's research skills are non-existent. I've seen the same copy-pasted paragraphs from wiki on like 5 different threads today. Can we just start a wiki-cutting-room-floor thread or something?"
