As long as the new ban bot is concerned that is the one which is responsible for the current bans, I think a small modification in the code should satisfy that condition. Like the bot creator can check if the copied posts are written in 2017 or less and the count of copy-pasted posts is > 2.

    The bot might be a myth, though...

I'm not really in support for the ban for users who are above Hero+ and have 1 or maximum 2 posts copy-pasted. Like in terms of signature gains, how much they would have made copying the two posts? If the posts are from 2017 and less then they should be given another chance instead of a perma-ban. It's sad to see a legendary member getting banned for copying one post in 2016.

      Unfortunately, Hero+ accounts sell for a premium, so people can get in good sig campaigns and sling their sig all over the place. Also, I'm not sure that we can expect a moderator to sift through an account's post history to see what the extent of the plagiarism truly is. I suspect that tvplus may have other copy paste posts, since suchmoon exposed that he was prone to copy/paste a quick answer. Also, I believe suchmoon revealed that with the tools that she uses, searching through a post history is much more difficult than just going through a shitty megathread and finding hits.

Could be, but it's also not uncommon for plagiarists to try to stay on topic by copying something from earlier in the thread.
Do you run a bot or something that helps you find plagiarised posts? You are always the one to find them and very quick. Share your secrets sempai.

All the more reason for this user to be given a temporary posting ban and a signature ban for 2 years. Recently they have become a net positive for the forum and I don't think we should banish this user to the dog house forever.

Meh, tvplus just was answering a noob's question and parroted what the OP had answered to another user. I think the intent was to be useful rather than upping their post count for financial gain.

Having said that, I don't mind them getting a soft ban, just don't want to start the whole done-it-only-once-was-young-and-stupid excuse bingo Smiley

If not for plagiarism, your account may be banned for low-quality posts as most of your old posts are just bounty-related stuff. You started finding scams and other detective work very recently for which you got most of the merits. I could be wrong though.

Moderators replied on almost all of ban appeal thread and reply the reason of ban. But wondering why moderators are silent on "tvplus006" case. At least we could see the plagiarism post that OP got ban for. We can't judge before know the mistakes. So we want to know what was the post/mistake ?
Moderators are not bound to reply to such threads, they do it out of their choice. If you're that curious, maybe you should open OP's profile and look for plagiarised posts?

A moderator did reply to this thread, but had no info.

I don't know what it's for as there's no handled reports in the queue but I'm guessing it was probably for plagiarism.

 Since it appears that the results are inconclusive, I think tvplus006 should be granted a temp ban.

I think the next step for your ban appeal is probably admitting that you did plagiarized a content and how sorry you are for that mistake. After that your ban appeal must contain how you have contributed in the forum when you were still an active member. The appeal really still depends on what theymos thinks about the case so you aren't really losing anything for trying.

I am really disappointed about OP case. Its unexpected that we will not get answer why OP got ban for which post or any other reason. Lot of worst member of this forum got ban and getting their answere as well the reason of ban. But we still don't know the reason of ban for OP who is consider as a assets of forum.

I don't like to create any post really. But as a forum member I have right to ask why a good contributor got ban and its excusable or not.

I will be happy if any moderators or admin check the profile what is the exact reason of ban.

@OP, you have right to bump this thread. It will not consider ban evasion if you make reply on this thread.

Do not give up.

Well seems like other members have shown how exceptional tvplus006 has contributed towards the forum by finding plagiarised whitepapers and all, which is a commendable job!

OP should edit title with, "Ban by mistake" and mention admin. So other moderators and admin will check your account.
AFAIK Ban mistakes hardly happen on BCT!

Without any speculation best to wait for mods.


@Coolcryptovator nice work hope to see the "saved by the quote" if lady luck is TV's side

In my opinion @ tvplus006, is prohibited because the Post is 100% identical. Plagiarism
I'm sure the @ tvplus006 account was blocked based on this report:
I am not getting why tvplus006 should be ban for this. Seems he is the original writer. Luckily someone replied with quote of full thread. So even post has been edited on November 03, 2018 the original quote of post made on April 21, 2018. But post made by "Harris Pay" on May 04, 2018. So the plagiarizer is Harris Pay. So this isn't reason why OP got ban.

I don't know what it's for as there's no handled reports in the queue but I'm guessing it was probably for plagiarism.
So what is the solution? Only admin could determine why OP got ban? Or this ban happen by mistake? There should be record if ban for plagiarism like other users.

Dear, colleagues

I want to introduce you to a table with the new AirDrop and Bounty programs, which are on bitcointalk.
This is not the first table which is posted on a forum, but definitely not least. But I want to believe that it will find its admirers, which will help with finding new bounty.
It’s not a secret, that new Bounty programs need to be taken from thread:
Bitcoin Forum > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Marketplace (Altcoins) > Bounties (Altcoins)
Of course they are not posted in the same order in my table. Before getting something similar, you will have to filter through some rubbish and only then you will find the new program itself. The ones who have done it, will understand what I mean.
So, I have created this draft work, filtering through the rubbish. Everything that I have found, I have put in the table according to days of the week. The only thing that you will have to do is choose program, which suits you best.
In this table, not only programs which are led by famous managers are gathered, but also those who lead bounty for the first time. And if everyone understands about the first ones, I will talk about the second.
There are many campaigns, which do not hire local managers, but lead them by themselves. As a rule, they have the rank Cooper Member, and their name corresponds to the name of their bounty program. That is why I included them in the table.
The following ICO Bench rating in the table is set at the start of a bounty campaign. To get more accurate value, you should follow a link, which will get you to the page of a campaign in the rating, since the value is re-counted every couple of hours.
P.S. please, do not take the following table as a recommendation, but as a helping hand with choosing bounty.
I will be glad to receive your comments and critical remarks.

THE TABLE OF NEW BOUNTIES, which will make you happy.
*you can stimulate regular updating of the table with the help of +Merit or any kind wor

฿itcoin for all, All for ฿itcoin.
Why don't you just continue this unban appeal here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unban-appeal-tvplus006-5143666 created by your friend? Someone already posted the reason why you've been banned.
I think it's better if he created his own appeal. This would show that he cares about his banned account and the community rather than let other people create for him an appeal.
With this thread, I am confident his appeal stands a higher chance of being looked into and I hope the Outcome is good as OP has really been good at bursting scam in the forum.

I have good faith that your ban will be considered and uplifted faster compared to most of the users who got affected on the recent ban wave. Due to your contribution and asset as someone who is dedicated to find fake ICOs and scams, your penalty might be relatively lenient. Wishing you the best of luck, tvplus and may you continue doing your work!

I’m pretty sure that would be considered “ban evading”; banned users can create ONE appeal thread and only post on that thread. Having a discussion somewhere else isn’t allowed.
Nah, it would not. Another thread generated by community,  not by banned user. Forum allow you to create a thread by supporting a person if you think that any person deserve unban or temp ban.

If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.
If the banned user (OP) posts in the other thread. That’s what I meant. Obviously it wouldn’t be ban evasion if someone else created an appeal for you. lol

That means you are allow to open a thread which will not consider ban evasion.


However, I am still curious to know the reason of ban. What was the exact post that OP got ban. Hope moderators will let us know.

Although OP were banned for valid reason, I think he deserve second chance by considering his contribution for forum. Signature & temp ban would be appropriate.
