inability of editing my post, therefore i have to make a new one, and this is not a defense.

i admit that the English is kind of unskillful, yet i did not even use the translator (the pattern i use would not even convert into a valid sentence in my native language as an example). before you would state me 'the content cannot be generally understood would be considered spam', there are following measures to consider or spot:

their intention of reading. nowadays people in the internet are really lacking the intention to read posts' content considered 'not generally understood' then tag the relevant posts as unsubstantial immediately once they are fed up of, instead of providing alternate means give a hand to the posters. i understand that providing them are not their business, but this is why they would not learn from the further repliers specifically.

i have certain examples of giving correction to the contents from newbie or junior member, using the quotation, you can find it from my last posts. despite of only appeared in off-topic section, i really have my purpose to give a hand to them.


posters' intention of posting spams. typical spammer would either post the content totally irrelevant to the topic such as advertisement, ignore the rule of the site, resume doing the same act immediately (or after a short period like within a few months) once they have their ban ended. sometimes spammers are acting in purpose which is more profitable than typical signature campaign, which is called farming as you know.

the potential harm of the forum. the spam could be really destructive or even encourage random people to conduct spams, should be prevented. for the minor, should have tried to put them back the right track such as educating them about grammar, unless they are alts (to farm accounts) or they are ignoring the means to have them improved.
for that matter, i believe warning the minor offenders by banning at first, is subject to damage of reputation regarding 'how moderators will treat the new users in case of mistakes as they could not change easily' instead of 'how the/that forum will improve their experience about something related upon discussion or communication'.

indeed always posting the replies with just two lines or even one will be considered spam, cannot be defended at all, and the longer sentences does not all the way mean it will become more constructive. logically with two of these measures, people should either say as much as they want within the guidelines, or simplify it if more explanation invalidates the constructive standard.

keep in mind that i am not eliminating my guilty this time, nor am i wanting to legalise the unsubstantial posts here, i just wish the bitcoin forum would be more considerate when taking certain actions dealing with this and similar cases.

last but not the least, if my ban is still staying, then i should not be the only one to be banned, right?
