I was curious why RegulusHR was permabaned without getting second chance like many other users here, I suspected there is something larger going on but no one really told us anything. Now, we have this spam account who got second chance and I find all this very confusing.
I have stated my thoughts on this thread several times during the discussion, and like most of the Croatian community, it was not clear to me why some members got a second chance at much worse plagiarism cases, while others like RegulusHr did not get anything other than complete ignore. Especially considering that this member has received the biggest support from his community than any other member who has start a ban appeal.
The only thing in my opinion that is led to this development is the fact that RegulusHR is become a merit source just a day before he got ban, and admin is notice that for sure. RegulusHR should definitely be given a second chance, nothing more or less than what others have been given.
No, Regulus was a merit source long before that.
In fact, theymos only a day or two before permaban doubled the number of available merits for Regulus as merit source.
Perhaps this is why the permaban, which happened after the "big reward from admin", was without the possibility of forgiveness or second chance for him.
I'm just guessing because in 8 months of this discussion we've never received any response from admin but Regulus seems to have made them very angry.
It's just my opinion, of course.
If I'm wrong I'd like to ask theymos to correct me and to say openly the right reasons for refusing forgiveness.
