Bitcoin Forum

Hello.My profile is gofoter- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=228696 and I was banned but it doesn't show me for how long.I'd like to know that.

You are banned permanently. This account could be banned due to ban evasion.

What is the reason you ban him?

I guess it is for "insubstantial posts with sig ad", which has been the ban reason for quite a few accounts in the past. :)

It doesn't show an expiration because there isn't one. Your posts are terrible even after a previous ban so no point in delaying the inevitable.

Wow,and why should my account be banned permanently?Seriously,isn't there something that can be done,I really value my account.And what's the problem with the signature campaign?It's not like I'm the only one using one and also there are a lot of other accounts who make such posts.And I even don't spam-in the last month I've made about 53 posts-is that spam?Seriously,I'd be very grateful if this can be made temporary.A person spends time building an account,has no negative intentions and this happens.I want one last chance-I've been here since a long time and my account is really valuable to me.

Guys,I really want my account.I know you can make a change.Seriously I need it!If I have I will change the way I write the posts but I want my account!

Spamming is not only about quantity, but also quality. A significant number of your posts are extremely lacking in quality. They read more like text messages sent between two 12-year old girls rather than educated and informed responses stemming from a passable, if not deep, insight of the various topics discussed. In fact, if I were to ask any kid I know to post on the board, and that kid knew absolutely nothing about Bitcoin, I would bet that his/her posts would more or less resemble most of your posts.

Now you may ask, "why was I singled out?" Well, it's because you're participating in a signature campaign. As it currently stands, a lot of users abuse the existing signature campaigns by spamming the board with one-liners and trivial responses. Obviously, that hurts the reputation of a forum committed to helping disseminate accurate information about Bitcoin. (It also taints the integrity of an honest signature campaign, but the mods don't work for the campaign runners, so that's a moot point.) It may not have been your intent to "spam," but that hardly matters, as intent is not something that you can prove nor present as consolation for any harm that your actions may have caused. Maybe you were spamming on purpose, maybe you weren't. No one knows but you. All that matters is that your posts brought up red flags, and those were enough to justify banning your account for spamming.

I've also noticed that you've started to post on threads casually again using that account. That's ban evading, and it doesn't really help your case.

I'm sure you deserved it.

Well looking at your posts i have a feeling that you spammed a lot of topics, but i don't understand why did they ban you without a warning. I think you should be first warned and than you have one more chance to improve your actions. If you were warned about it...well that's the answer than. And good luck with your new account and don't be silly again to spam.

He was already banned for 2 weeks before permanent ban.

Ok guys,but I want one last chance.Why should my account be banned permanently when I'm not a spammer-I am telling you absolutely sincerely that I'm not here with that intentions and I have my account for enough time to prove it.I want one more chance because I feel I deserve it.If not,I will be really discouraged.

Because you "want" and you "feel" you deserve it? How so, please explain?

Because I really want to contribute to the community and the account is valuable to me.

And you abused it continually. I don't see any reason you should be entitled to more chances. You didn't learn from the previous one.

Look,I know it looks like this and I know I've made a mistake but I want just one more chance.Nothing more.If this happens again I will be the first one to tell that my account should be banned.But that is all I want.Please understand me.I promise I will really change  the way I write and I will no longer make this insubstantial posts.But the account means a lot to me,as well as this community,believe me.I am not somebody who doesn't care at all.

You should really discuss it with the staff member who banned you, there's not much we can do and any decision made would be solely up to them. Remember a forum is not a democracy, when you're on there you abide by the site owners rules.

Obviously, if you really cared, you wouldn't be in this position again. So no, I don't believe you.

Why should you be an exception? You've gotten your warning when you received a temp ban, yet you didn't listen. If you want your account back, send an email to the email address shown on the ban note with an appeal. If theymos decides the ban should be lifted, he will.

BTW, a ban in here means that not only your account but you, as an individual, has been banned from these forums.

Well,ok then,I will send a letter.But please don't be conclusive in your posts.Everything I've said is truth only.
