[REQUEST] PROCESSING LOST ACCOUNT WHICH IS BANNED

[hypebrother]

Hello,

I am posting on behalf of my older account https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=860161 (Guvn0r)

This is a very old account which was lost, I tried to contact admin to recover and is in the process of getting it back (attached) to another email address.

The problem now is that the account is banned for 'plagiarism'.

I remember what happened back then, there was this campaign that was going on for crypto.com visa card. I was part of the signature/bounty campaign. As part of the campaign, I made a post on the India sub-section with contents from the main campaign page. Some member reported this as plagiarism.

In my defense, I was an active participant of signature/bounty campaign of crypto.com visa cards.

I already proved my ownership of the account to the admin with signed messages from old BTC address.

If mods deem this is as a genuine request to unban the old account, I will be grateful.

Thank you.

BTC

First of all, you are banned and not the account, so you should not be posting on any other account on the forum as that counts for ban evasion. You have been active on this one after your other account was banned, which breaks the forum rules.

You should send an email to the address provided in the ban message appealing the ban with the relevant information. You can also respond here with the information to help your appeal if the mods check this thread out.

The problem now is that the account is banned for 'plagiarism'.

Plagiarism is not tolerated by forum rule and even there is a second chance for plagiarism-banned accounts, it's barely given. A banned account must have net-positive contributions in the forum in order to convince forum admins to unban it with a softer punishment like signature-ban for some months or some years.

[TIPS] to avoid plagiarism

Plagiarism: If you copy some text from somewhere, then you should have a good reason for it, and you must link to the source. Doing otherwise is plagiarism. Changing a few words around doesn't matter. If we find that you plagiarized, then you absolutely will be permanently banned, even if we find it years after you did it.

Warning: Anyone caught copying other users' posts or plagiarising content from elsewhere on the web will be immediately permabanned. You shouldn't need a warning to know that this isn't acceptable under any circumstances.

Second chance information.

There's been no policy change. redsn0w wasn't permanently banned due to several factors which made me think that permabanning him would be a net negative for the forum. Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, 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.

You can make your thread in Meta board like this thread, add enough evidence of your net-positive contributions for appealing a second chance.

You can also submit a request for a second chance in a following thread.
Second chances.

If your account is banned for plagiarism, you have to write an appeal. If forum administrator finds your appeal worth giving a second chance, he will unban it. As for your account recovery, since you already have a signed message, i don't think the recovery process will be difficult.

You should be banned from this account you are currently writing from as well, as you are breaking the rule

25. Ban evasion (using or creating accounts while one of your accounts is banned) is not allowed.[e]

Thanks for the information, much appreciated.

The problem is that you have already made many posts in other threads and that means that you have been evading your ban for nearly 9 months.
According to forum rules, you can create a new account for your ban appeal, but you are not allowed to use your alt account(s) to post somewhere else.

How can someone build an account from brand new to a Snr member, yet they don't know the rule of ban evasion?

So after proving the account was indeed yours, you were asked to create an appeal thread? Do you have access to the account now and can you see an email address in the ban message?
I think it should be different from the one used in account recoveries.

As for the ban. That post was part of an active campaign that was going on for crypto.com visa cards. I posted the info from their main thread to the indian sub section as a part of the campaign.

This does not explain why you were banned, you should give more context or link the post here. We sometimes have appeals here from users that had multiple violations but they are not aware those has been caught.

recovery email asked me for a new email address for the change and it will take few more days to reflect. Precisely 4 more days.

As for the ban, the post was from around 2018. I cannot find the mentioned post on the history. I see I got a few negative trust ratings for "grammar" errors. The account I'm trying to recover is my first ever account on the forum. The crypto.com post was deleted after a member from the Indian sub-section accused plagiarism. But by definition, I was just trying to promote their campaign.

I had to give up all connections to crypto after a blanket ban by the Indian govt. It was only recently after some positive developments (regulatory) from the govt. that I decided to get back in. If you look at the post history, the account is inactive from 2019. I have also dealt with some reputed members from the forum like philipma1957, allinvain. Mods can also check for any malpractices or breach of trust from my side.

Your account was banned, not locked or lost by any hack or security issue so your case is not account recovery. It's actually a ban appeal in your case, and you must understand your situation this way.

If a post is accused as plagiarism and moderator aggreed with that report, that post will be deleted and it explains why now you can not find that post. 2018 is too long in the past and there was no third party website that archive forum posts like Loyce.club or Ninjastic.space.

You can wait for moderator's answer in this thread about your banned account and which posts triggered that permanent ban.

I can see that ownership change for your account has been queued via manual recover as shown in the seclog. I am confident the account recovery guys will help you out, and you will be able to log into your account once again. As for the ban, I am not sure if you will get a second chance, but sometimes you might, if your appeal is strong enough.
