There is some discussion of that in another thread. However, it is not implemented at this time. For now, you will just have to live with the status quo. Also, you will be unable to chime in with your opinion on that thread since that would be considered ban evasion and this current account may get banned. Also, if the proposal to just ban signature ever goes through, I'm not certain it will be retroactive.

    There is a warning. It's called the rules which are posted as a sticky here is Meta. Going forward, I recommend that you actually take the time to read the rules of any website that you use. Also, copying someone else's work is never OK without proper citation. If you tried to do this at school, you are likely to get a failing grade and potentially expelled. If you did this as part of your job, you are likely to get fired or sued. I know that copy/pasting someone's shitpost seems like a minor infraction. However, Bitcointalk has to draw line somewhere. Even with this policy, many of the boards here are inundated with shit posting. If we just let people get away with copy/paste, the forum would be practically unreadable.

Well, now you have a response. I am sorry that you don't like the answers. Maybe a champion for your cause will show up shortly. However, I doubt it.

Hmmm, he deleted that post already.  

It doesn't matter. Even if it was something else - the quoted copypasta means that you're very unlikely to get unbanned.

     Well, then follow the instructions on your ban message and attempt to appeal it. Only the administrative/moderation team can overturn your appeal. However, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a favorable response. In fact, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for any response at all.

Many accounts have been banned for copy/paste going a year or more back. The policy against copy/paste is pretty stringent on this forum. Also, since it appears that you are a bounty hunter; so, your posting is financially motivated. Your chance of appealing this and getting it overturned are less than you being able to walk through the entire Earth, intact, due to quantum tunneling.

I'm willing to bet my firstborn that not all started with copypasta.

Not on page 47 of a spam megathread.

If you start from the first post it won't take long:


Lots of one-liners and/or generic posts in megathreads... quite shit really.

Plagiarism is the most common reason. "Autoban" doesn't mean it was banned "automatically" if that's what's confusing for you. You've been banned for violating forum rules.

So your plan is to figure out what you did wrong so that you won't make the same mistake again when you create a new account and thus evade the ban (which is against the rules). 

Why don't you answer the question of what account we're talking about here?

sorry my magic ball couldn't find your banned account , so i think you need to post the username/profile link to that account.

also i am willing to bet the cat that it's plagiarism related.
