Title: An unfair treatment of Bitcointalk moderators
Post by: Trybada1 on July 30, 2020, 12:37:56 PM
Mistakes are common in this life, and we all make mistakes at one point or the other in our lives. I am writing this on behalf of my friend who has opened up to like 4 accounts and all has been banned, he even paid for like 2 of them for upgrade. Yet it was blocked at the slightest error. It is now safe to conclude that the admins of this forum want to make this a money making venture, looking for every excuse to ban people without a fair warning.
He told me the post that was claimed to have been erred has been deleted, isn't that enough punishment? Then the account got banned permanently, up to 4 accounts, there's no hope when one appeals, i am appealing to the moderator responsible to please unban my friends account @da_primate(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=947001;sa=summary).

He promised to abide by the rules of the forum to the letters going forward.

Your friend already has 50 posts he should already know how members are behaving or how members are posting but based on what I've seen on your friends post, all the posts are either bounty posts or spam,after 50 posts he finally realized that this forum has a rule about spamming, your friend did not even read one rule of this forum, he deserves to be ban.

Yes, we are treated very unfairly. Your friend should probably read the rules if he keeps getting banned. It looks like that account was banned for copy and pasting at least:

Da_Primate (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=947001)

Professional wrestling is a form of theatrical entertainment and performance art wherein athletic performers play prize fighters competing in choreographed matches with predetermined, scripted outcomes. The choreographed combat is based on classical and "catch" wrestling, with modern additions of striking attacks, acrobatics, feats of strength, fast-moving athleticism and occasionally, improvised weaponry. The performances are all planned (if not rigidly choreographed) to maximize the entertainment value to the audience, and reduce the chances of the performers suffering real-life injuries. Professional wrestling also liberally incorporates melodrama. Much like some of the real prizefighters they imitate, the characters in professional wrestling have large egos, flamboyant personalities (often attached to a gimmick), and turbulent interpersonal relationships. These personas are generally scripted, the same as the matches. Performances mainly take place in a ring similar to the kind used in boxing (a sort of theater in the round).

Your so-called friend was of the "bitcoin has a bright future" class of shitposters:

With crypto, the future is bright.

That leads me to the obvious conclusion that he was only here to use the forum as a place of employment, to make money, which is exactly what you've accused the forum of doing.  Bit hypocritical, wouldn't you say?  It's also wrong, since forum moderators don't ban members to make a profit for anyone--not themselves and not the forum in general.  Too bad your "friend" got burned with the accounts he bought, but them's the brakes.  No loss to the rest of us.

Probably more of his accounts might be banned in the future as well, because once you are banned then you are banned from bitcointalk forever.You might had a chance if you are an old member and had contributed more towards this forum's development but new account has zero chance.

If I were a mod, I'd add "no whining" to the list of forum lines, and you'd have been banned after only one post.

"My friend blah blah..."

The French say: "Il ne faut pas prendre les gens pour des cons". It's not the content of your post that offends me, it's the fact that you take all the rest of us for dumb shitheads.

that "slightest error" you mentioned, other than it, being against the rules, it is also is frowned upon in this forum and has banned hundreds maybe thousand of accounts so why is it unfair when the account of your "friend" get banned?

It is now safe to conclude that the admins of this forum want to make this a money making venture, looking for every excuse to ban people without a fair warning.

what do you mean no fair warning? these threads exist to warn and inform newbies on what to do and not to do in the forum.

He had 4 banned accounts and you are a newbie. Hm. Smells fishy. Maybe, he is not your friend. Maybe, you are an alt of that 4 accounts.

How do you say a fair treatment, if your friend himself broke the rules of the forum? Ban evasion is highly forbidden in this forum. If he tried to spam the forum by his own alts, he should be punished according to rules.

We don't want it to happen to your (friend). But being rude to spammer is good than letting them throw garbage posts in this forum.

Bruh, upgrading the status of your account doesn't make you able to lord over mistakes. There were benefits provided to you when you paid to upgrade your account, so you can't really use that as an excuse to plead for forgiveness. That's like asking for forgiveness in the court because you pay taxes. Now doesn't that sound ridiculous? You sound the same tbh. He had 4 accounts, which should be more than enough time for him to understand the rules and regulations of the forum. It's not like you get banned suddenly without reason. Heck, this just makes us question your "friends" capabilities, since he had full capability to plagiarize, yet zero capability on reading rules and understanding them?

I'd say it's fair. A rule is a rule. You're right everyone gets a second chance but those 4 accounts are probably all the same account owner shit posting. That's 4 chances already! what are you talking about. Even if you're a copper member, you don't get special treatment here.

Yeah! You're correct on that part and I also believe that it was a natural phenomenon. However, making this as an excuse or a sort of encouragement to feel them guilty for what your friend did here won't work. Rules are rules, he hould take the punishment for violating it. As simple as that. I'm not getting pessimistic but it's better for you to give up on him already simply because mods' decision is always final and irrevocable.

He had 4 banned accounts and you are a newbie. Hm. Smells fishy. Maybe, he is not your friend. Maybe, you are an alt of that 4 accounts.
Lol, let's give him the benefit of the doubt for now :D  Maybe he is his real friend and just concerned on the situation. Creating a new accoun by just raising a voice is not a new thing here.

The accounts are banned for the reason already explained but i will like to highlight a point here. If your friend paid two of your accounts for copper membership, this does not mean that he has any special privilege to not to abide by the forum rules. You will still be treated as a normal member of the forum.

You can pay a one-time fee in order to increase the capabilities of your account. Be warned that:

You can still be banned if you break the rules. You will not get any special treatment.

The way you are appealing so desperately, it seems you are another alt account of those whom accounts are banned and friend is only a drama here.

Yes, we are treated very unfairly. Your friend should probably read the rules if he keeps getting banned. It looks like that account was banned for copy and pasting at least:

People need to understand that plagiarism is not a simple mistake, its a crime.

Moderators are just doing what they should do to prevent the increasing number of users who are only posting for the sake of money.

Most of the users are not prioritizing the real purpose of this forum where we should focus on making quality and informative posts or replies and make good discussions.

This should serve as a lesson to anyone who are making shitposts just to earn money with their nonsense replies.

Your friend already has 50 posts he should already know how members are behaving or how members are posting but based on what I've seen on your friends post, all the posts are either bounty posts or spam,after 50 posts he finally realized that this forum has a rule about spamming, your friend did not even read one rule of this forum, he deserves to be ban.

In that 50 posts, he didn't even realize that spamming is prohibited maybe it's too late for him to change the way he posts. It is your friend's loss especially that he even spent his money for an account that wasn't properly managed.

I am assuming that accounts weren't of your friends. Forum admin/moderators banning you (the person), not limited to your account. That means even you create a thousand accounts then all accounts will ban if you are evading a ban. Creation multiple accounts isn't the reason for your ban, seems you (or your friend) copy paste post from other sources as @hilariousandco already pointed out. So it wouldn't be a mistake since you are consciously copying and pasting other's posts. This is a nonprofit forum, so no one forcing you to join here and pay the fee. It's a crypto-currency discussion community & gain knowledge about it. So blaming the admin is quite ridiculous.

You have been banned for plagiarism. Do not you think plagiarism is also a crime in real life? If you even did not real the rules at all, you should know that plagiarism isn't a good behavior and you should not do that.
Actually, I mean your friend by the word "you".

We don't see that it was on behalf of your friend. If it was so, shouldn't you be not a newbie here? I mean such reasoning could still point that you are that "friend" that were banned and just posted such thread for what purpose? Un-ban a shitposter that most of his post only is a one-liner and even had many of them on off-topic section? Dude this isn't a twitter thing that you could post as shorter as you want. Yes he had freedom, but making 4 accounts with the same points of unnecessary short posts would be enough reason to be banned. Also, with your newbie account "protecting" your friend is also a mere point that he is evading his ban.

Not to hate, but there's no unfair treatment for over the years until you voice out the impossible.

This account has not only plagiarism but also previously banned profiles. Very often people like him like to blame the whole world for their failure. Everyone around them is guilty and angry for them. If someone finds “accidental” plagiarism, in his opinion, he should immediately warn him. Very funny.
In addition to plagiarism, YOSHIE found other banned alternative profiles (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.msg54872123#msg54872123) . Therefore, everything that this pathetic character writes is a lie, from start to finish.

So you all are justifying the fact that he was banned without a sort of warning? He agreed, he might have broken a rule, but is deleting the post or reducing rank not better than outright ban.

He creates great contents, he isn't using this for as a source of income as assumed by many, he just come here to seek knowledge and educate people. please can you forgive and just lift the ban. deranking is better than outright ban. He should be monitored for a while to ensure he stick to the rules. Its his love for the forum that makes him come here all the time, and even invite friends to the forum.

He educates people and taught them one of the most important lessons they could learn on this forum: plagiarists and ban-evaders get banned permanently.

For that lesson, we are eternally grateful to him.

Let us educate you, too: no matter how much you write and beg on this thread about "your Friend, the Great Content Creator", his bans will not be lifted. That's the definition of "permanently".

Nope, but I've repeated myself very often - to people like you, among others. That doesn't count as plagiarism, though! :D

You would indeed not be the first one to state that I'm a Saint (the second one, actually. My mother believes so, too) and when you'll meet Charon, just before crossing the Styx, you'll be very thankful for having recognized my holiness as a fact indeed.

Now, whilst writing this reply, I realized I had a life somewhere. You'll please excuse me for going to search for and continue it.

The account has already a copper membership according to our forum rules even you already bought this membership you cannot avoid the rules still you do not have any special treatment you are treated only as a member rank.

Also, the account already given has a 50 post only and those threads do not to information also it looks like not reach the average of 150 symbols.

Also, there is too much suspicious when a statement uses "a friend" on it's every statement. Looks like something fishy. Also against the rule, if you have a banned account then create a new one.

I personally think the changes to moderation and DT over the last few years have been a total fail. This place has turned into the Wild West of immature children in positions of influence chasing away any talent that comes here. If the goal is to get views, sure, the drama is fun. If the goal is to have a place where Bitcoin development is encouraged then i don’t see how anyone could think the last few years have included any positive developments. Can anyone point to a project here that is visible on the blockchain other than coin mixers and gambling sites? It’s actually a disgrace...

Something's fishy for real with the OP lol if ever my account would be banned I will not let my friend defend for me, some reality scared, why not just create a new account and appeal to the moderators?

And as a new member of the forum you should abide the rules, and be very wary of it coz you might just step on a land mine causing to be banned just like your "friend"

OP's account was created in May, all of his post was dated from the time the thread was made. Don't need to give a call on this one.  :-X

Moreover, the account was created in May 2019. ;D  Good point, Sanugarid.
I think, this is just a part of the farm that @da_primate owns.
Surely he is offended that the Cooper member he bought was banned so quickly. And now he is defending his money spent.
I often meet Copper Members who previously violated the forum rules. I think they are counting on some privileges from the forum if they spend some small amount. Something like an indulgence. Therefore, there is so much drama.

So you all are justifying the fact that he was banned without a sort of warning? He agreed, he might have broken a rule, but is deleting the post or reducing rank not better than outright ban.

He creates great contents, he isn't using this for as a source of income as assumed by many, he just come here to seek knowledge and educate people. please can you forgive and just lift the ban. deranking is better than outright ban. He should be monitored for a while to ensure he stick to the rules. Its his love for the forum that makes him come here all the time, and even invite friends to the forum.
Here in bitcointalk that is how plagiarism were treated which maybe unfair but that the rule and you/we can't do anything about that.If you don't like the forums rules then you have lot other forums to discuss the things as well.

I don't think that plagiarism is treated unfair on this forum. There is zero tolerance for the plagiarism in bitcointalk and this is how it should be. If anyone can't write his own posts and need to copy/paste , he don't deserve to be here.
There are some exception in plagiarism cases as well, last year many reputed members got signature banned for a year or two for plagiarising years before but they have been given a chances after considering their contribution makes worthy to have them here.
God bless you for this statement , if there's a temporary ban or de-ranking , it will be fair atleast

For the admins to consider unbanning your friend he has to present his case in a new forum thread. In it he should explain why he has been good to this forum overall and in what ways he has improved it. Members can get unbanned if bringing them back can positively affect the forum.

Do you think that is the case with your friend? From what I can see he is a bounty hunter, posts one-liners, and was very active in the off-topic section.
I think there is no chance for him to be forgiven. Give it a try if you think otherwise.

demotion of rank might be an answer but how do we count it? I mean we need a new system for that, more likely a strike system where a member only got a number of 'life' in his rank to get demoted.

There's no way he's going to be unbanned, his case was plagiarism and spamming, we already get rid of these people about a couple of year ago. Just so negative for me.  :-\

Your wisdom is very archaic and its obvious you're myopic, for you and others like you to jump to the conclusion. it's all enjoy your ego boost

I don't think such a new system is needed. We already have a good system in place it is just not being used properly and doesn't apply to everyone in the same way. A signature ban is enough punishment for someone who plagiarized to reach his weekly quota in a signature campaign. Introducing new things wont change anything, nor will it create any fear not to plagiarize.
