We'll see what the mods have to say, but plagiarism is still a serious offense in 2024. In fact I'd say it should be even more serious since nowadays people are using AI to make posts and it's harder than ever to tell if something somebody's writing is genuine or not.

In 2024, many accounts were not banned by a single or more seriously some plagiarized posts and AI-generated posts. It's less strict rule consideration and ban on accounts with plagiarism, AI-made posts so it's kind of fair to give Great Orchid a second chance. There are many complains on accounts with shit posts, plagiarism committed many times but are not banned.

But this account has more than plagiarism and it reduces odds to have a second chance.

He got banned due to plagiarism.

But, the second chance doesn't ask you which type violations you committed, there are 3 requirements to fill, the @OP fill the first and third requirement, but he didn't qualify for one good post on the forum. If you check his post history, you will find that he's an altcoins miners and then he switch to be a shitposter and creates generic posts.

It's not only plagiarism but also more than that, buying an account. The second violation is against another forum rule and it is discouraged by community too.

Reason of the ban is plagiarism but by breaking another rule, there is almost no second chance for secondary owner of this account.
