That is something that is not quite clear to me.
Have the rules on the forum really changed and for plagiarism you no longer get permaban?
If so, then the admins should make it public.
Even if the admins have decided not to be as strict with certain copy-pasting incidents, I doubt they are going to write about it in public. The goal is not to invite people to do it and have them use such statements by the staff as an excuse. If it became known that the 1st and 2nd reported plagiarized post is forgiven, for example, it will become madness.
