    I remember nos tres reges (the name the plagiarizer is going by atm) from VINCET and it's sequel, which aren't up on ff.net anymore. Part of me wonders if this is some kind of a test to prove how much you can get away with on ff.net. That's probably a stretch though.

    Is this the same guy I found a few weeks ago, Taure? But just with a different nick? Or is this a new one? Anyway, I find it amusing that after that whole thing with reddit and the story continuation stuff, a ton of our stories get ganked and posted under different author names.

    Illuminati and all that.

    Also, hey Tinn. You aren't dead after all.

    Edit:
    Ah, okay. That is the dude.

    I think you're overestimating Alexx.

    Top two guest reviews. Ain't that cute. I'm pretty sure it's the same guy. I haven't blocked him, but he got burned, so went anonymous.

    What makes you think that? He'd have just posted on the plagiarist's profile.

    No, guys like that treat the review page like a message board. He saw something he feels he needs to reply to, so he leaves a review of his own. He's leaving a message for the impersonator that's claiming you plagiarized him.

    The plagiarist didn't plagiarize me. The guest refers to "the "author", who shamelessly plagiarized this". What would "this" be? Lesser Evils, I think. The thief claimed I had plagiarized it. The guest comes in, sees the thief's reviews and has a knee-jerk reaction without checking, leaves an anonymous fuck you to me. Faulty reasoning?

    But maybe you're right. Not like I can PM this guy and ask.

    When I read it, I understood it as Rep did, in the way that the Guest was using your reviews in order to reply to the plagiarizer and defend you. To me, it seemed like when the Guest said "plagiarized this" he meant your story had been plagiarized by someone else.

    But I could be wrong.

    I also took it that way . . . it was defending you, ScottPress. Although, I can see how it is not exactly spelled out.

    Is there any way to get the stories taken down?

    And the next round. He's calling himself sedacrus now. I have to say, celebrating getting my internet back with seeing my new story posted on FF.net without my help was not what I had in mind.

    Also, since it's only posted in the WbA, evidently it's forum member. I am in favour of suspending all forum accounts except the ones I approve personally.

    Until then, feel free to report.

    Heh, looks like he's got one of my fics too.

    Who the hell would want to plagiarise Turncoat?

    Anyway, reported.

    Also, I would support an additional layer of permissions that protects WBA from general access by non-participating members of the community.

    He had to have access to the WBA the first time around as well - the story he stole from me could only be found in there. Oddly enough, it hasn't been stolen this time around. That's fine by me since the story was a turd.
