Title: WHY WAS MY FRIEND BANNED?
Post by: blockchain12333 on September 24, 2018, 10:45:15 AM
A friend of mine,who is a jr. member here was banned few hours ago.I am very new here and it is taking quite a lot of time to make the sense of forum. He was the one I looked up to and now he is banned.Also,there was no reason given for ban.Can you specify the reason for the ban because this is very confusing situation even if its his fault!
It says
"Sorry rnssol, 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"

Thanks a bunch!

This is your friend? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2242586

I am just wondering if he was caught in doing plagiarism? In most of the cases - the ban happens for plagiarism.

Why isn't he here to fight his own case? He is allowed to post in the meta section to speak for himself.

Although, if it is indeed plagiarism, there is nothing he can do. Plagiarism brings a permanent ban for life.

There you go!

Tell your friend that justice has been served. Since you are new to the forum, take this as an example and do not do plagiarism ever or you will have the same fate like your friend.

PS: A ban account is not allowed to create another account meaning if you ever caught on plagiarism then you can not create anymore accounts with bitcoinTalk.

PPS: I am guessing your friend is your friend not you.

Ok well thankyou!
Maybe he forgot to mention the link or whatever,idk.
So is he banned FOREVER?
And do the appeal actually works?
Also,I think there should be a warning before such a ban!

He was given merit just few days before,when the new merit system was introduced!
That means he must have done some useful posts ?
Everybody does one or two mistakes in their life.
Don't you think this is too hard,also everyone should be given chance to explain themselves
Justice can never be served ,if it does not give other person chance to explain.
Thankyou tho.

So let him plead his case.  Why are you posting for him?

Because I feel bad for him? I have seen putting him effort in his account. One or few posts don't make a person who is. And more often than not,he did post links when he took help.

And he doesn't care about his account?  Seems odd he would let you shill for him while he stays silent on the matter.

Anyway, you've been given your answer.  You can lock this thread at the lower left.

The irony, he got his only merit two days before new rank requirements being announced. A lot of demoted users hit panic mode and start posting copied posts, as if it's the only way you can earn a damn merit.

You may be right that "Everybody does one or two mistakes in their life".
But, this forum has clearly stated about the prohibition and rules as shown in this link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036308.0.
In that link has been clearly stated by theymos that there are some rule violations that will lead you to be banned.
Theymos and its administrator already told us about these as part of https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036308.0

"Common rule violations

These are the most common rule violations that newbies make. There are other rules than these.

Plagiarism: If you copy some text from somewhere, then you should have a good reason for it, and you must link to the source. Doing otherwise is plagiarism. Changing a few words around doesn't matter. If we find that you plagiarized, then you absolutely will be permanently banned, even if we find it years after you did it.
Multi-posting: Do not post twice in a row in a topic. Instead, edit your old post.
Low-content posts: Do not post low-content garbage like "agreed!", "nice project!", etc. You can be banned for this, and it's also pointless if you want to increase your rank, since you will never get merit for such posts."

From the statement above, it is clear that everyone that does plagiarism will be absolutely permanently banned.

I know that your friend may have tried very well for this forum and he got merit. But, I'm sure that many newbies here also do the same. We are also doing our best to make a qualified posting to get at least one merit.
But, fault is a fault. And as the consequence of the fault, we must be ready for the consequences after doing that fault. It is better for us to take this as the lesson.
