IMO, permabans for plagiarism should stand. Copy/pasting is usually a clear case of wrongdoing and something everyone should know not to do. If you make the consequence for that a temporary ban, people will just keep doing it until they get caught--which they're basically doing anyway. Plagiarism isn't a mistake people are making. In fact, if you're getting permabanned here, it's usually a certainty that the person isn't making a mistake at all. They know exactly what they're doing and they know it's wrong.
Where is mercy and kindness ?
Oh, please. You can't deal with the level of idiocy bitcointalk is seeing with mercy or kindness. Such sentiments will only give incentive for plagiarists and others to keep breaking the rules and making the forum worse than it already is.

Mate if anyone try to spam on purpose! they will start with new account! believe me!
I See many Spammer after getting banned , goes in marketplace, purchase new account and start again!
But There are the ones who know they made mistake! i really know it was my fault. And i would never create new account.
In practice however this usually isn't the case. 99% of the people who are getting banned are people who are doing this for monetary gain, and systematically. Giving them a second chance would only pollute the forum even more.
For god sake!
just think about it! if i was spammer & it was my regular job Do i ever post here?
i would create or buy a New account. there are hundred of sellers.
Guys just be calm and Dont be harsh. No one is jesus. everyone can make mistake Unintentional
