Bitcoin Forum

I would like to appeal to the honorable moderators gmaxwell and achow101 why they marked my report bad (although I doubt they'll answer me)?

Plagiarism report on this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471024

After all, this guy FbnGbz got scared and edited his post after I posted my plagiarism report here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg63025525#msg63025525

Initially there was no link to the source. You can check it in Ninjastic https://ninjastic.space/post/63025407

I'm not crying over this bad report. I realize that one bad report doesn't mean anything, but excuse me, it's a shame when an obviously correct report is flagged as bad. And the moderators didn't want to look into it, they saw that there was a link to the source (after my report) and just marked the report as bad. It's not right.

I can't just judge everything within my power rather than to say that if a report is marked as bad then we (you) should know that it doesn't reached their evaluation standard as I can believe that before plagiarism can be marked as bad or seen as violation they have to check it properly and if not worth it then they can see it as bad or if the poster later realized and include source link then I don't see any reason to get such person penalized for plagiarism. But well let's see how they justify it from their ends as I believe that the above mentioned body may come to reply here or any other staff. Please note that I am not taking support on any side rather giving my own view based on what you posted.

it's just an assumption but a possible answer might be, is that the OP of that thread was able to prove(which he did) that he is actually the one who created and posted that content on here and on Reddit before the mods were able to check the report you made.

I don't have a Reddit account, I can't check the content of FbnGbZ's post (mature content...) :


but it's obviously the same person.

Technically at first, your report was good, but FbnGbz didn't know the rules about plagiarism. Marking your report as bad is a bit harsh, but a mod doesn't always have time to investigate.
Better to have a bad report than a bad ban.

Afaik, mods don't take into consideration archived versions of the post when deciding about plagiarism (or at least that's what I've been told). That guy made a mistake, probably didn't know about self-plagiarism thing and sorted it out. Case closed.

Here is the post FbnGbz made on Reddit.

None of you have gotten the point of my thread. The only one who understands what I am talking about is Halab.

The thing is, the source link in his post came AFTER I posted my plagiarism report. If I hadn't reported his post, it would have remained without a source link. Therefore, my report should not have been labeled as bad. Here's what I'm saying.

Okay, I get it.

1. The moderator is always right.
2. If the moderator is wrong, see p.1
