Wouldn't the sensible solution be to NOT COPY AND PASTE? I've said it a million times, these cheaters do not deserve another chance. They know they are doing wrong when they do it. I'm sure they have been educated about some rules of the forum prior to opening accounts here to earn for their campaigns. They also have access to the meta area where hundreds of posts weekly are able to be seen and read that deal with accounts being banned due to copy/paste.
Do you have an army of banned accounts or something? You seem awfully interested in bringing banned accounts back. I'm trying to stay objective to your opinions but this idea seems a bit nuts to me.
Let's see what everyone else thinks though. Maybe I'm off on an island alone here
What is this nonsense??
I said reply if you have a better idea than the current system.
If you do not want to change how it is now then don't reply here I am asking for ideas to improve the situation.
Yeah I have an army of accounts I want to buy back for 0.5 BTC with no sigs allowed for a year. Can you refrain from asking me stupid questions unless you have some evidence I have any alts. What if I asked you do you take back handers for letting people on the sig campaigns you manage? because I have been told you do? Now be positive make alternative good suggestions or just go to your own thread.
If you have no alternatives and dont want change from how it is dont post.
The same goes for Thepharmacist - Who I consider here to be contradicting some of his previous comments on copy and paste threads by saying they are all akin to bags of shit that are on fire. I mean why would you feel sympathy for a burning back of shit and recognise they made some good posts? .
Now both do not post again unless
1 you have a good alternative or want to discuss this one
If you have no interest in change at all from insta perm ban for all that is fine but no need to post here.
I do not believe my answer/reply was nonsense at all. It is exactly what needs to be done. Users don't need coddled. They know exactly what they are doing.
I'm not trying to be difficult for you, I'm voicing my opinion like you have done over 12000 times since becoming a member here.
Why do you want to save these people is the better question? Bitcointalk as a forum is losing nothing by losing these offenders. If anything the few hundred that are banned are serving as the lesson for those considering copy/paste activities.
Okay cool sorry.
Well to be honest I have seen a couple that seems I think deserved a fair chance at another go. They seemed to be mistakes from a while back many years and some of their recent posts were actually very good. I think some people start off here a bit shaky and improve.
I am not just interested in helping copy and pasters at all. I have been called to many posts to help anyone that wants some help.
I just think in this net we are casting it will take down some good eggs and some net positive individuals with it. This is more of a carrot and stick approach to guide people into being net positive rather than a head shot to anyone that steps off the path even for a moment.
@Steamtyme
I wasn't trying to stifle any free speech. They can say anything they want on topic or anything else off topic.
I don't see a point though of turning this thread into pages of people who just say " all plagiarist get insta perm ban" because it makes the conversation for others trying to think up another system much harder.
I read your post and it was a good one. I agree perhaps the rates can be reduced slightly.
Can you point me to the ones that got banned you would give another chance to? I didn't think I missed any hero or legends out because originally I was thinking of a max 1.1000 ratio .... but the reviews and closer scrutiny especially for those with 1000's of posts is a lot to review. This system is quick and fast and could introduce tomorrow.
Let's face it purely financially reward spammers will not appeal so saves time listening to them if they are bad eggs.
