I have seen permabans for plagiarism based on four or five  words in a row.

I would be pretty sure that bans done from 2010 to 2015 were not like some of the ones done over the last year or two.

I helped and argued for two or three people helping them to have their bans lifted due to really over done plagiarist charges.

I will rephrased my statement to this

Before 2015 I did not track these bans.  I did not give a shit about them because I had not seen the ridiculous bans I have seen since 2018.

tvplus0017 can't remember the name was helped by me and others




because the bans were not fair

I don't think anyone should be banned permanently for plagiarism.




  But a 30 or 60 or 90 day temp ba and a 1 or 2 year signature ban with the signature reading" I am signature banned due to plagiarism"

 seems fine to me.

   The case I make  for lauda punishment is a signature ban 1 or 2 years plus
a temporary ban 1 or 2 or 3 months.



and take back quite a few permabans done to other people.

Lets go to 1 2 3 stikes you are out on plagiarism.
