Considering how many first offender accounts are still not banned, even if there's crystal clear evidence, like here, here or here, banning HedgeFX after his alt P2Pfinder got already banned, would be very inconsistent. Even first offenders don't get banned if there's crystal clear evidence.

Basically, P2Pfinder / HedgeFX got his initial punishment already by getting P2Pfinder banned and after that, HedgeFX learned from that mistake.
In my opinion, there's enough punishment already by banning P2Pfinder.
I'm not a friend of this ban evasion rules anyways, especially because it has been enforced on a very irregular basis and it's pointless for this autoban bullshit anyways.

And with all those first offender accounts still not banned, banning HedgeFX and basically giving a double punishment to OP, would be very inconsistent in my opinion.

So the right thing is to ban all the offenders who violated the plagiarism rule and if the admin or Global mod thinks that the person may deserve a second chance due to the contribution towards the forum then they can give an excuse for them.

Probably mods missed those reports that is why bthose users are yet to be banned but if we report them then it is likely to receive their perma ban. Well, let's see what is the opinion of mod about this cases!
