You'll need to give a working link or the account name.

You'll need to give a working link or the account name.

Lol, that's definitely not a link to the account in question.  In either case, there are plenty of members who've gotten merits (from mods or otherwise) and subsequently been banned.  The merit thing doesn't have anything to do with the ban.  Anyway, provide a proper link to the account and somebody will check for plagiarism, which is the most likely reason for the ban.

Edit:  That is indeed odd.  All your posts got deleted, and you can't even see what post you got merit for.  Maybe achow101 will stop by to explain, but my guess (and it's only a guess) is that he gave you merits for what he thought was a good post, and subsequently someone found out it was copy/pasted.  Did you copy/paste anything from anywhere without citing the source?

There is no correlation whatsoever between rlmerits received and getting banned., If you got banned it's wither you
Copy and pasted
Posted malwares or other harmful links
Or is an alt account of an already banned user.

Higher ranked accounts get banned even with lots of merits accumulated.

Your profile Franco columbo has been Nuked for copy & pasting.

Here is a weird case of copy/pasting where both the question and answer are copy/pasted.

Take a look at the question asked by user Ronnie colman here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5082275.0

There are two secp256k1 implementations that are related to Bitcoin-Core:

* bitcoin-core/secp256k1
* bitcoin/src/secp256k1
What is the more authoritative implementation? What secp256k1 library should be used?

The exact same question was asked 7 months ago here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49994041/bitcoin-core-secp256k1-vs-bitcoin-src-secp256k1-what-to-use

And the answer by user Franco columbo:

As far as I'm concerned, that's the same thing. The most recent version is here bitcoin-core/secp256k1 and from time to time is pulled by developers in bitcoin/src/secp256k1

The answer is exactly the same as the answer on stackoverflow.com on the link I posted.
The question was asked at 08:04:54 AM and the answer came at 08:08:04 AM, 3-4 mins after the thread was created. Since both the question and answer is plagiarised I assume this is an attempt to receive some merits by Franco columbo and the other account could also be his alt.

33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.

This is your real link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2488946

You do Current Posts 17 with Current Activity 17 all gone like in a storm broom. And you get award 3 with Merit 0This has never happened to other members, maybe the reason your account was banned, with your posts missing, copy / paste, or there are other things.

Look like forum need a automated anti-plagiarizing software to catch these guys. Now they  cannot rank up by farming activity in Off topic so they started copy pasting shamelessly.
I like the idea of charging these guys for raising ban request (refund it if they are not guilty) because after copy pasting, how innocently they claim they did not copy pasted.

The way both names are spelled "Franco columbo" and "Ronnie colman", also the time frame between post and reply, certainly looks like it.

Hah, karma comes back at you fast, both accounts are now lost.

as per my knowledge i didn't do any copy/paste

no per my knowledge i dint copy paste anything

If you deny it again, it will be almost biblical.

LOL anti plagiarism software can have its own issues. As moderator on another forum I got banned for posting phishing links by the automated bot. (Were altered links in an anti phishing post) . Fortunately we had other communications channels so i got unbanned quite quickly.  BOTs are also easy to bypass by abusers. E.g. posting an unrelated link as a "reference source" to avoid being done for plagiarism.

in the rules that I have read, the user may not sell merit, request merit, give merit to a post that is not qualified.
maybe you violated one of the rules, which caused your account to be suspended

[oh brame]

i searched in google i got the answer so i thought of posting here so that it will help him

did i ask merits for this

moderator should have checked and gave  merits  he was so dumb that afterwards he as banned me 

dumb moderator

[TheBeardedBaby]

Merit is not moderated, so everyone can give merit even to already banned accounts if they find the posts valuable.

You should have read the rules before cursing the moderators.
It's your responsibility to know the rules prior posting, same as driving car. Why would you blame the Police that they caught you driving drunk. It's all your fault.

Be gone.


If you have read the rules you would know that with your very first post of the new account you have broken the ban evading rule, so this account will son be banned too. Congratulations and don't blame it to the Mods..

The only dumb person here is you. You didn't search google for just the the answer. You searched google for the question too. People shouldn't have to google posts before they merit them and they're trying to help genuine contributors out, but people like you ruin it for everyone. It's a sad state of affairs where half the decent content that gets posted here is plagiarised from somewhere else and people are often reluctant to send merit because they don't want to give a plagiariser or spammer the opportunity to get a signature from just one half decent post (that may or may not be copied), but this is another reason why we need a higher than one merit requirement because people like you don't deserve to move up a rank for one plagiarised post.

Acceptable,as long as you indicate the link or source of the answer,not doing so paints you as an impersonator,trying to take credit for someone else's work,or trying to cheat the system by earning a merit for an idea that wasn't birthed by you

did i ask merits for this

You do not have to ask for merits to earn merits,merits are given for posts that are worthy of them,thus whosoever gave you merits thought so, but didn't know it was a stolen content

dumb moderator [/b][/size]

Talking about being dumb,what do you do when you're new in a place,you get to learn,through reading the rules,ostensibly you didn't.
So I'll let you be the judge over this
