Are not cases when a user is banned for plagiarism displayed as "Autobanned"?
Or am I misunderstanding something?
Usually, if an account is banned for spam, its account is not shown as Autobanned, meaning that the user himself can understand that this is a temporary ban. Isn't it?
And all other cases I see in bpip.org as an Autobanned.
Yup, I mean the offender that gets banned, logs in and sees the ban message. Like what you mentioned, not sure if the plagiarist would see he/ she is banned for "plagiarism" or "plagiarism or spam".
For the spam, that's correct. I was temp-banned once for reflink spam, although I didn't know where it came from until some time later after realizing my thread went missing.
Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.
