But is the ban permanent after the first offense? Even if it is, I always think there is some right to appeal. Either way, that's not the subject of this topic.
Yes. You will be permanently banned if you make a plagiarized post and the appeals are very unlikely to be accepted. Temporary ban is usually issued for spamming.
Right, that's what I thought. So how is he active today? Wasn't he banned a month ago? At least that's what I understood, but maybe I'm wrong.
That means that you can login to your account even if you are banned.
