Thank you for your support!
My bachelor thesis is on runtime verification. My plan is to adapt a runtime verification language into ruby on rails so that it automatically verifies everything on new changes. It is a push to see if academics and real world use can be connected, while keeping the strong properties of the language.
MinnowBooster is working hard to ban all plagiarism. But as @patrice can probably confirm, it is a loosing battle. So we rely heavily on users reporting abuse they notice.
Sounds interesting and promising, all the best for your thesis! And yes that's very true, searching content as a curator gives an idea of the abuse that's rampant here. But your dedicated work for the community is notable, keep it up :)
