Bitcoin Forum

What to do if your account was temporarily banned? Is there any chance that I can recover it after sending an appeal from this forum? Will the modes mind those complains?

No. If your banned is for 1 week, you will get access after 1 week. You can't get it back earlier.

     If it is temporary ban, you should just wait. You can try to appeal your case if you feel that the reason for your temporary ban is in error. Also, it is important that during your temporary ban that you also do not post with a new account or an alternate account. If you get caught, your temporary ban will transform into a permanent ban.

What if it goes like this "You have been permanently banned by a forum moderator, probably due to spam or plagiarism. You may appeal here, but your chances are not good"  Is there a chance for this? I've read some quotes and allegations about this topic and in my concern that most of this kind of a problem has not yet solved or not given a chance just once, is it easy to be banned without any warnings?

Then, as the message says, it's permanent. There is no warning because you should have read the rules and learned that plagiarizing is not allowed. Btw, plagiarism is illegal/unethical/not cool in every single country in the world. It's not like you should be warned that you shouldn't do it. :)

Well, I guess so, but we are all here to share some information right? What if they layout the topic and make some summarize about it, should we still consider it as a plagiarism?

    As long as people post things with their own words, this forum is cool with that. This forum isn't going to insist on references for everything, like Wikipedia. Although providing links in your posts can make your post even better. This forum does discourage word spinning(changing the order of clauses, replacing a few words with synonyms and/or combining clauses of multiple sources) and can permaban someone for that. Usually the word spinners have just enough of the original text(s) to get caught.

Then you source the info, and if it's not a complete rip off of someone's else content, it's not plagiarism. Simple.

But please don't tell me doing a complete Ctrl C + Ctrl V of someones else post or website and posting here as your own isn't plagiarism. Because that's the only thing that gets people banned.

It's the same, it's not the result of your own thoughts. And some of the point sentences from an article won't be able to change the wording because it is feared that it will deviate from the real meaning. Anything that comes from someone else should you quote or at least contain the source link (if it comes from another site) so that you keep playing safe.

But for some reason I have seen users still get banned even if they provided the link and summarized the post, I guess it really depends on the modes of this forum if they were going to consider the topic as well as the links provided.

As long as you provide the source/reference link from where the data came from it will not be considered as plagiarism. You should state that you summarized it from there.

Could you provide the username or post links of the users you are referring to?

For example this one, the topic was just layout or being summarized I guess just to share a little bit information to other users, the user didn't copy the whole information only just the important information, could it still be plagiarism?

Copy and pasting whole sentences without any reference links is not allowed. You don't need to copy/paste a whole article.

Copying a part or full info is not the issue. The point is he copied the data and didn't provide the source. That's plagiarism.

Could the user got a chance to recover the account? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5092895.0

No. Plagiarism = perma ban. There's no 2nd chance. He's explicitly doing plagiarism, not summarizing other texts. You could avoid that if you read the rules.

Hey Look Approxilite. Your alt account is not going to have its ban lifted. Also, I would advise that you do not post with your other alt accounts either. Here is how I linked your alt account to the banned account that you are so concerned about.

Shall we continue to link all of your alts? I came across some others. However, it's getting late and I'm going to bed.

Never ever can anyone get banned from the forum for plagiarism if you provide the link to the information or the article shared,most times some users instead of just cropping out a little part of the article and then support it with the full link, go ahead to write out the whole article verbatim,but just with a single link at the end, they get saved from the axe
I haven't come across the issue you've mentioned,but if you have, it's best to let us see it, the rules are always available and you can read it up,without having to ask us some unnecessary questions

My bad sorry for doing this kind of things I just really want my account back I know it was a mistake after all but I'm doing my best just to earn some merits.

     Your accounts represent the epitome of what this forum wants to purge with the stringent copy/paste ban. Please don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Definitely you cannot appeal to lift the temporary ban of your account. You were just lucky to get a temp. ban rather than a permanent ban. Just wait for the mean time while your account was being ban. You can use this alt account to discuss cryptocurrency here in the forum.

Approxilite deleted that post LOL

BTW Elexsis is banned too. So if you have other alts in sight please post them here. If mods won't ban I think I'll start red tagging the puppets.

Approxilite is now autobanned as well.   https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=Approxilite



Well a google search of the BTC address found this profile: Yadstiker. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=772546) However, it appears the posts are now deleted.

Reported.

Banning all my accounts is totally unfair for me, I didn't used my alt accounts for any that can cause banned like spamming or plagiarism, I made a mistake for once and why all of my accounts should suffer like this? :'(

That's because you broke the rules and got banned. Again, YOU; and not only that specific account. If all those accounts are owned by you, and you can't use the forum anymore (whether it be with the one who posted the plagiarism or not), there are no reasons to keep them unlocked.

That's all I'm very hopeless right now. Yes, it's totally unfair for me but, that's the rules and regulations here so I guess it's time for me to quit already.
