Yes I agree with you that bill gator has contributed into this forum but aside from him who is reputable in this forum already. For example, a normal user like me who isn't contributing to the forum Cheesy

. I know that they will not get their account back so getting honest and putting some efforts to get your account back is considered useless if you plagiarized.

theymos' statement on the matter would seem to back up what you're saying. Plagiarism is a very slippery slope to climb back from. That being said, I'm not some kind of "special user", although it flatters me that so many people believe that to be the case. I'm just a regular guy, that spends way too much time on a website. I've never run a highly-successful bitcoin business, or made any innovations. I just speak my opinion, learn as much as I can, participate in the forum-economy and offer a helping hand where I am able to. I consider myself a "normal" user, I've just allowed this forum/community to shape my life and inform my principles more than the average bear.

Usually we won't even consider this excuse ... But especially for very veteran members, we do occasionally look into these claims and reconsider the matter based on them. This isn't the first case like this: there are a surprising number of notable members who originally bought their accounts.

it wasn't him personally who did the plagiarism. ... Therefore, the ban is removed.

though it is largely bill gator's fault, I just find it on the whole too unfair to treat him as though he did something when I'm looking at evidence showing that he didn't.
