Forum Mods can update the forum rules over time, especially for AI. Some people use AI to write posts

Edcrypto91. I reported 4 of his posts, and 6 of them got deleted. But he didn't get banned, which is disappointing. Maybe he got a temporary ban, but I can't know that. Chat AI spam is plagiarism, but without a clear source, it's hard to prove. If shitting all over the tech boards isn't enough to get this user banned, reporting him feels like a waste of time. He's now on my ignore list, which makes one less user report his posts.
I have no problem if Moderators want to give someone a second chance. Even if they think someone deserves several chances, that's okay. But, it should vary from member to member. You have to see who the member is. If it's someone prominent member or someone who has the potential to contribute positively. You may give them several chances to prove themselves. I saw ETFBitcoin reported several plagiarisms of the same user and he is still doing the same shit every day.
A permanent ban is too harsh with the ban evading rule. But, when you are giving them several chances and you see he continues doing the same shit. You should think about it. If you see the same user doing it again and again, you shouldn't forgive them every time. Users like Jamestown, Godlovesyou, and many more deserves punishment for what they doing.
