This answer posted by Magento/Android troll is probably plagiarism. Although it may, at first glance, seem to be a good answer to the question, if you read carefully it actually has little relevance to the question, and does not answer it. It seems to actually answer a question more like "how do I prove that 1 + 1 is three."

Although I was unable to find where it was plagiarised from, it seems to be plagiarism, and seems to have gotten upvotes from people who do not understand the question or answer.

A: Regarding definitions of modular functions and modular forms

A naïve answer would be to take the sum and the RHS modulo $1$; however, a "number" $\mathfrak{a}$ modulo any number $n$ is in fact an equivalence class $$\mathfrak{a}=[a]_{n}=\{b: a\sim_n b\},$$ where $\sim_n$ is the equivalence relation defined by $a\sim_n b\iff a=b+kn$ for some $k\in \Bbb Z$. ...

agreed, the answer fails the turing test

if it is genuine, it still is useless in the wrong place where it has been posted

John Militer

Also, this user has a reputation for trolling

darij grinberg

not sure where from; is there some deleted context?

@darijgrinberg You can see post by the same user that were caught (or reported) by SD in Charcoal: chat.stackexchange.com/…

Or to be precise, posted by a user with the same username.

But this one was posted by the same account.

oh! but i can't see those posts by search, as they're deleted

though i do remember seeing some of them from the smoke detector

Martin Sleziak

Yes, that's true.

darij grinberg

haha english.stackexchange.com/questions/517370/…

Martin Sleziak

Still, even some of the still visible posts on other sites by the same user seems close to trolling.

darij grinberg

glad that question got answered, so he could use that knowledge right afterwards on m.se

Martin Sleziak

Such as: What if I drank diarrhea? (And the question you mentioned is probably not meant seriously either: What does it mean to call someone a wipe?)

gawd trolls were funnier back in my days

this is near-0 effort

wondering if the name is a joe job

Martin Sleziak

Anyway, I'd guess that the answer "Regarding definitions of modular functions and modular forms" could be safely deleted.

darij grinberg

it's not that trolls post under their real names usually

Martin Sleziak

I did not know the term joe job.

BTW that answer also got into the low quality posts review queue.

Q: Any math suggestions for new wiki called HandWiki

I'm a part of the team who started HandWiki, which is a free resource dedicated to math and computing. It is still in an early stage, but it can be promising for math (less restrictions for posting articles than for Wikipedia, but more demanding for academic credentials). Do you have any suggest...
