I mean, if i don't get my account, it is fine. I will be a bit gutted, this is life, i will move on.
But i feel it could do with a second chance, don't you guys believe in second chance in live ?

Look at my trust setting / feedback : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=207818

Looking forward to see the outcome.
Cheers

Second chances can be given and you can argue that the punishment is harsh, but at the moment the rules are pretty clear that if you're caught plagiarising then it's a permaban. Once we start making exceptions for people it just opens up a huge can of worms and then everyone else who's had a ban will come out of the woodwork and complain it's not fair to them and people who are banned in the future will use this case as an example why they should be given another chance.

PM theymos or cyrus and make your case to them and maybe they will remove it. I'm not against second chances but there needs to be some consistency so it's fair to all. Hopefully signature bans could be issued in cases like this instead and people can keep their accounts, but at the moment I just wish people would stop plagiarising content so these bans aren't even needed in the first place and it's truly a sad state of affairs that they are.
