Common rule violations

These are the most common rule violations that newbies make. There are other rules than these.

Plagiarism: If you copy some text from somewhere, then you should have a good reason for it, and you must link to the source. Doing otherwise is plagiarism. Changing a few words around doesn't matter. If we find that you plagiarized, then you absolutely will be permanently banned, even if we find it years after you did it.

Is this rule still applied?

The only thing is that in some cases someone will not be banned for a case of plagiarism that is considered minor, that was a long time ago and that was only one time.

See what Theymos said in the quote above, it clearly read and i quote ..

So from the above, theymos didn't make mention of some cases that can be considered minor, and he also didn't state that if they find the plagiarized content late, they will pardon the poster, he said that the poster will be banned even they find the plagiarized content years after it was posted.
So what I personally understand from this is that, the rule against plagiarism is still in full effect, that they are currently not taking actions on plagiarized contents right now does not mean they wont take action on it forever, they probably might be very busy with some other very important stuffs at the moment.
There is this parable in my place which says.....That you did not see flames or smoke in a fireplace does not mean the fire is quenched/dead.
