--- Please disable newbie create locked topics ---



I know that there is not in this section, but to protect it your money.
There are a lot of crooks and there is inherently no reduction instrument

This is funny coming from a "newbie"

+1 good idea!

This thread belongs in Bitcoin Forum > Other > Meta (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0)

These are other threads in Meta with similar concerns and/or proposals:

2015/01/26	Proposal: Disable "normal users" from being able to lock Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=936185.0)	Your proposal would extend this to all forum sections.
2015/01/13	ban self moderator threads (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=922989.0)	While on a different subject, a comment points out the practice of locking and self-moderating a thread in order to bump it up without discussion.
2014/03/12	Topic locks (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=513213.0)	A proposal to disable the ability to self-lock threads unless the user is added to a group allowing self-locking of threads.
2012/10/06	Clearly indicate that thread is locked, to help warn unsuspecting users (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115664.0)	This would be a milder form of your proposal - warning users, rather than disabling the functionality.

Given the recency of the first thread, I would recommend continuing general discussion on self-locked topics in that thread.

Additionally, while not made explicit in your post, you may wish to post a thread in Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Trading Discussion > Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0).  However, a pre-existing scam-accusation against sam4aplex (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=732773.msg10385557#msg10385557) made 2 days ago exists within a generic thread.

Ok you're right, there is a lot of such topic.
But nothing happens. Still many people losing money .D Put here at least one rule and create prohibition Self moderator in Market Place ..

In Mining me only 1 1/2 years. Subscribe to this forum from the beginning. Registered'm only 1/2. Before me was enough just to read and helped me a lot ... But I'm quite angry when I see that you are destroying some people your efforts.

You are the best forum on this issue but .......

That I do not mind Newbie procedure must be earned :D ;D

And he's hard at work deleting posts that call him out, too.

just cleaning my sales thread

It don't matter what you say . . I'm making sales $$$ :)

I used to care about feedback . . . but customers don't seem to

I also sell items on ebay . . .

cheers guys :)

I have mentiomed showing proof of your items, but you never have responded. Also post proof of you selling on ebay. And all of your positive feedback is from newbie members. Your site has found to be a scam multiple times yet you never comment on the scam accusations.

I too find it disturbing that openly running scams here and locking self moderated threads is being allowed. I get that the forum doesn't want the liability of having to protect users, but turning a blind eye after a scam has been confirmed doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth. Not moderating possible scams is one thing, while allowing confirmed scams to operate is quite another.

Funny, you didn't delete the posts from the "newbies"(aka your shill accounts) saying that they got their items, just the ones that made you look bad.

Mods don't seem all that active in here...

I was wondering why an old post was deleted this morning... Give up guy.

I agree 100% on this...we should restrict newbie accounts and remove self moderation.

if 10 peple with good reputation call you a scamme, then most probably your are a SCAMMER!

he is a well known scammer, dont click any of his links

indeed I want my sales thread to look good , thats the point . . . im still not a scammer lol

haters be haters , Don't care ... im making $$$

Pretty sure both Anandtech and Hardforum require you to have a few posts(like >20 or something) before you can post a thread in the trading section.  Might be a step in the right direction?

I'm newbie. And I do not mind the rules. Why destroy your forum people who are here for a few days.
It should be slightly adjusted rules.

scammers will always find a way , save your time and energy

If i was a scammer i would buy hero accounts for like 0.1 BTC each

minimum of 100 will be best

Yeah, I agree. At least 50-75 as that will deter the lazy scammers at least. Setting up a post count limit will not get rid of all of them.

most of them!
some ip bans will slow them down more

you cant perm ban ip's due to people using tor etc

Now he's bumping his own thread to the top every few minutes and deleting the previous post.  Do we not have a mod in this forum at all?

That's terrible , phone the police ! LMAO

You can't perma-ban them, but if Bitcointalk begins to IP ban, then users will have to begin paying fees to sign up, which might start fending off some of the scammers.

I like what others have suggested. Sites like Anandtech and [H] require people to have x number of posts before posting a classified. Overclock.net is a bit tougher on newbies and classifieds, and require 35 "rep" before users can post a classified. Rep is earned from posting useful posts, sort of like upvotes on Reddit, but they seem rarer to get.

Maybe a reputation system similar to OCN, and requiring a reputation point count >= 15 would cut down on these scams. I know it would take a lot of effort to implement something like this, and some people wouldn't like it, but it might be a decent solution.

Please note that the scam thread that aplexfarm.com was added to is run by some mad man lol . . Apparently according to him  I run 30 scam websites and have made millions of $$$.I am not a scammer , not worth millions $$ and I have only ever bought 5 domains in my whole life.Please read the scam thread to understand how crazy he is . . . and then you can try understand what I have to deal with as a small business owner.

here is the link again

Ebay is different. You can get your money back from them if the purchase is not as is or described.

It's called spamming. :/  Imagine if everyone did that, we'd just have a ton of topics fighting for the top spot all the time instead of being able to tell when something new actually happens in a thread.  Not that you're legitimate anyway so I doubt you care, but as a general rule you shouldn't be bumping your own thread if it's still on the front page.

I have 30 ipads listed on ebay , 30 is the max number of items I can sell at one time :)

If i was not legit then this would be a crazy idea , no ?

I still don't really understand the scam accusations . . .

Am i a spammer , yes . . . will I do anything to make a sale . . . well yes :P

a scammer I am not :)

later guys . . I got work to do , take it easy

New scam coin(s).  New scam site(s).  Same old same old.

Chicken nuggets are only $1

So it's safe to say he is a spammer and a doucher?

I would not go anywhere near this guy, obvious scammer.

They taking the piss now. Locking threads what's that all about if it isn't a scam. Also no positive feedback apart from new spam accounts.

Scamming prick just left me some negative feedback  ::)

Well our moderator didn't not log since like 10 days ...

I'd help mod this forum...I'm on here all the time.

Can we ban this guy and his multiple alternate accounts already?  He's got 3 different threads going and keeps spamming to keep them at the top :/

ban me . . I just come back . . good sales and traffic here :)

Why don't you prove you get sales. I doubt you do. There are multiple people saying you are a scammer. Any one with a brain will see the negative trust and go away. Show pictures of proof or stop saying that you get good sales here.

I have nothing to prove

Its impossible to find anyone who has been scammed because im not a scammer lol !!

Traffic from here converts well . .

Confirmed scammer. 

or more likely is the fact you havent sold anything yet because your scam is so obvious no one is falling for it.

I took care of it, but the problem with this is, people will usually report the bump itself, but when they delete the bump to repost it, guess what happens to the report? So make sure you report the original post or a post that isn't likely to get deleted, not the bump itself.

My understanding is that people with scammer tags (when they were still around) were not able to edit or delete their posts. Why not add starting a self moderated thread to that list and implement these restrictions to users under certain activity levels.
