Permanent signature bans

What to do with those who plagiarize, but do not use the paid signature? What is the alternative for such users?

I suspect these people are few and far between. Especially if you consider that some of these people are trying to rank up their accounts to use paid signatures in the future.

How do you define "few and far between"?

Most permabanned users are newbies. How many newbies get paid for signatures?

This thread is in regards to those banned for plagiarism. There is little reason for someone to plagiarize if they dont think it will help them earn money, either immediately or in the future via a higher ranking account.

At least half of all permabans (probably a lot more) are for plagiarism. 75%+ banned users are newbies and brand new (nuked newbies most likely). So there seem to be other reasons for them to do it, for example to bump ANN threads every few minutes. They have no real chance to rank up.
