Why this case is special? User break forum rules more than once and received punishemt. It's harsh, but fair. It's his fault that he didn't read forum rules.
I don't think agree that ban duration for plagiators should be implemented. Plagiarism is a cancer of this forum and we should find against it severly. It's public secret that many of banned users just continue using forum from new account, or they just buy rsnked account. And from what I see ban evasion is another problem - such users rarely get caught and banned.
BTW, in general only copy-pasters and malware spammers don't get second chance. If user break other rules he usually get ban for 2 weeks, month or more.

Don't feel bad for people like that. They didn't read the rules before they plagiarized content, and you shouldn't even have to know there's a rule in place on a forum to know better. The rule is there, and so is the consequence for breaking the rule. In case you haven't noticed, plagiarism here is like an epidemic, and the punishment for doing it doesn't need to be softened--plus this topic has come up before and the general consensus was that lifetime bans were appropriate. Theymos didn't change a thing.
That particular ban appeal that you linked to was so full of heartfelt emotion and a cry for mercy....and you fell for it. Members who pull this shit aren't being honest right from the start and don't expect them to learn their lesson. They'll just keep trying to figure out ways to not get caught, because there's a reason why they resort to copy/pasting: they don't know how to write, or have nothing to say, and they have to write something in order to get paid from the bounty they're in. It's just laziness mixed with dishonesty, and that kind of behavior does not need to be tempered with mercy.
This is not the justice system, and any comparisons between the rules of an internet forum and any given legal system are just plain wrong.

Recently, I read the following thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/humble-request-to-unban-my-account-darkie199-5104259
...and felt bad for its OP. It looks a bit harsh and cruel to permanently ban an account for spamming, plagiarism, or whatever the (similar) reason is. It's like a lifetime prison! Even if the thief is caught stealing, it doesn't give him a lifetime imprisonment, instead he's freed after 2, 3 or 5 years. Why can't we apply the same rule here? Most stupid people won't understand anything without a ban (no matter how many warnings they are given). However, going for a lifetime ban for this still looks very harsh.
IMO, lifetime bans should be replaced with something like 90-days ban. This much duration is enough to make someone realise the mistake!

Your opinion is understandable, however, you or I do not make the rules. It's a privately owned forum, deal with it. 🤷♂️
