Default Summaries that are plagiarized will be summarily deleted .....

Yes, I know it's in the rules, but apparently many new and anonymous members don't read our rules. The next time I see a HUGE summary on the background of a gun, I will take selected sentences and google it. Chances are it is lifted wholesale from another site, mostly Wikipedia. Since IMFDB doesn't allow plagiarism in our writing, all that stuff will be deleted on the spot.

Just posting this as a sort of announcement. I'm not going to even ask the person to re-write it. They should know the rules. Now I'm not talking about banning anyone. Most of the time it is done by anonymous IP addresses who make a bunch of changes and Poof! They lose interest and disappear from IMFDB forever, leaving their mark on our site, like the urine stains of a stray dog.

This is just a reminder, (a) not to do it and (b) to edit it or delete it when you see it yourselves. Thanks for listening.
