naim027 never ceases to amaze me, and not in a pleasant way, for things he did in the past lately. I'm not going to go into what has to happen with my "alt account", what I do think would be interesting is that some moderator would clarify what the rule of thumb is in cases like this. If someone who plagiarized in the past but has stopped doing so, apparently because he was warned about it, is he allowed to continue in the forum as if nothing happened or will some punishment be taken?
I didn't know what Lucius said:
... you might be unpleasantly surprised at how much plagiarism is no longer punished as severely as before.
There is a parallel between the case of lovesmayfamilis and naim027. One would not understand why one was punished and the other is not, unless the explanation is that the rules have changed, perhaps because the forum gains more if someone who plagiarized in the past and stopped doing so but contributes positively today is allowed to continue his activity instead of being punished.
But it seems to me that we are not going to have an explicit answer on this, on what is the criterion to be applied, although it would be ideal.
