You Both are wrong. <...>
Report to Moderator will not cause Permaban for copy pasting.
^^^You are wrong with this one. With my experienced, they are permaban or autoban when you report them to moderator, kindly see some examples below:

BannedAutoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #2306270
Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #2109896
Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #2183376
Since more banned users are complaining or in need of the reasons about their ban, I put red trust to a plagiarist just to lessen the work of any staff or any users to find out why (they just need to check the trust history I am not a DT member, so, they can check Untrusted feedback). Some or previous reports about plagiarism have no tags or when I am lazy.
Good luck!
See you around.
