Nope, not for copy and pasting. This is a forum meant for discussion. Copy and pasting is blatantly spitting in the face of that, and results in a permanent ban.

The ban hammer for copy-pasting seems to be coming down less frequently these days. Multiple accounts which have been caught seem to be operating freely.

Some of these are open and shut cases. For example whitemacna. Pick any of his last 100 posts. They are all copied from earlier posts in the same thread. Have reported him multiple times. Absolutely no action.

Not to drag this too far off topic, but since it is in direct relation to my statement which was an address to the OP. I just banned a few, a couple I saw they cited their responses or were at the very least incredibly on topic. That doesn't necessarily make copy and pasting ok, but if someone asks a question, and you respond with a concise answer from another source, and cite that source, I can cut you a little slack. Its typically easy to tell who is spamming to increase their post count, and those who just couldn't really word an answer any better themselves.

Sorry it took so long, sometimes things go missed.
