I do think this is a case of a mistake by a respected member who hadn't read the rules.

But when one of these "pajeet" posters as you like to call them does the same you're not defending them saying they just probably haven't read the rules.

Bitcointalk.org is a BIG part of my life. It's an escape from reality, it's a place where I've made good friends, and it's something that quite frankly makes me happy. At the time of those posts, I was on my cell phone at the hospital taking care of my mother. At the time I did have posts to make for the sig campaign. Quite frankly the only reason I made the posts while at the hospital fearing my mother was going to die was to get my mind off of it. I mindlessly made a few posts and I regret it more than anything. I've been going through so much lately with my family...one thing that really helps, that I love, is bitcoin and this website.

I messed up during a time in my life where I thought I'd no longer have either parent. My brother is mentally ill and my mom awaits a new liver as she fights an uphill battle. I go to bed and wake up every single day wondering if all I'll have left is a sister.

I would have had more respect for you if you just apologised without the sob story. This is the same old crap everyone else uses when they get banned. You're literally trying to say that you only copy and pasted because your mother was ill. I'm not sure why copy and pasting would take your mind off things as opposed to actually using your mind to come up with a post yourself. You got caught cheating on a signature campaign and likely only did this to hit your quote, and if it was any other shitposter trying these excuses they would be laughed off the forum.

To err is human....to forgive divine.

Please give him another chance.

I think that everyone, regardless of their stance on this particular issue, can agree with the above.

It seems they can when their "friend" gets caught doing something but they've never made these arguments before for the hundreds of other posters who get caught doing the same. This is a bigger issue than just ChiBitCTy. Do we forgive the thousands of others who have been caught doing the same? Or maybe only when they have a few friends here, haven't read the rules or have an unbelievably pitiful sob story? If we're going to unban people under certain circumstances we may as well stop banning people for copy and pastes and just let the community leave them appropriate feedback instead.
