In this my own case, the reason for the ban remains unclear.
Even though it probably didn't cause your ban (as you usually shared the reference link at the bottom of your copypasta), one thing I don't understand: why you ignored all the warning that what you are doing is not the proper way deal with verbatim copy?
I (and few others) warned you almost two months ago about that, yet you continued doing the same. For some reason mods decided not to act on my report, and that post is still there. Who knows, if you got more of your topics reported maybe you would realize that what you are doing is wrong.
@Nathrixxx Not a single word in your post has been written by you, as you just copy/pasted everything from that article without properly formatting the text and without adding anything of your own. Classic low value merit fishing shitpost that has been reported to the mods.
Having links in my post is what i do and i don't think its against the rule while i ensure quoting where necessary but i think what i try to avoid is excessive quoting where by i think if the link is there it will serve a reference point for further read ups, if you check my profile you'll discover not every of my post is an article post, i also made posts from my thinking. The quoting style you advise only suggest the post could be more appropriated in standard than not, and NOT that i "plagiarized".
I also stated on the appeal on occasions whereby some of the high ranked members do put me through on how to post with an accurate standard and I've been improving on ever since. I believe learning is a process and you cant expect the tempo of high rank member compared with the low rank members, experience is a perfect teacher.
