Topic: Ban Appeal RegulusHr and discussion on topic "good for the forum as a whole". - page 13. (Read 6318 times)

I am relatively new here but Regulus has been and an amazing support to anyone on the Croatian subforum. He was a merit source, the day he got banned theymos doubled his merits which i think is proof enough that he was a valuable member and trusted even by theymos. It is so sad that he made that mistake. I wish he could return because our local forum has lost a very valuable member.   

I can confirm everything Daniel91 said.

RegulusHR was very active in our local board, contributing in building our Bitcointalk Croatian board on daily basis by writing high quality content and meriting good posts. He was very helpful, specially to the newbies (myself included) by helping them to make first steps in cryptocurrency world.

He was the first one to volunteer to be merit source in croatian board, and did his duty responsibly and fairly.

I personally met him twice. One time for trading (I bought cryptocurrency from him and gave him positive trust), and second time on offline meetup of local bitcointalk community that he organized and covered all expenses. I can confirm he is honest and fair offline like he is online here on forum.

Yes he made one error but I don't think we should be defined by errors in our past, but we should be judged by who we are today.

I hope that moderators and administrator will listen to the plead of Croatian Bitcointalk community and deactivate ban on RegulusHR.

IF it was just that one post
IF he hasn't been ninja editing
IF he has support of the Croatian community
I wouldn't argue with leniency.

Because I know him personally.
He is honest and sincere person and I believe him.
I can say something like this only for a few people in my life.

I don't think so. It would have to be prior to the ban, which makes even less sense now that I think of it. I have no idea how it's possible to claim with such certainty that it was only ever done once.


How do you know that?

I'm member in Croatian forum and I an say that RegulusHr is well respected member in our local forum.
He was first merit source and really helped many local members to get merit for good quality posts in croatian and to advance in the forum.
He even organize first offline meeting between members in Croatia.
We really enjoyed great time in the restaurant for the dinner and sharing and he paid for it.
He is very kind member, always ready to help and support others.
We really miss him a lot and want him back!
Since he was main merit sourcer in our part of the forum, we lost also in this way.
Yes, he made one mistake but is anybody perfect here, without any mistake?
Please mods forgive his mistake and restore his account.
In the coming posts you will see great support he have among croatian members on this forum.

@ReguluHr

I looked through the post history of your profile and have discovered that almost all of your comments in Croatian and it is difficult to judge about their quality to majority of forum users.

Nevertheless, I suppose if some reputable members from Croatian locale will confirm that you will bring more benefit to the forum if your ban would be cancelled, then the chances for successful appeal will increase possibly and you will receive a signature ban instead of a permanent ban.

I had been reading that banned members can neither delete nor edit messages. Check the comments below:

I think banned users can delete posts, but just can't edit them. I have read about it somewhere on meta(I think) about a similar issue of deleted post by a member after ban.

I know for a fact that banned users have access to their profiles. I also thought it was in read-only mode and they cannot delete/edit posts.

Can anyone confirm they can do that post ban? If so, that's fucked up.

You've admitted to have plagiarized, that wouldn't change a thing.. You could have quoted and add "I agree with this" with an additional point at least, that'd have been considered more reasonable


I'm sorry but I would not consider that as an excuse to plagiarize neither do I think mods will, as a newbie If you do well enough to seek rules guiding the bounties you participated in and adhere strictly to them, then you should have done as well to find the rules governing the forum, which in my opinion aren't far fetched..

I'm sorry about your account tho, but the damage is irreparable..

Who's "we"?

That's an almost unprovable assertion, unless perhaps you know which posts you copied and went back and deleted them.

Dear Forum Admins/Moderators,
I have been a member of Bitcointalk.org forum since September 2017 and with my regular posts and participation on Croatian section of the forum, I believe, I have actively contributed to the quality of the posts on the forum. During this period, I have invested significant amount of time and effort to do so.
My belief of positive contribution has been confirmed many times by other members of the forum and what is more important by Theymos.
Therefore, I have been very unpleasantly surprised on 5th of January when I received your ban due to, as you state, „probably spam or plagiarism“.  Surprise was even bigger because on the same day I also received a thank you post and an increased amount of merit through my sources from Theymos.

After a reflection back and detailed search of my posts, done by my colleagues on the forum, one post from December 2017 was found, which was placed in ANN topic and in which I expressed support for a project. The text written was taken over from other post, since I fully agreed with it.
I would like to point out that at the time I have been a relatively new member of the forum and not yet fully aware of interpretations of all the forum rules. These rules I have learned thoroughly in the following period which is visible since after that no similar situation can be found within my posts.
Problematic post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-electrum-dark-fully-functional-decentralized-marketplace-2491104
I have to point out that this was one and only mistake we found throughout the membership period, which was not deliberate and which happened long time ago. I strongly believe that there was much more positive contribution to the forum afterwards and that the imposed ban seems as a too strict measure.
Therefore I would like to ask you to reconsider the ban and give me a chance to further take part in the forum topic I find interesting and motivating.
Best regards
RegulusHr
