Proposed resolution : A quote which is fully accredited and formatted as a quote, is not plagiarism.
Proposed resolution : A quote which is fully accredited and formatted as a quote, is not plagiarism.
Why is this resolution necessary
Why is this resolution necessary.
My SUSuper User account was suspended for 30 days for plagiarism, since one moderator views answers that are quote-only as plagiarism, and I had four of them (all deleted by the moderator).
My research on SU
My research on Super User.
Since I had some time on my hands these last 30 days, I have studied the Stack Exchange API and have written a program that scans all answers on SUSuper User and checks whether they are quote-only.
- The moderator that suspended me has written enough quote-only answers to be suspended himself.
- Another moderator has written many quote-only answers. I remark that his answers are to the point and were often accepted by the posters. I'm puzzled by him not coming forward to explain to the other moderator that quoting is not plagiarism.
- There are thousands of quote-only answers on SUSuper User and it's simply unfeasible to delete them, as many are upvoted or accepted by the posters. Deleting these answers will leave their questions in a chaotic state.
Questions to the moderators
Questions to the moderators.
And most important : SUSuper User is said to be a democracy. A democracy is ruled according to a set of written rules, and only by those rules. The rules apply to everyone and even for the persons in authority. How can we have in SUSuper User unwritten rules that are applied or not at the discretion of the moderator?
Suggestion
Suggestion
If the moderators choose instead to uphold this plagiarism rule, explicitly or by inaction, I intend to fully cooperate with them by publishing on Meta SUSuper User in bunches the links to all the quote-only answers on SUSuper User, and I will report periodically on the progress done by the moderators in cleaning SUSuper User of plagiarism.
Some answers to moderator Journeyman Geek
Some answers to moderator Journeyman Geek.
Of course, but SUSuper User doesn't have the monopoly on good answers. There are some great answers and blogs in other sources, for example in SOStack Overflow. They don't lose any of their greatness by being quoted. If an answer on SOStack Overflow also solves the poster's problem, why does it suddenly become "low quality" when quoted?
I've been challenged to produce some URLs or shut up, so I chose answers by moderator DavidPostill, mainly because he cannot be harmed by this publication. I have run into the 3000030,000 characters limit on question size, so I was only able to add here 180 URLs.
