Title: Woke up this morning...Blamed VOD Post by: BlindMayorBitcorn on March 22, 2015, 10:24:23 AM Most recently blaming VOD for: CRIMES
Title: Re: Woke up this morning... Post by: Snorek on March 22, 2015, 12:39:40 PM ...to 11 deleted posts. Mostly watching bumps and approving grins, so I admit it wasn't much of a contribution. You should be very happy that you are not banned. I've seen many people banned recently and I'm seriously scared right now. I don't know how many posts I can write without being assaulted by banning team.But still, feel a bit violated :o Title: Re: Woke up this morning... Post by: SaltySpitoon on March 27, 2015, 12:47:40 AM Are you sure you don't want this in Meta? You can be banned for excessive bumping of a thread, as the rule is you may bump a thread every 24 hours, but if you mean you had old bumps deleted from a thread where you are the OP, you will never be banned for that. We just ask people to delete their old bumps to help declutter threads.
And excessive bumping isn't prosecuted as heavy handedly as spamming. Its annoying and against the rules, but you tend to get a verbal warning about it before any further action is taken.

People conveniently forget to delete bumps when they are enrolled in them. Title: Re: Woke up this morning...

I don't know how many posts I can write without being assaulted by banning team. That's the main reason I don't have a paid signature. It increases your probability of being banned significantly!

It increases your probability of being banned significantly! I dont think thats true. The signature does not the ban make, the post quality is what does it. The correlation is between signature advertisers and low post quality, not so much bans to signature advertisers. While having a big flashy advertisement does make your spam stick out more to moderators, if you aren't spamming then it doesn't matter. Title: Re: Woke up this morning... Post by: Quickseller on March 27, 2015, 01:50:50 AM 3 days wasn't so bad. It freed up more time for lurking. You were banned for three days for bump spam? Do you know if the bumps were actually made within less then 24 hours of each other? Title: Re: Woke up this morning... Post by: nizamcc on March 27, 2015, 10:35:16 AM and that is why i do not keep a signature in my profile.
why advertise someone for small amount of money and big risk of getting bnneed? Title: Re: Woke up this morning...

I think you are wrong, because it is not against the forum rules "wear" a signature ad. Isn't it? The two important rules here are : -don't spam, -don't write insubstantial posts. Simple?

Do you know if the bumps were actually made within less then 24 hours of each other? Yes. I don't know, there was no warning. Just a big red box informing me that my posts are too insubstantial. I can live with that :-\ Title: Re: Woke up this morning... Post by: BIG Tyrese on March 27, 2015, 11:35:25 AM You should be very happy that you are not banned.

Vod, if you had a paid signature (with your current kind of posts) you wouldn't be banned. I don't know there seems to be a massive debate on this subject. A lot of people have it in for people who are "whoring" out their signature space and seem to think they should be banned for exploiting it or the signature itself should be banned. I don't think there's anything wrong with signature advertising as long as it's not obstructive. Your signatre along with all the other paid signatures are very obstructive and annoying. Thankfully grue has come up with a script which hides those so there has been a temp soultion. I think there should be some restrictions put in place to make the signatures less annoying.

We rarely see someone get banned for making 15 posts a day (decent ones) without a signature do we? Title: Re: Woke up this morning...

We rarely see someone get banned for making 15 posts a day (decent ones) without a signature do we? We don't go searching out people who have signatures, people are just more prone to report people with flashy advertisement signatures as their spam is more noticable. How it works: someone reports a person's post in a thread for being off topic/spam whatever. We then read the thread to see if it is indeed off topic/insubstantial/against the rules if that is needed (Ie not a +1 or smiley face post) then we check that user's post history to see if they have a history of insubstantial posts. If not, the post is deleted and we move on. If they do, then the moderator posts the ban request and reason with evidence for Badbear/Theymos to review (As only Admins can temporary ban people (thank's SMF!)) it is then reviewed by an admin who does the banning. Something to note, the only people the public really see get banned are those who make threads about it in meta. With that, the new trend of spamming in Meta as moderators are more careful about removing posts in Meta, giving the people "appealing their spam bans" the ability to spam posts while they are banned. I'd agree with the fact that there are more people with paid advertisement signatures that are banned daily than those without, but I could probably argue that they have more motivation to break the rules than anyone else, and people with paid sigs also make up a very large portion of the community. My point being, if you have never been banned, you then get a paid advertising signature and continue posting how you have in the past, you aren't going to get a ban just because of the advertising signature. If you let your post quality deteriorate to meet quotas as tends to happen, then you do risk being banned. Title: Re: Woke up this morning...

I think people are referring to this post when they say that having a signature tends to increase the chances of getting banned. After all, doesn't the ban message say "Insubstantial Post + Signature Campaign"? There are people who just don't post very well in general, post "too much", or don't really have anything to say, they just like to participate in the community and post. This itself is fine. But when you add an ad to these kinds of posters, it's difficult or impossible to tell if they just aren't quality posters or if they are attempting to boost their post count. I used to err on the side of caution here because I do not want to ban the former, just the latter, but too many of the latter are slipping through the cracks because it's very difficult to gauge someone's intentions. This is the main thing that has changed lately. Title: Re: Woke up this morning...

And it makes me feel dirty :-[
If it's about the sig or whatever I'd be happy to remove it. I'm on record somewhere as being against them on principle. But I was just invited by PM to this one. Seemed legit. IDK @Abyrnes81 I'm not reporting anything here. Signature campaings are an officially sanctioned feature of the forum are they not? I'm offering to remove it Title: Re: Woke up this morning...

Although the staff seems to miss some of the "good spammers". That's what I have stated in my previous comment. Not sure if you read that one entirely or understood it clearly. The users who post useless and off-topic replies are more likely to get a ban than those who posts more often but do not post insubstantial ones. Well it is clearly stated in the forum guidelines, and one user (or staff, can't clearly remember who) stated that anyone without the signature ad in their signature space is fine to engage in different topics and may reply off-topic posts as well, as their intentions are somewhat related to join the discussion. Whereas, those who wear signature banners and spams or posts insubstantial replies/posts are more likely to get a ban because it is a way to boost their post count. Title: Re: Woke up this morning...Banished Post by: BlatchMajorBitstaff on April 05, 2015, 05:42:42 AM What constitutes an insubstantial post anyway? A member opens a thread about an avatar change, I respond, we have a few laughs.
An autopost bot bumps a speculation thread to lobby status and we entertain ourselves when there are no walls to observe. Then there is the answer questions with questions thread. I love that thread!

However, NLC is a troll and "be a troll" isn't against the forum rules, isn't it (correct me). Title: Re: Woke up this morning...Banished Post by: BlatchMajorBitstaff on April 05, 2015, 08:03:25 PM Hi, please don't turn into a power tripping mod Theymos, I've had enough of them lately, what you guys should be worrying about is all these spammers and hackers gathering on these boards to con people out of their Bitcoins. Trying to appeal to over-sensitive muppets who don't know about the ignore function is just going to be a waste of time and will also lead to all sorts of bullshit rules that will swiftly empty this forum. This corresponds to my current thinking on the subject. The quote can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=14356.60 I was really vocal about the inclusion of so-called investor-based-games in the forum, for example. Basically they just up and legitimized ponzi schemes by devoting a whole, semantically misguided category to it. But I get banned for a giraffe ::) Title: Re: Woke up this morning...Banished Post by: abyrnes81 on April 05, 2015, 08:29:26 PM Hi, please don't turn into a power tripping mod Theymos, I've had enough of them lately, what you guys should be worrying about is all these spammers and hackers gathering on these boards to con people out of their Bitcoins.

Title: Re: Woke up this morning... Post by: Quickseller on April 05, 2015, 11:04:33 PM To ban a contributing member like BlindMayorBitcorn for basically nothing, and to allow the rampant trollfest from NLC&sockpuppets, is in my opinion completely insane, makes no sense whatsoever, and is really really backwards. If you guys care about this forum, reinstating newbie jail, would be a better move than banning BlindMayorBitcorn for a +1 or whatever. I have been in touch with the admins regarding this in the past. Also the constant references to pedophilia seem to be ok? complete overt racism is ok, spamming the thread for months and months on end is ok... but a +1 or a short post is not?

However, NLC is a troll and "be a troll" isn't against the forum rules, isn't it (correct me). I would say that based on the fact that he had a history of not wearing a paid signature, was actively asked to participate in the paid signature deal (assuming this can be substantiated), and the fact that he has made 58 out of the 60 required posts to receive payment in only 5 days (but has 30 days to finish) would mean that he would probably not fall under the category as a "signature spammer" and a 'paid sig + insubstantial posts' ban is probably not in order.

I obviously do not have any authority to unban you however that is my point of view.
Title: Re: Woke up this morning... Post by: Carra23 on April 06, 2015, 12:58:40 PM I would like to mention here that OP was in my earlier campaign, and tends to post a lot. The requirement for that campaign was 100 posts/month but he went several times over it. If you see his posts he is genuinely having a fun chat, and while this might be considered considered spam by some, I would tell all those to lighten up.
Signature spam is a big problem, but if anyone is after the OP that is a waste of time IMHO. If anything I hope that he is unbanned because otherwise we are getting too serious.

If you see his posts he is genuinely having a fun chat, and while this might be considered considered spam by some, I would tell all those to lighten up. His posts are quite good compared to what I usually come across. It's quite unfortunate when the wrong people get banned. As previously stated some are in signature campaigns and freely doing over 40 posts a day, which are much worse than OP.Signature spam is a big problem, but if anyone is after the OP that is a waste of time IMHO.

Post by: Muhammed Zakir on April 06, 2015, 04:39:43 PM =snip= How come that nobody from staff had any input so far in the thread? Staffs have made many posts earlier. I don't think they need to repeat everytime. If you read what SaltySpitoon and BadBear said, you will understand it is hard to know who is "really" spamming. I think this ban isn't long, so it is better to wait for the expiration. Title: Re: Woke up this morning... Post by: BlatchMajorBitstaff on April 07, 2015, 01:12:34 AM @LaudaM and Carra23

It's been difficult. I hope to see you all on the outside soon. TBH I don't know what I will do differently this time around. I hope to get myself a place and a job soon, become a contributing member of society. Maybe even find myself a nice girl and settle down on an acre of land somewhere with a mule.

Its been a minute since I seen you man. But yeah, for sure it was him loading the dice... I personally seen it with my two eyes. He was behind the barn chilling with the donkey loading the dice in his favor. Full disclosure: As soon as I seen him loading the dice I ran up to him and we struck a deal to cut me in on the profits in lieu of me making an upfront payment to him. #GoGetter #MoneyStacker #MoveMaker #BreadBaker Title: Re: Woke up this morning...Blamed VOD Post by: BlindMayorBitcorn on April 11, 2015, 03:03:11 AM The forum gave me a week to think about all the things I had done.
