bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - CLOSED: AoB's First Annual Display Contest

Little bit, Ron? One little bit? It's more than that. One act is a mistake, many acts are a pattern. They have a pattern of plagarism. For a site that considers themselves to be very highbrow, it's a surprise to see such a tolerance for this. Reprinting articles without crediting them.... running a contest that was lifted en masse from this site administrator's work. In a peer review journal this would not be tolerated, and it would reflect badly on the journal.

And I think that it reflects badly on AoB, a site which I refuse to visit. Their entries can be Kokofuten, and I couldn't care less.
