Cheating in Answers?

I don't see anything unusual, but I can see that that certain person is definatly copying other people's answers..

I've reported it, too.

Unfortunately there are a lot more people than the one you have in mind, who copy and paste the answers of others. This is one result of exploitation of the Edit function of answers, where a 'placeholder' writes a non-specific answer first and later on copies and pastes a subsequent good answer using the 'Edit' function.

If someone does this unabashedly, even when he is not the first to answer a question this way, it means he is out here just to get points and does not bother about niceties.

If you have enough evidence of such wrong things going on here, it is best to report such persons giving adequate proof.

It is high time YA changed the 'Edit' facility given for answers, so that any edit would appear one below the other (without changing the original answer), like what happens for editing questions.

This has happened to me. A user...who shall remain nameless...has often copied my answers and not acknowledged where the answer came from....and yes, I reported the person, that's all you can do as you are in violation of the community guidelines if you call out that person publicly.

Remember the difference between copy and pest over similar ideas or expressions.

We will guard against such cut and paste operations .

Take a pledge not to copy from others .

I guess, but

1) what are you going to do, theres not much you can do about it

2) If they are cheating then i guess they won't learn much for themselves

3) why are you so angry about it, it's only 1 question
