I'm not complaning about it if I did something wrong but I thought bitcoins giveaways were allowed according to

Quote

15. No on-forum altcoin giveaways. [6][e]

Games and rounds (child board of Gambling) - "Spreadsheet games, forum-based games, and discussion of individual rounds/games on other sites." All Bitcoin giveaways, raffles, contests also go here.


So, in the end Bitcoins giveaways are allowed or not cause I see a lot of them and the rule if I don't miss something is only for altcoins.

Yup, Bitcoin giveaway were allowed, only the altcoins giveaway are not. I'll send mprep a PM as I think he is the one who issued the banned based on here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234398.msg54071041#msg54071041).

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234398.msg54071041#msg54071041 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234398.msg54071041#msg54071041) and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234398.msg54070971#msg54070971 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234398.msg54070971#msg54070971).

I've excluded all users who only participated in the giveaway while Bitcoin was being given away. You were not one of those users.

Coin of the week giveaways
6.1. - 12.1.2020: Litecoin - 1 LTC
13.1. - 19.1.2020: TRON - 2,000 TRX
20.1. - 26.1.2020: Ethereum - 0.25 ETH
27.1. - 31.1.2020: Bitcoin - 0.0050 BTC

Well just saw it.

My Bitcasino.io username is Locketto and I'm never lucky  ;D

You did participate in the Bitcoin giveaway as well, though that doesn't really matter much considering your other entry. The aforementioned entry during the Bitcoin week:

My Bitcasino.io username is Locketto and this is the last chance :o

Well, you must bro. Dont lose hope, that was just 7 days.
A forum member like you must stay in the forum. You have contributed a lot here.
I hope you are okay on this pandemic, just stay at home and be a safe man. We will miss you, promise!

it seems that theymos decided to remove the 7-day ban since it was an understandable confusion.

I decided to end these 7-day bans early. Altcoin giveaways involving incentivized posting are not allowed anywhere on the forum, but certain incentivized-posting games (not altcoin giveaways) are allowed in Games & Rounds. The topic was incorrectly posted in Games & Rounds, possibly causing some understandable confusion among participants.

Allow me to quote you:
You are completely free to appeal it to theymos though, who can then decide whether the ban should be lifted either due you not breaking the forum's rules (and my interpretation of them being wrong) or if he decides that due to your contributions / history / etc. a ban isn't needed (since I'm not the policy maker on Bitcointalk, I don't feel comfortable making that decision).
~snip~
The (now trashed) thread in question was reported by a user. I've trashed the linked thread as well. Will wait on issuing bans until this situation gets resolved.
I thought the second part meant waiting for theymos' verdict, which is this:

Does that mean coinlocket$ and others are unbanned already too? Or does it not apply to that thread?

I mainly feel for good users, many of them in lockdown, who can't use their (or at least that's how I see it) favourite forum for a week. Especially during the times we're glued to our homes.

Here,
Since I can post only on this thread, as this user said

There were two altcoin giveaways in games and round.
Participants of both of them got banned.

http://loyce.club/archive/topics/521/5215256.html

As Stedsm is in the second list, I guess theymos only has unbanned users of the first list.

Some users has be unbanned and Others not.
Never Lucky





Like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234779.msg54090362#msg54090362 has been unbanned even if he joined earlier (random user, 1st found many Others has been released

From https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235207.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235207.0):

I assume theymos is not aware of the bans for participants in the second giveaway thread. I've already messaged him about it - might take a bit of time before he gets back online.

I've waited for a few days and issued the bans earlier today, since the bans weren't reversed at that point in time and the few that created appeal threads seem to have decided to wait the ban out. Guess my timing was a bit off.

You must rest in the next 7 days, turn off your computer and calm your mind.
Everyone will stay alive if they follow the rules given, stay at home and don't try to go out if it's not important.

Banned 7 days will be very beneficial for you, eat lots of vegetables and fruits.

mpreppy originally wanted 14 days but after seeing all the potential victims, he relented and went with 7.

They can regain all the vitamins in the fruit kingdom but never vitamin BTC though :D

Have you read the situation about unbans before even post here?
Why do you even posts about "follow the rules" while your post history is full of posts against the rules.

Next time post something relevant or don't even bother to post your nonsense personal attack, ty.

Half of bans has been removed by Theymos.
There was 2 thread and seems only the people only from 1 has been removed.

Oh, I didn't realize theymos was involved in the matter.

Still, I really feel the collective ban was totally unjustified since its not like you guys willingly walk straight into the banhammer.

If it wasn't for this incident, I wouldn't even be aware altcoin giveaways are bannable.

I don't feel like attacking you personally. I only give motivation and advice to you. Is it wrong?
I give relevant comments according to your words that I quote.

Don't be too emotional in responding to other people's comments, this is a forum that has freedom of opinion.
