For lower ranking randoms (most often trying to get quickly into sig. campaigns), sure. For established traders who didn't know better? No. I'm pretty sure we had cases like this one before (or at least one-time established member violations that didn't get banned; unless my memory is fooling me).
Correct,
Lone Shark was permabanned
[1] for copy and pasting, but then later unbanned. Not sure if there's any other cases though.

I am not going to argue this anymore; I have better things to do (hundreds of tags in backlog ATM) and I have stated my opinion on it anyways (nor is it up to me to handle such a case). The opinion is not going to change unless something new is presented regarding the user or new cases of said behavior.
Fair enough. Your views and mine don't really matter. What matters is the view of the mods, and by their actions they seem to agree with you in this case. For what it is worth, I have given him negative feedback so that there is a record.
