This was not plagiarized from the site linked (archive.org). The table of contents was taken from the magazine itself (I'm assuming that is the "plagiarism" being referred to). There is no scam or fraud here, it is very clear where the table of contents comes from.

The source is not clearly mentioned in the post.
Anyway, even considering your mention in the first sentence, it only changes the post from plagiarism into 99% copypasta with no original content added. Basically a spam post.

The source is the entire topic of the post. I don't know how it could be more clear that the table of contents of a magazine is from the magazine. The table of contents entries were hand typed and formatted for Hive. Don't worry, I won't be doing that any more but this was not fraud or plagiarism. Those are false and libelous accusations. Neither does it fit any actual definition of spam. You don't like it, I get it, but to falsely accuse someone of fraud and threaten blacklisting seems a bit extreme to me and not conducive to any kind of positive interaction.
