Bitcoin Forum

Okay, here's what happened my account "francisdean" was banned for 30 days due to bump spamming. I contacted Cyrus and he told to post the problem here:

First of all, i don't do bump spamming. I only quote my previous post then delete the older one.

And if someone replies to my thread i quote them with my response included in the post.

I think it's unfair to if you call it bump spamming.

Bump spamming is for people who always say bump everyday then doesn't delete their previous post.

WHERE IS THE JUSTICE HERE? A lot of people here are worse than me. And in fact, i quote my own post then delete the previous one.

You guys wanna know what i quote?

"Hi Good Day Everyone, I'm still selling please pm or email me blah blah....etc"

After a day or two, i will quote it then delete the previous one. SMH.. Please mods, take a look at this.

And thanks Cyrus for referring me to this section. Cheers to you! you've always been great to everyone here!

I hope your ban is served, because you are currently evading your ban by posting outside of meta, e.g. here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1739377.msg17415937#msg17415937


No. You can bump once a day and you can reply to comments or questions, but you are not allowed to post updates, "bump" or similar more than once per day. Whether this is true for you or now is for the admin that banned you to decide.


If you think others deserve a ban use the "report to moderator" function at the lower right of the post in question.

How about you remove the bumps like you've been told to several times?


Looks like you used this account to evade your previous ban as well. You're also almost certainly selling hacked accounts but I'm not going to get into a debate about that. Remove your bumps if you don't want to get banned. Not difficult is it?

Well cyrus has warned me about it. And i have no idea until he told me that.

Now that i have knowledge about ban evasion, i won't do it anymore!

But like what i've said i delete my previous post right after i quote it.

Don't lie. I've told you several times before, both in your threads and in PM:


And you've been banned twice before for the same thing so don't play innocent.


But you don't though. You had numerous posts removed yesterday alone.

Not lying.

Im talking about the ban evasion

Ignorance is not an excuse, especially considering that your main account is a hero member.
You should really read the rules here.

If you have been warned (multiple times by multiple people), then there is simply no argument to reducing your ban. Especially if you have been banned for the same reason in the past

I would be willing to give you a pass on the ban evasion if you simply update your customers that you cannot reply via the forum (and give an alternate contact information) (it is not my decision but I would make the argument).

Not to take this thread off topic of why you were banned, but I'd agree with Quickseller there, and tell you that you are allowed to update your customers in your own thread, and say that you are banned for 30 days and cannot respond via the forum. That is one post though, "I'm banned, for bump spamming, and cannot respond here for 30 days or until my ban is lifted, please contact me via xxxx if we have pending business" Further discussion wouldn't be allowed as ban evasion though.

I think signatures/personal text can be changed whilst temp banned so putting that info there would be better.

True, the OP could be edited as well (I think?), but I personally wouldn't bother with someone who made a single post updating their thread saying that they are banned, with no additional intention of "bumping" their thread or whatever.

Yes, marco(theminer) used this to communicate their ban to signature campaign participants. IIRC it was something very similar to the message you suggested with a mail address.

I'd probably let it slide but it's essentially bumping their thread and will no doubt invite others to further bump it with questions etc so changing the sig/personal text would be the ideal and safest option.

my other account is banned. and I cant see a time duration when the ban will be uplifted. is it possibly a permaban?   :(

More than likely. What's your other account?

You are posting other messages outside meta, when you are banned.
Even if you weren't permabanned before, you could be permabanned now for ban evasion.

how to remove bumps post?

You press the 'Delete' button on any Bump posts you make before making a new one. The 'Delete' button can be found next to 'Quote' and 'Edit'.
