Even when a criminal is caught in the act of stealing,he/she is still allowed a fair trial in the court of law,and called a suspect until proven guilty by the law...

As hilariousandco correctly pointed out, bitcointalk isn't a court of law; it's an internet discussion forum.

If copy/pasters/plagiarist were simply ousted from the forum without an appeal message/a thread to discuss about their ban
It wouldn't go down well with the forum as it'll be viewed for it's highhandedness and unwelcoming nature..

Plagiarists aren't welcomed here. And I would add that members who get banned do in fact get a message with an e-mail to which they can send their ban appeal to. What they don't get when the ban is issued for copy/pasting is a message stating that fact--even though I'm pretty sure most of them know what they did.

I absolutely agree with TMAN. Discussing your ban in Meta is pretty much useless unless there's been a mistake made. That happens rarely, though. Most of these threads are just excuses, begging, and time-wasting. At least if the ban message included something like "You've been banned for plagiarism", it might help cut down on the amount of appeal threads being made. In any case, it won't hurt anything to include one.

would be better to rectify the message explaining that unless you are innocent and wrongly banned, there is no point in appealing.

I'd support that, too, except I'm sure that most of these moronic copy/pasters think they're innocent and wrongly-banned. That's why I suggested in another thread that an example of the plagiarism be included in the ban message.
