@cryptofrka maybe theymos knows something we don't so he doesn't want to reply because of that or maybe he is deeply sad because someone who become merit source with larger number of smerits turned out to be "c/p-person or maybe he was busy for last 5 months building house and he will maybe reply soon. I am also interested why some accounts are unbanned and regulus is not.
If Theymos is the one reading through all ban appeals and making every single decision alone, then we are more of a North Korean forum than a Soviet one. However, I doubt that is the case.
And yea, on a sidenote - you are Croatian, you read Reguls's posts and should really not be calling him a "c/p person". That 'good project, I support' airdrop post he was banned for is probably hidden somewhere in our post history as well, just waiting to be dug out by this shitty script.
Plagiarism is something else. It is a tough offense which should be dealt with harshly. Copying somebody's 4-word post is hardly plagiarism (although
theoretically I can understand the connection).
Letting the steam out once in a while is good, it's just that you're directing it at the wrong people. Admins and mods are generally not part of any dramas here and they're the ones to make a decision in this case. And vice versa, the drama club members have fuck all to do with this. Besides neither Regulus nor Branko are innocent as you make it sound. I'd be happy to see both of them get a softer penalty on the account of their forum contributions but you're not gonna achieve that by yelling at staff as if they did something wrong.
But they did something wrong, did they not? They are completely ignoring the thread for 5 months. They lifted the ban from Bill Gator the
same day. Probably others as well.
Neither Regulus nor Branko are 'innocent', the core point of this thread was to prove that the penalty was too harsh. Whatever advice you gave us, we followed. We are really feeling stupid already - if 20 of us is trying to make a point and we are constantly being ignored, it makes you feel like sh*t. Not even a reply? That shows a lack of manners as well.
Mods/admins should be cherrypicked and their primary interest should be making this forum as equal as possible for everybody. Their role should be one of guidance and support, not one of ignorance and double standards.
I am neither yelling nor trying to pick a fight. I am just trying to provide feedback.
Regulus has a decent appeal thread going on here - why don't you work on one for Branko as well.
I already told you he's 53. He'll be dead before the mighty mods evaluate it.
