The OP actually admitted to breaking rules that he learned about after the fact (in other words he was not aware of the rules at the time of the violation). It is the expected behavior to break a rule multiple times if a person is not aware of said rule. While I do agree that the fact that the OP engaged in copy/paste posts makes it appropriate to ban him, your logic is flawed.
He should have researched the rules when he made his first account, or at least after that one was banned.
Being uninformed isn't an excuse for breaking the rules, especially when the information is freely available and easy to find.
