I get the sentiment, but plagiarism is not only, already frowned upon, but in the United States, is actually illegal, especially when you're making money off it. In my mind because of that, they don't need "three warnings...".

People who plagiarize are lazy, ignorant and literally don't care. And I literally don't give a flying rats tail (hint: read stronger language here if you prefer) if anyone disagrees with me on that.

I've been a writer most of my whole life. I have zero respect. This is not a behavior that needs "discouraging."

It just needs to be punished. But I feel that way about a lot of laws that are broken. That's just me. Now if they aren't making money off it? Fine. Warn them.

I called out one joker the other day. Ironically enough, this same joker actually plagiarized a comment on @steemcourt post about plagiarism.

I shook my head and went onto the next article.
