Thanks; that’s good to know. Per my prior post, I infer that hilarious was probably one of the mods bringing down the ban-hammer on plagiarists.

Was there any formal policy on this, or was it just an ad hoc decision by some mods that behaviour that can get you expelled from school really doesn’t belong on a quality forum?

Any admin, or moderator with relevant banning privileges can and could ban a user for this kind of behaviour, it always seemed like an obvious thing... if anything temp-banning and sig-banning in lieu of permabanning is a relatively new approach to give users whose post quality wasn't too bad overall a 2nd chance.

A separate question: Is there any log of moderator actions that would reveal why BadBear banned Lauda? It is probably not information that should be tossed into a troll feeding frenzy; but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look. Lauda has always specifically praised BadBear to me, when it wasn’t even remotely relevant to any current controversy; thus I infer that whatever it was, she must have learned her lesson about it.

Sorry, I don't even remember when that was. It could have happened while I was inactive.
