https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5050922.0DT1/DT2Reputable members of the Russian and English community Also you can find a lot of good reviews in this thread from users with lower ranks.This topic has received many merits - 22 only to the author of the topic, including merits from Xal0lex (Moderator, Hero Member, DT 2) and MaoChao (DT 1)I am writing a theymos quote again
There's been no policy change. redsn0w wasn't permanently banned due to several factors which made me think that permabanning him would be a net negative for the forum. Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.
I have a single question.
Why dear administration so applies to useful users?Theymos,I hope you read this and make the right decision.
P.S. This is my first table. Forgiveness for any errors.
Thank you all for your attention!
