I think there is a chance now for you to get unbanned, although it depends on what was the main Reason why you got banned initially but the forum had introduced a new rule to get second chance to banned members maybe you would qualify. Here is the guide
thread for a second chance, you can follow it for a try
Thankyou so much for letting me know. I've just appeal on that thread.
Fingers crossed until mod's decision.
We'll see what the mods have to say, but plagiarism is still a serious offense in 2024. In fact I'd say it should be even more serious since nowadays people are using AI to make posts and it's harder than ever to tell if something somebody's writing is genuine or not.
If this was a referendum or some such thing, I'd vote for not lifting the ban....but it's not, and enforcement of bans after multiple years might have gotten more lax since 2019.
I do agree with you.
But do you think I will ever do the same mistake again?
Won't I deserve a chance? (After 5 actual years)
The focus shouldn't be the number of year since the account have been banned, but the reason for the ban, and just asThe Sceptical Chymist said, plagiarism is still a very serious offense here in the Forum in 2024 and if that is your offense, I will say that you should just move on, and but the forum goodbye because even this correct account will get banned for ban invasion.
There are pardonable offense and plagiarism is not part of those offenses that the moderators look away from, so if that is your case, I will suggest you stop wasting you time appealing, and as an old member, you should already know the rules of the forum.
