You can use Vod's BPIP.org to check if an account has been banned (thanks Veleor).

See |LIST| Banned users for a list of 159k banned accounts. See which one suits you best, so we don't report them again.
I just stumbled upon a proven case of framing someone for plagiarism:
Users lhmrij and xca900174 deserve a permban. Update: banned.

Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.
If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.
Most plagiarism from copy/pasting spambots or shitposters deserves a permban. However, Admin can make exceptions if it's better for the forum if the user in question returns.If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.

The scammer can take the original text from the forum, post on his website changing the date and write a complaint, and also delete it by editing it. We need to study this problem.
After investigation, and with help from the rest of the mod team, I've determined that inbizin = bitkoinguru$$$. He created that blog post (registering the domain in June) and then made that post in Meta in order to frame you. The moderator who actually did the banning was not a Russian moderator, but was acting upon what seemed to be a clear case of plagiarism. The thought of this type of attack had occurred to me before, but this is the first time that it's actually been done successfully. I'll have to think about countermeasures.

Blackcoin's growth is actually quite modest compared to many other alts. I wouldn't read too much into this without context.
