This is a reply of @theymos on a topic related to ban.
Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.
If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.
I think the pemanent ban for plagiarists is very hard to remove unless you can make a good case on why the forum needs you be back again. Waiting for the ban to remove is not enough to remove this punishment since it’s a
permanent ban.
