Plagiarism; Don't

Recently, a particular unnamed "contributor" decided to post a Magnemite analysis in our very own analysis forum. Thinking he had a great analysis, he brushed off any help people tried to give him regarding how stupid and useless his sets were in the fast paced, offensively oriented little cup metagame. His actions were shunned by our moderators and his thread was locked. However, this particular "contributor" did have good reason to think his thread was all he cracked it up to be: he copied and pasted smogon's Magnezone analysis. Who could possibly think the most respected competitive pokemon site on the web could steer them wrong?

But this thread isn't about the differences between LC and standard, it's about plagiarism. For those who don't know, plagiarism is the act of taking credit for someone else's work. Furthermore, in any public institution, it's illegal. Now, the Internet follows different guidelines than an office or college, and I would be insane to think I could get any one of you arrested for copying a smogon analysis, or taking slapping your name on a battling guide you didn't write. But I promise you this, if I ever catch anyone else so flagrantly playing me, and this site, for a fool, I will do everything in my power to convince a mod to get your lying, cheating ass banned. And I hope the moderation staff feels the same way.

Caution for flaming. As much as I may agree, please don't do it unless you're in the Oven (or the mod forum). Next time you could get a real live warning.

Plagarizing will be added to the standard rules set imminently.

Sorry, but that really pissed me off when I found out what he'd done.

And where is this oven anyway? Is it a subforum I'm seeing, or an actual thread?
