theymos already set a rule for temp. Ban which I think is just since he gives any rank a chance to prove themselves to be an asset around the forum not just to consider someone base on their ranks or how long they have been around.
If OP thinks he only deserve a temporary ban he has a chance to prove he's a great contributor around the forum.
Well that is good news...then let him present his case and hear what Theymos says about it.
I think if you can prove to theymos you love the idea of crypto and will try your best to push this entire movement forward then he will spare your account or give you one more chance. Although don't make a long post because they are not glady received. Then again he is busy and has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. So not much spare time.
I would advise Greg..... to not try to excuse the actions (some were not plagiarism but some look like they may be financially motivated) but just say i am sorry, it was a mistake, i will gladly forget having sigs, I will become a great member here and redeem myself. Then never do it again.
