I'll just leave this here.
Said it in May.
Said it again the other day.
There needs to be a limit, not sure what it is, but it needs to be there.
There was a similar thread about this back in May:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142827.0I had a few comments in it and walked away, but I do think the following is still important and should be discussed.
The broad overview is someone I know got a permaban for plagiarism. Problem is, it was his own work he copied / pasted.
If he comes forward, even in private the mods who read it will know who he is IRL. He does not want that.
When I discussed it with him, he was not even happy *I* knew who he was here / that he was posting here.
So I let it go.
But the following is still important:
The other issue would be that since he has almost no merit and a lower post count it's going to be tough to make a good defense.
Yes, it's a very rare 1 off case, but it's still there. And if I know 1 person who had it happen, I will bet you just about any amount there is at least one more.
Possibly they have had an issue with another forum member and this was a push they needed to leave.
Does their SO think they spend too much time on here and it's an internal excuse to leave?
Did they cash out 18 months ago when BTC was at $20k and just don't care as much?
Could they appeal? yes.
Do they want to? possibly.
Will they because of external factors? perhaps not, or at least not now.
As I said, spamming & plagiarizing now. You're out of here. Once it's over 1500 days old and has not been done since? Temp ban with stern warning or something.
