Plagiarism or not? Forum policy on copying topics from other forums

[TomPluz]

Do we have any policy on whether copying topics from other forums are allowed if the poster gives credit (and links) to the original post? Then again, moving interesting topics from other places could improve the forum and the level of discussion.

Usually copying posts verbatim from other forum or sites should be construed as plagiarism. Now, what if that post in the other forum was made by the same member who is already teleported here? I think the policy is that there should be reference plus the poster has to make some comments on it further telling us something more on the topic because for all we know Google or any search engine algorithm can flag it as just another copy paste. With the way things are...I am sure that there is now a need for clarification from the forum here on this matter so we can be guided accordingly. Plagiarism is not something that should be tolerated and must be avoided at all cost.

Is this only applied to individuals not posting services or their own content? For example, my managers thread is a direct copy/paste and if I am looking for certain services i post on both forums. I am not copying others work, and I understand the difference between what this user is doing and what I am asking. Just making sure I haven't broken a rule myself.

This is not a category of plagiarism, a project owner or even a BM who has to repost his writing here certainly does not violate the forum rules. The point is that if someone copy/paste someone else's writing into their writing, that is plagiarism.

So now my question is if I copied paste here those post of mine from others forums with the source links is that also act like plagiarism?
Yes, I will include some new word to posting here but it won't be too big.

It's not plagiarism, because you are rewriting what you have written in another forum. but in some cases, there are members who will be able to report the case as happened here

it's better to create fresh topics

but what about those who copy 5 lines from a blog, or let's say a half blog but instead of just pasting them directly here, they are pasting them inside the quote tags, like the following but with source link also.

you need to change the color to red if you are not the author

In support of what everyone else have said, outrightly copying and pasting a post belong to another person outside the forum, even if the user references the original post by sharing a link to it, but fail to include his or her opinion concerning the same post he or she copied, and as well, ask the community's opinion as well, then, that is a clear plagiarism, nothing else it can be called.

I myself do sometimes copy posts from other sources, but I always make sure to do it in such a  manner that the post I copied looks like it's a reference to my own point I'm making, or question I am asking the community, I don't just copy people's post and post word for word, without saying anything any thing of my own, that is clearly wrong and a clear plagiarism.

Got it, thanks for the reply, from now on I will be careful to keep this rule in mind because I used to do quotations a lot on BTT, but less here. With time and familiarity with the topics, I might start a little quotation here as well, for example answering to a newbie's question by quoting someone else post. I thought the quote would do the task but next time I won't forget to make the color of the text RED.

Thanks again.
