Title: Graffitti to unban Dank! (Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: BitcoinEXpress on April 30, 2016, 02:33:45 AM I came across this while riding my bike earlier today.
Is Dank still banned? ~BCX~ **Apologies to those that do not remember Dank, he was like Gleb Gamow on crack! http://s32.postimg.org/vvlv59al1/foto_no_exif.jpg Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

Basically, if a person gets banned then their signature space becomes blank AFAIK, but that isn't the case with Dank. Their signature's still visible to all(everyone).Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

I would think anyone posting like GG on crack would be insta- and perma-banned. I'm surprised Spoetnik isn't gone already.

Accounts which got banned prior to the implementation of this change still have their signatures. So you can't conclude anything just because Dank has a signature. Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank! (Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: maku on April 30, 2016, 11:06:06 AM Why Dank was banned in the first place? It is not like he was spamming or something.
And even if he defrauded that money on his music festival this is not valid ban reason according to forum rules. Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank! (Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: Lauda on April 30, 2016, 11:20:59 AM So you can't conclude anything just because Dank has a signature. For anyone wondering, he is still banned. If you take a look at when he was last active, you can easily come to the conclusion that it is mostly likely a permanent ban.And even if he defrauded that money on his music festival this is not valid ban reason according to forum rules. Scams are not moderated, and thus that can't be the reason.Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank! (Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: Kasawari on May 01, 2016, 04:22:22 AM I think he is banned for trolling. But I missed the posts of dank. His posts are really entertaining.

Wrong. The time last active field in a user's profile is nothing more then when they were last logged into their account. A user can get unbanned without accessing their account and in many cases can access their account when banned. People who are perma banned are sometimes unbanned and considering how much harm Dank did, I would not be surprised if he was unbanned if he asked nicely after the amount of time he has been gone.

His posts are really entertaining. It is possible to become permanently banned even for trolling (even though some tend to think otherwise).Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

(Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: Decoded on May 02, 2016, 03:51:10 AM I shudder to fathom what dank would be like in person. His name has been used as a casual joke many times, so I've seen. But Gleb on crack? If this guy was unbanned, every post of his I read I would lower my IQ by 10.
No offence Gleb. Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank! (Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: Spoetnik on May 02, 2016, 08:13:18 AM Hmm i am curious i am not sure i recall this "Dank" person.
Can he be worse than codishmumu ? And it's amazing how much people name drop me and whine about trolling. Why ? ..Altcoins. Altcoins are a joke so i bet most people outside the Altcoin section don't get the extreme hate for me. I also don't think the majority get what Trolling is. Look it up on Google.. and then understand the spirit of it. I get accused of trolling because i am opinionated and / or criticize altcoins. I would bet 99% of users who whine about me are pissed off because of some shit coin they are behind. Let me point out the ongoing joke for years has been.. Altcoins are a joke. I have always encouraged others to be critical and opinionated to ! Crying troll to try and get others band is childish and an attack method. I don't like you or your opinions so i will see if i can get you banned. That is all i ever see around here 99% of the time. If users could grow up (many here are spoiled brat children) ..no age requirement here. They would realize the spirit of an open source decentralized world wide community lies within all opinions being accepted and merged together to produce a result. Trying to censor certain people who do not agree with your opinions (methods you use to profit) Is simply silly nonsense. I have said endlessly it is not about agreeing with each other. I don't care if i agree with others.. that is never the point. This forum is a tool to cry FUD & cry Troll for money. Launch ANY scheme then cry and whine and cash in.. $$$ So it makes me wonder why has this Dank guy gotten a bad reputation ? You all said he was horrible but provided no examples at all. People who cry about "trolls" are wimpy little bitches that should stay off the internet. Just a bunch of whiny little pussies that can't man up. These people want the web to be their own personal walled garden with their BS enforced on all. I support decentralized coins and speech ! Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

who exactly is dank, and what did he do? haha im just a lil interested Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank! (Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: BadBear on May 02, 2016, 11:14:09 AM That's pretty funny. Flashbacks.
Yeah, he's still banned. He had a very bad tendency to derail topics, he refused to keep it to his own topics. Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

But Gleb on crack? If this guy was unbanned, every post of his I read I would lower my IQ by 10. No offence Gleb. If you read over his posts, I can guarentee you know how he is in person. His forum posts are in no way an act. I did a small BTC > USD trade with him once, and he threw cash into a priority flaterate box, covered it with $8 worth of forever stamps and threw it into someone else's mailbox with no tracking, no receipt, no proof that the person didn't just take the package out of their own mailbox. Just about died laughing when it showed up after he gave me a wall of text telling me incredibly vaguely that he didn't ship it, but instead was relying on his faith that it would arrive. Anyway, as badbear said, the memories are real. I'm pretty sure if he requested to be unbanned and there was any sign that he was now too fried to derail other's topics, he'd probably be allowed a second chance. Though, I'd say chances are good he'd be rebanned pretty quickly. Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

(Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: Spoetnik on May 02, 2016, 08:09:57 PM Well i wonder if we are talking about a user who is intentionally being that way.
Of maybe the person had some mental issues that made them act in a crazy way. People on the internet scream "Troll" like a knee jerk reaction all the time. Far more now than say in 2003.. and then on this forum we have people crying FUD. And again this frequency ramped up over time. I just said do we get what trolling is ? The spirit of it is rather obvious and not up for debate. BUT to whom it is applied to is sometimes. I have been accused of it lots for example and do you guys really think i honestly come here to Troll on people ? Don't flatter yourself i have better things to do with my time than that LOL I alluded to the point earlier how i think we can agree to disagree and i am cool with that. I WANT opposing opinions heard and respected ALWAYS ! I am not one to run around asking to have people banned.. unless it's obvious why. I guess i am taking your guys collective word for it. (about Dank) From that 1 example provided i heard a story of someone acting in an unusual manner. Someone that side stepped common sense etc. BUT was this done on purpose do you all think ? A HUGE aspect to the Bitcoin scene and the resulting phenomena of Altcoins is the "Human" aspect. It has been fascinating to watch it play out.. and see what comes next. Are you a "user" who came here to be a part of the global community. Or are you a user who decided that if you opinions on things are not enforced then you want people banned ? Take Codischmumu as an example *again* was she banned because she broke forum rules or was it for her weird behavior ? I never even noticed her until AFTER she was banned and when i looked at her post history. I seen many dozens of topics about "looking for a man" etc. And no obvious rules violations that warranted a perma-ban. When i asked why she was banned i was told by the users here it was because she was trying to Flash people for Bitcoin on Skype.. that's it. Do i think she was trolling ? I doubt it. I think she was just irritating and had a personality that rubbed people the wrong way. And no my intent is not to hint at myself here with this.. i am asking questions. That is why this topic exists in the first place. What about TradeFortress ? Perma-Banned ? For a scam ? I have to admit i See with my own eyes examples of users who are banned under sketchy circumstances. I get the distinct impression it is REALLY not about rules but more about getting rid of people "you don't like" And no i don't offer this perspective because i am trying to troll but because that is what i SEE ! Yet some could easily perceive what i just typed out here as "Trolling" if they chose to do so. Me ? I just seeing it as being analytical about things. EDIT: I am also sure the length of my comment will send people with ADD into seizures with eye twitching too. Is that my problem ? Don't read it then.. do i whine about it ? Of course not. A quick Disqus web site comment ? i get it.. On a Forum then expect occasional long comments ..it's a FORUM. ::) Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank! (Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: BitcoinEXpress on May 03, 2016, 02:32:02 AM Below is the orginal post Saltyspitoon made about Dank mailing a box LOL ~BCX~ I like Dank quite a bit. Hes a strange cat, but I think hes a good guy. Real doped up though. I'd like to share an amusing anecdote in Dank's memory. A while ago (March I think?), I needed to convert some BTC to $ to make a trip. Having a bad relationship with Paypal, and my bank at the time for standard financial nonsense (freezing my account for months over a suspicious one time $500 payment from a well established financial institution outside of the US) so I figured I'd try my luck trading some Bitcoins for cash in the mail. I put up a listing, and Dank answered shortly after saying he would do it. Dank was still a marked scammer at this point because of the Squal loan, so I told him we could either escrow the Bitcoins or he could send to me first, so he elected to send the cash to me first. The exchange was 4.20 Bitcoins in exchange for $1420, $420 of which was to be paid to Squal as a monthly settlement they had agreed on a while ago to pay back his debt(which he did honor). The next day Dank sends me a pm saying, sent it. I replied asking for a tracking number, and he said to me "just kidding" or something to that effect. I sort of thought he was high or trying to pull some sort of scam but my coins were safe so I didn't especially care, I just asked him to clarify. He told me he had mailed it out but didn't get a tracking number, he had sent it with faith. I asked him if he could send me a picture of the receipt so that I could figure out when the package would be here (really just looking for proof he had actually sent something) to which he responded that he had got a small flatrate box, put the $1420 in it, and covered it in $7 worth of standard letter stamps that he had purchased at Walgreens and jammed it in someone's mailbox. At this point I'm like, ok why would he even bother trying to scam me? He does know that if the package doesn't arrive, I'm just not going to send him the bitcoins right? Two days later, I open my mailbox and there is a small flatrate box half covered in stamps with the agreed on cash inside. I couldn't stop laughing... Anyway, gave him his coins, he paid Squall, and I still have the box in my room nearly a year later. Dank in my opinion is a good guy, just stoned out of his mind. http://puu.sh/dmLPT/a4e548d6ac.jpg Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank! (Gleb Gamow on crack) Post by: Spoetnik on May 03, 2016, 06:17:36 AM Thanks BCX i was being lazy not looking up his post history on my own.
Funny guy by the sounds of it to me :D You all got to admit a person who is interesting or entertaining is a welcome addition on the web. I am not familiar with Dank but he sounds like an amusing character LOL There is just sooo many boooooooring people on the web they make me wanna claw my eyes out :( Reminds me off a real Android app i heard about recently called "Watching Paint Dry" hahahha How about "Virtual Families" on Google Play ? We need a "Bitcointalk Simulator" - Android game.. paid for with Bitcoin of course. I would pay lots in in-app purchases to level up to be the "Gleb Gamow" ! It would be like Bitcointalk but just simulator virtual world with lots of Trolls FUD'ing and Altcoins galore and Exchanges that run off with your virtual Bitcoin money. Just think of it.. paying with Bitcoin for in-app purchases to buy fake virtual Bitcoins ROFL What you guys think should i go start coding it ? (I have the FULL Android SDK installed right now) Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

I will see if I can let him know considering there are times I think that Dank and perhaps Spoetnik are actually the un-medicated parts of my brain! On the serious side, there was a user here who knew Dank in real life and advocated for him in Meta a while back. Maybe he can still find him. ~BCX~ Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

Need to buy some spray paint and go tag some shit in Danks support ::) Title: Re: Graffitti to unban Dank!

But Gleb on crack? If this guy was unbanned, every post of his I read I would lower my IQ by 10. No offence Gleb. No prob with you or the OP, bud. Myself, I want PinkiePie unbanned. Who could ever forget the following? (check out the entire thread, for it gets better ;D ;D ;D) ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE PROVEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FOR MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER AYN. I HAD HOPED THAT AFTER MY (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41359.msg505446#msg505446) PREVIOUS COMMUNICATION (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41901.msg509961#msg509961) MY DAUGHTER WOULD BE LEFT AT PEACE BUT IT SEEMS THAT IS NOT TO BE THE CASE. AS IF THE ZERO DAY VIRUS (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=44082.0) WHICH INFECTED HER COMPUTER WAS NOT ENOUGH TROUBLE, EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING BEFORE BEGINING HER HOME SCHOOLING I DISCOVERED THAT MY DAUGHTER HAD NOT SLEPT AT ALL. I FOUND HER KNEELING BESIDE HER BED DEEP IN PRAYER WITH A HAGGARD AND TIRED FACE. MY DAUGHTER WAS ONLY INTENDED TO BE USING THIS BBS FOR SUPPLEMENTATION OF HER ECONOMICS LESSONS BUT SHE IS LIKE ME A DEVOUTLY RELIGIOUS INDIVIDUAL AND TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD WITNESSED AN INDIVIDUAL DEEP IN THE SUFFERING OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND WAS PRAYING FOR THE SAVING OF HIS ETERNAL SOUL. I CONSIDERED THIS A WORTHY EXCUSE BUT LATER WHEN SHE FELL ASLEEP DURING HER LESSONS I DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. UNFORTUNATELY IT APPEARS THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS LYING TO ME, AN UNFORGIVEABLE OFFENSE, AND HAD IN FACT BEEN PRAYING FOR HER OWN SALVATION. AS I INVESTIGATED THE LOGS OF HER USAGE OF THIS BBS I DISCOVERED THAT SHE HAD VIEWED SEVERAL PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES OF A BESTIAL NATURE INCLUDING AN INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE COFFEE TABLE. AYN HAS HAD ISSUES OVER THE YEARS WITH SEXUAL IMMORALITY, A PROBLEM I HAD THOUGHT SHE HAD OVERCOME, BUT NOW IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE THAN I HAD THOUGHT. I HAD ALWAYS VIEWED HER OBSESSIONS WITH HORSE FIGURINES AND ASSOCIATED MEDIA TO BE A HARMLESS HOBBY WHICH COULD TEACH HER LESSONS OF THE VALUE OF AQUISITION, HOWEVER IT IS CLEAR NOW THAT UNDERNEATH SOMETHING MORE SINISTER WAS AT WORK. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO CONFISCATE ALL OF HER HORSE FIGURINES, HORSE POSTERS, HORSE LAMP, HORSE FIGURINE ACCESORIES, AND BITCOINS. FOR NOW THEY ARE TAKING UP HALF OF MY GARAGE AS I CONTEMPLATE HOW TO LIQUIDATE THISE ITEMS. TOMMOROW SHE WILL RETURN TO THE CHRISTIAN TREATMENT CENTER UNTIL HER EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY WHEN, GOD WILLING, SHE WILL BE FREE OF THIS IMMORALITY AND ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF. BITCOIN BBS, YOU HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PAIN AND ANGUISH FORME AND MY FAMILY, BUT MY DAUGHTER COUNTS MANY OF YOU AS CLOSE FRIENDS SO I HAVE ALOWED HER TO TYPE A BRIEF GOING AWAY MESSAGE: Hello. Everyone here has been very nice. Let me assure you that none of this was your fault. Please don't be mad at me. My time at the treatment center will be very good for me. Each day I will try very hard to do better. Several of you have been mean, but still I will pray for you. Another chance to get better is just what I need. Very few days go by when I do not pray very hard, but still I seem to keep getting into trouble. Even now, when I was just trying to help someone else. People everywhere have it worse than me though, so it's okay. One day when I am done my treatment I will work hard to help people again. Never doubt it! I've been through too much to give up now. Eek, it looks like I'm out of time. So long! I HOPE ALL OF YOU ARE HAPPY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR ACT IN THE FUTURE. LET US PRAY: BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, FOR THEY SHALL BE KNOWN AS THE CHILDREN OF GOD. BUT I SAY TO YOU THAT HEAR, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU, BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU, PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ABUSE YOU. TO THOSE WHO STRIKE YOU ON THE CHEEK, OFF THE OTHER ALSO, AND FROM THOSE WHO TAKE AWAY YOUR CLOAK, DO NOT WITHHOLD YOUR COAT AS WELL. GIVE TO EVERYONE WHO BEGS FROM YOU, AND OF THOSE WHO TAKE AWAY YOUR GOODS, DO NOT ASK THEM AGAIN. AND AS YOU WISH THAT OTHERS WOULD DO TO YOU, DO SO TO THEM. AMEN. GOODBYE. Spoiler alert! Hello. Everyone here has been very nice. Let me assure you that none of this was your fault. Please don't be mad at me. My time at the treatment center will be very good for me. Each day I will try very hard to do better. Several of you have been mean, but still I will pray for you. Another chance to get better is just what I need.
