Nah, i do not know him and i do not give merits to anyone on the basis of knowing him/her, to be honest, i have no idea that the op has copied it directly from any source because if that's the case then he would be banned till now, i read the topic, it hits me somewhere, i found it useful as it contains something that was already on my mind (related to Trading bots) so, i thought i should appreciate the OP's effort.

If we're talking about plagiarism, I doubt they will get banned for that since they posted the source. It's also not instant and could take time since it typically needs someone to report it. But it doesn't change the fact that this is an extremely low effort post. Op most likely wanted to fish merits by lifting a finger and hoped someone would not notice and bite.

Plagiarism is copying with the intent of passing the work off as your own. In essentially all cases, plagiarism deserves a permaban because it usually proves definitively that the person is here for the wrong reasons: to fill up space in order to get paid, not to actually discuss or contribute.
