Do you ever copy somebody else's post from one forum and post it on a different forum as your own?

No, that's weird.
-
No.
-
Has this question been copied from Reddit???
-
To quote JackGreenEarth, from earlier in this thread,
No.
-
The most reasonable thing to do is to cite the original publication and its author.
-
In MLA format, no less.
(I'm sure there are better ways, but I've never used anything else extensively.)

Dude I own this NFT. Do you really think you can get away with theft when you’re showing what you stole directly to my face. My lawyers will make an easy job of this case. Prepare to say goodbye to your luscious life and start preparing for the streets. I will ruin you.

Weak copy pasta, would not copy again, 3/10, maybe 4/10 with rice.

Only if I think I have much to benefit by doing so, i.e. if I have a problem and someone asks how to solve that problem more succinctly than I could.

For the record, that is much more helpful than just posting a link to the original comment. There’s nothing worse than finding your exact question, the answer is just a link to a now dead site and the only comment afterwards is “exactly what I needed, thanks”.
That’s worse than the Denver Coder situation.

Yea, you'll occasionally see the perfect answer to a question - passing on that information is helpful for everyone.

No, DrSatan. I never do that.
But now I will, starting with YOUR post!
-
No, that's plagiarism.
-
You mean where two guys fight with their fists?
-
-
Dr. Satan! WHAT are you implying!! Actually no I'd never do that anyway because I have so many of my own opinions, it isn't hard for me to dish out something from my endless supply of unasked-for commentary.
-
There's other forums? Fora? Either way, no.
-
Now we all need to be like that one guy on lemmy who copyrights their comments

No. Never even thought about wanting to.
