Another user plagiarizes your review?

jennawood79 copied my review word for word minus the 1st sentence:

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/5-paddles-american-red/253925/

I call bullshit.

In fact, all their reviews are copy & paste jobs. Nice.

There has in fact been a thread about this, but it has been moved to the admin forum for some reason. I wasn’t even able to read the OP, when I clicked on the link it had already been moved. Don’t know why. There are multiple users lately who are just copy pasting, look at ratings from http://www.ratebeer.com/user/339429/ or http://www.ratebeer.com/user/339604/ or the user named beerlove231. They’re all copy pasting eachother or others and have somehow rated all top 50 beers. Weird huh? Although I personally also hate it when people do this: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/boulder-beer-business-time-mild/134219/204582/

Hope something will be done about this, but I have no clue whether it’s being discussed on the admin forum at the moment.

It certainly is being discussed in Admin and the offenders are being contacted.

On the other hand the "plague tuned" in the review is a great autocorrect error.
