It's clear to me you know your thing.

Thanks a lot for your opinion.

The thing is that the account banned portrays the brand of the service we have founded/funded. So, it's hard for us to let it go and for reasons beyond our control and without bad intentions.

I believe you stated that pm the main mods might be a waste of time. So, what you thing will be an expedite way to get attention from the people with the capacity to review our situation?

Thanks in advance.

Hey suchmoon, what's up?

Thanks for your input.

The first one I believe was posted.

When we tried to upload the second one a few weeks after we got a large red copy stating that our account was banned. Immediately I believe we've got an email describing the ban without apparent reasons.

I know where you are coming from and I appreciate your advice.

I know a little too much about scammers and plagiarizers ... We aren't either. That's why we -and I particularly, may have been perceived as little aggressive when claiming to have my ban reviewed for lack of proven evidence we broke the rules.

But what's going to happen in the meanwhile? They might spot my new account as a ban-resistant account and would get me expelled for register a new account to post the same type of content as the previous one they got me banned.

It's confusing. Hence, my little rant.

Thanks again for your contribution. Frankly appreciate it.

Thanks for your inquiry.

We made only one post.

For the second post, our account was already banned and we've got from an email from bitcointalk.org stating that the account was banned. So, we couldn't post anything else.

I mean, we pressed on the "submit" button but the actual note wasn't posted.

I immediately wrote back to the email noted on the correspondence we've got. Nothing back from them yet.

As I stated above. We assured the profile was free so we reserved the profile name and it wasn't until a few months down the road when we wrote our first post.

It's a post related to an existing company trying to create a community of users for crypto adoption.

Thanks for your input.

The inactivity is pretty normal.

As a co-founder, you make sure to protect the brand you are incorporating as your startup by registering it in every single media outlet to avoid people to misrepresent you or act as impostors on behalf of the brand.

About 60-90 days after getting the name registered as profiles, we started posting on Linkedin, Reddit, Medium and Facebook around the same time.

Then we briefly checked Steemit and other outlets before set our first post on bitcointalk.org.

I'm sure the text wasn't plagiarized at all. Although the content could have looked very similar due to the fact that it follows a story about how we came with the idea, what's the purpose of being part of the project, benefits and what have you.

Patience is a great attribute. We'll then be patient.

Thanks again

Three days after my last post and no one seems to care or even take the time to send me a private message regarding this banning issue.

This is the who-cares-about-your-issue type of society people behind bitcointalk.org/Satoshi Nakamoto's vision are building to dethrone the JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Facebook, Citi and HSBC of the world, huh?

Sad.

At least Facebook gets back when you get suspended or banned. They tell you the reason.

Behaving like this simply will refrain crypto to evolute within mainstream and reach ubiquitous Facebook someday.

Who knows whether we open a new account to face the same banning perhaps by the same guy who did the first one.

Thanks to those who chipped in. Blessings

Thanks again.

I shouldn't have used that verbal tone when speaking to you. As you said it was me speaking out of frustration.

Regarding your advice to hope for Hilarious to have a look at this situation. "Hilari" was the very same person I have written twice about the ban subject.

He/she never got back to me.

So, if my hopes do rely on that resource I guess we're fu$%#d.

Thanks again for being this kind and helpful.

We post across the web in a bunch of different places.

Occasionally posts are reported for plagiarism where the forum post is similar to or a c/p of say a Medium post by the same author, and it may get actioned by the mods who only see the text similarities and not the common authorship.
Maybe this has happened to you.

Thanks for answering.

It could be it.


We came and registered our account because we've been told it was prestigious to be part of such a community.

I mean, when you're promoting your work you basically use the same wording to describe your service' features and benefits.

In our case, we do replace the typical hashing formed by computing power for car-driving based on computer vision. So, the same thing we have posted on Medium, Reddit, might be carrying the same core wording on whatever we've posted on bitcointalk.org.

I'm not sure but that wasn't plagiarism at all but a mistake made by someone that was playing God.

We've written emails and even a note to one of the mods here with no response. Sad!

It's very alarming to think that the people behind running bitcointalk.org who are banning accounts like our for no apparent reasons are the ones seeking to lead the world in the future by pushing for a decentralized world agenda with no control, with no central banks or monetary authority as Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto vision supposed to be about?

The 2-3 persons we have written to are simply acting as they don't care to know what others are going thru when bootstrapping a DLT.

I'd bet whoever has banned our account will be one of the firsts fighting for the freedom of speech, or for a reduction of SEC intervention in crypto upon a situation like those hit him/her.

I guess no one would be willing to apply justice to this account thing we're having. If any of the guys in power are eager to review what happened we'll be grateful justice was applied.

Thanks for your kind advice, guys

RE: walletever being banned.

I represent a group of developers working on walletever, a pretty innovative crypto ecosystem whose account got banned a few weeks back.

Our account was banned after our first post and no one has given us a proper reason as to why it got banned.

After countless hours researching the most likely scenario for the ban was plagiarism. However, there's no way in the world we will be copying someone's else content, when we are in the quest to promote our own.

We post across the web in a bunch of different places. However, we've chosen bitcointalk to make its audience aware of our plans.

So, is there anyone able to guide through the process of finding what's up?

I hope this is not me wasting my time posting this thread.

TIA

It was difficult enough to identify a thread where I could share my opinion regarding the ban.

I don't have access to the content I posted. I remember posting something related to the startup I'm a founder. Nothing spammy but an introduction to what we do and how we do it.

Obviously, we're innovators so we don't use words and phrases like PoW, PoS, X11, Byzantine, mining block, Lambo, to-the-moon because we're developing an alternative mining protocol that's activated by car-driving.

So, based on your experience, what's the proper procedure to appeal the ban? or who should I appeal the ban with?

I really appreciate your guidance.

Have a great day ahead, sir

Well, I might be one of the thousands that got banned from bitcointalk.org.

The funny thing is that most of the people I know that are involved in crypto are anarchists that are always fighting for Human Rights like freedom of speech or Julian Assange, among them.

Banning free speech is not exclusive to bitcointalk. It also happens on Facebook, although Telegram is the worst.

Why does someone get to own a free media like Facebook, to simply decide who "write this" and "who writes that" without paying a penny for hosting? Not even Facebook itself does ban as many people as the moderators of their public groups run by individuals.

As I stated before, Facebook does not behave differently than bitcointalk.org when it banned our account a couple of weeks back.

I got to figure out that our ban was due to plagiarism. Nothing farther from the truth.

I do represent a startup that I personally have bootstrapped for almost a year that promotes an endogenous coin and an innovative DLT to help reduce car crashes by car-drive mining. A DLT that may save lives. Not an ERC-20, or a Waves-based token but a real deal with proprietary code that boast 100% mineable assets without an ICO, STO or IEO to get funded.

I'm not a millionaire either.

We do our own content. So, it's impossible that there's a startup doing the same thing we do and even using the same literature and language we do for us to copy and paste "their" content in here.

I've written to one of the moderators twice with no response.

It seems unfair that a personal opinion from someone who's not familiar with what we do as co-founders will impact so severely a well-intended crypto startup by blocking an outlet like bitcointalk for them to communicate with their potential audience.

Worst is that whoever banned that account has done it with no remorse or even the courtesy to let us defend ourselves.

I might get banned again but I've expressed myself and I know one of the mods will read this long note.
