Bitcoin Forum

Hi,
as you can guess my account was banned for duplicate posting. Actually there was no information regarding the reason, but I double check the rules (as usual afterward) and it seems the most plausible reason.
Sorry for that. It is my bad and I received a deserved ban.

What I want to know, is it a permanent ban or for a certain period of time? And if it is a permanent ban, can anything be done to help the situation?

It goes without saying that I will be very careful with the rules regardless of your answer.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

With regards,

If there was no timeline specified in the Ban message then it is a permanent Ban. This thread for Ban appeal and the procedure outlined in the message are all you can do.



I'd say you are correct in why you were banned, copy/pasting your own content multiple times, is banned the same as Plagiarism. This is the case especially when you are likely doing it for monetary gain. You can see here you pretty much just set up a form letter and changed a few things here and there.

Yeap, I am guilty and I'm admitting it. I just thought it is okay if this comment is appropriate for the topic and the flow of the conversation.
Unfortunately, I was wrong. And I guess, I should forget about my account now?

As far as I know there is no second chance for a permanent ban and you are not allowed to own an account on the forum, except to appeal your ban.

You seem to have old activities with this account (which is probably before your ban).
But going forward you are not allowed to post on the forum outside meta

Isn't it funny when you look for one thing in particular but you end up with something even better?  ;D

I found a Sr.Member account - mazedk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=118499) who have copied multiple posts of ifirina (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1156630). Could they be alts of each other?

edit: mazedk deleted all three posts, guess he didn't notice the archived links  :D

Such quick much coincidence :)

Sad day for the OP. Complain about a Full Member account, lose a Sr. Member... who just happens to have some serious post history gaps between 2015-2018.

Oh no...

Another one of those coincidental Sr. Members with a hiatus between 2015-2018.

I thought they were being way to grown up about the account being done. Figured that couldn't be the answer though.

I'm sure the SR. Member account appeal will have more drama.

One of the copied messages was deleted within 1 minute of my post and while I was trying to highlight and edit, all 3 posts were deleted and I was unable to report any. He also took off nearly a hundred posts in 2018.

Can I pm someone from the staff or mods that are dealing with plagiarism cases to take a look at this one?

This (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg48104054#msg48104054) usually works. Good catch!

Both accounts are in one family actually. One of them is my and one belongs to my husband. And yes, my husband was as ignorant as I and broke the same rule, unintentionally though.
All messages have been deleted to at least compensate some of the damage to the rules (if that helps). Since there are no procedures for such cases, I don’t even know what else can be done here.

And the kadrek account is your other husband?

It's banned.


Yawn.

kadrek?
I know nothing about this account...

Shares an ETH address with your husband. You better check him for lipstick residue, something shady is going on in your family.

As I said before, I don't know anything about any others accounts...
I wanted to say that we will not break this rule again, but I think that this is already understandable, since both accounts were banned, and according to the rules I cannot use this one.

I think you beat too hard, guys. But it is admin's rights to decide what to do and how.

But thank you for paying attention to this topic.

No, thank you for digging your own grave.

Yeah, right.
It is not the solution I was looking for, but problem is solved anyway and now I can move on

Well, hope everyone is playing! The first thread I get to use my new Bingo scorecard on, and he smashes 3 excuses in one!

Even here, no luck and could not collect the whole line (

Haha. I wonder if we'll ever get a full house.


There's still time. Are bounty campaigns your job? Did you and your "husband" have the same thoughts? Are you of the opinion that it's ok to copy and paste because others do it?

Other reasons don't work for me, sorry. And I think, it is fair to left the Jackpot for others.
The rules are very strict and hard, so I don't think you will need to wait for long.

This forum is probably one of the most liberal on the internet and I think many people get away with far too much. Scams and trolls are even mostly tolerated, but all we ask is that you don't copy and paste but that seems to be too much to ask from many users. I just wish people would stop doing this so we don't have go through this multiple times a day and then everyone's happy.

That's a good enough match for "The rules are unfair", but given that hilarious goaded you in to it, I don't think it would be fair to give you the square I'm afraid. Still, 3-in-1 will be a hard tally to beat, especially since you've taken some of the most common excuses out of the game.



Exactly. You learn in elementary/primary school not to copy other people's work. We literally teach that to children aged 5, but for some reason people think it is acceptable on here. There's not many things I think deserve an outright ban, but plagiarism is numbers one, two and three on that list.
