This is an important issue your raised here. I have only ever reported a post for plagiarism a few times but the most recent one (yesterday) was reported by other users long before I reported it.
FatFork was the forum member that highlighted this issue about samputin but that post has not been removed and that user has not been temporarily/permanently banned:

I have reported spam and pointless/nonsensical posts in the past and most of them are addressed one way or another but with reporting plagiarism it seems many forum members are not seeing the outcome they would have hoped for when reporting posts (such as temporary or permanent bans).
Dear moderators, can I ask you what the latest plagiarism rules are?
I have reported several cases of plagiarism, but no action has been taken on them so far.
Yes, I see that you began to give temporary bans to beginners (if I'm not mistaken). Then let's make it known to everyone that if you are a newbie, you have the right to copy anything you want.
In addition, the forum strives to provide unique content, so why aren't cases of plagiarism even removed?
And another question, how many times can newbies have cases of copying so that punishment will apply to it?
