Another thread, seriously? You're just another alt account that's bitter.

For the record, forum policy is not a majority vote. A poll won't matter, so you can go ahead and close this thread now.

I'm not trolling. Go through my post history and find a single post that I'm trolling. But you on the other hand, go through your own post history and see that you post nothing but garbage. And now you're making a redundant thread.

And lets assume most people vote no bribing allowed. And what exactly will that accomplish?

"Bribe" alone is too vague. Bribes are fine. The only issue might be in what the bribe's for. It's kind of like "hate crimes" as far as I can tell. Anything bribe which'd be worth discipline should already be worth discipline, with bribe irrelevant.

The poll is regarding this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753879.0;all).

The issue regarding bribes is that it is very difficult to determine which mods took which actions, or that an action was even taken. For example the modlog (https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php) has 1,380 posts/replies deleted, 91 users "nuked", 110 threads removed, and 7 users "autobaned". I believe the modlog goes back 14 days. Some of these actions may be overlapping each-other (I am not sure if nuking a user would also make all their posts show up on the modlog as deleted). This is roughly 1,600 actions over 14 days (lets call it 100 actions per day). I only saw one new thread about someone having their posts deleted yesterday, so 99 actions were taken without anyone complaining. This makes it difficult to know if an action a mod has taken would be worth discipline.

Google searching "define bribe" results in the following
Quote
persuade (someone) to act in one's favor, typically illegally or dishonestly, by a gift of money or other inducement.
If someone is being bribed for something that the person receiving the bribe should/could be doing anyway then it would really not be a bribe, but rather giving money in exchange for nothing.

What about gifts and donations? How can you prove that a certain staff accept a bribe? :)

When there are no evidences to this effect then the issue of brides can't really come to play.
