delete on sight, because it is a habit that needs to be punished - or people will continue to do it.

by having zero tolerance users may get it into their heads that plagiarism is a type of theft and like all theft is unacceptable, in any other place (school, work etc) plagiarism gets you instantly dismissed or punished.. internet should be no different.

students who plagiarise their studies get their credit removed, workers who plagiarise others to get ahead can face discipline or even get fired.. in extreme cases people can even go to jail or be sued for plagiarism.

it is a crime, whether or not the internet as a whole agrees - it also contributes to a lazy, uncaring style of editting - "copy paste" is not how you do anything in life.
