Why do I say it's the laziest ?

Well first., let me describe what kind of plagiarism is considered an abuse at APSense when commenting on an article or a RevPage.

2 cases :
  1. Copying content from the body of the article
  2. Copying the comment of another member in that same article or RevPage

Now, if you copy content from the article and you are the first comment, if the article is short, you're playing with fire

But, if you copy a comment and post it as the NEXT comment...

Many of you might say "Nah, nobody is that stupid or lazy"

Well, click on the link at the beginning of this article if you believe that it never happens.

I will add that it's not the first time I see it. :(

Now, if I was the author of that article, the comment would not stay there for long, just long enough for the abuse reports to get through. The admins recommend to leave it there for 24 hours.
