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

Quote from: Daniel91 on June 26, 2019, 02:37:38 PM

Don't you think that all users deserve the same, honest treatment on this forum?
That's a question for everyone.

My personal thought is that everyone should have the same treatment on this forum, it would be human and logical thing. Although the real reason for ignoring this case is for most unknown, if you read between the lines it might be concluded that RegulusHr guilt is not only plagiarism, but accusation of farming accounts and distribution merits between them. Also if admin/s and global mods have such and similar view about Croatians, it is nothing strange about how this case is put on ignore.

Put in the same basket Russian, Turkish, and Croatian does not make any sense. They are three different nations, with different languages, religions and with great cultural and historical differences.

If all the merit that he, unjustly, distributed in order to farm accounts in your section got reverted this would be pretty quiet other than a few circle-jerking friends of his. Russian, Turkish, Croatian, all the same. Nepotism and circle-jerking. There is no reason to unban OP.

Mods are finding farm accounts daily and banning them. It has been 6 months and no farm accounts have been found on Croatian local board. Put 2 and 2 together.

The only reason this still is not resolved is that Regulus is just some guy from some irrelevant local board so nobody really cares and this accusation is more of a 'Lauda forgot to take her happy pills' one than a case that stands on firm grounds.

He was our merit source, of course he gave us merits. That is exactly the point of being a merit source.

I believe he was appointed as merit source specifically for Croatian local section of the forum. That was the theme of his application post and theymos recognized it as a valid one. I didn't personally check every single merit he sent but I read a bunch of posts which were merited by him and every single one of them deserved merit as reward.

I am the most merited person by Regulus and if somebody has nothing better to do I invite that person to check those posts and see if any of them were undeserved.

You seem to have shared some very interesting thoughts here.
In your opinion, real reason for permaban in this case (RegulusHr) is because of ''farming accounts and distribution merits'' and admins didn't shared real reason for this permaban.
You also shared your opinion that admins have prejudices against Croatians and that this is another reason why this case is not resolved until now.
Do you really think that what Lauda shared here, about ''nepotism and circle- jerking'' is also the opinion of the forum leadership about Croatian members in this forum?
If you are right here than we have very serious issue now, much bigger than single permaban.
What others think?
Do you really think that Russians, Turks and Croats are main problem on this forum?
If so, I have simple solution for the forum admins, delete our local sections and problems solved.
At this point, it will be great if forum admins finally appear here and answers these serious questions.

It's just my personal opinion which is partly based on what is Lauda post, and on everything that is written in this thread. Fact that in almost six months no admins or any mod is post in this thread speaks for itself what they think about this case, and silence sometimes speaks more than a thousand words.

I can not know what the staff of this forum think about Croatian community, but recently one member was perma-banned, and he get his account back in just few days. Since he was banned for plagiarism as well as RegulusHr, it is obvious that in the case of RegulusHr you should take into account that there is something else in addition to plagiarism. But I doubt that is anything related to "prejudices against Croatians" on this forum, there are probably other reasons, but this is something that is above our ranks and position on this forum.

There is a history whom and for what I gave merit. These are accusations without coverage, it is easy to accuse someone and where are the evidence?
I worked exactly for what I signed up, gave the merits for good post at the local forum.

My problem is that I have not been active outside of the local part of the forum and what I do not know anybody enough influential who can urge for me.

I added a poll with the question: After all discussions here and everything shared do you think that this permaban should be removed?

I'm interested what people thinking about topic, when I cannot get administrator's answer.

Good idea for starting a poll. Now we can see the opinon of public on this topic.

Bumping for visibility and hopefully more votes, although I'm positive that even 100 votes against the ban will be portrayed as us 'trying to resurrect our milking cow with our farm accounts' or whatever.

Well respected member in our local community, who have personally helped many members with his advice and received a lot support from his community, have no chance for mercy and his death sentence is firm and unchanging.
It's so sad to see that our forum loosing him and other respected members as well.
If you feel that he deserve another chance and forgiveness, please post here or vote.
Share your opinion, don't be afraid.

I see to many BANs recently.
Most of them are deserved, But this one is not the case.
UNBAN RegulusHr and atleast talk with him moderators

bumping to encourage more users to vote

Thank you to everyone who has already voted.
I ask others, who have not yet, to vote.

Almost 85% voters think than permaban should be removed. It would be interesting to find out why our request is ignored for moths.

Yes, it is so weird that no one from the staff said something about this ban...

With this post I am encouraging more users to vote

Please refer to this post to see why we are asking for permaban removal.

I'm member in Croatian forum and I an say that RegulusHr is well respected member in our local forum.
He was first merit source and really helped many local members to get merit for good quality posts in croatian and to advance in the forum.
He even organize first offline meeting between members in Croatia.
We really enjoyed great time in the restaurant for the dinner and sharing and he paid for it.
He is very kind member, always ready to help and support others.
We really miss him a lot and want him back!
Since he was main merit sourcer in our part of the forum, we lost also in this way.
Yes, he made one mistake but is anybody perfect here, without any mistake?
Please mods forgive his mistake and restore his account.
In the coming posts you will see great support he have among croatian members on this forum.

Bump to allow more people to vote on this issue.

We don't need more votes. All we need is one admin who can unban RegulusHr

We invested a lot of time in this case and we would not do that if he didn't deserve it.

Ok, it's time to bring this topic to the top, given that nothing has been resolved yet after more than 8 months.
It seems to me that mods and admins don't feel comfortable to discuss about this case in public, in front of everyone.
I don't know why but I, and many others, will continue to ask admins and mods to review this case.
In following post I shared my suggestion how to deal with permaban appeal cases, in more transparent way:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5178987.0
I hope admins and mods will respond eventually and review this case based on the big public interest about this case.
