Ban appeal!

[Avengers360]

Good day, yesterday (17-09-18) a user in this forum,  kekenapep, was banned on the grounds of plagiarism.
I would like to appeal this ban, as I communicated with the user on another platform and he confirmed that it was not intentional, in his bid to make quality posts he was reading to gain knowledge and so his post had some similarities with an article online.
In fact one of his earlier quality posts had already been merited. And it was quite disheartening. And if he is pardoned, such would not happen again.

Also I tried to argue his case through an account, thintaddy, and also received a ban for protesting. Maybe I wasn't supposed to argue, now am appealing. And I would appreciate if the moderators can review this case.

P. S, the user kekenapep also received a red trust in addition to the ban, cause his post had similarities with another. I would also appreciate if this can be reviewed.
Thank you.

OK... Let's start by saying i'm not an admin, i'm not a mod, i'm not in DT...
I wasn't the one that banned you, i wasn't the one that red tagged you... Nor am i somebody that is allowed to undo any of these changes.

However...

I HAVE been a member of this forum for many, many years, and i've seen dozens of these situations. So i AM able to predict what will happen with a very high degree of certainty...

First problem: user kekenapep was banned: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2129786
You say this is unjust because he posted an article that "had some similarities with an article online"
You mean that kekenapep completely by coincidence formed the exact same phrase as printed on coinwire?

Sorry, but nobody will believe this... I'm 99,9999% sure user kekenapep will stay banned, since plagiarism is a perma-ban offence. I've only seen 1 appeal for such a perma-ban work (ever) and this was a guy that copied HIS OWN work from HIS OWN site to bitcointalk. Nobody else ever made a succesfull appeal for a plagiarism ban (AFAIK)

Second problem: user kekenapep received neg trust from DT: Vod's trust seems justified... He doesn't trust people that plagiarise, and to me, it looks like he's well within his rights to do this. Only Vod can remove the negative tag, but i don't see this happening anytime soon. Since i don't see user kenenapep being unbanned ever, it shouldn't matter either...

Thirth problem: user thintaddy being banned for protesting... Well, i can only tell how it looks to me (and probably to 99% of the other forum members): it's very hard to believe that you (Avengers360), thintaddy and kekenapep are 3 different people... We've all seen this "trick" numerous times, and usually it turns out the post making the ban appeal "in the name of a friend" is actually the banned "friend" himself...
Once one of your accounts is banned, it is in fact you (as a person) that is banned. If you continue posting with other accounts, this is called ban evasion and all accounts indulging in ban evasion will be banned aswell (if caught).
Once you're banned, you're only allowed to use 1 account to create 1 thread in meta to discuss your ban. If you continue posting outside this thread, you risk all your accounts getting banned ASAP.
I'm never 100% sure that this is actually happening, but the odds of this being the reason for your other account being banned is pretty big. It's nearly impossible to say this for sure, since it seems all thintaddy's posts were deleted

Similarities ? It was copy and paste and there was more than what I and what o_e_l_e_o posted.

Bans apply to the account owner - not just the account. This means that all alt accounts are forbidden from posting on the forum as well.

"Some similarities"? "A lot of difference"? What are you talking about? It was pure copy-and-paste plagiarism:
