[Q] Plagiarism question

Postby Saint Mildrith » Fri Aug 14, 2020 10:53 pm

Hi :)

I'd like to copy the contents of my threads from my previous account (I decided to retire that account), but I don't want to be hit by the plagiarism rule. I will be posting from the same IP address and device as my old account, will that be enough to ensure that I won't be hit with a plagiarism warning? Thank you so much :)

I was thinking - if you are copying the entire thread without much change, wouldn't it be outright better if you ask your current nation to become the new owner of those posts? I know you can transfer OPs but not sure about threads wholesale.

If it's copying your own content, that's fine.

We only do that in exceptional circumstances; not when someone has chosen to let their old nation CTE.
