Answers should be tested by whoever writes them, so at the very least, you can add something like: "I have found this solution of XY, which I have tested and can confirm it resolves your issue." | |

In that context, I'd say the voting shows their community dosen't agree with it as much, and isn't a great indicator of best practices. Its a 6 month old post that got bumped up so - even if I was worried about looking bad, its a bit late for it. I think I've communicated quite extensively on my views on the topic already. | |

| Jun 6 at 8:28 | comment | added | harrymc | For what it may help here, I agree of course with your answer : quoting/citing is distinct from plagiarism. It can be called "site rules" or anything else but not plagiarism. The whole point of my post was to get the moderators to get their terms straight and also to get their act together, punishing me and others while a moderator has with total impunity a hundred times more such answers than anyone else. | |
| Jun 6 at 6:18 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @JourneymanGeek When someone is accused of plagiarism because they properly quoted a source, I don't need details: this is a false accusation. Both SO and SU use English. | |
| Jun 6 at 6:13 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | This isn't SO, and I'd point out the response from a mod got ~2x the upvotes you have, even if it mattered so... details are pretty important | |
