This has been discussed many times in this thread. And this can not be considered plagiarism.
I believe that is the mistake theymos was talking about:
I know of one case where someone was banned for plagiarism in the recent massacre, but a very careful reading of the context showed that the person actually did just forget to quote, and by "quoting" the post they were expressing an actual point even if it constituted their entire post. This person was unbanned without any sigban, since this isn't plagiarism.
Meh, tvplus just was answering a noob's question and parroted what the OP had answered to another user. I think the intent was to be helpful rather than upping their post count for financial gain.
It is very clear that OP was just tried to help someone else. That's the reason why I am much curious to know why OP got banned. If only reason that mentioned by suchmoon then OP likely deserve unban without conditions according to admin.
