Two immediate things...

First, if using more than a couple lines from anyone else, put it into block quotation so the division is clear.

Second, as explained in the style guide (tiny.cc/DebateArt):

Plagiarism
Unless clearly indicated otherwise, you are taking credit for writing anything you post.

There are only three strict rules on avoiding accidental plagiarism:
If you copy/paste anything, put “quotation marks” around it, and provide a link.
If paraphrasing (putting what they said into your own words), still provide a link.
If no link is available, still give credit. Example: “Descartes put it best with his we think therefore we are.”

Author consent, does not dismiss plagiarism. Accidentally plagiarizing does not dismiss plagiarism. It not being many words copied does not dismiss plagiarism. Even common knowledge, does not dismiss plagiarism. Just follow the above rules.

As a debater, if you spot it, give the audience proof of the crime; then continue your case.

As a voter, automatically give conduct to the side which did not commit plagiarism (and state “plagiarism” in your RFD), then assign a penalty to arguments based on the degree of cheating. A minor slip up (like borrowing a line of rhetoric to emphasize a point) is wholly forgivable, building a case reliant upon plagiarized material (such as instead of making your own argument, merely copy/pasting one from Stephen Hawking) is not.
