It seems to me that the reason for this ban was to paste some information from another side.
I think it's about this article : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2592758.msg48647948#msg48647948

If so, I did it in good faith and unknowingly it is forbidden.

I have been in the forum for 5 years, I am asking you to restore my account.
I promise to correct it and not do it.

Sorry for my english and greetings from Poland.

I have nothing to defend and I am asking for forgiveness

The only way you can get a minor punishment (a few days of ban + a few years of signature ban) instead of a permaban is if you prove that you have a positive net worth for this forum (and if theymos agrees with that).

If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.

(don't actually create a new thread. Instead, use this one)

And what about that one ?

Coinexchange:

"This currency has been flagged for delisting. It appears to be abandoned and has done minimal/no trade in the last 6 months. If you want us to continue to list this coin, you need to trade it! If there is no trade over the next 30 days, we will begin the delisting. If you are the developer of this coin or wish to conduct a takeover, please contact us. Happy trading!"

I wouldn't call that plagiarism when he clearly put everything in quotes and made it clear that this was taken from Coinexchange. Let's not be extremists here. There is a big difference between pretending to be the author of the text and clearly citing an update and where it was taken from.

Yeah... that's just the tip of the shitberg.

Right at the moment people are not paying attention to real world projects and are busy with recent pumps in other alternative coins markets. COVAL is flying under the radar and all development is being carried on for the real and true cause in real world. at recent prices I succeeded to catch some, cheers !

I couldn't find a rule where it stats that posting the source LINK is obligatory.

33. This includes both copying parts or the entirety of other users' posts or threads and copying content from external sources (e.g. other websites) and passing it as your own.

Nowhere in his post he passed the text as his own. But well, that's just my opinion.


Anyway, as you can see above ^, the user is not innocent at all. I still would like a definitive answer about the specific Coinexchange "plagiarism" you linked above and if that's really considered plagiarism by the mods. I personally wouldn't.

Strongly agree.

Looks like a long term member that was also involved with lots of alts over the years. I would let him back with a sig ban and final chance. 

Real members will have no problem contributing with a sig ban. Sigs are really just for promoting projects you believe in or supporting members you think are cool and their projects.

I did not intend to impersonate the texts of others, just paste a message that I considered important.
Indeed, I could give the source, my mistake.

For many people, the problem is also English - I learned Russian at school - and that is why we are trying to write something in a short way.

[Lafu]

Just simple

If you copy an text from an other website and post it here without the source link it is copy and paste or ?

Nobody knows if this post is your written work or not !

If copy an text from a other website and just paste it in the Forum i advise to always post the source link too in your post !

Just to be sure !

He was clearly saying what he was posting is from the business. He used the name of the business and a colon.

Irrelevant.

You copied another user's message, even modified formatting so you can't claim you didn't know what you were doing. Every shitposter can claim their posts are "important" in some way, if only for bumping a shitcoin thread.

The only route to appeal is for you to show how you benefit the forum. There is no doubt that you plagiarized so you can drop the excuses.

[mikeywith]

There is no point in discussing the obvious, whatever you posted there is not plagiarism by any means,  and i am willing to bet the house that nobody would have banned him for that.

however what suchmoon mentioned above is plagiarism at it's finest and that's probably why he got banned.

Hi everyone! I know this is kinda off-topic but I believe it's somewhat similar as to what Lafu pointed out, the only difference is that he uses a term 'CTTO' instead of the actual author/link.

I reported this to 'Report plagiarism (copy/pasting) here' but not given enough attention whether it falls under plagiarism or not.

Plain and simple plagiarism. What even is "CTTO"?

[Crypto-DesignService]

Plain and simple plagiarism. What even is "CTTO"?

Acronym for 'Credits to the Owner' where I think is an awful way to credit authors since it does not state or link you to the actual creator of the article.

Yeah... that's not going to work. He surely deserves a ban.

[gregofdoom_]

You're great. Drain a man who has been on bitcointalk for over 5 years because he has pasted a post.

Once again, my intention was not to assign someone else's text. I thought it was worth re-publishing in another thread and I did it.

Gentlemen ... it's best to burn me on the pile right away.

To support many projects, I have released a few BTCs without wanting in return, and that does not count as well?

I can list many accounts of the legendary, people I work with and help with, and that also counts?

Sick!
