Topic: [BAN APPEAL] markiz73 - page 2. (Read 3552 times)

One month passed, no response from mods or admins. I understand that theymos or Cyrus are busy, but not only they could unban users.

Here is comment from different topic and what we see here?


I translate it to you: "We lost markiz month ago, and mining section in russian local board almost DEAD"

Thank you, admins, for destroying russian local board.

The OP has disrespected the admin by copy and pasting posts and then you support the OP by calling admin as lazy for not taking actions on the ban appeal of OP? Well, you should be careful that you will get tagged for the ban from OP you might get tagged as an alt account and then will get ban also. Be careful and respect the admin. They may not be attending every ban appeals but they are working and I have seen some other cases in ban appeals where other users in the forum could not point on why a certain user gets ban and there come the MODz showing the real reason for ban if other users could not provide it.

Lol, why not?

I'm not sure if that will help the cause dude(tte)....

What time is it now? Time to unban for useful users :0

dear lazy admins, so what about our Markiz? Help him please.

I, too, consider that markiz73 deserves a lighter punishment for his mistakes. He can still benefit to the forum.

I know markiz73 as a competent miner, who always shared information with newbies. Yeah, he broke the rules, but damn it, the punishment shouldn't be so hard. My opinion is that in his case it is possible to deviate from the General rules.

In general terms, the number of earned merits as a numerical uncontextualized criteria, be it 30 or 300, is not a criteria to let people of the hook, or to allow them the benefit of a smaller punishment when breaking the rules. Even if we wanted to consider merits a sort of synonym to how useful the person is on the forum to its community, giving him another dimension to the appeal, then merits alone are not the best indicator due to the widespread criteria when awarding them (i.e. some people have managed to get those 30 merits by posting a witty onliner or a meme, whilst others may have needed 30 distinct posts to reach that amount).

One would need to look at the nature of the posts behind those merits, which is inherently I figure part of the process of evaluating one as being (or not being) “net positive” for the forum. Some boards, such as Bitcoin Mining and Bitcoin Project Development, receive a very limited amount of merits, so here again the numerical value would be unbalanced versus regular posters on other boards with similar posting capabilities.

Posting language can obviously make it harder when evaluating the intent behind, but earned merits is no substitute and should not be a sweetener directly when appealing. Local mods can help put clarify intent in these cases (although not all Local Boards have one).

This probably was overlook by the Mods or if it is auto ban then a ban appeal here in the forum will do. Though Mods are busy taking care a lot of issues and concerns, this ban appeal might still be consider lifting the ban and instead prohibit the user to wear signature over a period of time.

My only concern with this matter is that there are other users also that are good and make an appeal.but not granted. Is it unfair for them? I hope that admin will be fair in lifting ban appeals.

I cant say anything about ban, but i can say that his posts often were useful for me. He is skilled specialist and his advises helped to lots of people in russian community at least. If it`s possible - unban would be a good decision.

Dear admins. I know only about these violations. If I understand correctly, then you do not always publish complete information about violations.
Can I get a complete list of my violations?

I was asked to help both markiz73 and tvplus006


I ask for the 3 strike method for all members even newbies

rather then the insta perm ban

below is what I posted on other thread

+ 1. Please unban markiz73

I agree completely. I support and join the request.

I also support the appeal to replace markiz73's permaban with a temporary ban and sig ban.

Already 5 DT1 members supporting unban: TheFuzzStone, Alex_Sr, taikuri13, Veleor (with comments) and MaoChao (with merit).
Also many active russian members (who merited my OP post) supporting unban. Even xandry (I doubt that merit doesn't mean "support"). Admins, do you really think that we would support ordinary scammer and shitposter?

Are these 3 DT members are in Theymos trust list? I think theymos is trusting the moderators more than anyone else in this forum.
Xandry meriting it and not writing anything does not clear the picture at all. I am not sure whether Xandry merited it for your effort or whether Xandry agree. (In real sense, Merit does not means I agree, Instead it means I appreciate your logic or reasoning.)

PM Xandry, a personal vouch by him to theymos/Hilariousandco will definitely make things smooth.

Well there are chances that this account will be retreive again. The system of banning has been twisted a little bit for the good of users. This is really good news to every users that want to continue discussing in cryptocurrency topics but without wearing signatures.

It is a privilege to be here in the forum and wearing a signature is just a bonus. The important thing is that we can learn and earn as an extra source of income. It is not really that bad now. Admins started to become a user friendly forum.

It depends on how many times of plagiarism. If markiz73 only did it one or two times so far, especially did it years ago; and had good net effects, markiz73 surely will be considered and likely given a mercy, and can jump out from the grave. Above is stance of hilariousandco, that is clearly states that second chancce is not a common one for all permanent banned users due to plagiarism. As global mod wrote, each appeal will be considered carefully, by looking and finding past plagiarism, not only what already reported, but also global mod need time to dig deeply and find potential more plagiarism before making decision on a second chance. Past contributions and good net effects are clearly shown by supporters, so it is only takes time to find out more past plagiarism, I guess.
