Perhaps one out of every ten works? That would be enough to discourage it from happening in the first place. You can use systems such as Copyscape and/or BitScan to make it much easier if you needed. Something to consider, I am glad that this matter has been resolved and applaud you for handling it so swiftly!

I just wanted to let you know that we've deleted the infringing articles and place Alex's account on suspension. Further violations will result in a deletion. Plagiarism is something we take very seriously at Bleacher Report. However, due to the open nature of the site it can be very difficult to police and often we must rely on the help of vigilant members of the community or the online sports world at large like you. We're also looking into further means of rooting out plagiarism before it happens, and will use this incident as further motivation to bring added measures into place.
