Exactly! For a bit!

Yet this is not for a bit! This is a lifetime disqualification, and that's been my entire grip the whole time! Is nobody reading this?

"The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue."

That doesn't sound like a lifetime ban to me.

What? Then how long are they disqualifying them from submitting prior to acceptance, if not lifetime? It certainly doesn't say 1 year or something.

Well, "lifetime ban" means "you are not allowed back in". Their ban specifically allows you back in (after a specified period) subject to fulfilling a single constraint.

It's conditional acceptance back in, which is not the same as a lifetime ban which is unconditional.

Mhm. Okay, honestly, I maybe don't have enough data to judge how much impact that requirement has.

I also haven't seen anything on how this works with multiple authors, which could go anywhere from draconian to weakening the entire thing.
