Title: Account banned for unknown reason, an appeal to review it.
Post by: Gaurav1106 on September 06, 2018, 11:10:39 PM
Hello

My real bitcointalk account is @Gaurav11kb and the concerned profile link is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2022380.

I just logged in to my account and it was blocked. I have been using bitcointalk for over five months and I have read all the rules of the platform. I believe I haven't broken/violated any rules of the platform and no post/comment of mine got deleted by the mods in the recent days. I haven't made any comment which is prohibited, no plagiarism or anything which is not allowed by the forum rules.

My ban might be due to any misunderstanding. If not so, please let me know my mistake and see if I can be let go this time with a warning or a time bound ban because I have tried really hard to comply with all the rules of this platform.

Was it a permaban or a temporary ban (e.g 7 days)? It should be specified in the message if it’s a temporary one.

Your account was banned for:

Quote
33. This includes both copying parts or the entirety of other users' posts or threads and copying content from external sources (e.g. other websites) and passing it as your own.

You did start a thread on discussions board (got thrashed), "Global Bitcoin ATM Market to be Worth $145 Million by 2023", not only a duplicate one, but you also didn't add the source which was, https://www.ccn.com/global-bitcoin-atm-market-to-be-worth-145-million-by-2023-report

Yes, I created the post but my question was at end which was 'do you think that we'll see some altcoins atm in near future?' It was from a news article from CCN.

I now know I messed up and I should have given the due credits, it didn't came to mind at that time because I was only thinking for the question about altcoin atm but its my fault.

It wasn't my intention to claim that that article was written by me, it was by mistake and unintentional and I couldn't find the similar post here, I wasn't copy pasting from anyone's post.

I try to contribute to the forum with whatever I have learned in crypto in last few months. It can be seen from my comments that I don't spam or plagiarize. Can I be given one and final chance with warning?

It happened by mistake and I'll make sure that this won't happen again.

Please consider this.

It's possible that your account was banned because you were suspected as a bot/fake profile . I saw that your account was included here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3612774.msg37180951#msg37180951

Seems like you are spamming old closed bounties.

No sir, I am only doing present open bounties which includes Lipchain, Laccoin, beatrix, swipecrypto and leaxcoin. All are still going on.

Going through your post history, the ATM post was the first you shared content from an external source so not citing it was probably a mistake and ignoring all the bounty posts, the rest aren't really spam, but with all the spamming/plagiarism getting reported, unintentional mistakes isn't an excuse for not having read the rules.

Maybe the mods/admin will take your appeal into consideration and let you go this time with a temp ban, unlikely.

That's what I'm hoping for. It was the first mistake and if ban is lifted then it would be the last mistake. I'll be cautious.

I don't think the ban will be lifted up...

As far as i know you only found 2 copy paste that i did. It must be a 7 day ban only and not permaban.
And i think that i learned from my mistake. I will not do it again.

One is all you need. One copied post = one permaban.
