We've recently had a couple new members posting written material from other people as if it were their own. EvC Forum takes a very dim view of such behavior. There is probably no more sure path to permanent suspension than persistent plagiarism.

Can you suggest what I should tell our new members when I suspend them (as I expect will happen, either that or they'll disappear) and they complain that Dr. Adequate did it and got away with it. Hoping you have a good answer or at least a quick finger on the edit button...

Ah, intriguing. In effect this is "The devil made me do it" defense. Unfortunately it would force me to concede a point on which in my role as moderator I must remain neutral.
