Whenever I encountered a copy-paster, I always report them. Reporting them require me to find the existing thread ,archiving and quoting the evidence and file my evidence report in any one of the below thread.

I saw rickbig41 in LoyceV thread banning copy-paster but it does not look to me that moderator has gone through the whole list and below question of LoyceV is still unanswered.
Question for Mods: if I report the post, and it gets deleted, do you still ban the account based on the archived link?
Theymos himself banned some users in marlboroza thread.
Very well-spotted!

Anything that'd get you expelled from a university for plagiarism (which all of the above-banned examples would) will get you permabanned from this forum, regardless of your rank.
So it is proved beyond doubt that forum permabanned for plagiarism but why the forum still not created any sticky thread (and off course a single thread) to report them.
Apart from a single sticky thread , I will suggest to create a list of permabanned user for copy/pasting and moderators giving track that which post of that thread they have processed. This will help in reporting as we can easily check whether user is already banned or reported by other but pending review by moderator so no need to take action or re-report.
PS: It take effort to report the user but when nobody take actions on these reports then it look likes wasted time and effort and in other hand it give wrong signal that forum is not serious about plagiarism.
