I don't find it in the spirit of this board to ridicule people banned if they are not consistent of clearly financially motivated copy and pasters. I feel only pitty when I see some of the others begging and grovelling for probably their only means of making some bucks. I certainly don't feel I want to start ridiculing them. The worst offenders will not appeal here they know there is no chance. Tell marboroza and loyce to hurry up it feels wrong with out them here.

Sincerely, I was trying to understand the expected humour in all of this ridicule until I read this post. I agree with you totally. Ridiculing someone because they are plagiarists won't make any impact. Banning them for plagiarism will do. Most plagiarists don't even know how or what it takes to write a post of their own. So, they may not even get the sense of ridicule people are trying to subject them to here. Simple, ban them. Don't laugh at them.

Well... This project isn't something that is done instead of banning a plagiariser... This project comes into play after a plariariser was banned, once he creates a new account and starts posting in meta with all kinds of dumb excuses as to why he should be unbanned.
In these cases, a ban does not suffice, because they created a new account and started a new thread with this new account.

I agree that if somebody is banned for plagiarism, this is enough... Even when they create a new account and creates a thread in meta asking why they are banned, they should not be ridiculed AS LONG as they accept the reason why they were banned and move on. It's only when they start acting out, not accepting their ban even if the rules are clearly quoted and evidence is dug up to confront them with their offence that this tool should come into play. It should make it obvious for them that all excuses to get unbanned have been given before, and they should just accept the fact that they broke one of the few actual hard rules and now they are no longer welcome...

Anyways, you're free to have your opinion about banning people, signature campaigns, this tool,... and you're free to express these opinions. This tool isn't an official bitcointalk tool tough, so if you don't like it: ignore it...
If you don't like me: ignore me
If you don't like people that use this tool: ignore them
The "ignore" button is right there, under our names... You don't even have to visit our profiles Wink
