I'm the user whose main account Mpamaegbu got banned over allegation of plagiarism.
I have been very devastated in respect to what happened on the forum concerning the thread in question – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3158767.msg32651653#msg32651653 (it has been deleted by mod now). It was a shock to me when my attention was drawn to it that I didn't reference the post which I never intended to pass off as mine. The post was made in such a way to provide a link at the end but it slipped me after the thread was hurriedly locked up almost immediately it was started as I didn't want it to be a duplicate post after my attention was drawn to one created an hour before mine. I never went back to the thread until this happened. Honestly, there was nothing I intended to profit by not referencing it. It was a honest slip but sadly it has now cast a shadow on my person.
There are instances of posts I made with references littered before and after this said "problematic" post. The shocking thing to me was that the two short threads I made which sandwiched this post in question were all referenced. They were even short seemingly obscured articles https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3201186.msg33217747#msg33217747 (that's the thread on top) and
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3044070.msg31335368#msg31335368 (the one immediately below it) yet I referenced them let alone a lengthy post from a Steemit site which I know is a popular crypto forum. I'm not a plagiarist or spammer. I do put in my best to the best of my perspicacity to posts I make.
I wouldn't intentionally leave out referencing posts that weren't mine. There's nothing I stand to gain doing that. I take the blame for that slip and make a promise I will be more thorough on things like that going forward.
All I ask for is a second chance and that will also enable me become a better focused user than I am so I can continue to contribute my quota to the growth of this forum.
I have come to grow on this forum that it has become almost a second home to me and I don't see any reason I should intentionally break its rules and regulations.
I do apologize for that slip and hope that the forum will find a place to grant me a second chance.
