Bitcoin Forum

This morning, when I opened the forum, I was very upset to see the cool inscription that my account was blocked for spam or plagiarism. I never dealt with plagiarism, so I suspect that I got a ban for spamming.
But it is difficult to call it spam as I have only published reports for social networks in bounty topics for quite a long time.

Link to the profile of the banned account - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=939701
User Name - Opium

I understand that I did not bring any benefits for the forum, but also no damage. Who or what could I harm by publishing reports on bounty topics?

I also understand that unlocking my account is unlikely, but I had to try.
Dear moderators and administrators of the forum, please, overestimate the ban of my account.
I wish you all good.)

This makes no sense!!! I am 300% sure that even 2 years ago I was not engaged in plagiarism.

Do you know these users?

No, none of this list is unfamiliar to me.
Except "opium", of course.

Things start to make no sense when we try to be innocent but the wrongs things we've done are dug up.  ::)


Which means you are familiar with all of them.  ::) You wanted to lie but your words deceived you, and you said the truth though unknowingly.

I am not lying!
I am telling the truth. None of these accounts make any sense to me. I have never been engaged in multi-breeding.
THIS IS NOT MY ACCOUNTS!
Ready to provide any evidence.
Maybe someone tried to set me up? I remember several times I received a small part of ETH to my wallet, and did not understand where and why it came from.

This transaction was not. You can check it yourself ...

Life is not fair, opium3. Even if you’re saying the truth and have done many good things in this forum, when you break any rules it will be remembered. Your next action will outline your future. Life is unfair, but, you still need to move on. Yeah, I know, I’m just saying these because I’m not in your situation, you can start a new beautiful beginning here, my friend.

You are remembered for the rules you break. - Douglas MacArthur

See you around.

I agree that 3 purses from the list provided by the guy who is trying to accuse me of connecting 7 accounts are mine. But the rest is no. And, by the way, the transaction circled in the red on the screen does not exist. You can see for yourself.

So which is it? You're not lying or 3 accounts are yours? 1st it was I have not copied or plagiarized anyone, then proof is shown multiple times. Then accounts are listed that you deny connection with and now are claiming 3 of them.

We do not need your type here if you cannot come forth and tell the truth from the get go. Is this how you get through life? Just lie your way through it?

opium3, if you keep doing these stuff and then admit something that is connected to you will surely not help. You can just move on and lock this topic.

Yes, you figure it out first, then blame me. I said that 3 purses from the list are mine !!!
And these 3 wallets were always used by the same account. This account is "opium"

Did you watch the picture that I showed ???
And then go to my wallet, and find this transfer!
Found ??? Not found, because it is not.
So what is it then ???

1- your account(s) is(are) not tagged from any DT for abusing bounties, the post was made to report suspected transactions between account. Did anyone tagged you? No.

2- you are not be banned for cheating bounties, none will be banned for this. Sadly.

3- you are permabanned for plagiarism, even if you keep saying you did nothing wrong.

So for your information, the problem is not the suspicious abusing but your plagiarism.

There are unedited posts proving otherwise. Lock the thread and move on, you can't win this.

I understand, everyone thinks that I am another balabol. But I am telling the truth, I have never copied other people's messages since the creation of the "opium" account. I understand that the second message in this topic proves the opposite, but how the hell can it be possible ???

question to you, you provided a screen with a transfer of 0.01 ETH to my wallet.
But this transaction (even this block) is not in my wallet. How can you comment on this?

Using pilot(bot) for signature campaign posts?

You don't need to question anything about connected accounts, your case is plagiarism.

I'm still interested. Where does this screen come from? Photoshop? What for???

No, never used bots. Always wrote everything himself.
Can you tell me how to look when the message was edited and was it edited at all?

I was always sure that I would not get banned, especially for plagiarism. It's just some kind of garbage.

Nice bot, doing everything by himself.

Lock this topic

Good. Let's suppose that theoretically yes, there was plagiarism (although I still did not do this). But he was 2 years old.
2 years ago.
The rules were edited last time on December 27, 2018.
Maybe at the time when plagiarism was published this was not in the rules?

What do you think about this ??
I understand that you all do not care about users like me. But still...

There is this one case I recall (June 2018), where a person was framed and reported for plagiarism (see  vulnerability of the forum. slander in plagiarism  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4601461.msg41531535#msg41531535)). @Theymos and some other mods reviewed the case and the account was unbanned. It is nevertheless an extremely well argument case and an exception to what we usually see here where the starting point is that of having no clue to what happened to their account.

I know it doesn't sounds fair to be banned for something that happens so long ago but I can assure you that the plagiarism has always been in the rules no matter the last edits+ those were done mostly to correct errors or update according to the last changes in the forum.

On the other hand. We have multiple hard evidence against your word. How can we trust you? We just can't. I'm so sorry but you have to leave the forum, until you pull the same hard evidence to show that we are wrong.

In October 2017, there were already topics in the same kind as yours: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2296660.0.
And the answers were the same as today.

Plagiarism from the last year.

Successful appeals were actually, but one of the acquitted users ruined all things. Read on this page (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5076021.msg48269635#msg48269635).

Was done a long time ago I don't remember how but

1- can be a mistake

2- from a quick search

Anyway I repeat, nobody tagged you and this is not the reason for yot ban.

Two year should be sufficient history in my opinion. Going further back seems a bit far stretched, and people are entitled to change. But it's not how it currently stands.

Nevertheless,  rule number 33 related to plagiarism was around on the 21/11/2016 (see https://web.archive.org/web/20161121133329/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0), but not on the 06/05/2016 (see https://web.archive.org/web/20160506061123/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0). The former date means that the rule was in state at the time you broke it…

I think that you're wasting our time. The "I didn't do it but even if I did it's not a big deal" defense is not going to work. The rule has been there for more than two years: https://archive.fo/MRmXq#selection-746.175-746.177

What's next? "I was hacked"? "I was drunk"?

The only thing that can still happen here if you keep pushing your luck is that more proof of your sockpuppeting will come up and you'll lose those alts too.

Does this mean that users with plagiarism before 21/11/2016 should not get banned?

Not. Nothing like this will happen, you can be calm.
But I would like to ask you: what do you mean by the expression "you will lose your violas too"?

Well it raises a fair question.
The rule was added somewhere between the 06/05/2016 and the 21/11/2016 (I haven’t seen any other historical snapshots in between to narrow it down any further). It’s over two years, but the rules are the official unofficial rules, and not a set of common law articles which normally are not retroactive. By that, I guess that cases are really down to admin/mod best judgment, and they may or may not consider the date as a factor when presented with a case of plagiarism that occurred before mid-2016.

Are there any other posts that were plagiarized? In addition to these 4 that you have already published in this thread.

violas? :)

Again with the "I didn't do it but in case I did" nonsense... your alts will be banned too. You can't use another account once you've been banned, except for the appeal thread. You really should read the rules.


Yes. Doesn't change anything though.

A single plagiarized post is sufficient to get yourself banned. But since you are so curious, here's another example:

Okay guys. Got it. I apologize for your time spent.
You can delete / close the topic.
All the best.
