Legendary account banned! [Appeal][3.5 year passed]

[GreatOrchid_alt]

I don't know why is my account banned.
I was using it since morning today but lately i came to know that i was been permanently banned!
My profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=364362
I would really appreciate your responses!
Also any suggestions where can i appeal?


Don't you guys think, I've been punished for a long time. Even criminals are been released from the jail after few hours. I already spent more than a year as a punishment for some fullish mistakes I made a lot years ago.
Please, can I now be given a chance again?

More than 3 years have passed but still I'm left punished with a permanent ban on my account.
I really wish to join back the forum and be an active member.
I accept the mistake I made that time but I also feel like I have been punished for a really long time. Every mistake deserves forgiveness and that's what I am asking here. :/
I've been away from bitcointalk for more than 3 years as the only account I handled was permanently banned and it demotivated me from using forum again. But I respect the amount of knowledge this forum can spread and now I really want to be a part of it again.

I hope I can be given a chance again.

Right here and you kind of already did it.
If you have been banned for plagiarism and somebody comes with the proofs of you doing so then consider your appeal denied.
Checking your post history doesn't look like at first...but who knows..

LE:
As I was saying, Veleor to the rescue!!!
And as Loycev was saying, ban evasion (from now on) ?

Most likely: plagiarism, ban evasion or spamming. You had 222 replies deleted, then joined a signature campaign that recently became known for spamming.

Also any suggestions where can i appeal?

It tells you right on the message you get when you log in. Your odds aren't good.

Sorry for your bad day, GreatOrchid
I don't know exact reasons for your case are, but I guess this post likely one of them.
It posted years ago, and I guess you did not intentionally do it, but in reality it is plagiarism, and you can not deny it.

Please lock the topic, and keep going.

Plagiarism.

Yes, bitcoin is the gold of the new era.
If we're talking about the new value of currency in the internet, there are several cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin and Bitcoin is the most popular of them but I can't tell it the new value of currency so soon we've got a long way to go.
We are dreaming about the new money and Bitcoin is a candidate for that. It is still not legally accepted as a form of exchange I think it's too early to say that BTC is the new money.
If we're talking about if we can use it to buy foods and etc. Definitely yes, there are stores and banks that accepts Bitcoin I can name a few if you let me. But the point is, it is being used in some services and it can be use as an exchange to buy things. Don't worry Bitcoin are being used in that kind of things.

Yup Bitcoin is trending nowadays but to earn it easily is another thing. Bitcoin is what they call gold of the internet. If gold is hard to earn in the Earth's soil then Bitcoin is hard to earn in the spectrum waves.

Interesting reading the comments in this thread, both from 2 months ago and also those that are more recent.

An interesting theme that I picked up on is most people feel that 1: Ethereum can't do this because that would mean Bitcoin would need to be worth x price. And probably more dominate 2: Ethereum can't do this because that would mean it's marktetcap would be worth more than Bitcoin.

What I find amusing is that a lot of people feel there is like some unbreakable law somewhere that an "Alt Coin" cannot possibly overtake Bitcoin, ever! Also, the false assumption that only one coin can rise, or more precisely if one were to rise too much that would be Bitcoin would need to fall like there is some finite amount of money in cryptocurrency or something.

My thoughts are that yes, Ethereum can very well be worth $1000 each, and it may even happen this year yet. Bitcoin also may remain top dog and be worth $10,000 each, or to the horror of many, maybe it will only be $3,000 and second place to Ethereum's market cap.

As the final chuckle, the recent comment even with Ethereum recently seeing $200 in that "oh no, to reach $1000 that would mean it would need to be 5x what it is worth now". Do you people not keep abreast of what is happening. Not too long ago (5-6 months) Ethereum was trading at under $7 and it recently spiked close to $210 meaning it has seen a 30x rise in just the last 6 months, so tell me why is that extra 5x rise this year so impossible again?

those are quite damning if you had a sig on at the time and can be demonstrated to have done this for no other reason that gaining financially.

however a precedent has been set that even financially motivated copy and pasters can be reinstated depending == well I do not know the exact criteria.

I suspect even if you are allowed back then you will have no sig for a few years.  

I can't recall the guys that were allowed back after getting busted for financially motivated copy and paste but someone will point you to that case so you can make a sensible comparison in terms of the net value you bring to the community. Then you can make an informed choice regarding whether it is worth the time and effort to push the appeal.

I always take interest when a legend is banned because that is not something that is easy to replace now and if you are truly sorry then perhaps a harsh uppercut in the face like this is enough to stop you doing it again in future, then total destruction can be avoided.

If you are a real enthusiast you will not care about losing your sig for a few years anyway and will be happy to be able to keep contributing here regardless of direct payment.

I have not seen a legend with that few posts before.

I support all but total maniac copy and pasters that are legends to be given a sig ban and not get a perm ban. I imagine all legends have contributed something of worth over the years.

Make a case of the net positive contributions you have made and list them here. That could well help your cause.

Theymos is often quite fair so if nobody else helps then PM him if you have done some good here on the forum and say you will not mind a few years sig ban.

Hate to see peope who have been here 5yrs kicked out if they still believe in this movement.

[GreatOrchid_alt]

9+ months passed but yet there is no response from the mods.
I accept i might have made mistakes back in the past, but don't you think years passed for that and everyone should be given a chance to improve their mistakes?

I was much cautious while using my account on bitcointalk and on loosing my hard earned Legendary account i lost my faith on bitcointalk truely speaking. But i want to get back and start contributing the forum. I would actively contribute towards the betterment of the forum if i can really get my account back.

I am realising that my hard efforts are really going waste and it is emotionally hurting me. Atleast give me a chance to improve my mistakes please?

I want to start using back this forum but as per the forum rules and regulations i can't create a new account with having my old account here. It strictly violates the forum policies. I have seen a lot of users have been given a chance and are welcomed back onto the forum, so why that might not be the case with me?

I promise i would positively contribute on the forum and if i am found violating any of the forum policies, i myself will leave the forum forever and never will turn back, but atleast give me a chance.

What do you guys think? And i already appealed to cyrus and theymos but got no response so what other step can i take in order to unban my account?

[PrimeNumber7]

Did you only plagiarize those three posts? Or was your plagiarism more widespread?  

Do you have any sockpuppets that have caused problems/trouble before you were banned? Have you caused any problems since you were banned?

[GreatOrchid_alt]

Did you only plagiarize those three posts? Or was your plagiarism more widespread?  

I can't find the third post, but yes only two of my posts were plagarized. Rest, each of my posts were meaningfull and i really used to spend a lot of my time on this forum back then. The day i was banned, i lost all faith and it was really a lot demotivating for me.
In future i would never ever even think about plagarism if by any chance i am given a chance back onto the forum.

Do you have any sockpuppets that have caused problems/trouble before you were banned? Have you caused any problems since you were banned?

No, i don't have any sockpuppets and i have never caused any problem/trouble before i was banned. Also i have never caused any problem even after i was banned.

Sorry, edited the post above you.
Lately saw that!

Edit: I also sent a mail to the email address displayed on my mail account for an appeal to unbann my account. Fingers crossed

I looked at the length of your last 200 posts, and considered other factors, including how frequently you have been quoted (900+ times). It is my opinion that your old account should remain banned, but that you should be allowed to rejoin the community under a new account. Given the time you have already been banned, your previous lack of merit, and the minimum time it takes to rank up, I believe this to be roughly the same as a multi year signature ban. Alternatively, maybe 800 or so of the merit you received when you were grandfathered into the merit system could be deducted from your account, and you would be given a 12-15 month signature ban (plus the 9 months you have already been banned would work out to a two year signature ban).

I can't promise anyone will take my opinion as anything. Good luck!

This is assuming that your above responses cannot be disproven (to himself) by an administrator.

I appreciate your response but it is not really easy for me to start with a fresh account as it would take years to be a legendary again on this forum. I would rather stop using this forum(that's actually what i did for the past 9 months) instead of creating a new account. Also i can accept multi year signature ban as it won't allow me to earn a revenue from the campaign system and still i can contribute towards the forum, but keeping my account banned will demotivate me to leave this forum forever
I hope the mods can take a wise and caring decision perhaps.
But i am more afraid after readind your reply. Let's see what happens.

So you'll accept a multi year sig ban but wouldn't care to start over? You cannot contribute from a new account? What you're saying makes 0 sense man. No i'm not saying break the rules and make a new account, but what is the difference between old account restored and contributing and making a new account to contribute?

Starting over is not actually what i am thinking on. Because even if i do start over, i would need to atleast rank up to member rank to uplift all the restrictions including sending pm's, uploading images, posting time gap, etc. Also it would be something which would violate the forum rules which i won't consider by any chance. I actually love this forum because of it's unique features. I did not just join this forum to earn few bucks from the signature campaigns so multi year signature bann won't affect me unless and until i am able to contribute towards the betterment of the forum.
Few peoples here might remember my old account and i can conveniently post from that but starting from fresh isn't what i am really expecting.

There is something called Copper Memphis, this takes away all the restrictions you mentioned above, but again this still be against the rules. Once banned, there is no return back. (well ive seen some cases when miracles happen)

[dkbit98]

What about when someone is banned 5 times, and then unbanned.
Did you ever heard about this miracle story?

Bumping, seeking support.

[tbct_mt2]

From what I know, your odds is too low. About one year and your ban appeal has not yet been accepted while there are some ban appeals were accepted months ago. You can see from [TIPS] to avoid plagiarism and look at the part for Second chance after get perm-banned. You need to have good net effects to have acceptance from global moderators or admins. Moderators can only play their roles to give some reports of your case to global moderators or admins, that they probably did months ago.

[BAN APPEAL]UPDATE: Total table + Ban status (Need feedback from Global mods)

Anyway, good luck, Orchid.
