@SmokeDetector very low quality

Jan Dvorak

@iStimple are you sure?

@bjb568 uneditably so?

bjb568

@JanDvorak You can edit it to be too broad, sure.

Jan Dvorak

@bjb568 Why too broad?

iStimple

bjb568

@JanDvorak Depends on the food, etc.

Interesting how the guy's name is also all-caps.

Jan Dvorak

I like jCole's response

user163250

@JanDvorak I've actually been flagging each and every one. Not sure if that's really the best way, but I haven't gotten a complaint from the mod's about it yet, so...

user163250

@iStimple anyone who's plagiarized once is likely to have other plagiarized content that is not an exact match, especially if they're account is from India.

user163250

Sounds racist, but the numbers show that it's true.

user163250

5:14 PM

If you find one exact match, start looking through the user's other answers to find if there's non-exact match plagiarized content.

user163250

I would start looking at the highest-upvoted answers first.

user163250

Because those are the answers that have the greatest tendency to be copied from someone else's answer.

iStimple

I see, thanks. Yea, I plan on going through their other ones later.

@iStimple ironically, it is Hawaiian shirt day at my office

@AJHenderson lol, chest hair anyone?

AJ Henderson

some (myself included) wore a t-shirt under

I didn't when I was actually in Hawaii though

iStimple

make sure to go around to all the ladies asking if you can lei them

Andy

@iStimple Hello. This is HR. Please follow us.

awww...you edited

AJ Henderson

I sadly don't have any pictures of the fire breather from the Luau we went to while we were in Hawaii online, well not of him breathing fire anyway

but I can safely say the lei's worked as my wife and I came back with a baby on the way

despite birth control pills

Pops

Is that what leis are for?

Man, all the photos I've seen have people using them really incorrectly.

@Cupcake congrats on your anti-plagiarism success

@InfiniteRecursion your 9th grade english teacher would be so proud

AJ Henderson

@Pops haha, either that or maybe we were just really confused about where babies come from

Q: How to represent a graph with multiple edges allowed between nodes and edges that can selectively disappear

I'm trying to figure out what sort of data structure to use for modeling some hypothetical, idealized network usage. In my scenario, a number of users who are hostile to each other are all trying to form networks of computers where all potential connections are known. The computers that one user...

Q: Female sexuality: Which of the SE sites can I ask this question?

Recently I asked this question on Cognitive Sciences and was told it was off-topic. So I need suggestions so as on which SE site I may get the answer of this question. I am pasting the question here also:- Do girls dont like sex? Or they dont come to that subject unless you go on trying seducing...

@InfiniteRecursion it's not a success until ALL plagiarism is wiped off the face of Stack Overflow :P

OR @Cupcake ... or we can destroy all original sources!!!

Yes @cupcake, true. I will chip in next week, earlier I successfully flagged by manually observing posts, but now I will use your desserts. Just in moral dilemna about the racism which you mentioned, it holds me back.

Q: Why do people downvote so many questions?

This is something that has been bugging me for a while. I'm a young student who enjoys developing software, and I pretty much spend my days doing it for no direct reward apart from self-satisfaction and learning. Whenever I ask people a question on Stack Overflow I dedicate a good amount of time...

Q: Why is there downvoting for most questions these days?

I've now been using Stack Overflow for more than a year. I have noticed that there has been a certain rise in the downvoting for the questions. This seems obvious and non-argumentative if the question is irrelevant, duplicate, too broad, confusing, has grammatical blunders or such reasons. But m...

Can MSO really mentor?

AstroCB

@InfiniteRecursion No, no it can not.

Andy

6:05 PM

@rene, was it you that had a nice graph showing up vs down votes in recent times? I remember getting the base of such a query, but I can't find my message. I don't think it was an answer, unfortunately.

(see above questions for context)

@Cupcake just flagged an 8k and 10k user who had about 5 exact copies each

Bart

@JonEricson At what point do we pre-emptively contact authorities?

AstroCB

@InfiniteRecursion I wrote this query to find downvoted and closed posts from new users on Meta and...there aren't as many as I would have thought, but there are quite a few.

Infinite Recursion

6:24 PM

Thanks @AstroCB. Deleted posts are not counted, that's why the number looks low. I too have high doubts about the success of mentoring by MSO. Let's see how it goes

@Cupcake what does it take for plagerizes to be suspended?

like I had a couple users with 6 exact copies , and all their answers were removed, but does anything else happen?

i hope they run those users through voting rings too

you started the biggest bust since al capone

user163250

cv-plz duplicate stackoverflow.com/questions/21272508/…

user163250

@iStimple I've actually got voting ring queries, but they probably aren't nearly as sophisticated as the tools that are available to mods and SE employees.

user163250

@iStimple I think they might just give warnings for first-time offenders.

user163250

6:45 PM

They probably only give out suspensions to repeat offenders.

Infinite Recursion

Thanks @Cupcake. I will go through those. My racist dilemna is also clearing out, because I did some checks and the unfortunately the numbers seem to indicate a real pattern.
