Any user who posts any virus/malware/spyware infected downloads should be punished pertaining to the severity of the virus-infected file or folder.
Users who do this should be punished based on the damage the virus/piece of malware does to one's system.
If the virus/malware/spyware causes permanent damage or destruction to one's system, with malice and knowing that the file posted will cause a significant amount of damage to the downloader's computer system, the person should be punished with a permanent suspension from the forum.
If the malware or virus file was posted unknowing to the user who posted the thread, and the virus contained in the download is not a severe piece of malware, meaning it would cause significant damage and is maybe a PUP, the person should be placed on a temporary suspension from posting.
If the user continues to post PUPs or any other malware, spyware, or adware, he should be punished with a permanent suspension from the forum.
