Is there Plagiarism on forums?

LOL, Well for lack of a better word. It seems to happen A LOT, someone will comment on a thread and then within 2 min the very next comment from a different user is almost identical just wordsmithed a bit?

Obviously I'm bored this morning but just something I have noticed lately on alot of boards.

This is why I rarely post . Only so many answers to a question .

I feel most of it is people not reading the entire thread and commenting on the topic. I am sometimes guilty of this on a few occasions when posting from my iphone. The rest is people trying to post whore!

It's definitely people not reading the whole thread, which I am guilty of when I'm on my cell phone, but there are a few trying to get there post count up.

Lmfao, Bob gets a lot of shit for being the most prolific post whore. He's like Mr. Rodgers though, always positive. I don't think I've ever seen him post in a negative light.

:banana:I agree with this and I am guilty of not reading an entire thread on occasion as well.

Yeah im not sure though. I dont really ever see purposeful copying. I think its probably people like me that dont read the whole thread and just post. Maybe a lot of people use their cell phones? That or just post whores.

Ive had a few times where I posted something in a thread and then went in another thread Ive never been to and read the exact same thing I posted. The last time involved unicorn farts.

Dont see how its plagarism.

Quoting or agreeing with a person by repeating almost the same thought is not plagarism.

Now copy/pasting a article into a post and not giving credit to said article is. This happens often in forum arguments/quote wars.

Maybe if OP could post links of examples.....
