What abot this one "the honeymoon" guy he kinda got the support of suchmoon :

Is this cryptohunter?

Most likely.

Two cases that would probably be deserving of unbans/signature bans are ChiBitCTy & Roboabhishek.

If we're doing this we should probably add the honeymoon guy:

The excuse is about as credible at those other two and nobody found any other signs of copypasta yet.

I disagree with unbanning Roboabhishek BTW (having someone create posts for your sig campaign should be ban-worthy in its own right) but I'll admit that other reasonable users vouching for him is a fairly good argument that it's an uncharacteristic lapse in judgement and the person might be capable of learning from it. Let's just please not make this excuse a valid one going forward.



With even the user suggestion some kind of alternative punishment :

~
I will not take part of bounty/signature campain ever (please someone quote this message).
And i will keep in my signature that i got ban for plagiarism (please quote me again!).

In my thread I welcomed the idea of getting  a permanent ban of signature. If my permapeal was successful.
I don’t mind if it make my account “worthless” without a signature. I don’t intend to sell it.

As most of my posts are in French. I did agree to pay for someone fluent in FR and EN to review my posts and check if I am a spammer and or a shit poster. I agreed to pay this person, or to pay a fine or to give to a charity.

But un-banning accounts is like opening pandora's box

People are already referring to the LoneShark situation each time they are not happy with their ban.
