On 21 December, 2021 KirQ posted a Tale to the wiki titled "Our Fates". It was brought to the attention of the Disciplinary team that this Tale contains a very large portion of its content taken 1-to-1 from a YouTube video. Although sometimes and in some contexts YouTube licenses may offer compatibility with the site's license, no attempt to cite or comply in either letter or spirit was made in the use of this content in this article. After internal discussion and with respect to the fact our stance and police on plagiarism are currently being revisited, Disc still finds this a serious enough offense to merit disciplinary action.
Given the user's current status a Junior Staff on the Licensing team, this breach is regard as more severe and this feedback is being discussed with their Captain.
The Disciplinary Team is thereby taking the following action:
- 15-day site ban for plagiarism to expire on 26th July, 2022.
- 30-day timeout from any staff association which begins upon the expiration of the ban, period ending 26th August, 2022.
- Summary deletion of "Our Fates" per current plagiarism policy
