Several times we have been asked, what is the maximum % of Plagiarism in a document we would see as acceptable. But the fact is we leave this question for our users to decide upon and we have never before gathered any feedback about it.

When using Plagiarism Detector, you can set some % threshold to get all the reports with more Plagiarism to be highlighted. This poll is to for us and other users to come to know, what threshold do you set?

Your comments are welcome.

It's hard to say. I'd love to say zero tolerance, but that's unrealistic sadly.
