Ban poll for Lord Jax

Post by RedImperator »

In his time here, Lord Jax has contributed virtually no useful original content and has now three times plagarized others' work, despite being confronted with evidence of his plagarism and being told by Darth Wong directly to stop. The moderators have agreed this is a bannable offense, should the board in general agree.

The evidence:

The Aliens Are Not Insects Project

The first, and most damning, of the plagarism threads. You'll notice that other members belived the work was his initially, and he made no attempt to correct that impression until he was confronted with irrefutable evidence he had copied the essay. This contradicts any later claims he made or might make that he merely committed an error in good faith.

Alien, Investigated

The second thread, where he was told by Darth Wong personally to cease and desist.

Theory of Alien Propagation

This thread has been moved to the HoS and retitled. In this, the final straw, he cited the author in a DISCLAIMER, at the bottom of the article, in small type. It's a clear attempt to obey the letter of the law while still giving the impression that it's his work.

You have seen the evidence, it is time to render judgement.

I don't think there's much choice in the matter since the owner of this site has much work of his own that we wouldn't want to see plagiarized.

It sends a very bad message not banning someone who uses the forum as an audience for work they rip-off from others.

virtually all of his threads have been worthless polls. most of whose answers could have been figured out by a simple google search. i see absolutely nothing useful he's put forth.

Plagiarism is punishable up to 10 years in prison in some cases (according to plagiarism.org) . I say ban.

Have a very nice day.

He's a net-negative contributor. Before he was just worthless, now with his plagiarism, he's less than worthless. Boot his ass.

Yes. He was given every chance to stop, but he did it three times! And he was told in the very first example what was wrong with what he did, and given a slap on the wrist, and he seemingly complied. The very least he could have done was cite the author's name as the author's work, in the by line - not put it down as a disclaimer.

Ban him.

Yes, three strikes, you're out.

This attitude cannot be tolerated on a board where a great deal of members have to do such dissertations and follow the plagiarism code. Jax had better shape up if he is going to try this game at uni.

He's contributed nothing but plagiarised articles to this board. Let's not put up with this ass any longer than we have to.

Bye Bye Jax.

I should add, for the record, I voted yes. Considering that this board is composed primarily of academic and creative types, I expect this poll to be nearly unanimous.

So far, it is. Chardok said that he voted No on accident.

I made my opinion clear in the second thread. The third is simply a big "fuck you" to anyone who has ever created any work themselves.

Ban his fucking ass.

Ban. If he were more useful to the board and actually contributed from time to time, then things might be different but he doesn't so they aren't.

Makes me wish that all the other dead weight on the board would screw up this badly so we could get rid of them, as well.

When he joined, I read a warning from someone (can't remember who) about him. I can't remember what exactly we were all warned about, but the fact that there's something bad enough about him that his reputation precedes him can't mean anything good.

For all the previously listed reasons with the one above for emphasis, ban.
