It basically invalidates the entire argument of this thread. It isn't like the user has this posted under every single one of their posts...


... because you are carrying that sign which can be used by people to attack you instead of addressing the post (typical in discussions in which someone doesn't agree with you and just use something else that isn't part of the point, like a grammar mistake or physical defect etc...).
As for the whole "they'll be taunted in arguments intellectual debates" thing... oh, puhleeeeezzzz... "you got sigbanned so your argument is invalid" is about as effective as "you're a sigspammer so your argument is invalid"  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

If someone has to stoop to that level... it's going to be fairly obvious to anyone with half a brain who is actually winning that debate Wink



Just to be clear, I'm claiming that 100% of people that plagiarize did so to boost their post count intentionally with the intention of escaping detection. That means that they did not value their post enough to read a topic, come up with a somewhat insightful response, and reply. Rather they found a relevant post somewhere else and responded with no thought put in to furthering a discussion.
I think you're giving too much credit to some of these users... insofar that I doubt that they believed or knew that they needed to escape detection of anything. Most of them haven't read the rules until they got banned and linked to the rules in their "I didn't break any rules Ban Appeal" threads. Roll Eyes
