Recurring problem with copy pasting

I've recently asked the question about the situation when some guys copy solutions and code from other developer's answers. And the answer was to downvote and to call a moderator. I've tried to do both but it didn't work for me.

I see a lot of new developers who copy solutions and code, but usually, it helps when I just ask them nicely to not do that.

But now there are two guys in Laravel part of SO who copy from other answers and who aren't gonna stop:

  • The first one is a guy who even copied whole sentences. He changed nickname right after the last conversation about copying, I guess he wants to hide it or something. And he's definitely not going to stop: one, two, three, four. I've called a moderator a couple of times.

  • The second guy copied in the past. But today he copied my answer and I've decided to ask him not to do it. He said he didn't copy anything and that I need to relax. I've downvoted and called a moderator (as you guys did advice). The guy downvoted my answer too. But when the moderator came, he just deleted all the comments here.

    As result, some guys even upvoted his answer when they clearly see he copied it. And my original answer has 2 downvotes.

Honestly, I'm demotivated and upset because of all this stuff. That's just wrong. I mean it feels pretty bad when you're playing with code for 5-10 minutes and find a solution and then some guy just ctrv-c ctrl-v it. And I'd really want to see these guys are gone.

I wonder, why these accounts are not banned? I mean this is against the rules and people can clearly see who copy the answers all the time.

If these guys will not be banned, how this situation will be handled?
