Dear Moderators/Theymos,


On the May 31, 2023, 08:52:26 PM, I received a message in my email from the forum and I login to the forum to see the message, as I login, at first I didn't notice the ban message, but after reading the deleted message then I clicked back the home page then I saw the ban message, on top of the page.
It was a big shock that got me wondering what crime have I committed. So I was trying to figure out but no way and I went to  https://ninjastic.space/user/id/3525774 to see the deleted post when I went there, I saw the comment and I clicked on the link and it took me to the thread, and I checked other people comments and compare to my comment till I saw  that I copied SamReomo probably in the process of making my comment. My intention were to edit and clip the post in a quote but, I can't tell what really transpired and it came out as a copied text, probably because I was feeling dizzy at the time as I was on my bed while on the forum.

Due to the ban, I have been scanning the Ninjastic.space to see if I have done such mistake before but I could not find any, though I am not an expert in that search but, just have to try due to this recent development and to better understand what happened. As it is, I am even confused of what really happened because I have tried my best in all conscious effort to keep to the rules and this instance is the very first time I happen to have unconciously violated and most of all, a fellow forum users post. Just how dumb would I be to have done that here if not by some big error. I haven't done such thing before and now, I feel bad to have been sleepy but yet access the forum. I also tried  checking on the plagiarism thread to see any proceedings that followed my case but, couldn't find any.

I am not claiming to be right in this but rather, a slip of the hand, and unconscious mistake that has taken a big punch at me but I'm appealing right now, I'm so sorry this happened in my weak moment. I believe I'm not a spammer and I was trying my best to give the best quality I can bring. I believed I have not violated the forum rules before, I always maintain my posts quality in the forum. A mistake is a mistake I am guilty. Please forgive me and look into my issue as some big error.

To the Moderators/Theymos and others please have mercy and unban  DiMarxist account for me. I am a student.

Let's compare your post and SamReomo's post.

Your post


If you're just want to quote SamReomo's post, you wouldn't add few words or spin his words in the first place! I looked on ninjastic.space he doesn't have edited his post, so it's clear you're trying to copy his post and add few words in order to make your post looks different.

You're lying, you're deserved to get permanent banned by the moderators.

I just checked the first post from your post history.



How do you explain that? Should we go check out your posts further?

looks like this is a habit for the OP, here I thought it was probably just a mistake, but now I feel dumb for giving him the benefit of the doubt. it's good you found another post the OP plagiarized.

My first reaction after seeing your post is that perma ban for a single plagiarised post is a little bit too strict for my taste (even though he was lying about how it happened) and I would rather see him getting longer signature ban so if he continues being active and prove to a usefeul member of the forum, then to lift it off.

But as always when people start digging in these cases, seems like that's OPs M.O so perma ban is imho well deserved. I have no doubt that he will create another account and continue with business as usual because for him bitcointalk is nothing but a milking cow.

After reading the OP, it is clear that he is lying. The proof is already on this thread and it is clear that plagiarism was done. The way inwhich it was done is hilarious. The arrogance and confidence shown in the topic does hint at multiple alt accounts. I don't feel any remorse, but confidence that the user was in the wrong. What I feel bad about is that the user was a part of the Sherbet old signature campaign and was able to deceive the campaign manager and campaign owner. I would request the moderators to keep the ban in place.

I am of the opinion that paraphrasing will be more difficult to a smart person than making a new post. Even if you don't have full knowledge of what the post is saying, you can take a clue from that same post and make yours, without plagiarising or paraphrasing. It is not the best practice, but should be better.
Let me try and make same Dybala post, taking clue from the original. My own post is in italics.



Dybala has proven how special he is as a player.  His impact was well felt in the match, even if he missed the majority of the season's matches due to injury, he was still intrumental to his team because he doesn't appear less fit to other players

In the above instance, I didn't generate any idea of my own and I didn't also plagiarise neither did I paraphrase.

Op, your chances here are slim as more evidences of plagiarism are coming up.

Of course they don't since you omitted first part of the sentence where I thought that was his only case of plagiarism in which case I wouldn't personally give anyone permanent but instead signature ban but then it was discovered that it wasn't the only case and he was doing it on the regular basis whihc changes things dramatically and was probably the reason why he was perma banned.

I believe that forum lost some good members by being too strict in the past and perma banning members for a single copied sentence but no one cared since number of active users was on the rise. Now situation changed and they realised that wasn't the smart decision so forum staff become more lenient in that regard.

He taught me about plagiarism when I did not plagiarise and saw what he did.

He will continue to say I don't know that forum has rule for plagiarism but in January he knew it.

When I initially read the OP post, I felt sorry for him but now that I realize exactly what he did in that post, and the same pattern is being repeated in this example, shows that OP was trying to cheat the system but eventually got caught. Such people deserve this punishment. I now wonder if he has some alts too 


Why not, someday a person will come up and say I was in a coma (Near death prolonged unconsciousness), but still busy completing the Signature quota
