Does it count as plagiarism if a proposal writer lifts entire phrases verbatim from your posts in their drafting thread, inserts them into their proposal, and doesn't credit you? I know people have their own choice in deciding whether to include a co-author or not, but when one person's contribution in a drafting thread constitutes about half of the final version, including direct copypasta, it makes me curious as to where the line exists.

Only speaking for myself, whenever I suggest wording in someone's drafting thread, I don't mind if the author uses it word for word; that's why I suggested it.

Is this a correct interpretation?

It's probably safer not to specify "Humans."
The way I read the recent ruling, however, Ard is saying that it's perfectly fine to specify, for example, "This resolution forbids any procedure involving the clipping of the foreskin from the penis," even though not all species have penises, not all genders have penises, and not all penises have foreskins. Or something like that.

I probably wouldn't.. but I may catch someone doing it in the future, and an answer on if the exception for GA#16 still applies, would be helpful. But thanks anyway, Kenny.
