Copy pasting, take a look at this:

Snip

If you're into bitcoin only for the short term gain, then you might end up like my friends who up til now are disappointed at the price! But I think that it is never too late to buy bitcoin and that it'll soon recover and break it's most recent high. And when it does, I suppose my friends would celebrate their gains and you would too, if you decide to buy some bitcoin now. The price is still moving down... some say it'll hit $1000. I can't read charts the way more seasoned bitcoin traders do. But if you feel like buying at this point, and you've got your emotions under control, then give it a go and get yourself some  ;)

Thanks for the answer rickbig

indeed its a copy paste
i shared the same opinion with the original writer, that's the reason i did it
i cannot remember, but i have to say that i may did it once more

of course i hadn't read the rules before, i wouldn't risk of banning the account because of a silly action.
now, i did read the rules for sure...!

as u can see faliro profile is active, especially in the greek community, giving a lot of help for new members, posting original messages and participating also in the translating section of Greek language. (some ANN translation's are still pending...)

faliro's activity number has also the highest number that it could have

as you can understand, i am trying to point out that the copy-paste thing was a true mistake by my side and if you can make an exception it won't happen again, it's not a spamming account for sure

i am totally frustrated about this situation and i would appreciate if your team will reconsider my case

thanks again

Should not have happened in the first place. Do you really need a rule set in stone to start considering the fact that you're not allowed to plagiarize content online? Where is the basic logic?

If your case is reconsidered then it creates a precedent which will lead to more bs threads. It won't be.

actmyname, you are a registered user since 2015 and as it seems you have a high grade of knowledge and experience of how this forum works. This is why you gave me this answer.

If you were a younger member like me (joined in the first month of 2017), I am guessing that you wouldn't have thought for writing this reply at all.
We are people not gods, people are making mistakes
I didn't spam, neither scammed other members like many are doing, creating new accounts every day. There are so many reasons of having an account blocked for ever.

To answer your questions,
The main subject of this forum is crypto currencies, we are not writing poems or reinventing the wheel so someone can "plagiarize content online". With a simple search inside the forum you are going to find a countless number of posts having the same meaning. I read the post, liked it, shared the same thoughts and just made the mistake of copying the exact words... This is the logic

Forthwith, thank you for posting regarding my matter

You didn't take time to read the rules and broke them. Copy/Paste offenders have been banned for quite some time and pleading ignorance at this stage is quite laughable. I find it odd  ::) you never visited Meta and saw the myriads of pleas from offenders such as yourself but run straight to Meta with pleas of ignorance and ask for mercy; "give me one more chance."
Live with the consequences.

Is this how someone publishes content outside of online forums? Do they simply 'share the same thoughts and make the mistake of copying the exact words'? You intentionally broke it apart as well to try and make it seem like it was different from the original post. Age in terms of the forum is completely irrelevant. I'm sure that at a young age most children were taught that stealing was bad. Stealing intellectual property, or copying content is the same. This is reinforced in modern academia so I'm not sure how you managed to think that it was fine to copy & paste.

You are crossing the line and not been respectful!

Ok, you gathered two posts for your signature, great job!

Please don't post again on my thread
