Everything is case-by-case.

...I'm glad to see the case-by-case approach being implemented...

...I like the case-by-case approach...

I am very happy to see that the case-by-case approach is used when dealing with abuse on our forum.
This is for sure, very time consuming and adds a lot of work but is the only way to be fair and avoid mistakes.

I was some time ago in such a situation as described above, because of my laziness I got into trouble.
Accused of plagiarism only because I copy and pasted content to be helpful and provide a fast answer to a newbie member. I have added in my post that this text should be quoted and added author username. That was a really a cold shower and weak up call for me on this forum.

I am happy that I was not banned only red trusted for a few months because I am on the forum for so many years and never did anything wrong before.
If I would be banned for what I have done, even for a short period of time, I don't think, I would have ever come back again. Let me explain why.

First, when that happened I was angry and wasn't filling that I have done something wrong. Took me some time to finally understand that indeed, I did something wrong and against the forum rules.

Thanks to a few very valuable members like those quoted above, I was able to understand my mistakes and change my behavior on the forum.
Started to contribute, reporting abuse (almost 3000 reports), adjusted my post quality and help to build my local community.

I think today, I am a different member thanks to a given chance.
