Bitcoin Forum

I count it a great privilege to be welcomed back again to the forum, it's been really some years ago now and I've for every seconds appreciated the admin (Cyrus) for bringing this opportunity out to serve as a second chance, I want to say that it's also an avenue for me to sit tight and prove right the good works I've got to offer and contribute to the community.

My Lessons While Away

I've got to see that life is in phases and the more we go the better we see things in their reality, sometimes we try to give even what we don't have, we tend to force it out at all wish but it all seems a failed attempt until we break up the limit to what we can't afford to bear or face the consequences, an express way in life is allowed, but not when a novice driver is over speeding the road, he may landed into a big trouble with accident which I think is one of the reasons that caused by being banned for paraphrasing as a newbie then, though rank or position is never an excuse for breaking the law, that is way we must read and learn them.

My Advice For Newbies and other Members

We are to make use of every opportunity we have wisely, there's an expectation on us when we come to the forum to first go through the guidelines we have here, there are pinned threads, posting styles and guides including the rules and regulations that guides every members of this forum, start by learning something meaningful by yourself and from what others are contributing and from there you begin to experience the evidence of growth before giving out your own.

My Appreciation

I want to use this medium in thanking Cyrus for giving me the approval for a second chance on the forum, honestly I never thought it could be possible neither do I have an expectation on that, but it came in as a surprise anyway, and will never take that for granted, also to all other members of the community, am glad in joining you altogether towards giving the best, thank you all.

I don't see your name in Second chances (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5477510.0).

Only three members got second chances in the list.

If you got the chance, you don't even need to create this thread. Learn, make good posts, contribute to the community and don't repeat your plagiarism. It is enough to show your changes to a better way.

I'm happy to see that Cyrus's that second chance worked pretty well and you're a good example of it. I welcome you to the forum and I hope you'll follow the rules of the forum from now on and try to be a good member of the forum. This forum is just like a 2nd home to us and we are a family and community together.

So, treat it that way and share good information and useful stuff with others. That's the way to go, learn thing in the best way you can and then share your learnings with others so they might get some help from your ideas and opinions. We all are here because we have got some good things because of Bitcoin in our lives and that's why learning about Bitcoin is essential if you really want to do good in this forum.

I wish you best of luck and I hope you'll be a good member of the forum from now on. Thanks to Cyrus for giving chances to those members who get themselves banned due to their own faults. I hope we'll see more such members who get unbanned by availing 2nd chances and some of them might be active and good members of the community. Hope to see that happening.

It's true, he has been unbanned or given a second chance (https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3357576), for sure. Cyrus hasn't yet updated the unban list. If you check his signature space, there is a clue

I think it's okay to make this thread, it's good, he tried to express his gratitude to cyrus. Although it's a little strange because members who are banned give advice to other members. lol

I think, quality posts is relative, but trying to communicate and greet other members is also good because we are discussing with humans, not robots. But if you have a concrete definition of a quality post maybe I'd like to learn from you

He may not have made an update on that yet and i dont think hes the only one to get unbanned after the first three set.

Lol   ;D ;D ;D

It seems you forgot that you were logging in with your alt account to answer posts from BlackBoss_, I saw your unedited post.

Isn't it enough to say thanks in the Cyrus "second chance" thread? Will we all give each other advice whenever we learn an important life lesson?


This is from the edition, how to screw up a new life before it begins

Yep!  It also means he was ban-evading. He created and used the ArikeTobi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3544819) account while the Nathrixxx (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3357576) account was banned.

He has got a 2nd chance so let's forget that he screwed himself up by replying this thread from his alt-account. I think he was given a chance by Cyrus who understands that such users might improve themselves in future.

@OP now it's proven that the other account also belongs to you, why not to give up on it and start using your unbanned original account? You have got a chance and kindly don't take it for granted, just be a good member and make good posts.

His account has been unbanned which gives his alt chance not to be banned.

I also think that forum moderators are not taking ban evasion seriously because if most people that were banned evaded accounts were banned, many useful posters on this forum would have been banned because I think that some people made mistake which became a correction that made them to become later get it right and become strong on this forum.

It is only the ban evasion accounts that are known to other forum users that are reported on this forum but I guess the number of ban evasion are far greater than the ones known because users that are reporting the account can not have access to the IP addresses of people that were banned.

Also that if a an account is banned, it is the user that is banned because the user will keep on making the mistakes that get his account banned. But once he do not get that wrong again, he will see his way through from newbies to legendary easily on this forum.

In the case of Nathrixxx, I think he has the second chance now.

Welcome back and good luck on your second chance and new journey.

If I understand the op correctly, he was initially banned on this forum for paraphrasing, which in other words, we could say he was plagiarizing.
If this is what he meant by being given a second chance, then I think or would assume that he is right afterall, for not all or very many users that was or were banned for the same reason had the opportunity of coming back to this forum with the same account, most of users in that category who are here today simply create a new account and started afresh.

@op, welcome back to the forum, and from all that you have said, I assume you have learnt your lessons from past mistakes, and have well equipped yourself this time to make sure same mistake doesn't happen again.

Welcome back to the forum OP, for you are among the banned account that made Cyrus to gave a second chance to banned account. This should motivate you to improve in your post quality and avoid whatever will lead to such action of yours again, if you know that the forum is a nice place and that you cannot stay a day without login into the forum.

It is like there are some other accounts that were unbanned after those three account that was posted on the second chance thread. I also saw an account from my local board that created a thread about his unbanned account.

Your welcome back thread reminds me of a song by an American rapper Mase titled "Welcome Back". Many people never had a second chance, therefore you are blessed to have this uncommon opportunity. There were about seventeen applications for unbanning and you were fortunate to be one of the few who was favored. Your thread contains some lessons you have learned from the ban. I hope you will maximize this second chance to learn and contribute meaningfully to the forum. Your experience will also be helpful to newbies never to engage in plagiarism. Welcome back, mate.

This IMO warrants a whole new ban and honestly shows that second chances are a joke. People who get banned always make a new account and keep repeating the cycle once found out. The admins are just wasting time and effort with this second chance shit.

He should have just shut the hell up and no one would have known, but here were are now in for a new episode of drama entitled "Back and Better on Bitcointalk"  ;D

You have been around all this time evading a ban, please save the paragraphs of advice to yourself. It's a huge disappointment.

From what I can tell you haven't been ban evading for long (Idk you soo, but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt). You made the account in 2023, but haven't used it until mid Jan 2024. Only a month.

Either way, welcome back on your original account. Show the forums that you can provide value so your second chance isn't ruined

He learned his lesson he won’t plagiarize anymore. Instead, he will create an alt account farm and feed his sockpuppets with merits!  ;D that’s the spirit boi

If you somehow get banned again, learn how not to get caught next time. Your alt acc spamming merit farming journey is only beginning yeeeehaa

I presume he is never coming back to this thread using any of his alts after the unplanned outcome.

@Nathrixxx (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3357576) was banned in 2021, the  2years and @ArikeTobi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3544819) was created in 2023. I doubt if this is his only alt, I don’t believe he wanted for two years to create a new account on the forum. It’s possible he has other accounts other than @ArikeTobi. The moderators have given him a second chance, it’s up to him not to mess it up.

Oops! Talk about misusing your opportunity! Smh! I'm sure he didn't see this coming else he would have been careful. I really don't get it though, why use your alt to reply in a thread you created when you can't be discreet enough?

 The funny part about all this is he tried to give advice to the newbies when he is actually defaulting .
Op, you were never back, as you've been here all this time and it's obvious you aren't even better.  ;D

I don't know you at all, I don't even see this forum section until recently :) But I totally get the feelings and emotions.

I guess there is something to be learnt from you, even if you yourself did not learn it :)

I always feel honored to be considered on this forum. I was a newbie for a while, I remember how people helped, with zero expectations of reward, and helped again and again. And I strove to be like them. It doesn't matter what you did in the end if you helped people. Did you?

This is not the first time a user has been unbanned and opened a “I’m back” thread only to get caught for ban evasion or some offense on that same thread. I don’t think this was the outcome OP was hoping for, maybe some merits and words of encouragement. OP was overexcited and made a blunder, I doubt he will get banned for this but his reputation is in jeopardy.

Loads of merits and welcome back replies, true but not this, I guess. He's not even here to dispute @pytagoraz claims which means he knows he's fucked up. Even though he wouldn't get punished for ban evasion, that doesn't mean he has to be careless. The downside with banning an account is that you don't get to know who their alts are except they slip or draw attention to themselves, giving the powers that be enough work on their plates. The cycle keeps repeating itself and I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done to better keep these stuffs from repeating itself, or will it be the same old fishing out their alts after they must have flouted the rules and banning them?
 Granted this is a social space but at least it has rules and therefore if one breaks them, a proper action must be taken but this here looks like users taking advantage of the leniency of the place.
