This spam has been going on for a while Sad

First, there's this:
I think you can post in this thread Report plagiarism (copy/pasting) here. Calling for Mod action: please permban also since copying their own post multiple times also will be considered as plagiarism.

Reference:
It's a permaban. This is no different than copying someone else's post and if you do this then you have absolutely no intention of contributing here and you're 100% only doing it to farm your account and/or bleed bounties whilst putting in no effort at all. It's scumbags like these that are destroying the forum. If they're too lazy to actually make posts then don't bother.
Hilariousandco's quote was aimed at a spammer, and although it's not technically plagiarism, it's just spam on the forum.
In your case, although posting the same thing more than once is against the rules, you are doing the forum a service, so it shouldn't be a reason to ban you. Check cryptodevil's post history for example.

Update: Xal0lex quoted the same post, but I'd like to emphasize that it's being pulled out of context. Check this post to see the spam-context.
