Title: Reported a topic, but was mistaken
Post by: eternalgloom on January 08, 2018, 06:26:17 PM
I had reported this thread for copy/paste, but it appears that the OP was actually the author of the article in question.
Topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2684165.new#new

Original article: https://medium.com/@totlecrypto/why-having-a-wallet-where-you-own-your-private-keys-is-essential-519d9a374d8c

I'm pretty sure he acted in good faith and just forgot to add the source, I did reply to the thread that he should have added a link to the article.

I'd hate to see him get banned because of my mistake, so I'm just publicly sharing the mistake I've made.
I'm very sorry about this :-/

It is more likely that your report is going to be flagged as Bad and that is it. This is due to:

Yeah, I asked him in the thread to add the link so it would be clear that he was the author. He edited the post after that ;)
My accuracy dropped by 1%, so seems like it's fine. In this case I'm actually glad my accuracy dropped :)

Thanks!

OP, you've written the exact same article on Medium, you have to be careful with just copy pasting it here. In this case, I don't think you did it with bad intent, since you are the original author.
You should at least add the source and make sure you do add some original comments in the original post.

Yes I did repost this original article we wrote in both places, didn't think that was much of an issue but I like your advice and will follow for next time!

Just edit this post and add the link to the article, also mention that you're the author ;)
In case a mod sees this and thinks you're spamming

Updated! Thanks buddy!

He isn't banned. Someone marked the report as bad.
