And you could have carried on with your posts, but writing the text yourself and sourcing the copied part. It was your decision not to and stop posting instead.

Then you have to crawl, beg and jump through hoops in the hopes that maybe they'll stop.

As far as I see no other post after was downvoted. What hoops exactly?

That's such a BS rule someone made up.

You mean that if you take text from someone else, you should source it? :)
They teach that in schools. You, as a content creator, should at least be aware of that.

Why don't we all start copying text from the internet, because some people on YouTube do it...
