I don't see how that user can be banned because his post has some similarities with an article on some other websites.

there were a lot of difference between the post and the link

TYPES OF WALLET
1)Desktop wallet:These are wallets usually created by the token developers,for example to find an official supported wallet for bitcoin,you can download one from https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
2)Mobile wallet:These are app-based wallets that you can download on your phone,although more common for Android based phones. Examples include the blockchain mobile wallet for android
3)Online wallet:All exchanges offer online wallet to allow you send and receive tokens,for example,Coinbase or my Etherwallet.com.it is highly recommended to store tokens offline to reduce risks of hacks,pshishing attempts and also the collapse of exchanges.while most exchanges have security protocols in place,there have been disasters like the infamous MT Goxhack in 2014 where $460 million worth of bitcoin was stolen
4)Paper wallet:paper wallet are simply print out of your wallets public and private keys along with a QR code you can scan.A private key is basically a sequence of letters and numbers (much like the long password)that you and only you should know,in order to unlock your wallet and access your tokens.Coindesk has a guide on how to create a paper wallet
5)Hardware wallet:These is the most secure way to store your tokens. Hardware wallets are completely offline(often referred to as cold storage)Hardware wallets do not support every token out there,so you must have to find out if the tokens you want to store are supported by the hardware wallet,popular options are the ledger nanos and the Trezor hardware wallet.

The issue here is, is that post a direct copy of the link?

And does that deserve an instant ban?

And also were the moderators biased because the user made an unsavoury post?

And when would we have anyone protecting the rights of the lower ranking members?

Anyone who has more than 2 merits has at least 1 merit to hand out. Maybe you should consider your own ineptitude before blaming everyone else.

Edit: And your latest post here is plagiarized from here. Archived and reported. Enjoy your ban.

Another warning to everyone currently begging for merit - maybe you should consider your own stupidity before drawing attention to yourself.

I don't see how that user can be banned because his post has some similarities with an article on some other websites.
It could possibly have been used for research purposes, and the user took some information from there and other sites.

And I can prove it if necessary.

Did you read the post?
I did and I also checked the link, there were a lot of difference between the post and the link.
I feel it was a prejudiced decision as I see words from other end source added to a post.
This is not a content competition, was there a rule on the % of plagiarism?
While BT is bickering about spams and newbies, other  forums are going to the moon.
No one can complain without some random user going through his pride searching for some errors or even going as petty as checking for spelling errors and when the find some shallow fault, the moderators are more than happy to do their bidding.. That is what is killing the forum not spams and whatnot... Clear bais.
And when you call them out they hide as they have done on this thread.

This is the internet and furthermore this is a private forum.  What rights do you think you're entitled to, exactly?

And when would we have anyone protecting the rights of the lower ranking members?

But that wasn't the only question there, but the only one you addressed. Nice, just nice.

With just one diamond you can buy all the shit in the world   But you won't find too many buyers for shit 
This forum was never about quantity and should never be like that

It is quite simple - use your own words or quote the source that you got the material from.

It is not hard to quote the source if it isn't your own words that you are posting.

If you quote the source then it could be considered "fair use". If you don't quote the source then it could be plagiarism and copyright infringement.

This just looks like a retaliation, cause this post struck a nerve, this further proves the bias in this forum and how the the lower ranking members are trod upon by higher ranking members.
For God's sake thus is not a content competition and it is not in the rules that you can't pick ideas from sources.
Are we suppose to learn about cryptocurrency without reading about it?
I strongly suggest theymos looks into this.
Maybe it's not the spam posters killing the the group but the conceited high ranking members.

Don't worry, it's not an individual decision. About 17,000 users have collectively decided not to give you any Merit.

I feel you a wrong be this post it will affect the community balance. The merit distribution now will clean up the spamming in this group so it is fair
