Plagiarism Without Spin-offs and Such

This post may be relevant.

If a project uses significant portions of code from another user's project, then the project should be saved as a spin-off of the original. Copy-pasting into a new project (with or without credit in the comments) is not sufficient and will lead to the project being hidden.

If only minor portions of code are used, such as generic button functions, collision detectors, etc. then you do not need to use a spin-off. In this case, comments in the code with a link to the original project is sufficient.

(Just copied straight).

Imho I think that if the program is even like 40-50%+ someone else's, then it should be a spin off. A lot of people also just don't read the comments in the code (perhaps you are might be hinting at this program).

Ok perfect thanks. That helps a lot. Yeah honestly I was thinking right around 50% as well... OK actually I was talking about another program that I think has been hidden but yeah that's literally a perfect example of what I'm talking about.
