Hi mod: plagiarism of advert - is it ok??

[tamiya_model]

Good day to moderaters, not looking to cause any trouble, just want some helpful feedback. Is it okay for another cser to plagiarise the main text used in a classified advert?

you know wat... technically, he did not go against any of CS' rules. our rules prohibit copying/using of pics without proper authorisation from owners of the originals. but it doesn't cover ads... so, you got me there on this plagiarism of ads... :dunno:

i guess you can ask him nicely to remove/edit the ad?

Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback. I understand now that plagiarism is a non-existing concept even in a court of law, so I doubt if it would be upheld in an online forum. It is the moral integrity of each person to give credit when due, and this guy just didn't bother.

I just wanted to clarify what CS stand is on the matter, I will take no further action as I do not see the point. Thanks again esp to nightwolf75.
