Hi. I received limitation on writing posts and messages on its account https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=547526 . I can't understand the reason for this. I think this ban is wrong, if I broke some rule I would like to know that. Anyway, I didn't want to do it. If this is indeed the case, I would like to admit my mistake and not repeat it again, if you will remove this restriction from me. Thanks.

"Sorry kamandanu, you are banned from this forum.
You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com"

This account he is using is obviously a long-dormant bot account that was hacked as well. Look at the signature and registered date:



Registered on June 08, 2011 and no posts until this thread.

Probably because the infraction was only spotted yesterday.

One coincidence...

~~~
Even gold is good as an investment but if you want to make best profits from it then you need to wait for a very long time and that is not the case with bitcoins as it can give you very high profits in quick time and that also with an limited investments so at this stage if I have to invest my money then I will surely prefer bitcoins over gold as I don't have patience to hold my investments longer to make profits from it.

Gold is good as an investment but bitcoin is the best and it has clearly proved over the years and it has gone much higher then gold so if you want to make huge profits then you need to take a risk of investing higher capital in bitcoins as gold will never give you higher profits like bitcoin and also you need to hold gold for a very long term to make profits from it.



Lol. A classic bitcoin is good because it is profit and profit is good post.

Phase One: Copy and paste post
Phase Two: ? ? ?
Phase Three: Profit.
Phase Four: Get banned.
Phase Five: Cry coincidence?


@ bones and hilarious

thanks for explanation about edits.

I would have though plagiarism (taking work as your own)  would be like claiming you had a great or novel idea. I have often seen people ask a question and people post a reply they have cut from the net or some other post and post with no obvious gain to themselves at all they were just being helpful.

Would it not be best to rid ourselves of real scammers and scamming icos than these sort of people.

What sort of person is analysing threads of all these years previously? who would seriously even do that. Most merit sources admit the job of looking for a good post in alt section is just too much trouble.

Who has perma ban powers? all mods? can they ban even legends without a warning given first?

The unofficial rules are called unofficial for a reason I guess? who even listens to these appeals from members who consider their ban incorrect or overly harsh? who makes the final call?

I am not talking about this person specifically I mean if there are multiple cases of plagiarism even if minor and almost pathetic with no real damages to persons with original or novel thoughts/ideas then i guess this can be seen as deliberate. Although after a year of such well just lazy behaviour I would maybe dig deeper to see what else he had done in a positive note.

Only really Global's can ban and they can ban anyone regardless of rank (except admins and possibly other mods). Copy and pasting is pretty clear cut, but if you want staff to moderate scams then petition theymos about it to chnage the rules, but it's likely something he doesn't want us to do. If you're concerned with scams though you can leave them feedback yourself.

Just wondering about this but those dates are back in 2017??

He just got banned right now for this or is he very late in discovering he was banned?

Also there must be a way to tell...

but how can we tell people can not copy and paste something we say and find an earlier dated post they made and copy and paste our post making it look like they posted it first? then reporting us for plagiarism?  even if it was requoted they could own the puppet account.

I have to say honestly if the rest of his entire post history looks legit that is quite a weak case

I must have seen "bitcoin is the king of currency" and " alts have no chance to beat it " by 1000's of persons here over the years i mean there is only so many ways to express this.

What is the obsession with people copying and pasting work of little worth I mean the above example is not an expression of a novel idea or something that has not been stated 1000 x before?  and not banning people that are serious scammers?

I mean surely over a year later is a bit strange.... who is looking up this stuff??




Some people are looking for abuses and going back through old threads. Just because they were missed doesn't make it ok. Far too many people have been getting away with copy and pasting because it was so easy to do and get away with, but it is pure laziness and greed. If someone edited their post then it would show up as edited.
1585  Other / Meta / Re: My account - Collider - HERO was blocked, why? on: November 16, 2018, 05:16:02 PM

On the email? He will never respond...

I didn't say email, but how do you know he won't respond? Have you tried it before?

One coincidence and lost my high valuable account Sad.

It's not a coincidence. Stop playing naive. As I said above, the chances that you randomly posted the same content he did are astronomical.
1586  Other / Meta / Re: My account - Collider - HERO was blocked, why? on: November 16, 2018, 04:57:21 PM
I must admit, if this is the post because of which he was banned for plagiarism, this is really thin.

Any shitposter could post a line really close to this one in any BTC thread.

Doesn't matter how 'thin' it is but it's clear he just took the original and changed a few words as many people are doing to try avoid being detected. I'd argue it's a much worse crime than just a straight copy and paste as they've gone to lengths to try hide it. Either way it's still a shitpost.
Is there any chance how to compensate it?
I really didnt use someone else posts. I am sorry, but this is really little bit unfair. In 105 pages thread there is very big chance that you will have similiar idea with someone else...

Yes and bitcoin is too big and king of crypto currency and I don't think that any altcoin has potential to take over bitcoins in future as bitcoin is more popular and it can be also used for online shopping and money transfers which can never be possible with any altcoins.

Bitcoin is the king of crypto currency and it wont be easy for any altcoin to replace bitcoin in near future as bitcoins is more popular and it is widely used and accepted and that is never possible with any altcoins.

Do you have any idea what the odds would be that those are just coincidences that you just so happened to copy someone else's post almost verbatim in three different ways? Astronomical. Unless that's your alt account and you were just churning out the same drivel over multiple ones. Then it would be more believable. Contact an admin and see if they show you any leniency.

It is banned probably because of plagiarism,Did you plagiarize any content from this forum or anywhere from the internet?
No, I didnt!

Normal forum created for communication between people, but why then this shit?

I think you should be asking yourself this question. Why did you post shit?:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5069958.msg47936976#msg47936976

You are the problem here. This was a discussion forum created for people to discuss bitcoin but now it's just a copy and paste/shitpost one.
1590  Other / Meta / Re: My account geopolisch was banned for unknown reason ? on: November 16, 2018, 03:11:47 PM
This is the one that was reported:

That will not happen. But I think that will not happen so fast. That is not so good for the people.
I think that more people will use also normal banks. And they dont know how to use Bitcoin.

The chance that it will happen is really small and that is that many people are still dont even know how Bitcoin works so that is the problem.
If it will make it disappear than Bitcoin have to be really popular so there will be also more people that have to promote it so more people can get to know about it.

Banks will not dissapear anyway and everybody know it. Bitcoin can't compete banks, it's just need to evolve to start. When bitcoin will grow we will see what happen.

I think that will not happen so fast. That is not so good for the people. I think that more people will use also normal banks. And they dont know and not aware on how to use Bitcoins at the present moment.
1591  Other / Meta / Re: Why is Meta growing fast but serious discussion and ivory tower dead? on: November 14, 2018, 02:17:12 PM
Why have most of the older posters I recognise retreated here to meta and not moved to the ivory tower of serious discussion after being driven from the main discussion boards?

Discussing how the board works is not generally why people visit forums is it?



Neither is Ivory Tower or Serious Discussion. People are mostly discussing ways to better the forum, which obviously belongs in Meta. Discussion about that doesn't really belong in either of those two aforementioned boards. As others have mentioned, the fact that you can get paid to post in Meta is also another factor.

1593  Other / Meta / Re: Hi! Newbie here, kinda need help on: November 13, 2018, 07:26:52 PM
The truth is I don't know anything much about bitcoin yet. so my question is: are merits and trust important? what exactly are they and how do you gain it? Does it have anything to do with bitcoin directly?


Welcome to bitcointalk. Where people know more about trust and merit than they actually do about bitcoin.

Ask your "friends" if you need help.
1594  Other / Meta / Re: What do "bump" and WTS mean? on: November 06, 2018, 12:05:47 PM
Sometimes when I don't know what some terms and acronyms means I use Google to find answer.

Are you saying there's a website that can answer all your queries? What is this magical all-knowing website and how does it know all these things? Can it read my thoughts as well because I'm often too lazy to type?
1595  Other / Meta / Re: Split: Reported post has deleted but why marked bad ? on: November 06, 2018, 11:09:57 AM
Is it possible that whole ANN is trashed and all reports are marked bad?

No. They would be all automatically handled.
1596  Other / Meta / Re: Thoughts on Moderators moderating their own topics? on: November 05, 2018, 05:48:27 PM
I'm curious what people think about Moderators moderating their own threads.  If they would like this ability, should they start "Self-moderated" threads like everyone else?  If they don't and have issues with posts in their threads, should they report them like everyone else to allow another Moderator to address the situation or is it okay to self-moderate threads without the warning?  Seems like a conflict of interest situation.  Should there be rules in place to address this?

Moderators can't make make up their own rules even in their own threads. If they want to do that then the thread should be self-modded.

1598  Other / Meta / Re: Reports being marked as good but not acted upon on: November 01, 2018, 02:22:00 PM
I reported these three threads a few days ago for all being spam mega threads, and suggested that they should be locked:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4623876
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4975491
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3253610

All three reports have been marked as good, but the three threads all remain open.

Similarly, I reported this thread this morning as being both discussed to death many times before and low value, likely to turn in to a spam fest:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5061153

This report was also marked as good, but this thread also remains open and as expected, is turning in to a spam fest.

Are my reports wrong and should have been marked as "bad", or was there a mistake made elsewhere?

I don't think I handled any of these and I usually only handle them if I'm going to lock them (but with some exceptions), but a staff member may have been on the fence about them so decided to not mark them as bad. Reports should probably just be left in the queue or 'ignored' if that's going to happen though (with some exceptions).
1599  Other / Meta / Re: Is there a thread here on the ten year anniversary of the white paper? on: October 31, 2018, 08:23:03 AM
I'm sure there will be several created today, don't worry about it. Anyone taking bets as to how many?  Grin
1600  Other / Meta / Re: how to unsubscribe from bitcointalk on: October 30, 2018, 03:17:00 PM
unsubscribe= delete the account and all the posts of that account. and delete the mail from the mailing list with all the personal data.

You can't delete the account. Best you can do is delete your posts and change your email to a non-existent one then just abandon the account.
