we will try to check as much as we can. if somebody's sole goal is to win a contest without putting any value to posts we will take measures as much as we can to devalue those posts for points.

Here is a sample of a post that has been copied from another website and no credit were given to the original author

Tips on Improving Employee Motivation??

here is the original copy
Ten Tips on Improving Employee Motivation | Labor & Employment > Human Resources & Personnel Management from AllBusiness.com

although this member is not in the contest they have rules that says

"Exact copy paste won't be allowed. You should rewrite the content if you have to take the text from anywhere. We would use copyscape to see if anybody copying from somewhere else. If a contestant is found copying, we would disqualify the person from the contest."

so I hope that no one will do the same crappy posting...

After checking all posts made by the user margrett it all was copy paste... I wonder how this will be dealt with?

Ya.
"I didn't wanted to take name of numberone" but i was talking about him.
HE did more than 400 posts in 3 days and in almost all of posts i noticed he posted without reading the thread as he posted off topic things.
I don't think he should be banned!!
He should just be warned by moderators and he will improve.

Why shouldn't he be banned? He clearly showed no regard for the rules, but then again this forum only wants content regardless of it being garbage posts or not.

Any "normal" webmaster forum, he would have been banned instantly.

If the idea is just to fill it up with contents and with the sole purpose of winning without taking into consideration whether it will add value to topic or interest, then I'm sorry to say it's a lost cause.

I just took pity on Marik and the rest of the mod team trying to work their way through to maintain the forum at its best. Nevertheless, I will still try my best to contribute to the forum and actively participate in conversations providing valuable info to share among all.
