That list doesn't say anyting about the posts, a banned user can still have good posts (let's ignore plagiarism for this statement

).
Oh, for sure. And the actual content of some plagiarized posts can be really rather good. I was just using the list to highlight the fact that many users, including senior users and staff members, send merits to members who are then banned for a variety of reasons, and no one ever tries to seek retribution on the merit-sender.
