in reply to How should Perlmonks deal with Plagiarism?

The Bible talks about convicted thieves paying back multiples of what they stole. They were also expected to stop stealing.

Why not punish theft nodes by downing the posters XP a multiple of any gained votes on stolen nodes? This should come after proper warnings and possibly using some form of jury. Thus the punishment will outway possible gains.
