All plagiarism bans are human-checked.

There's *no fucking way* anyone that has spent here years and has 1000+ comments knows from memory every single post they made. Im sure most of these cases genuinely don't know what they are banned for.

You should know that you haven't plagiarized because you would never do such a thing.

If its not automated how come there was a massive 1000 ish ban at once? each case has a different context, doubt you had the time to check it out with such a short amount of time with so many bans.

Most auto banned users are brand new spammers.   

The second point: you are most likely incorrect.


No way. If you got banned with that generic message, you wouldn't know what happened because you have thousands of posts. Same for anyone that has 1000+ posts.

Can you at least confirm if there is an actual bot filling permabans? and who thought that was a good idea?


because you posted the wrong thing 7 years ago.
Did you mean that if someone plagiarise today or two months ago, they are deserved with perma bans, whilst someone whom did it years ago should be considered as innocent. Plagiarism comes from copy & paste. Which forces lead to copy & paste (lack of time, stealing other ideas, lazy to compose own posts, financial benefits by stealing other ideas)?
Another point is there are actually second chances for good users, even they plagiarised in the past. Admin, actually made perma-banned users second chances if they have good net-effects. If not, admin say no with any second chance.

All im saying is that it is nuts that a bot is filling permabans. Or in general permabanning (specially Hero+ members) with a generic message. This will only fill the meta section with people asking what happened because theymos never replies anyway.

Unless you started an expert, everyone's posting history was pretty lame at the beginning.
I didn't start out as an expert, and I'm still nowhere near an expert--but I did not begin my time on bitcointalk plagiarizing other people's words.  That's the reason why most of these members are being banned for offenses committed months to years ago, not spam.  Members rarely get banned for spam anyway.

If you are going to permaban someone, at least have the decency to quote exactly what triggered something as harsh as a permaban.
I've suggested that a number of times, but it's never been implemented.  There are problems with the suggestion as well.  For one thing, most banned members know exactly what they did and are playing dumb when they start an appeal thread.  They just want the mods or other members to jump through hoops looking for examples of plagiarism.  

Second, banned members are still going to create appeals threads in which they're going to make excuses, plead for mercy, and blah blah blah.  Even if they got a PM upon receiving a permaban that showed exactly what they did wrong, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference.

Let's face it:  most people here are just wasting bandwidth and burying good posts under a mountain of shit.  That's why the Bitcoin/Altcoin Discussion sections aren't worth reading--and those ought to be some of the best sections here.  

I'm grateful the mods are kicking some ass right now, because bitcointalk definitely needs a good house cleaning.

So you run some sort of bot that automatically bans accounts and you don't even double check manually that it makes sense? If something is automated to auto-ban, then it can be automated to include what it caused it to autoban within the ban message as well.

So write something then!   All the new developments is taking place in the new software.

It is a sad period for someone who have perma-bans due to only a single plagiarism in the past, but for users whom actually repeatedly plagiarised, I think that they won't have chance to complain and come back.

Now, with such a ridiculous perma ban period, please spend your time to code a bot to create Ban Appeals (with template of Ban Appeals). Lazy guys can use the template easily and only have to change ID or username to finish their Ban Appeals. The question OP should consider is using the Ban Appeal Template results in another plagiarism or not. Think of it before coding such a bot. Lazy guys whom perma-banned might support and use it.  Wink

Why would you work for free helping a forum that doesn't give a fuck about their users? We've had people waiting literally for years trying to recover their accounts which were hacked and now this. And it isn't like many of the people in charge here aren't rich and with the proper resources to get all of that fixed. But let me spend my (non nonexistent) free time fixing it myself while under the fear of losing your account permanently because you posted the wrong thing 7 years ago.

The future decisions of the Newly Elect President Trump are what will affect Bitcoin. I think Trump can understand what Bitcoin is and what it can do, or maybe he already knows about it. He can also apply his knowledge to improve Bitcoin. He didn't get rich without knowledge right? I guess we'll see if something happens.

I suppose only mods can see this? Where can we see what exactly was plagiarized when you get banned with the generic message? How can we make a proper appeal without details? Is it a bot filling the "autobans"?

Why aren't the ban messages including clear links pointing to what caused the ban as one would expect out of sanity? You are asking for people to appeal to some generic message.

Explained (quite recently) - too much extra work for the hundreds of automated accounts being banned...

So you run some sort of bot that automatically bans accounts and you don't even double check manually that it makes sense? If something is automated to auto-ban, then it can be automated to include what it caused it to autoban within the ban message as well.

What's too much work is spending years here, generating good content for the forum, making connections with people, then have your account banned because some bullshit automated bot ran by someone lazy enough to not quote reason of bans, then get sent into a weird ass looking email which theymos will never read, appealing something you don't know because there are no details. Unbeliable.

The current permaban situation is ridiculous

From what I can see, around 900+ members got banned accused of "plagiarism/spam", with a generic message and no source of what triggered the ban to make a proper appeal, appeal which will never even be addressed anyway.

Why aren't the ban messages including clear links pointing to what caused the ban as one would expect out of sanity? You are asking for people to appeal to some generic message.

On the log there's only "autoban" without any more details for most people.

Many valuable members got banned for life and we cannot contact them again as we only talked across PM. Banned for life for what's most likely some bullshit reason done years ago which does not justify a permaban weighting in the contributions for the forum. Unless you started an expert, everyone's posting history was pretty lame at the beginning. Someone in power that wants to harm you will find something across 1000's of posts to ban you. Since they don't need to give details they can freely banhammerize anyone they please, ruining your account for life and everything that it means for the people that spent ages here.

If you are going to permaban someone, at least have the decency to quote exactly what triggered something as harsh as a permaban.

This is most likely a tool for someone in charge to get rid of people they don't like anyway.

I bought $3M worth of bitcoin recently and I am waiting for the next bull run.

Whoopee-doo. A measly 166 BTC is nothing. M.P. alone has 500,000+ BTC.

Prove it. Sign a message from your UTXO. And prove you are hodling in SegWit addresses that start with a 3 instead of a 1. Anyone can claim they did that. Means nothing without proof.


where does this number come from, exactly?


Exactly as Rothschild designed his Bitcoin to be.


where did you get this idea from?

speaking of rothchilds and MP... MP obviously super smart and very wealthy, in BTC (although, people keep throwing random numbers about how much BTC does he has).

entire BTC marketcap is $113 billion, this is chump change for the real puppet masters like rothchilds

we still look at $$$ to measure BTC price, so please, don't be deluded to think $$$ doesn't matter and only BTC matters. as long as we look at $$$ to measure BTC, $$$ matters; for how long? we'll see!

conclusion: rothchilds could become the major BTC player if they wanted as long as $$$ matter, they just see it as an anecdote for now, too small to even register on their radar. They may own some, but very small exposure, given current small price. If these moguls entered the market, price would skyrocket, which would make BTC owners super rich, BTC elite would become the richest on earth, this leads me to believe, they would first guarantee that this doesn't happen somehow, they have endless resources for it. They will not sit back and see how a new elite surpasses their dynasty that lasts for centuries. they will go OTC markets, they will try to steal BTC from big players, please stay safe if you own BTC.


the other top known 3 trillonaire giants may fight for this window of opportunity to be the kings of BTC

rothchilds have the most exquisite mindblowing collection of fine arts, properties, other. these will be desirable after $$$ crash and worth 1-5++ million BTC


my theory, please discuss in this interesting topic

All of my 3 Sr Member accounts had gmx emails and all of the 3 emails didn't work. Password incorrect. Probably all expired. Don't use gmx accounts, use gmail or protonmail because they don't expire.

I told all my friends with accounts here to change their gmx account. Caution with this, a lot of people use gmx, even satoshi did (and his account got hacked too)

I can confirm.

I have 3 Sr Member accounts in this forum. I tried to access the gmx accounts, and all of them didn't work. All expired I guess.

Changed all of them to protonmail. Gmail also good because it doesnt allow login from different IP address than yours.
