Ban Appeal RegulusHr and discussion on topic "good for the forum as a whole".

[cryptofrka]

Maybe he, as a merit source, sent merit to alt account or sold merit? I don't see any other logical (backing up my logic with previous examples) explanation.

No way of that happening, I know the wise minds of this forum will always find a way to doubt what we say and I am not even talking to them anymore, but I'm putting this for you - you know all of the merited users on this list.

We also know the guy, he did not want to take his cash reward from mladen for the best joke in one of the giveaways because he thought it was too big to take so instead took whoever wanted for drinks that he paid for with that money.
Selling merits? No way, there's more chance of admins here getting a spine than of Regulus selling merits. So no to both of these.

If that was the case I think the admins would have mentioned that in this thread and there would be no valid grounds for unfair treatment. Or it would have been discovered in some other ways by members investigating that sort of thing. There is something more here that we don't know apparently.

Well, I am guessing here. Anyway, not a single ban here is comparable to unbanned ICO spam service, not only it is literally payed-to-spam-forum activity, it is fraudulent activity!

What Regulus did? @Lucius, why did you remove your posts? If we are talking about ban appeal and forum administration not responding, it is not beating dead horse!

I think all members who gave support to Regulus here will follow this case very closely: 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg54469714#msg54469714
expecting the same chance to be given to everyone.

I failed to understand the criteria the mods use for banning and unbanning members on the day pirate hunter a ban evader, a bounty cheat and a scam promoter was miraculously unbanned without any appeal and has been scot-free ever since.

Unlike some members including Regulus who have contributed positively to the forum but have been denied a second chance, pirate hunter is a person whose net contribution to the forum is in negatives but all our appeals fell on deaf ears blind eyes

Pirate just moved to his new accounts.
He now works for Bcash bosses and promote Bcash in Brasil, so he can buy high ranked accounts here.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some moderators secretly take hush money for unban. Of course, this is not an accusation and I have absolutely no evidence for this. This is just my opinion and general impression. Who's to say that this is implausible judging by everything seen here?

The little man will always be neglected while the big fish always find their ways. That’s why Lauda probably won’t get banned (and I’m not saying she should be), and RegulusHr, and many others, will never get a second chance.

This is a serious accusation and I would not really go so far as to accuse someone without concrete arguments and evidence.
Likewise, such accusations will not help resolve this case.
What we all expect and ask for is for the admins to consider this case and make their decision.
After the great interest in this case, and all the arguments presented, and after 16 months of waiting, that is the minimum we all expect to see.

Like I said, I’m not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised. Would you be?
What is the logical explanation that some members were given a second chance or a milder punishment (like a temporary ban or a sig. ban), while Regulus and probably many others cannot?

Agreed and agreed.

This issue can only be resolved by forum admins, but they have chosen to remain silent and ignore this topic for almost a year and a half.
I can understand that for principle reasons, regardless of the local community's request, they don't want to forgive Regulus but I can't understand that they don't even want to give some simple answer to Regulus and to a large number of local community members, after so long time.
Given the many examples where some other members have been forgiven for major mistakes, a large number of members of our community feel that Regulus has been treated unfairly and has not been given a real chance.
This is the main reason why this topic is still active, and will be active probably for years to come, sending a certain message to forum admins but also to the entire bitcoin community here.

[ovcijisir]

I don't know why admins think they will stop us with their silence.

They took one of our members and we want to know why is he not pardoned like many people who were also banned.

[dkbit98]

I think moderators are to busy with all the spam and people posting crap so I have great solution to kill two birds with one stone.
We should have more decentralization and some voting process for unbanning people.
Adding more voting to other major decisions would also be wise.

[Daniel91]

It seems that we will soon mark another sad anniversary (2 years) of the departure of a highly respected member of our community from this forum.
Dear Regulushr, thank you for everything you have done for our local community and it will never be forgotten.
Everyone in our local community are really sad that your case has never been reconsidered and that you have not received any response from the admin.

Have you tried Bitcointalk Discord: https://discord.gg/ahgHyku

[Pmalek]

@suchmoon
The Bitcointalk Discord is another possibility, but it's not like the admins and those in charge haven't seen the ban appeal for two years. They know about it.  I don't think I have seen another ban appeal for any other member like this one. A huge amount of support has been shown for RegulusHr, mostly from the local forum, but also from neutral members.

I don't know what it is. It's not just the case with Regulus, it seems that anything we as a local suggest is met with some sort of hindrance, delay, non-responsiveness. We ask for a local mod to handle our board - nothing. The French members ask for trust to be enabled in their local marketplace - it gets enabled. marlboroza, myself, and many others ask if we can get trust in the Croatian marketplace - nothing happens, no response, no one cares.

We ask if we can get some more subsections to organize our board in a more efficient way. At least we got a response this time by Cyrus so I guess it's being considered at least. But nothing has been done on that front still.

So from a neutral viewpoint suchmoon, would you say we are being taken seriously or are we the laughing stock of the forum? Is it unreasonable wanting to make our local better organized? Are we idiots for caring and trying to make it better?    

[cryptofrka]

I will second this. Thanks for the recommendation and I'm sure somebody more highly rated will try to find somebody he knows on Discord and try to resolve this.

The thing is that we should not have to find backdoors for issues like these. The rules for ban appeals are stated, we have seen less valuable members being pardoned and this is dragging for over 2 years! already.

The system where you have to know a person to get fair treatment is a bad one and we should not be accepting it and trying to find solutions around it.

We ask if we can get some more subsections to organize our board in a more efficient way. At least we got a response this time by Cyrus so I guess it's being considered at least. But nothing has been done on that front still.

We got that today and Local is already 5x better.

Ohh, that is awesome. I didn't visit the local today yet so I didn't notice the change. Thanks to admin team for doing that!
I am going to check my profile now and start moving some of my threads to the correct sub-boards .

[dkbit98]

Did anyone here see a play Waiting for Godot (En attendant Godot in original French) by Samuel Beckett?
Are we waiting for RegulusHr to come back same way as Godot?

83.7% people voted to unban RegulusHr, but even if mods unban him after two years, I am not sure if we can contact him and bring him back again.

I think it's fucked up that you're not getting a response to this appeal at all, positive or negative, but that's just how this forum operates unfortunately. Same with the other requests regarding the Croatian board, or any request in Meta really - why not just post a simple "yes" or "no" instead of having people wait for months to realize that it was probably a "no".

Having said that, if you really want to have this done you gotta play the game even if you don't like the rules. If Discord is where shit gets done that's where you should go.
