It's that time of the year again... and it's at least as good a time as any to reflect on both the good, and the bad; to think about how we can do better in the future; and also to...
forgive. Regarding that last one, we've decided that for a limited time, we will be
considering unbanning users previously banned for plagiarism.
This is
not a blanket amnesty. We take plagiarism very seriously. Not just any banned account will be unbanned, not all sanctions will be lifted, and we'll be watching the unbanned users like hawks.
Here are the requirements:- You must have been banned already for an extended period of time, at least 6 months.
- You must point to at least 1 really good, constructive post you've made.
- A ban on wearing a signature will be added, equal to at least 2 years minus however long you were banned.
How to apply:If you already registered an account to post in Meta for a ban appeal then simply reply to this thread.
If you didn't register another account send an email to this address:
amnesty_2023_7ecwa@bitcointalk.orgExample info to include:
Username:
Constructive post:
We will post all of the unbanned users in this thread. Hopefully in the future we'll look back on this as proof of the value of forgiveness and second chances. (Otherwise, maybe we'll look back on this as a reason not to do it again in the future.)
Enjoy the Holidays and Happy 2024 everyone!
this is a very good initiative and I'm grateful some people whose account where banned could get their account back and learn from their mistake.
Although I know that it would be difficult for some persons to get access to this information since they might have left the forum for a while now.
I still wish then the best of luck.
