Is there any feasible way to un-ban a profile?

To avoid banning your profile you need to read first the basics forum rules here on bitcoin world.Definitely there's a process before you totally banned.As What I've remembered first to fourth offense and these are the followings:

First Offense: 7 days suspension
Second Offense: 14 days suspension
Third Offense: 30 days suspension
Fourth Offense: Permanent banned

<...> Posts over 65535 bytes get cut off at 65535 bytes. If that makes the BBcode invalid in certain ways, then you get the INVALID BBCODE error.

Also, note that a byte is different from a character. Because SMF stores "special" characters in a particularly space-inefficient way, each Russian character uses about 6 bytes, and each line break also uses 6 bytes.

Today a friend of mine asked me something that made me thoughtful, he is a member of the forum and he has a brother who is also a member. He wanted to know if it's a problem using the same IP to advertise the campaigns. I replied that this is dangerous as it may appear that it is duplicating accounts. But how can they advertise campaigns with the same IP? Or is it not allowed? Huh

What do you mean by "advertise campaigns"? Are they part of a signature campaign? If so, that's on the campaign manager to allow or prohibit multiple users participating within the campaign on the same IP.

The policy to not remove anything worked when the forum was small. Now that we have thousands of posts a day, we can't afford 50% of them being junk. The moderators are now instructed to be less tolerant of low-value posts.

Some guidelines:

1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content

Thank you for this, as a new here. It will prevent new member to spam replies.

i feel misdirected to join this forum by an add and then i ask a question about where to post a comment like i was instructed to do by the add , and registering etc , promising i could mine ethereum , and then my simple and clear question gets DELETED , guyes .. really... UNSUSCRIBE me here immediately , what a waste of time to trust this and get treated like this while following instructions, crazy .. forget it. i would like to UNSUSCRIBE , or please tell me how to do that at once here , cuz i have tried now multiple times but can not find where to do that, getting a very scammy feeling. i find this really very uncool. Shashine , u have my email moderator i assume, which is bad enough. -

I agree. I' a newbie here but I believe that having guidelines would make forums like this so much healthier and enjoyable for many. Without policies, we're like driving in the streets without traffic rules. Sure sounds like a huge traffic jam.

New here. Is there a policy for quoting news articles or other sources for reference in a post you are making? Like cutting and pasting a small section of text and citing the source with a link?

No problem. Truth is, I like staying in this forum. I rather stay here than reading bitcoin news in Google. Every one has something good to say. Every one has their opinion to be respected.

Your thread won't be deleted. Most rules or laws are subjective and is down to the person who is enforcing them but there was likely a good reason for it being deleted. It could have been a valid response in your eyes, but if the answer had already been given sufficiently or it was in a necrobumped thread then it may/can be removed.

I made a perfectly reasonable post that is in line with actual data, and it was deleted. No transparency as to who deleted it, no way to appeal it, or determine why it was deleted. How exactly does the moderation work, and why isn't there a better system for oversight/communication when things are deleted? I assume such protocols are in place, but I'm relatively new here.

You can create a thread about it in Meta if you really wish but read the rules first as it was almost certainly removed for breaking one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-list-of-official-bitcointalkorg-rules-guidelines-faq-703657

Posts are removed for a whole host of reasons but staff don't have the time to explain or argue every single one so bear that in mind.

Thanks. Nah, not worth it (and the thread itself would risk getting deleted I guess). Looking at the rules the only one it could possibly be would be #1, which seem quite subjective. I get deleting obvious spam, but beyond that, subjective guidelines enforced in a non-transparent fashion is not a great mechanism. With wikis there's usually some means of seeing the moderation. But clearly I'm new here, so if those are the rules of the game, I'll follow along.

mode rators delete threads that are conflict with their own interest thereby reducing the quantity and quality of information users can discover. but this message board is by the original btc guys so they will struggle with the powershift in btc that occurs as they cashout and new owners take over

Do you actually have any evidence of that because if you did they would likely be removed from staff. I'm guessing you probably either didn't read or can't follow the rules though which is why your posts or threads will have been removed.
