Nope, the rules apply to everyone. Copy and pasting is absolutely not tolerated here. There is never a case where you will accidentally plagiarise. We've previously talked about plagarism spam vs incorrectly cited passages, so I hope we don't need to further discuss what if scenarios. Whether you are a legendary account or not, you shouldn't have any impunity to the rules. If you are here to gain a few bucks promoting some spam campaign, as long as you don't spam, its fine. The second you start spamming, you are detracting from other's forum experience to earn those few bucks, and need to be politely told to leave. A few years ago, the only copy and paste spam reports that I recall seeing were just bots advertising ED medicine or something. People just copy and pasting other people's posts is a relatively new thing. Its started because of signature advertising, its unbelievably lazy, and there can't be any tolerance for it.

The people who have been here for years and have done a lot of great work aren't here for the signature ads that incentive's spamming. Even if they are, they know better than to spam, and can get their post counts up by continuing to be helpful and do the same great work they've been doing all along. Copy and pasting posts is just lazy. If you want an excuse to get your post count up, go help some newbies, don't try to artificially inflate your post count with spam.

Look at that, this upped my post count by 1, but I'm reasonably confident it wont be reported as spam.

Thanks SaltySpitoon for your reflection. Since I have already admitted my faults, and that I hadn't read this meta section before today (I suppose this can't be my fault if I read other sections and not this one), and that I was not aware of this direct permaban for plagiarism (again my fault - the mother of all my faults!), my humble request is to receive a penalty that is not permanent.

I already know that people in this meta section is here mainly to gain merits (another thing I didn't know before this fact) so most people here will say that I can just leave forever, since they are perfect while I'm the sinner.

My request is to Theymos, which people tells me is the only one that can remove permabans, in order to be judged not only for my 1 or 2 or 3 or whatever sins, but also for my contributions made over the years.

In other words, instead of death penalty, I humbly request any other kind of clemency.

Thanks ALL for discussing my case and for underlining my full or partial mistakes.

Once again, I would ask to reconsider my account not only for mistakes, but also if I made something good for the forum and community over the years. If I will be here in future, for sure I learned the lesson.

As somebody suggested, only Theymos could revoke my ban, so could somebody please ask him to give his final opinion so I don't bother anymore?

Thanks

I suspect it was lost in the language barrier that I was trying to help you?? I am the only person here that feels legends generally should be allowed a couple of small mistakes over the years.

Appreciated your help, thanks! My mistakes are there, even if there should be a lot to say for each quoted case, I can't delete them.

My point is, what would happen if each single user is "scanned" like me today? How many would survive?

Since I read mainly the altcoin sections, I would say that 90% of posters there should be banned, if the rules would be strictly applied. But I don't think this is the way of handling a community, banning everybody.

Some people commenting this thread have rather new accounts, and since the very first post, they completely respect the rules and make no mistakes. They born with all this "how-to" knowledge, or they just opened another account and they are here to gain merit as you stated, which is once again against the rules?

In almost 5 years, I posted over 1600 posts. Is it correct to ban me because I made some mistakes? My overall reputation and positive feedbacks are nothing? Did somebody complain about me or my posts, except the one that I clearly copied? Zero tolerance for everybody, or only for me?

I think this forum has the privilege to lead a movement. It should include more and more people, not only kick them out.

Payment received, many thanks.

I never visited this meta forum section before today, but quickly learned that this is the place to gain merits:

what are you even doing on meta? i know this is the easiest place to gain merits

I leave you the nice job to catch all people that makes mistakes. The forum at the end will be a very quiet place, as almost nobody will survive.

Ciao

As above, plagiarism. This was the post that was reported:

this looks like something like a DPoS chain where, delegates are Provisioners but in this case Blocks generation isn't a delegate's task but there other light nodes doing that. I've yet to understand why is more efficent then a DPoS system

I think I saw something similar in Multiversum blockchain project: it looks like something like a DPoS chain where, delegates are Provisioners but in this case Blocks generation isn't a delegate's task but there other light nodes doing that, but I've yet to understand it correctly...

Ok, this sounds a very stupid thing I made, you are right. Don't even remember why I made it so, two months ago; it's not my normal way of contributing.

My last suggestions:
- users should be informed of their mistakes, so they don't repeat it (same as for deleted posts/threads, there should be a warning or an explanation)
- maybe reputation should consider these mistakes as opposite to merits, nobody is perfect but there should be an overall
- I appreciate your way of trying to keep the place clean, but direct ban to people that contributed most times in a proper way, and for years, to me it sounds a bit too much

Again, I made (at least) one mistake. As by rules (frankly I didn't read about this plagiarism strict rule before today, but it's my fault...) I'm out. If there's no mercy, this is my farewell to this community.

Ciao

Theymos please review Legendary account perma banned

yeswepump_banned

on 22/11/2018, 08:37:09 UTC

I've created this account to see if my situation can get sorted out.

After over 4.5 years activity on the forum, my Legendary account has been banned.

My username is yeswepump and my profile is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=500098

Since there's no explanation on why account was banned, at https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php I can only see:

Quote

Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #500098

I did a search and I could find only this post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4720640.msg47529080#msg47529080 where I was added to a list of spammers?

In fact, on Nov 3rd, two of my messages were deleted. I posted in two threads a link to an airdrop (yes, it was required by the airdrop itself) but there was no reflink. See the deletion message I received:

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

Frankly I don't think this was spam, as the thread was https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1424389.0 which is indeed dedicated to airdrop links.

The other post also deleted, was the same message translated in English, posted on another Airdrop English thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2726305.msg47513890#msg47513890

So, even if I'm not so fully convinced that I posted against the forum rules, my posts were deleted and I really don't care about that!! It's more than fine, I should forget about airdrops!

But was that the reason to perma ban my account?

I really hope that I can keep my love for this forum, and that I'm not forced to go away forever, as it seems the rules are clear in this case.
