Not sure what you mean by this (ie what's the specifics?)
Anything that makes it hard for new members is not good. It should be simple for new members, powerful for those who have been around longer.

Specifically include notification that their membership is about to expire. That they need to act in order to keep their account.
CP is cluttered with posts that are complete rubbish. But this garbage persists because, for various and sundry reasons, not the least of which is making comments in the answer textbox, the developer djin is prone to be quick, inexact because he expects no follow up, dismissive because he wants to climb the point ladder, and just being a bad jurist because it's time to post some code (not just a link) when legitimacy begins to unfold.
Another idea is to floor/ceiling the input amount on behalf of both parties.
In summation, a memory model more beholden to nature where membership and ability have some logical relationship other than the present shooting gallery idiom where some have guns and the rest are dogs without leashes.

You're hoping someone's behaviour regarding posts will be influenced by a threat to end membership.
As much as I would like to think membership of CodeProject is a valuable thing, it carries probably zero weight to those who can't be bothered to form a proper question.

His rubbish is gone, for now.
He still needs education, though.

Doesn't look familiar. I agree with the "just a warning" for now

Then its better to remove the link to member's profile.

One (or two if you count me) doesn't confirm he isn't a "come back" plagiarist: The comments with the link are there to prevent "automatic response" kicking.

I have given the 10th to many of them, the rest (like 10 or so) are on 9th
