Title: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: rwishmila on September 03, 2022, 02:08:09 PM My friend's account has been banned for seven days since he commented on an altcoin giveaway without knowing that it goes against the rules. He now is aware of his mistake, and it won't happen again. By today, the seven (7) days are over, but he is still banned.

Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: Lucius on September 03, 2022, 02:24:27 PM BPIP (https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3337887) doesn't show a permanent ban, but that doesn't mean that your friend hasn't been banned for more than 7 days or that there are still a few hours left until the end of those 7 days. I suggest a little more patience, and until then, maybe one of the forum staff will give a better explanation of the situation.

Can you provide screenshot of the ban note on the account as proof that the punishment duration is just 7 days? And also maybe the timezone difference is what makes the duration a bit longer. Just wait a couple of hours and days before the ban punishment is lifted since this IIRC automated base on the time of the ban punishment. There’s no reason to be worried for your account if it’s not permaban because the mods will surely unban it incase the punishment didn’t lift for more than 7 days. Just gave it a cool down time to take effect.

Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: rwishmila on September 03, 2022, 03:06:45 PM Issue resolved. He'd be more careful I guess. Appreciate your response.
Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: JollyGood on September 03, 2022, 08:16:51 PM If his friend is back spamming various threads and boards then it is highly probable he will not be shown much sympathy if he gets banned again. Maybe the next one will be a permanent ban or a signature ban but he will have nobody but himself to blame.

Here's a little explanation of how the mod gives the user a ban [temporary - permanent]. The OP should know about this, and tell his friend not to post anywhere else with his alt account other than in meta. If his friend ignored him, then it was clear that it was a ban evasion [if catch]. Staff do not want to hand out bans for unconstructive posts but if we feel that you as a user are continually making very poor or unsubstantial posts due to your paid signature the following bans will be issued: First offence: 7 days Second offence: 14 days Third offence: 30 days Fourth: Permanent ban Your first ban is your first warning. If you have to be banned for a fourth time it is permanent and you will no longer be allowed to participate on the forum under any accounts. Note: If you are banned on one account then you are not allowed to post under any accounts you own for the duration of your ban. The only exception to this rule is Meta where you can discuss the circumstances of your ban if you wish to do so but anywhere outside of that sub will be considered ban evasion and will get your ban doubled, but it is generally best to just patiently wait out your ban and improve your posts on return and hopefully no further bans will be needed. Usually temporary bans are shared due to spamming, but I don't see that the user gets more than one post deleted so far on a bpip basis. There must be another reason why it's banned, but spamming is most likely.

Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: Fivestar4everMVP on September 03, 2022, 09:25:34 PM Banned reason: commenting on an on-forum "ATA Lira" altcoin giveaway I have a question which is based on the reason why the user was banned.And question is - was he actually banned for commenting on an altcoin giveaway thread or is there more to it? I am asking because I want understand something, I feel a user can't be banned for ordinarily, commenting on a thread, except such user is spamming and has several of his or her posts reported by other users, then In this case, the reason for the ban shouldn't be because the user commented on a thread, but because he or she was spamming. Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: hosseinimr93 on September 03, 2022, 09:35:02 PM I am asking because I want understand something, I feel a user can't be banned for ordinarily, commenting on a thread, except such user is spamming and has several of his or her posts reported by other users, Making a single post on an altcoin giveaway thread in enough for getting banned. Moderators have deleted only 1 post from the user in question and the ban shouldn't be due to spamming.

Moderators have deleted only 1 post from the user in question and the ban shouldn't be due to spamming. Was the user the one that created the giveaway thread? ~if this be the case, then I understand exactly why he got banned. Or did he just comment on the giveaway thread created by another user? ~if this be the case, then I don't understand why he got banned if his or her comment/post wasn't spammy. The above is where my confusion lies, and I really want to understand so i can know what to tell my newbie friends on the forum on the topic of avoiding a ban. Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: hosseinimr93 on September 03, 2022, 10:19:02 PM OK, Maybe a link to the achieved copy of the post that got the user banned will help me understand better the situation that lead to the user getting banned, because right now, I think am lost.

Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: Bitcoin_Arena on September 03, 2022, 10:37:59 PM Or did he just comment on the giveaway thread created by another user? A user can get a ban for even commenting or replying in a giveaway thread.This is no secret. In case you didn't know, now you know.~if this be the case, then I don't understand why he got banned if his or her comment/post wasn't spammy. The above is where my confusion lies, and I really want to understand so i can know what to tell my newbie friends on the forum on the topic of avoiding a ban. Replying in a giveaway thread means that one is under an incentive to post there hence it still counts as spam. if I create a post asking 100 members to reply and each receiving $10 for replying. According to you, aren't the 100 replies I will get on my thread not considered spam? Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: Fivestar4everMVP on September 03, 2022, 10:51:39 PM Thank you mate for the effort, I very much appreciate it. Now, I totally understand the situation much better. ~Snip~ Yes. That's the case. Click here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2103687.0) to read the rule broken by the user in question. Anyways, thanks for pointing that out to me and also for the reminder. Title: Re: Temporary ban removal appeal Post by: Dunamisx on September 05, 2022, 11:08:44 AM Snipped That's why there have been several occasions members of the forum warn newbies to always read the forum rules before jumping on anything regarding it, in OP case i think he's abit lucky since the ban is temporary but that does not automate the lift within the said time, further investigations may still be ongoing on the user account, he can also try to message the mail written in read on his account as a reminder.

Well, first of all there was no need to appeal to unban the account as it was ban only for 7 days and would have been automatically unban after that time. Good that the account is unban before time but the account in question should be careful as next time the ban will not be of 7 days. It can be of 14 days or permanent if he did not follow the forum rules.

I think the OP is not asking for his friend, but maybe asking for his own account which has been rank up to Jr. member after getting 1 merit. He started his campaign service, so maybe that's why he asked. I'm not accusing, but it seems so. ;) |
