Merry Christmas Bitcointalk!
I'm appealing once again. About a year ago, Dec 13 2020 I joined the forum. I was very active preban. I miss it, I miss being involved. My act of Plagiarism has cost me a lot and now I understand the consequences of my actions. I have learnt a great deal from this experience and will not think of repearing it. I hope you look into this case and reconsider.  I will love to be a part of this community again if you will have me. Thank you

You yourself are talking about plagiarism in your topic: Plagiarism: Where Do We Draw the Line? referring to the rules. It was a month and a half before your ban. You talk about newbies and their plagiarism and at the same time fall for plagiarism, as you claim, which was written at the time when you were a newbie.

That is, you talk about it by telling others, but you are not able to apply your statements to yourself. This is strange.

This is true. No argument there. The plagiarised posts were in my early days and are coming back to haunt me. The Plagiarism: Where Do We Draw the Line? was created in a quest to question the extent of plagiarism. It was at this point I was becoming more aware of the dangers of such actions. In an attempt to throw light on plagiarism it's ironic I didn't  to question myself. Its not so funny at this point that I lacked the insight to look at my ownself. That is my blind spot

Thank you all for your sympathy and understanding. I really appreciate it. A signature ban in my case would be mercy. I will accept such mercy if given. Being a member of the forum is more important to me

Good day everyone,
I joined the forum on Dec 13, I came to the forum from telegram. That's my background...pump and dump groups, mining scams e.t.c. I had been scammed on telegram and needed a safe place. That's why I came here. I enjoy the peace and sanity during my 9 months here. I learnt so much and have introduced bitcoin in my day life. I found this morning my account has been banned.

The post in question was created Jan 20 when I was newbie.  I read the article and was excited about the news. The intent was to not to claim the work, I only wanted to know why someone would do such a thing on the blockchain. I was a newbie at the time and therefore the motivation was not to complete signature post quota. But simply to gain knowledge. Most of my topics back then were made of questions. I admit I should have done more to cite the reference because the images didn't do justice to that.
I always believed in the justice of the moderators. That is the main reason why I have created this thread

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.

Why I think good for the forum as a whole ?
I won't claim to be a saint...far from it. I agree that I have made mistakes in the past but I try to be the best I can. Although I am not a well reputed member of this distinguished forum but my love for this community is undeniable. Coming from telegram groups( a safe haven for scammers), I took it as a mission to expose such scams here. So far I have exposed 10 scams. I'm asking for a second chance . I hope moderators @hilariousandco will consider my appeal.

Reasons Why I will miss the forum
I am grateful to be on the forum. I have learnt a lot here. I recently included Bitcoin payments in my stores. The forum members have been helpful giving their suggestions and ideas on how to improve my business. I promised to give feedback after two months.
