Dear Indusse,

I'm writing to you in my official capacity as one of the World Cup 82 hosts. It has come to our attention that at least two RPs posted by you have been directly copy and pasted from other sources on the internet, that is to say fully plagiarised. The following RPs have been found to be copied exactly from the links which follow them.

NS Sports isn't a forum where directly plagiarising from other work is allowed, and Valanora has already posted in the WCDT once this qualifiers directly stating that it is completely unacceptable to post fully plagiarised content as your own in a NS Sports RP.

While it is possible that you missed the WCDT warning, consider this you being explicitly being told by the WC hosts that plagiarism isn't acceptable. It is my duty to inform you that in light of these events, we have seen it fit to [b]reset your rank+RP bonus to 0 for the rest of the tournament.[/b] If you should plagiarise again, please be aware that further, WCC wide sanctions may have to be taken.

[b]What can you do now?[/b]

Obviously, it is important for you not to plagiarise again. Work on your writing, sentence structure and finding topics to write about which interest you. Let me be clear to you, this is not us punishing you because we don't like you or anything, you can come back from this. If you just work on writing coherent, well written RPs from now onwards, then there is plenty of space in the NS Sports community for you to have an active and fulfilling role.

If you have any further questions, fell free to TG me back with them. However, the decision to reset your rank+RP bonus is irreversible for this cup, that will not be changed.

Regards,

Apox
