Looking at it from a mod's perspective, I don't actually see a reason to unban you.
Interesting.
Then how all other accounts are getting unbanned? Looking at it from my perspective I see: account is banned because they c/p post and that maybe wasn't malicious attempt to blatant copy/paste someone's hm..."work"? for post count, maybe user really wanted to be helpful but instead putting things under quotation marks they just c/p post.
Maybe it is just me and I am defending scam busters (60+ scams exposed), well, I'll be damned if that is not millions dollars saved in investards pocket.
That is net positive. It is damn time consuming, I can tell you that from first hand. It is much easier to go to gambling section and spam 20 messages to say how you agree that
LUCK IS NEEDED for fucking win!
Banning users who are exposing scams while keeping users who are discussing "
If I gamble and I pick nose at the same time, will I win?" is wrong!
It would be OK to say why this user does not deserve a second chance!
Let's just agree to disagree, sure I can understand that it's hard work to expose 60+ scams, but I agree with hilariousandco when he says that it's just a clear case of plagiarism.
Besides, I'm sure I'll get a lot of flak for saying this, I do not actually hold the opinion that
most scam busting is all that useful.
Hear me out, it's basically trying to empty the ocean with a thimble.
I think it's much more valuable to educate people to not fall for these scams in the first place, than it is to try and "bust" every individual scam.
Sure, you might prevent some people from losing their money, but most of those people who were already thinking of spending money on a questionable service, would probably just do it again when there's no-one around to stop them.
Now I do concede that it's a very good thing to point out the more elaborate scam attempts, especially when a fair bit of research is involved.
Just not when it's all painfully obvious. So, is OP a net positive contributor on Bitcointalk? For me, the scam busting doesn't automatically mean he is, but that's just my opinion.
One last thing that really baffles me, it takes more time to copy paste that message than to just quote it and add a couple of words yourself.
I mean someone who's been on this forum for so long as OP should really know better. I don't believe in "forgetting" to quote, copy/pasting is such a deliberate action in most cases that it's not hard to avoid doing.
That's the last I'll say about this case.
