Proposed resolution : Quoting cannot be called plagiarism
@Destroy666 - It’s not clear there actually wasn’t plagiarism, the answers from this suspension were never provided, only one example was provided and it was a low quality copy and paste answer. They were conveniently not available. However, it doesn’t matter, despite being warned NOT to submit low quality copy and paste answers that pattern clearly was repeated due to their current account status. The length of the suspension this time followed the guidance for suspension length.

Failed audit test: "how to run the program in safe mode windows 10?"
It’s helpful if you link to the audit when you want to complain about an audit candidate. If it’s a bad audit candidate then the community downvoting the question (if it’s a bad question) can prevent it from being an audit candidate. I will say what I said a dozen times before, open the question in another tab, if you find it difficult to recognize when a review item is actually an audit. I remember the question, it was a bad question, and was deleted There was both “ok” about that question

Question which should have the answer "it is impossible"
I am not making any suggestions because I don’t believe the question can be modified so it can be undeleted, and ultimately answered. Because as I pointed out the default behavior absolutely is NOT to use Word Online. That would only happen if Office wasn’t installed on the system. The rest of the applications you listed don’t have the capability to open Word documents. You were asked for information but you never modified your question to include that information

You also obviously cannot open a Word document with (SharePoint, OneDrive, or Azure) as none of those have the ability to open Word documents without an appropriate application installed.

Question which should have the answer "it is impossible"
The default application absolutely shouldn’t be Word Online, it should be Word, if it was installed on the local system. Question should be modified so it can be undeleted, reopened, and then answered. It’s not eligible to undeleted

What suggestions does the community have toward helping reopen this question?
Your question seems to be encouraging a discussion on the topic. Super User isn’t a discussion forum

Proposed resolution : Quoting cannot be called plagiarism
@FranckDernoncourt—This time around, There were only close to a dozen answers. There is a history and a pattern. I could likely find at least 500 quote-only answers submitted by Harry this year if I took the time to do so. The only reason I won't is because I have a feeling Harry won't be submitting quotes, only answers in the future. If that does happen I will be the first to flag them. I will also submit a comment linking to this very discussion.

@FranckDernoncourt—"You don't address the fact that the OP was suspended for doing so in a few answers."—Here is the thing. HarryMC submits dozens of answers daily, which is perfectly fine, but he didn't have a few answers deleted. They had nearly a dozen answers directly deleted with regard to this single instance.

@harrymc - You should be editing those incorrect answers in that case. There are several users which often will delete an answer they have submitted once it receives a single downvote. I rarely provide any comment about my downvote, for those users, because it's proven to be a waste of my time to provide feedback.

@harrymc - I have voiced my opinion on nearly 150 of the answers you provided a link to, in my opinion, I would have liked them to be more than a signpost. However, trying to improve hundreds of answers which are signposts, submitted more than 5 years ago isn't a productive use of community time. I expect an answer to be more than a signpost. In this one example I would argue the question shouldn't have been answered by anyone. At a minimum I would have wanted to see the reason you thought the comment that Aiml3ssCalam1ty made was accurate. I certainly don't agree with it.

@harrymc - Here is the thing. You have a habit of submitting an answer, and the moment it receives a downvote, you delete it. I won't hold that behavior against you, even though I think it's toxic behavior, that the SE software should not allowed. It's my personal opinion that a contribution should not be deleted by the author unless it's peer reviewed by the community. With that out of the way, you have been warned about low quality copy and paste answers in the past, here is when you last had this discussion in 2020

Proposed resolution : Quoting cannot be called plagiarism
@harrymc - "Which leaves still open my above proposition" - If "A quote which is fully accredited and formatted as a quote, is not plagiarism.", then I do not agree with the proposition. You can quote something but if you do not properly cite your source then it can still be considered plagiarism. Here is my thought, these answers which were deleted and have not been shared, were likely low quality answers. So I could agree that while those answers were not an example of plagiarized content, they were low quality

After looking at nearly 100 of those links, I would say, the community would not be harmed by the removal of the vast majority of those answers. However, I don't feel trying to improve nearly 200 answers, most are 7 years old would provide any substantial contribution to the community. In other words, these answers helped the authors of those questions, but none of those questions have hundreds of votes or hundreds of thousands of views.

So I was actually only intererested in your 4 answers. I have looked at 4 dozen of those answers, and everyone, really should contain more than just "here is some external information" but everyone I have noticed is from 2014.

Your complaint you were not warned before you were suspended, as been pointed out, you had been suspended for plagiarism in the past. So your not going to be warned, before each suspension, if what caused you to be suspended continues to happen. I have been suspended before for rude responses, I corrected that behavior, by copying and pasting close reasons instead of using my own words. I also bail on any conversation that makes me "scream into a pillow". I also carry a travel pillow with me at all times....

"You're citing academical standards, which have no bearing on the issue at all." - It absolutely has bearing on the issue. Those academical standards are reasonable. I will repeat what I have said in the past, an answer which just contains information that was copied and pasted from a website, is not helpful to the community. I am still waiting on these examples of answers, which I presume you argue to not be plagiarism, to determine if there is anything I agree with in this question. Your last edit is just more complaints which in my eyes are unjustified.

@Mokubai - So in other words they were low quality. Submitting substantial low quality content is suspension worthy in itself but were these examples plagiarism (I can’t say). How you quote and cite material is universally accepted throughout academia. We all have done it at least once, so not doing it properly, isn’t excusable. You can quote and cite as much material as you want in college but if you never summarize anything it’s nothing more than someone else’s words which is plagiarism. Wrote 5,000 reports as a MBA student and 2,500 was quoted from material and rest were my own words.

I encourage getting rid of any answer that doesn’t meet our minimum quality expectations, but if you are going to use a script to find that content, you better be darn sure that content is what you say it is. Which is still the reason I haven’t signed up for automatically flagging spam even if it’s %99.999999 accurate

Without context I cannot say if these answers you describe were plagiarism, however, if these answers didn’t quote and cite the reference and provide some sort of original content I would deem them as nothing but a signpost.
