I came here and gave my sob story.  I pleaded my case profusely/aggressively trying to show my worth. I asked for forgiveness. Over the past months I’ve read countless ban posts of the same ilk.  I now feel foolish to put it lightly.  For the last 8 months I’ve read countless Meta posts, re-read the rules a 100 times, wrote 5 pages of a planned 10 page paper on plagiarism (this is one difficult task but I did learn a lot from my half way finished effort..for instance you can even plagiarize yourself quite easily), and thought about how I could come back here and prove my self-worth and be deserving of another shot here.

However it became more and more clear to me that no matter what I said or did I’d likely have absolutely no chance at coming back.  Though I have given up hope completely, I did recently stumbled on the “funny ban appeal threads” and was compelled to write this..  Some are pretty damn funny I admit. Many are the same nonsense and really piss poor excuses. But I know personally not all are bull shit fairy tales.  After reading my name being specifically mentioned in Meta recently and falsehoods being suggested, I felt I had to set a few things straight.  I didn’t make one thing up that I said.  I’m embarrassed by my rant..but I was being honest. Too honest I now realize.  However, I realize the sob story is something no one is going to know if it has any merit to or not (outside a few buddies of mine here), nor give a shit about in all likelihood!  I realize now why I’m banned and others whom committed other terrible acts such as fraud..are not.  My crimes are easily provable. I do get that completely now.

I honestly don’t know what I was thinking by making those several posts that day I plagiarized.  I really don’t.  Not why I made them, but why I plagiarized..nor wtf was going on in my head that day. I made the posts because I promised Atriz my signature manager I would never let him down on my post count.  What I made from that campaign in a week hardly pays for a single meal out where I live.  It wasn’t about the money what so ever.  Well, it kind of was. The more money I can make in life..the more I can give back.  Every single satoshi ever made on those campaigns can be seen going right back to charity, here on this forum. These things I wanted to set the record straight with. I am not signature campaign money hungry for personal gain.

For 8 months I’ve watched many opportunities pass by where I feel I could have added value to the forum. My post history is pretty telling of what kind of forum member I believe I mostly was.  My topics are either detailed posts to really try and add value here or for collectibles purposes. 

Hilarious and Theymos…I respect you guys and I fully understand where you’re coming from.  However, you’ve both stated you’d be willing to let a member back who you feel would contribute positively moving forward (likely with stipulations).  Besides my lapse in common sense one day..I’ve done nothing but try and contribute positively here.  Plenty of it being pre-signature days too.  So..put me to the test!! Fuck my signature, hell ban me from it for good.  Give me a chance and I will still be here, still contributing, whether now or a year from now. Easy promise I can make/keep.
 
I appreciate everyone who spanked me verbally but in a professional way.  I’m really thankful for those who I either don’t know or hardly know, whom showed a bit of faith in me..  LoyceV , DarkStar, Lauda, Pharmacist, JetCash, and several others to be more specific.  I respect all of you quite a bit. I know you all care a lot about this place as do I and you work hard for nothing more than to better bitcoin. I'm sorry for my selfish and childish actions.  Period. 

I was 100% wrong. I cheated. I didn’t properly source several posts and I’m 100% at fault. Period, no excuses.

I’d happily give up signature campaigns if that meant I could come back. I’d happily serve any punishment handed out to get another chance.

Theymos, I can’t prove you or anyone else wrong if not given a chance.

(Also ..The Nazi germany statement was said in bad taste and I apologize if I offended anyone. I was simply trying to stress giving someone a second chance doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Not that I’ve suffered or will if banned like the millions that’s have by the hands of that sickening regime )

I hope to get another chance, but if not ..I have only myself to blame. Tyler

I knew that I would receive crap for my last post but it was honest.  I f*#$d up during a difficult time, period. I cheated, I was wrong, it's 100% stupid and I understand what those consequences are now.  It was over a very short period of time where I wasn't by a computer and I made a major lapse in judgment and took the lazy way out.  It was mindless, a mistake..but I was wrong.  I'm guilty and I've never denied this.  

Theymos, you mention that you'd be willing to give me another chance if you thought I'd be a positive contributing member here. Since this thing was brought up several months ago, there has been zero plagiarism since.  There's a reason many have come to my defense here and it's because they know I'm not just another shit poster.  How many people here spend time to go after scam ICO's, to break down white papers and help others.  I can't tell you how many hours I spent warning others of Bitconnect on and off this forum.  I've posted numerous threads warning others of scams such as allthingsdecentral.com, Pecun ICO, Infinitum ICO/Company etc.  I have spent countless hours fighting FUD, learning all about the Lighting Network and using a fantastic write up a friend wrote as a basis to show others why the L.N. makes sense for bitcoin's future (if you asked this member I'm pretty sure he'd tell you I bug him more than I should.. looking to learn).  I have had to correct countless Hero and Legendary members over and over for pure nonsense such as how and why bitcoin and ethereum aren't competitors.  As a licensed financial advisor, who got in the industry to help others because I was tired of seeing others being screwed over...yes Theymos I more than know I'd add value going further and quite frankly I know this forum is better off having people like me trying to fight for those with less experience.  It took me a long time to head back outside of collectibles after I first joined here.  I posted about Bitconnect early on and the responses I got were awful.  It can be very hard to get reliable info on the forum at time and I've done nothing but try and combat that.  Again signature campaign or not, I've been here positively contributing much more so than most.  

Personally I don't understand how the guy whom tried extorting me for money a few weeks ago gets to stick around.  How to do those people get to stick around whom have clearly ran/run Ponzi schemes?!  Users whom talk about using bitcoin as a means for illegal animal fighting and or for the drug trade, they don't get banned?

For those of you who want to see me banned, I'm sorry but if you open your history books Nazi Germany wasn't a good thing.  Theymos, I fully understand where they're coming from..at least Theymos is open to the idea if he believes this person would be a positive contributor going forward.

Sometime people DO deserve a second chance.  Sometimes those second chances become a very positive thing.  For all the people whom have stood up for me I'm very thankful.  I have disappointed you all, I've disappointed this forum and I've wasted enough of everyone's time.  But to think I'd ever break a rule again, after everyone came here in my defense...is insane

Hello Mods- I am wondering why I've been locked out/banned from my account ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=904524 ). I've got nothing but green trust and I'm unaware of what I did wrong.  Any help is MUCH appreciated.  Thanks you.
