Recently, I discovered a site that was plagerizing nearly all of my important stuff from my site. I mean, word for word to the point that he forgot to take my site name off some of the documents.
Is plagerism like that a TOS offense?

You have rights to everything on your message board. So if I were you, Report the forum and have the Staff decide.

That's the thing. I reported the forum days ago, as well as 3 other people to my knowledge so far. It's still there, and the guy is in GOAYB asking for rate on the content of his site, passing it off as his own.
It's not like he only stole one thing, it's nearly all my important school policies and programs that he's stolen. Even basic things that don't take a lot of creativity to create, he's taken word for word. There's at least two of them where my site name remains, and the rest can be compared to the originals off my site, and you can see it's word for word.

The TOS says nothing about stealing content from another site, I wish it did though. It's more of a moral thing, hopefully an ADMIN here will post in this thread.

I had this problem recently. It was ideas people were stealing... ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) The admins told me to send in a TOS violation, and to include all info. They said that it could never hurt..

Just so everyone is aware, the TOS Violations are not determined by ProBoards Staff, but by a different department. Read the Second Post here.

Well, I know in the past that boards plagerizing to this extent have been removed. This same guy has now plagerized my entire board for a 3rd time. And the plagerism isn't just limited to posts, as he copied my header box content as well, though he tried to edit it to not make it so obvious.
But, since this forum is still around, I was wondering if the stance on plagerism like this had been changed.
