Well, at least you admit it. But even if you were posting for signature earnings, I think you would have earned the same when you wouldn't have copied anything and only posted your own additions. I can believe this was a honest mistake from someone who doesn't know this forum is so strict on plagiarism.

A long signature ban would probably work.

My main concern is that us fighting off plagiarism from spammers leads to collateral damage by banning real users who wouldn't be banned if spammers wouldn't use plagiarism at such a massive scale. This forum and the Bitcoin ecosystem needs real users.

Let me bring in this example: I reported the user for plagiarism in 2017. I didn't appreciate how he copied my text to compete with my own service. He didn't get banned. I'm okay with that now, as it's better for the forum not to ban real users for small things, and I think his case is quite similar to yours.
