What you did is not related to a forum rank. You as a person make a decision to do something. You can't say well i was newbie so forgive me. If you would kill someone, would you say to a judge yeah but then i was a minor so don't send me to jail.....
That's a point everyone is bringing down. Do you really think mods have a watchlist of people they bann till they reach rank x? People are getting banned the moment they are spotted. If you weren't spotted when you were a newbie you are lucky. But if you're a member and get spotted well that's your problem.
For someone with a love for bitcoin instead of bounties, your overall post quality is well.... bad. Contains full of 1 sentences replies. So i get now why you were copy pasting. It's a fact so don't get offended by it.
