I mean a possible better solution would be to have a downward point spike on the answer, then force it to CW, then restore it to zero. If it's people rep farming that would stop it. I seriously doubt it has often progressed to step three consistently for any given user. | |

| Oct 5, 2012 at 2:28 | comment | added | user25656 | I don't like this part: Ultimately it's about people being able to find the answer, not getting credit for the answer. It's too reminiscent of a "the ends justify the means" type of argument. | |

I've seen @jokerdino leave a 'stop plagiarizing' comment under an answer and then the author quickly deletes the post. It's a small minority here, but I think users who habitually violate the community standards should be referred to the moderators for at least a temporary ban. It's a violation of the terms here, same as posting spam. | |
