Topic: Ban Appeal RegulusHr and discussion on topic "good for the forum as a whole". - page 2. (Read 6288 times)

I think moderators are to busy with all the spam and people posting crap so I have great solution to kill two birds with one stone.
We should have more decentralization and some voting process for unbanning people.
Adding more voting to other major decisions would also be wise.

I don't know why admins think they will stop us with their silence.

They took one of our members and we want to know why is he not pardoned like many people who were also banned.

This issue can only be resolved by forum admins, but they have chosen to remain silent and ignore this topic for almost a year and a half.
I can understand that for principle reasons, regardless of the local community's request, they don't want to forgive Regulus but I can't understand that they don't even want to give some simple answer to Regulus and to a large number of local community members, after so long time.
Given the many examples where some other members have been forgiven for major mistakes, a large number of members of our community feel that Regulus has been treated unfairly and has not been given a real chance.
This is the main reason why this topic is still active, and will be active probably for years to come, sending a certain message to forum admins but also to the entire bitcoin community here.

Like I said, I’m not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised. Would you be?
What is the logical explanation that some members were given a second chance or a milder punishment (like a temporary ban or a sig. ban), while Regulus and probably many others cannot?


Agreed and agreed.

This is a serious accusation and I would not really go so far as to accuse someone without concrete arguments and evidence.
Likewise, such accusations will not help resolve this case.
What we all expect and ask for is for the admins to consider this case and make their decision.
After the great interest in this case, and all the arguments presented, and after 16 months of waiting, that is the minimum we all expect to see.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some moderators secretly take hush money for unban. Of course, this is not an accusation and I have absolutely no evidence for this. This is just my opinion and general impression. Who's to say that this is implausible judging by everything seen here?

The little man will always be neglected while the big fish always find their ways. That’s why Lauda probably won’t get banned (and I’m not saying she should be), and RegulusHr, and many others, will never get a second chance.

Pirate just moved to his new accounts.
He now works for Bcash bosses and promote Bcash in Brasil, so he can buy high ranked accounts here.

I failed to understand the criteria the mods use for banning and unbanning members on the day pirate hunter a ban evader, a bounty cheat and a scam promoter was miraculously unbanned without any appeal and has been scot-free ever since.

Unlike some members including Regulus who have contributed positively to the forum but have been denied a second chance, pirate hunter is a person whose net contribution to the forum is in negatives but all our appeals fell on deaf ears blind eyes

I think all members who gave support to Regulus here will follow this case very closely: 
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54469714
expecting the same chance to be given to everyone.

Well, I am guessing here. Anyway, not a single ban here is comparable to unbanned ICO spam service, not only it is literally payed-to-spam-forum activity, it is fraudulent activity!

What Regulus did? @Lucius, why did you remove your posts? If we are talking about ban appeal and forum administration not responding, it is not beating dead horse!

If that was the case I think the admins would have mentioned that in this thread and there would be no valid grounds for unfair treatment. Or it would have been discovered in some other ways by members investigating that sort of thing. There is something more here that we don't know apparently.

No way of that happening, I know the wise minds of this forum will always find a way to doubt what we say and I am not even talking to them anymore, but I'm putting this for you - you know all of the merited users on this list.

We also know the guy, he did not want to take his cash reward from mladen for the best joke in one of the giveaways because he thought it was too big to take so instead took whoever wanted for drinks that he paid for with that money.
Selling merits? No way, there's more chance of admins here getting a spine than of Regulus selling merits. So no to both of these.

Another example. This is account which run spam service, what is worth to mention is (http://archive.is/fxT47):

I don't have anything to add here except that this account is not banned and he can come back and post whenever he like. It's bloody spam service! Another example is account antikvark who is evading ban btw and all he does is spreading FUD against bitcoin.

I don't think anyone does.
Maybe he, as a merit source, sent merit to alt account or sold merit? I don't see any other logical (backing up my logic with all previous examples) explanation.

Since I am following this topic for quite a while, I can confirm I don't understand the situation as well.

It is not a matter of liking Regulus or not, but a matter of applying the same measures to everyone. And either we are not being told everything, or there is an issue in the staff's objectivity. I don't see another option, and neither is acceptable imho in a spirit of transparency...

You can PM some select DT members and kindly ask them to evaluate this situation. I highly doubt that any of them are going to disagree with my or the views of others supporting the unbanning of OP.

Personally, I think that already many members expressed their opinion here and shared their disagreement with the decisions of the admins and the moderators.
As you said, ''Regular members and DT members are making this forum, not just moderators and creator,'' but obviously admins and moderators don't want to listen and accept the opinions of forum members.
They don't even want to answer Regulushr's unban appeal, reconsider this case or answer many questions from members in this topic.
I assume they're waiting for this topic to die naturally, so that admins would not have to make a decision that would set a dangerous precedent for them.
I understant it but I'm very sorry that the higher interests have defeated justice here.
Justice in this case would not even be forgiveness but an admin response and a reconsideration of the case, according to the procedure and rules designated by the admins themselves for such cases.
Unfortunately, I will have to disappoint admins and moderators but this case has created a sense of great injustice throughout the Croatian community and will never be forgotten, and that means that even this topic will never be forgotten.

I would also like to invite other DT members to examine facts posted in this topic.
Regular members and DT members are making this forum, not just moderators and creator, with all due respect.
Voice of the members must be heard.

The main problem in this case is the disparity of the criteria and not whether Regulus has sufficiently justified his request for forgiveness.
Theymos explained the procedure and criteria for the removal of permaban and Regulus followed this procedure 100%.
However, for the full 15 months he received no reply which is not acceptable and also not ok from a human point of view.
On the other hand, for some members, who have made even more mistakes, permaban was very quickly removed.
Some members had their permaban resolved in a matter of hours and some members didn't even have to open a ban appeal topic here and follow the prescribed procedure to get a permaban forgiveness.
As a result, members of the Croatian community are very disappointed, not with permaban because it was fully deserved, but with the response of admins on the forum,  because they didn't fully follow the procedures and rules  which they have set themselves.
Mr. Theymos, it's not too late, even after 15 months, to correct all errors made in this case, give Regulus the same opportunity as others, follow your own rules and procedures and make a fair decision.
All members of this forum community will respect you if you do the only right thing here, finally, after 15 months consider this case  and finally answer Regulus.
This is a request from a large number of members of this forum and I hope you will accept it.

Who the hell cares whether the alt account is good or not? What is wrong with you? It was created only to make the appeal. You should not even look at the alts posts.

Stop spamming this topic and read previous page.

Did RegulusHr kill someone so he can't get second chance like some other accounts?

WTF if going on? My reports are still unhandled and one of accounts mentioned in previous post is free to spam:





I mean, what the fuck?
