Title: Stolen Poker content Post by: Co1981Co on January 26, 2020, 08:21:25 AM Hi people,
I noticed a lot of people selling stolen poker content on this site. Is this allowed on bitcointalk.org?? A few examples: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182442.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5196881.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194300.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5203763.0 Title: Re: Stolen Poker content Post by: DarkDays on January 26, 2020, 08:43:44 AM Seems like nobody cares here on the forum, no DT member stands up to tag these individuals.
Conversely, people lose their shit if users plagiarize or do a variety of other far less serious offenses. That's Bitcointalk for ya. Title: Re: Stolen Poker content Post by: Co1981Co on January 26, 2020, 08:49:34 AM It's highly frustrating. I bought a couple of courses which costed me 2.5k+ and seeing them here for a few bucks... Well, I think you can imagine how that feels like...
I'm strongly concidering to notify the content creators regarding these posts... Title: Re: Stolen Poker content Post by: DarkDays on January 26, 2020, 08:59:39 AM It's highly frustrating. I bought a couple of courses which costed me 2.5k+ and seeing them here for a few bucks... Well, I think you can imagine how that feels like... I'm strongly concidering to notify the content creators regarding these posts... I encourage this. Though I would do some background research on the sellers first. The most likely case is that they're anonymous so nothing will come of it. Alternatively, maybe make a thread in the scam accusation section of Bitcointalk, and some DT members might tag them, or create a flag warning users about them. Though I wouldn't bet on it. As I said, here on BTT some simple plagiarism is a mortal sin, whereas grand theft is often accepted (so long as it doesn't concern other BTT members).

Title: Re: Stolen Poker content Post by: rhomelmabini on January 26, 2020, 10:11:21 AM To be honest, it isn't allowed and there's no way the forum will notice that those were stolen contents. If I were to the buyer since this isn't a selling platform I suggest to hire a trusted escrow that's way more reliable to do. The thing is even if DT tag them they'll just continue making another account to continue such fraudulent acts. I better buy on a trusted site in regards to these kinds of contents rather than taking the risk in buying here in the forum with some Newbies with no history of successful trades.
Title: Re: Stolen Poker content Post by: Co1981Co on January 26, 2020, 10:16:18 AM Yeah, I get you. I did notify some staff here. It should be easy to figure out this is stolen as most of the original creators have a good reputation, a high quality website and wouldn't sell their content with a 90% discount on some forum. I see quite some forums who are banning such a people and it shouldn't be too hard to do the same here imo.
