Topic: Legendary account banned? - page 3. (Read 1523 times)

Appreciated your help, thanks! My mistakes are there, even if there should be a lot to say for each quoted case, I can't delete them.

My point is, what would happen if each single user is "scanned" like me today? How many would survive?

Since I read mainly the altcoin sections, I would say that 90% of posters there should be banned, if the rules would be strictly applied. But I don't think this is the way of handling a community, banning everybody.

Some people commenting this thread have rather new accounts, and since the very first post, they completely respect the rules and make no mistakes. They born with all this "how-to" knowledge, or they just opened another account and they are here to gain merit as you stated, which is once again against the rules?

In almost 5 years, I posted over 1600 posts. Is it correct to ban me because I made some mistakes? My overall reputation and positive feedbacks are nothing? Did somebody complain about me or my posts, except the one that I clearly copied? Zero tolerance for everybody, or only for me?

I think this forum has the privilege to lead a movement. It should include more and more people, not only kick them out.

If you had read my post clearly you would have noticed I was replying to Kopyleft on that part.  
That is why it says @kopyleft, anything under that notice is for the attention of kopyleft.

I am sad you lost your legend account. I was trying to help you but it seems there are too many instances for me to try to build a case in your favour.

 I still think even though there were several instances they are still like announcements now that i look at them again really so it's not exactly as trying to claim as your own work. but then adding ref link will might mark you down I am just saying that due to more being found quickly by people it is hard to fight against it.

However if they are banning for just 1 and there are lots there is no point to try now unless they are all announcements? the cryptopia one is an announcement so I would let that one be okay for sure....especially as that one is to actually help people get their coins swapped over before it is too late.

 This is vital piece of information actually or people can lose a lot of money. That post kopyleft wrongly mentioned is actually worthy of merit for you really. I will explain why. People owning coins getting swapped for new coins often will not tell others because the less swapped over the more their stake is. So the fact you are telling people actually does tell me you are not actually a scammer. telling people of a swap date actually reduces your stake. I have missed out on a few swaps that cost me quite a bit.

I suspect it was lost in the language barrier that I was trying to help you??  I am the only person here that feels legends generally should be allowed a couple of small mistakes over the years.


Oh well.

Your best hope is directly with theymos I would say.

Let me plagiarize the Bible: First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

Forum rules
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]







I never visited this meta forum section before today, but quickly learned that this is the place to gain merits:



I leave you the nice job to catch all people that makes mistakes. The forum at the end will be a very quiet place, as almost nobody will survive.

Ciao

Yeah, that ABCC one is particularly damning since it was blatant plagiarism and he attached his own referral link to the bottom. A complete waste of an account, as you say, but I have little sympathy for people who have been on the forum for years and haven't once bothered to read the forum rules. We teach children not to copy each other's schoolwork/homework. Why would grown adults think this is acceptable behavior?

Still, on the plus side, we get two more boxes marked off on our bingo cards!

Fair enough case closed.

Why do they even appeal if it just not 1 or 2 mistake and not for financial gain.

Best thing to make a sticky telling them to check they are not just general plagiarist offenders who seek only financial gain.

What a waste of a legend account. These are not going to be that easy to build from scratch now.

He's a repeat offender:

hillarious etc

are you referring to the penguin coin swap  announcement?

I don't consider it a waste of time for a legend account in light of what theymos has said, the reporter (not the mod) should have the onus on them to evaluate the account they are reporting and suggest a punishment. There can be many reporters but hardly any mods.

Or another possibility is  offending legend pay a mod 0.1 BTC to review it properly and see if they consider it to meet certain criteria to be net positive.

I am seeing a few legend accounts going now. These are not you typical bot spammers and frequent plagiarist text spinners that are ruining the board.  Well not unless there are frequent instances not being reported.




@Kopyleft

you are wrong. and it is easy to comment when your account is a few days old and not something that people may have put years of hard work into. also you have not spend years reading constantly here have any concept of the history of some legends here and what difference they have made.

it is quite annoying to see people here 5 mins and at time gloating at legends getting banned for 1 or 2 mistakes.

what are you even doing on meta? i know this is the easiest place to gain merits but get on on the real boards and start becoming parts of crypto projects , join some communities, contribute to them, learn, find what ones have real passionate developers with specialised use cases and are capable of finishing their designs. What are you doing lurking around a board you have no real connection to as yet on the sub board concerned with the mechanism of how to improve the function of the board.?? seems weird i didnt even know about meta for several years.

Judging by the appeals we see on Meta, the most common reason for banned accounts is pliagarism and passing works and contents of others as you own idea. The mods could express liniency in other cases, but on the issue of copying and pasting or worse,  copying, spinning words and pasting there is no softer penalty and should not be.

And I don't think it matters whether it's an isolated case. The rules are straightforward, and available for all to read and adhere to.

Nobody should need a warning to not plagiarise content. It blows my mind that people even think to do this and there's no excuses for it, but that's greed and laziness for you. You can argue that it's harsh but that's how it is around here right now unless theymos says otherwise. I agree the rules or punishments for plagiarism should be displayed somewhere more prominent and shown upon sign-up, but again, this is only something theymos can implement.


There's usually more but one is all you need for a ban. Staff aren't going to go though all their posts and tally up all the ones we can find as it's just a colossal waste of time. I probably wouldn't have banned him for that ICO announcement but it still should be properly quoted and sourced. 

LOL

Please be sensible that is not plagiarism that is a cryptopia announcement  posting that to alert people here who may not have seen the notice their coins are danger if they do not see this is totally helpful.

Let's not start being completely crazy here.

His other one yes that is stupid error. I wonder if there are more or just an isolated case?

You can see it is announcement from cryptopia in the first line.  


@s therapist

What exactly do you mean about the Announcement board in the altcoins section? I don't see what you mean?

So, your normal way of contribution is-
Announcement (Altcoins)
Bounties (Altcoins)
Token (Altcoins)

Sometimes, your posts go with your username too.
pump=bump, some posts are looking like a clear bump.
How else you do contribute 

Ok, this sounds a very stupid thing I made, you are right. Don't even remember why I made it so, two months ago; it's not my normal way of contributing.

My last suggestions:
- users should be informed of their mistakes, so they don't repeat it (same as for deleted posts/threads, there should be a warning or an explanation)
- maybe reputation should consider these mistakes as opposite to merits, nobody is perfect but there should be an overall
- I appreciate your way of trying to keep the place clean, but direct ban to people that contributed most times in a proper way, and for years, to me it sounds a bit too much

Again, I made (at least) one mistake. As by rules (frankly I didn't read about this plagiarism strict rule before today, but it's my fault...) I'm out. If there's no mercy, this is my farewell to this community.

Ciao

As above, plagiarism. This was the post that was reported:

Just wait OP for some user that will come to check your profile on why your account has been banned. The modz are also human being so probably they could commit mistakes. But, modz has great percentage of accuracy on banning account. I suspect that it is plagiarism. I am still checking your profile history posts and probably will help to bump this thread so that other users can get in and help also with your case.

Again, I suspect that the banned was all about plagiarism so let us wait and see other user's input.

Update:

Your post

Original Post

This will be good to be reported as plagiarism if only you put the reference then this could be a different story.

As per the report, you and a bunches of accounts were posting the airdrop link in various sections. I am not sure whether you have been banned for this reason or not.
 If you are banned for this only,I think there is a misunderstanding (barely can happen, I never have seen) since you have said that you have posted in a thread where airdrops link are posted.
Wait for output from a moderator.

I've created this account to see if my situation can get sorted out.

After over 4.5 years activity on the forum, my Legendary account has been banned.

My username is yeswepump and my profile is https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/yeswepump-500098

Since there's no explanation on why account was banned, at https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php I can only see:


Frankly I don't think this was spam, as the thread was https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/amici-di-airdrop-aiutiamoci-a-segnalare-i-migliori-airdrop-1424389 which is indeed dedicated to airdrop links.

The other post also deleted, was the same message translated in English, posted on another Airdrop English thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/active-airdrop-update-17-may-2018-2726305

So, even if I'm not so fully convinced that I posted against the forum rules, my posts were deleted and I really don't care about that!! It's more than fine, I should forget about airdrops!

But was that the reason to perma ban my account?

I really hope that I can keep my love for this forum, and that I'm not forced to go away forever, as it seems the rules are clear in this case.
