This is really a very long punishment for such offense.
I request mods to please give me a chance.
I am ready for a signature ban but please accept my appeal which is not answered since years. _/\_
Are you in a position to explain what makes the account worthy of a reprieve? What are the contributions the account has made to the forum that are such significance that leniency should be shown? Furthermore, apart from a possible monetary factor what exactly is important about the account that made you want to appeal the ban after all these years?
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.
If this was a referendum or some such thing, I'd vote for not lifting the ban....but it's not, and enforcement of bans after multiple years might have gotten more lax since 2019.
I do agree with you.
But do you think I will ever do the same mistake again?
Won't I deserve a chance? (After 5 actual years)
The Sceptical Chymist is right, I agree if there was a referendum I would vote to not lift the ban. Five years would have given you enough time to build up several more accounts to enroll in campaigns. How accounts are you operating now?
