Title: Is this a ban deserved offense? Post by: Pffrt on May 07, 2020, 02:11:48 PM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246591.0
In this thread, OP asked someone to post and the first person to post will get the reward. According to the rules, anyone posting in a particular thread for the purpose of getting incentive is a ban worthy offense. Does this deserbe a ban? Title: Re: Is this a ban deserved offense? Post by: Jawhead999 on May 07, 2020, 02:26:23 PM IMO, first let's we wait the OP is send his funds to minairia3 (the first response). If he doesn't send the $40 to minairia3, he deserve red tagged from DT Member because he was trying to scam people

Yes, incentivizing posting is totally disallowed in the altcoin sections, and in the other sections it must be confined to Games and Rounds. So OP made that post in the wrong section. The post was not made specifically to increase post count on the thread, so maybe a ban would be heavy, but I would report the thread as being off topic.Title: Re: Is this a ban deserved offense?

The guy has posted there only for the incentive. We have seen Bitdice (Not sure) thread to be locked due to the same reason.Yes, incentivizing posting is totally disallowed in the altcoin sections, and in the other sections it must be confined to Games and Rounds.

We have seen Bitdice (Not sure) thread to be locked due to the same reason. It could belong in the "Games and Rounds" section, where it's somehow allowed. Nevertheless, that user has been posting strange stuff for a couple of days. I've seen him posting a "guide" on how to install a Core node, but said guide was really old, and surprisingly similar to another one I had found from some years ago... thread got trashed. He is also making questions about how to launch a hardware wallet, but he made another post claiming web wallets were the best (got trashed too).... There is definately something odd going on with that account; or maybe the user is simple odd and does strange stuff per se. On the meantime, most we can do is report the posts that break the rules, since he is not scamming anyone Title: Re: Is this a ban deserved offense? Post by: LoyceV on May 07, 2020, 03:13:31 PM Does this deserbe a ban? No.The "no altcoin giveaways" rule was made because of the massive spam it produced. Let's not start banning people who offer to give away Bitcoins. I read the topic, cryptoworld99 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2802185) offered to give away Bitcoin. He did it on the wrong board, but let's not start banning people for that! If giving away Bitcoin ever becomes so widespread that it is considered spam, I couldn't be happier :D Title: Re: Is this a ban deserved offense? Post by: Mbitr on May 07, 2020, 03:17:45 PM Any chance we could lock this thread ?
The member has paid into a forum charity :) Happy dayz ! Title: Re: Is this a ban deserved offense? Post by: JeromeTash on May 07, 2020, 03:20:07 PM I don't think he deserves any ban and besides he wanted only the first person who posted which doesn't promote spam in any way.
He was giving way the bitcoins with no strings attached of which the process ended up to donating to the good cause according to the developments in the thread.

I don't think he is a scammer at his post since the rules were clear. But it might make someone a scammer ;D ;D Title: Re: Is this a ban deserved offense?

We should allow him and be with us, take him as one of us and let him to learn in his own way instead of judging him in advance (saying bad stuffs which I have seen on the other thread). It's a great lesson to those who very easily classify newbie users as scmers or just don't believe them. /Excuse my typo since I am on my phone with my big fat fingers :-p Title: Re: Is this a ban deserved offense?

This is what i was thinking too. We shouldn't be too quick to judge newbie profiles. Just because the profile is a newbie rank doesn't mean someone doesn't know anything about bitcoin or how forums operate. I checked his posting history and the person seems to be knowledgeable and a bitcoin lover unlike most newbie accounts that just register to make bounty reports or promote scam links.It's a great lesson to those who very easily classify newbie users as scmers or just don't believe them. I don't see anything Odd about the profile. |
