Ban appeal for kodec5

[Zenmimddar]

Greeting to all respected members of the forum from low ranks to high ranks. It was sad having to wake up this morning and found out my account named - Kodec5 was banned from the forum. Still trying to bear the pains I would love to know the reason for my banned. No one is above mistake so perhaps I have gone contrary to the rules and regulations of the forum and ill love to what that is.

I just went through your post history and you really did have a great start since most of them you talked about taking your learning process slow, navigating around the forum so that you can learn more about the forum and also bitcoin and you even motivated other newbies to be patient with their learning and not be impatient as that will lead to them doing some stupid shit that will cost their account. So why didn’t you stick with what you preached? You have managed to accumulate enough merit to get you to member rank but it seems like you yourself got impatient and then resorted to copying other people’s information and presenting it as yours.

As for you getting unbanned I don’t know if moderators are going to have pity on you and unban your account, that will depend on your plea and right now you don’t have anything solid here, but I do hope your account gets unbanned though.

From the link shared by Cantsay in your last thread, which was created, you presented the information as if it were your own words, and you also never shared a source link to the post, as almost the entire content was gotten from another source. I don't know if this was done on purpose or if it was a forgetful mistake.

This part of the forum rules is almost always what reminds newbies, and if you are the type who appears to be a quick learner, how come you are not aware of this? Copying others work without giving credit to the original author is stealing, and the forum is highly against that.

I hope this was just a one time mistake or do you have other threads which was also created base on copied information and you forget to drop a source link.

You got your answer, close the thread, or now there will be some good-natured comrades who will start moralizing and writing about the same thing without reading previous posts. They have to write posts for the subscription campaign, so they will write you the same thing about how bad it is to plagiarize and blablabla.

I am grateful for your quick response and thank you for bringing this to my notice.

I have been trying to find out what i did wrong that got my account banned from the forum. This is serious cant believe I had made such a horrible mistake here, i should have shared the link to the source i got the information. You can check my post history again I have never copied someone's post before i am very sorry for not paying attention to the post i made. Sincerely i taught i added the source link not knowing i did not. I have no idea what transpired that day, but I never intended to pass off someone else's content as my own. I am pleading that the moderators should look into my account and see that i have been organic and have made good contributions to the forum.

I am still shock to see there are people who still copy post from elsewhere to post without providing the source of such content to prove their post, after getting ban they come back for appeal. Why must they come back for appeal instead of to devote time to read the rules that governs the forum before starts making post to avoid being penalized for their actions, you actually have a very slim chance to be considered otherwise I will tell you not to keep wasting your time appealing.

As shared by Cantasy, the reason for your ban is plagiarism. To be honest, I’m surprised you got banned after one plagiarism report. Moderators are more lenient with newbies and sometimes they just delete the reported post instead of banning the account after one report. Unfortunately for you, your account wasn’t given that grace.

Plagiarism is a serious issue here, even newbies make threads about plagiarism so it’s hard to use ignorance as a defense. In your case, you do not deny having copied the post, you claim to have forgotten to include the reference in your post. While that can happen, I doubt if you can gather enough support from the community to plead your case.

Now we all know that you were banned because of plagiarized content which isn't accepted at all in this forum, but you're saying that you forget to include the reference link which lead to the ban. I don't know why someone forgets to put the reference link when they can copy and post the content of others. OP, I think you may get a second chance if you can prove that you forgot to put the reference link of the text that you shared via a post.

Since your account got banned due to a single plagiarized content sharing you may get another chance if admins, moderates, and other staff forgive you because you said that you forgot to put the reference link. Still the plagiarism is strictly not allowed in this forum and even a single plagiarized post can ruin someone's profile. I think others can learn a great lesson from you, and they won't post someone else's content without putting proper reference links.

Sorry OP, but I do not think it was an honest mistake. After you created a topic with plagiarized content, you applied that same post to be merit assessed by fillippone (merit source). You even declared the post as an "opinion", despite the fact that there is not a single word that originated from your own thoughts; it was entirely copy-pasted. This indicates a clear intention to present someone else's work as your own and earn merits to boost your forum ranking.

In addition, he added a note that the topic was created to study blah blah.

This Topic is created to examine the Bitcoin's performance and explores market dynamics as a result of the debt ceiling concern

This does not mean that the OP simply forgot to add a link to the source. In addition, we often advise against copying entire articles without adding any of your own thoughts. Searching the Internet is open to everyone, and transmitting information without a personal view is called low-quality publication.
Close the topic, OP.

This shit right here just really gets under my skin. You got caught, made a topic acting like you made an innocent mistake, and like usual the members of this forum found out you are a liar!!!

Why is it so hard for someone to have an original thought of their own? What makes your life so damn hard that you have to come to our community and try to cheat us and feel like its ok? I really hope the admins keep you banned. And just so you cannot claim later that you didn't know, banned means you as a person are banned. You cannot create new accounts and still participate. You are no longer welcome in this community.

You know it's not that hard, the problem is the quality of the post that comes out this way.
OP would have not cared about plagiarizing if it wasn't for merits, that's why he did it, some think that copy-pasting text or using text spinners on an essay that was written by a more experienced author would look like he has poured tons of effort into it so ...merit!!!!

Not going to point fingers but I've seen enough users around here getting extremely lazy once pass a certain rank, from opening topic after topic to 4 generic lines in mega threads, or the funnier ones that start a business accepting BTC, make a topic about that and then miraculously they don't post an update for months in it like it would have never existed !
It's all about merit > ranking >signature!

I am pleading that the moderators should look into my account and see that i have been organic and have made good contributions to the forum.

to be honest I think this suggestion will just be a waste of time but If you actually believe that you have made a good contribution to the forum, then go ahead and edit the original post and list your contribution to the forum. perhaps you can convince people and vouch for you that you are an important member of the forum and should not be banned. just a note that just because you think a post, thread, etc... is helpful does not mean that other people or the mods will see it the same way.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

The banned account was only a junior member, not like in other cases where it is a high rank account and the appeal is understood because to rank up a new one would take time (breaking the rules again with ban evasion).

I am pleading that the moderators should look into my account and see that i have been organic and have made good contributions to the forum.

to be honest think this suggestion will just be a waste of time but If you actually believe that you have made a good contribution to the forum <...>

I don't think a junior member can be considered to have made a good contribution. Arguably more good than bad but I don't think it fits in this description of theymos.

<...> but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.

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.

I think that 'as a whole' applies to people who have been on the forum a lot longer than the OP.

Stay calm. Your blood might rise because of this one. Please. Don't stress yourself too much on this newbie.

Anyway, how in the hell is this newbie asking for a second chance where in fact, he's been caught plagiarizing!!!!!. If only I can send a voice message here, I will do it, so he can feel the anger that I'm feeling right now!!! In order for you to get merits, you need to plagiarize? Try posting a religious quote OP, or maybe say things related to religion. That might help you.. help you not to get unbanned. Just kidding, but I hope OP is still ok. Find another forum OP, or maybe go to altcointalk.

I am pleading that the moderators should look into my account and see that i have been organic and have made good contributions to the forum.

Since most of the users who are banned because of plagiarism are newbies, or Jr. Members, I wonder if there's a case here where a user who has been a good contributor in this forum got caught plagiarizing, and yet got unbanned? Please enlighten me. Thanks.
