Hello, dear administration of bitcointalk.org ! Why was my account banned ?

"Sorry Sam67, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.
You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com"

My account - Sam67 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1076079

I did not violate any rules and did not insult anyone on the forum. I received no complaints from anyone. Tell me, please, why my account is blocked ? Please unblock my account.

Help, please, unlock my account - I did not insult anyone and did not violate any rules.

I wrote to the administrator mprep and received an answer - "No idea why he was banned. The admins, theymos or Cyrus, might have more info."

Who can help me ?

You copy pasted someone else's post:

User Profile :  Sam67  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1076079)
Topic/Archive link: http://archive.is/i2rpg
Original source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1381323.11000

Quite by chance I read one post and I thought I've seen it somewhere.In the end, I found that it was my post a few months ago-it is reported to moderator few days ago,but I see that user is still active and without any punishment.

I did not violate any rules and did not insult anyone on the forum.
You did:

33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.[e]

33. This includes both copying parts or the entirety of other users' posts or threads and copying content from external sources (e.g. other websites) and passing it as your own.

Please unblock my account.
It won't happen (you've been permanently banned from this forum).

I took part in the signature company and really copied this post. I admit my guilt. But why immediately I was given a permanent ban without warning. Why not for a week or a month and immediately for good without warning?

Even out of Bitcointalk rules, plagiarism is a serious crime. It's a common "legal" knowledge.
In some cases, you might go to jail when caught copy-pasting articles by some over-the-top serious professionals or corporation.

Luckily, Bitcointalk has been lightly punishing users for doing that actcrime.
Pick one: A Permanent Ban or Something else?

P.S. "Banneded",   :-X

Sorry SpeedShift but you cannot recover your account, Copy pasting or Plagiarism was strictly prohibited in this site. Try to read the #33 on this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

I was not so sure if you will be contented on that, but hopefully I can answer your question clearly. In addition as far as I know there's no warning to copy paste post it was automatically banned not like off-topic post that there's a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th offense before it was totally banned.

You can promote ponzis, spread trojan, sell accounts, insult people, scam, gamble, sex, drugs, rock'n'roll and you'll get a red trust at worst. But fuck no, you do not steal content. (includes copy/pasting articles like you were the original author)

If you steal, you'll get suspendeded. Not a warning, not a question. Just a kick in the butt without even a goodbye.

edit: don't do trojans. don't do any of those i mentioned above anyway. (sex&rock is ok)  8)

You should read rules and do not copy/paste other users post-in this case my post.The way you did it suggests you knew exactly what you were doing,you did it quickly(even left out first letter of post),and you copy only part of the post probably think it will remain unnoticed like that.

Unfortunately for you I have noticed the post because what is written in post was actual in February,and posting something like this in March/April makes no sense.

If you ask why perma ban and not warning,it is in forum rules//I suggest you read them to avoid some other unpleasant situations in the future.

People who spread trojans will be banned if reported.

To the regret, I did not know that punishment is so severe as a permanent ban - otherwise I would not do it

Pleading ignorance won't get you anywhere. Accounts getting banned for this very thing are plastered all over the forum.
