@Unihedron ... and your answer is code-only

@JanDvorak Well yeah. Actually they should just change how duplicates work altogether. Having it "closed" as being a duplicate isn't that accurate, as the linked thread is subject to deletion or changes, rendering the link obsolete.

@JanDvorak I might. Build colloquial threads.

@Unihedron What is that supposed to mean?

Infinite Recursion

12:02

@Louis They will decline it IMO, code blocks which can be reached individually by different users is declined. Unless it's a clear case, it gets declined.

Uni quoted it from the spam

Louis

@InfiniteRecursion The block of code is exactly the same in the newer answer as in the later answer, comments and all.

Yes, people can come to the same solution. If it has any complexity though, two individual folks won't come to the same exact code. (Check the 2nd block in the older question.)

Unihedron

Hmm, the comment lines and indentation are identical

Louis

Exactly.

Infinite Recursion

I can see the similarity, but from my experience of flagging plagiarism, my vote is that it will be declined. Plagiarism is a big thing, so they accept it cautiously.

Louis

@InfiniteRecursion I've never had a plagiarism flag declined, ever.

Unihedron

12:06

Considering the suspected plagiarized content source is actually pretty large, a 24.03% content match might be worth the suspicion. Whether it's actual plagiarism will be up to the mods to investigate.

Look at the users' rep history, it's suspicious (to me)

Infinite Recursion

@Louis That's great

I had 2 declined, and I agree with the reasons mods gave...code blocks can be written independently

they may edit and add attribution to that answer, that happens too....

Louis

Again, two people can certainly come to the same solution but coming to two identical substantial pieces of code, with identical comments independently??

Infinite Recursion

apparently...

Louis

Even attribution is not enough.

Unihedron

Who knew, maybe they both plagiarized the same blog post.

Infinite Recursion

12:11

I know

Louis

@Unihedron that could be the case. It does not make the flag declined.

Unihedron

Cupcake's had seen a bulk of answers plagiarized from an old, gone blog. so...

Louis

I sure hope whoever handles plagiarism flags does take the time to do a bit of search beyond what is mentioned with the flag itself.

Unihedron

You're supposed to include all evidence and findings within the flag itself though.

Infinite Recursion

plagiarism is a messy thing...I still don't know if it's good to edit attribution to an answer and encourage the behavior...but those are my personal opinions about ethics

I am curious to see how you flag is handled

Unihedron

12:15

stay tuned...

Infinite Recursion

@Unihedron Cupcake faced a lot....I feel bad for him...he is a nice user

Louis

@Unihedron Let me get this straight. The moderator who handles the flag is either a) going to take the info from the flag at face value, in which case the moderator could make a terrible terrible mistake (maybe the flagger flipped the posts around in their head and is flagging the wrong one, for instance; it has happened) or b) the moderator is going to verify. If the moderator verifies, should they not also check beyond the flag itself because (again) the flagger could have made a mistake.

If the mod check other sources (e.g. Google) and finds both posts are plagiarized, then what? The flag is declined because some information was missing? Is that it? I really doubt so.

Infinite Recursion

also, they may edit and add attribution and decline your flag...because you could have salvaged the answer yourself without their intervention :)

Unihedron

2

Infinite Recursion

the concept of salvaging is still kinda vague for me...I will learn eventually

Louis

12:19

@InfiniteRecursion There is nothing to salvage there. The entire original part of the plagiarized answer is "This might be the best way!". It would be quite different if this answer added something substantial to the other one. Then yes, it could be slavaged and that's something I would do myself (with a comment to the author of the answer that failed to give attribution).

@vba4all I'm surprised you haven't commented that the user has 4 answers on that question

@bluefeet that question along with all the answer should be deleted.... wouldn't you agree?

Jason C

Hey bluefeet you want to put the nail in the coffin on stackoverflow.com/questions/26912604/…?

bluefeet

@vba4all not sure, at this point it's got no VtC and the answers are relatively good so I'd hesitate to delete it. However, I'd think the person answering would prefer to have a blog with all those solutions

@InfiniteRecursion you assume it was me

Infinite Recursion

Oops...mistake.

Sorry

Braiam

darn, I saw a funny ad with a cat in the side bar... can't find it now :(

bluefeet

@bluefeet In her defense, when you're in the room and attention is drawn to questions, comments do tend to mysteriously evaporate soon after.

@JasonC comment flags are the easiest to handle by any/all of us

@bluefeet You know, you're a good politician at heart.

Anyone have ideas improving the phone number regex?

user259867

capture the matching string (everything between spaces), exclude if it begins with 0x.

Jason C

@Unihedron Well, not starting with "0x" maybe for that one.

Braiam

@SmokeDetector false

How about we ignore word sequences that follows a json object tag ("words": (numbers) ) or binary sequence (0x) from the phone number to match?
