Title: Just curious
Post by: marcotheminer on September 03, 2014, 04:52:17 PM
Not long ago (P. Gage.) used his alt account (Gleb Gamow) to spam over 10 posts containing a link to his reddit.com/r/bitcoin thread (for his 'bucket of shit' challenge). Now I reported all 10+ of these posts and subsequently they all got deleted. (no hard feelings, I was just doing my job). What I don't understand is that: IF this was the average bitcointalk member, I am close to certain they would've received a permaban for this type of behaviour. Henceforth, my question is: Why wasnt a ban handed out for blatant spam (10+ posts all similar with the same link which all got deleted by moderators)

So you are butthurt and ban evading?

IMHO most older accounts could pull something like this and not get banned. As long as your usual posts are not spam it should be fine. Every one of us has a bad (or spammy) day.

Wrong, this was barely a week ago.

I was wondering what happened to Phinnaeus Gage, was his main account banned?

He allegedly gave it to BurtW as collateral for a loan.

@OP

Oh jeez, guess what.

Here's a real nugget for you.

Life isn't always fair,
everybody doesn't always get a trophy
and some people can get away with things that others get banned for.
