Topic: Ban Appeal For DiMarxist - page 2. (Read 971 times)

Good point. It turns out that they resort to religion only after they themselves have violated its laws, and they have to remember all their sins. Why get on your knees at the moment when you deliberately deceived both your God and the whole community?
OP, first think about what you are doing. If you are a religious person, then you need to pray for forgiveness somewhere else, not on the forum.

I wonder why when users here asks for forgiveness because of what they've done, they always involve some religious terms like "Muslim, Almighty God, Jesus Christ" etc. etc.
Do they think that when they use it, they will be given a second chance? I mean I'm just curious because I've seen some users here who got banned, and then when they are asking for second chance, they're using words like this.

To the OP, you made a mistake, and that mistake is enough for you to get permabanned just like what theymos, and hilariousandco said. Better move on, and move forward. You might made some good contributions here... but it is what it is.

This is why I'm not browsing in the forum whenever I'm drunk, or not feeling well. I might do something like this. 

You did not understand the post you quoted.

You only deserve a chance if you can prove that you contributed good things for the forum. Saying sorry, promising to not repeat your plagiarism, binding your appeal with religions are not contributions for the forum.

Show the admin and community about your contributions, how you received your merit, if they see you have good contributions, you will have a bigger chance.

But you must know you did plagiarized many times and did it for money incentives. You are not innocent with your plagiarism. Even you have good contributions, your chance is not too big compare with people just plagiarized one or two times because they did not know the rule.

Have mercy everyone. Please it will never happen and repeat itself again. Please I am on my knees. I use the Almighty God (Jesus Christ) to beg everyone. My fellow Christ and Muslim, and other Religions Brothers and Sisters please! Please!! Please!!! have mercy and forgive me as the Holy Bible and Qur'an also forgive Sins. It will never happen again. 🙏🙏🙏

Just want you to understand op, that no crime in forum supercedes each other, since your has been caught cheating and disrespecting the institution of bitcointalk I think it will face the challenges others that committed same thing are facing, i heard other users who is soliciting for the account to be restor, yeah, it's nice to support someone account to be unban because you are exercising your sympathy with the user, but we have to remember that granting op favor of unbanning his account because of this single act, it need to be done generally by unbanning people who committed same crime for some years back to avoid injustice.

Looks like campaign managers are paying members for sleeping, having sex with girlfriend, boyfriend or let's be gentle with spouse.

Did you bring it to have an argument? An intellectual argument or you are out of idea?

I don't see you have anything to defend against your ban but you are surely making everyone happy, giving us some elements to entertain. Good job.

The highlighted parts are simply other stolen words from two other posts in that same topic.  Not a single part of their "reply" contains a unique thought of their own.  That can't possibly be an accident.  To claim that it was just means they're a liar as much as they are a plagiarist:

If he was plagiarizing my reply only than I would forgive him for the act because I understand that few people aren't good at writing and that's why they try to rewrite someone else's words in a way that others might find their posts or replies unique. But, if such users are enrolled in signature campaigns and are earning money from those campaigns then I think the best way to stop those users from doing such thing is to ban them from signature campaigns for at least a month as a penalty for the act like The Sceptical Chymist suggested.

I'm not against OP and whatever he did to my reply wasn't a good act. However, I personally have already forgiven him for doing that act, and I just want to tell him to stop doing such things and not to take advantage of the campaign managers who trust you by giving you a chance to earn some money legitimately  by creating good posts and informative replies. It's like playing with their trust and that's not a good act at all.

At first I thought that the OP has mistakenly copied my post and I thought he deserves a chance because sometimes we all feel states of dizziness due to less sleep and hard work. But, after I found that the user did that with others then I thought that how could someone do that. I mean it's really beyond my understanding that how someone could do that to a honest campaign manager who's allowing the user to earn from his/her hard work. That's not at all acceptable to me, I believe that those who give you the opportunity to earn an income legitimately are the ones who are worthy of respect and sincerity. Betraying such people is a worst kind of crime and it's not at all accepted.

I feel for OP, because he was here wasting all his time in the forum instead of studying and creating his own post. He thought,all this while that he haven't been caught as smartness, forgetting that someday he will be caught and brought to justice.

I feel surprise to see someone with such amount merits and rank,still lazy of creating post on their own after they already know the implications of plagiarism and they have also started benefiting from signature campaigns. This shows that OP is a careless person and not serious with his life. So many plagiarism is not a mistake but a habit. OP needs to face the consequences of his action so that next time he will do as expected.

What I wanted to say is that imho signature ban makes sense if offender did one time mistake (which I believe can happen out of ignorance or some other reason), but if plagiarising posts is something that he does on the regular basis (like it was case here) then there's no point of giving him signature ban because we are not talking about genuine member here who did one time mistake but instead about someone who is only interested in making money out of forum.

Anyway, I hope I explained myself better.


Because there were cases (not gonna name them here but I think people know who I am talking about) in the past where legit members did some stupid mistake while they were new members (their plagiarism was discovered years later) and instead of giving them perma ban, they got signature ban, continued being active during duration of signature ban showing that they are legit members who are not here solely for signature payout and are now one of the more respected members and scambusters around.
 

Tbh, I haven't noticed anyone getting signature ban in the last couple of years.

Heh?  I'm saying that arguing for any kind of signature ban, even if it's temporary (and I doubt it'd be that short) would drive the member to create a new account to start earning money with--and you acknowledged that the latter half of that statement is true.  So why dole out any signature ban? 

Anyway, please forgive me if there's a misunderstanding--it's quite possible, as I was up >24 hours when I wrote that post and have yet to go to sleep.  My mind is foggy and everything is running on autopilot.  It's amazing that I can even type out legible sentences.

By the way, I haven't been looking at too many ban appeal threads lately and don't have a sense of what the mods are doing in the way of punishment for plagiarism.  Are they actually handing out signature bans?  Has anyone received one?

When I initially read the OP post, I felt sorry for him but now that I realize exactly what he did in that post, and the same pattern is being repeated in this example, shows that OP was trying to cheat the system but eventually got caught. Such people deserve this punishment. I now wonder if he has some alts too 


Why not, someday a person will come up and say I was in a coma (Near death prolonged unconsciousness), but still busy completing the Signature quota

Even when dizzy, you must earn those signature payments, right?

I don't. OP was on my Ignore list for shitposting already. He won't be missed. His entire post history matches this:

To follow this with a lesson:

He taught me about plagiarism when I did not plagiarise and saw what he did.

He will continue to say I don't know that forum has rule for plagiarism but in January he knew it.

So he actually knew what he was doing and even pointed out the post that he was sure could have led to his ban. What is worse is trying to lie that it was a one-off mistake. This is clearly not a mistake and there could be more posts he copied and paraphrased

Perhaps a lesson learned for OP, though a little too late now, since it's a permanent ban.

Of course they don't since you omitted first part of the sentence where I thought that was his only case of plagiarism in which case I wouldn't personally give anyone permanent but instead signature ban but then it was discovered that it wasn't the only case and he was doing it on the regular basis whihc changes things dramatically and was probably the reason why he was perma banned.

I believe that forum lost some good members by being too strict in the past and perma banning members for a single copied sentence but no one cared since number of active users was on the rise. Now situation changed and they realised that wasn't the smart decision so forum staff become more lenient in that regard.

Those two statements kind of don't jibe.  This guy (like many other forum plagiarists) is here to make money, plain and simple.  If you give him any kind of temporary signature ban, there's little chance he's just going to wait it out or to somehow improve his writing ability.  The main reason these idiots copy/paste other members' content is precisely because they lack writing skills--or they have nothing to say about a given topic but need to make a post anyway.

I'd only support signature bans if they were permanent, but since it's too easy to create new accounts I don't think it makes much of a difference unless the account is of a fairly high rank.  In OP's case a permanent signature ban would likely cause him to abandon his account, and he might have a hard time ranking back up to Full member.  Anyway, given that he's lying here in addition to his original offenses he ought to be permabanned.  IMO now isn't the time to lessen the consequences for stealing other people's words.

I am of the opinion that paraphrasing will be more difficult to a smart person than making a new post. Even if you don't have full knowledge of what the post is saying, you can take a clue from that same post and make yours, without plagiarising or paraphrasing. It is not the best practice, but should be better.
Let me try and make same Dybala post, taking clue from the original. My own post is in italics.



Dybala has proven how special he is as a player.  His impact was well felt in the match, even if he missed the majority of the season's matches due to injury, he was still intrumental to his team because he doesn't appear less fit to other players

In the above instance, I didn't generate any idea of my own and I didn't also plagiarise neither did I paraphrase.

Op, your chances here are slim as more evidences of plagiarism are coming up.

When I read the appeal I felt sorry for you because anybody can make the same mistake. Sometimes I might want to quote a post and maybe fail to include the quote code and I will have to edit it immediately. But a close look at your case shows that it is not a slip of the hand but a conscious act. And your case is different because you engaged in what I will call "lazy plagiarism". I call it lazy copy and paste because you were mutilating people's posts from the forum (the same thread) instead of at least putting a little effort of lifting from other sources from the internet.

It is now clear that you broke the forum's rules more than one time, so you can only plead for mercy. Building an account to a member rank is not an easy task, so I just hope you will be given a second chance to prove that you have accepted your mistake and decided never to repeat this prohibited act. Nothing is impossible, you might be lucky. All the best mate.

After reading the OP, it is clear that he is lying. The proof is already on this thread and it is clear that plagiarism was done. The way inwhich it was done is hilarious. The arrogance and confidence shown in the topic does hint at multiple alt accounts. I don't feel any remorse, but confidence that the user was in the wrong. What I feel bad about is that the user was a part of the Sherbet old signature campaign and was able to deceive the campaign manager and campaign owner. I would request the moderators to keep the ban in place.
