I closed the reports because they didn't seem to be a big deal, but did want to bring it up in this thread so that Dissonance can address it it if he likes, and also to let the people making the reports know we are not ignoring them.

reports almost sounds exactly like ignoring it. Unless you meant you looked into it and found plagiarism to not be present.

At least there's a way to check for fraud. People are dishonest and it really sucks.
