Those two statements kind of don't jibe.

Of course they don't since you omitted first part of the sentence where I thought that was his only case of plagiarism in which case I wouldn't personally give anyone permanent but instead signature ban but then it was discovered that it wasn't the only case and he was doing it on the regular basis whihc changes things dramatically and was probably the reason why he was perma banned.

Heh? I'm saying that arguing for any kind of signature ban, even if it's temporary (and I doubt it'd be that short) would drive the member to create a new account to start earning money with--and you acknowledged that the latter half of that statement is true. So why dole out any signature ban?

Anyway, please forgive me if there's a misunderstanding--it's quite possible, as I was up >24 hours when I wrote that post and have yet to go to sleep. My mind is foggy and everything is running on autopilot. It's amazing that I can even type out legible sentences.

By the way, I haven't been looking at too many ban appeal threads lately and don't have a sense of what the mods are doing in the way of punishment for plagiarism. Are they actually handing out signature bans? Has anyone received one?
