As theymos said:
There's been no policy change. redsn0w wasn't permanently banned due to several factors which made me think that permabanning him would be a net negative for the forum. Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.
Hello, i would like to ask unban for user
markiz73I know, that he was banned for plagiarism, one of the most terrible and inhuman misconduct on our forum. But i have some reasons to ask for unban for him.
1). He is very useful in miners thread1. Most of his posts were in miners section, where he gives useful advices for noobs and experienced. You can see it from his
trust page (in russian board 1-2 feedbacks is very awesome, even trustworthy members like
TheFuzzStone often have not more than 5 feedbacks).
First his topic was in mining section and he was not indifferent to
future of russian mining section.
2. He created a lot of guides and useful (not superficial) analytics about mining. For example:
GPU and CPU situationmining historiesAMD mining analyticcomparison RTX 2080 and RTX 2080TIAdvices to not be fooledAlso he notified about different new asics and hardware:
Grin asicsAntminer D3Bitfury Tardis......
3. He busted different scams which belonged (not only) to mining.

I remember him as a person, who always answered to different newbie questions. Even his
last post was an answer to question about transaction acceleration
He translated some useful topics from english board
Wasabi Wallet and
Vanitygen for new our sub board
Oбcyждeниe Bitcoin3). He is not a troll or bitcoin haterIn our board, which is
FULL of @
mommy's cryptohaters@ and various trolls (from political trolls to crypto trolls and women haters), this is, without a doubt,
large pros.
Yep, this is not too much. He was not the
usefullest person on our forum, and even in russian local board, but i believe he was usefullest for russian miners and that he
will be useful for forum and crypto community in the future.
So, i believe that permaban for his account it's unfair not only (and not mostly) to him, but for people who needs his advices. Yes, he copypasted text to fill more posts for signature campaign, that's bad. But
sig ban will solve this problem. Markiz will not have incentives to copypaste again, but still useful for russian local community.
Thanks for your attention.
