Bitcoin Forum

To The Pharmacist: Request granted.

The request:
Archived: https://archive.fo/QN9Jn#40%

The first direct attack:
Archived: https://archive.fo/JOfIS#60%

Directly stated that Philippines/Filipinos are "starving to death whilst anticipating a bitcointalk paycheck" and would only mean that Filipinos here are obsessed to be paid via bounty campaigns in this forum and are very poor (based from "starving to death").

He also may have indirectly called Filipinos as "desperate shitposters". Though this phrase may be addressed to everyone (who are shit posters, of course) but the fact that he singled out Philippines is just a clear form of discrimination and racism. (I am not saying that there are no shitposter from Philippines but there are shitposters from other countries as well.) Be fair, at least.

The second direct attack:

He called Filipinos monkeys. 1

He states that the "collective contributions (of the Filipinos) to bitcointalk are ZERO" while there are 2 Filipino Moderators in this forum. Namely Dabs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=54791) and rickbig41 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=553678)

Words are powerful. They are sharp enough to cause wounds and could even kill. I respect opinions but yours are too offensive in my side.

Honestly, you shouldn't be mad at The Pharmacist but rather direct your frustrations towards the account farmers that perpetuate this shit. How many times do you see chum bucket scum posting all this asinine crap? Perhaps not all people from the Philippines circulate garbage across the forum and spew diarrhea out the wrong end, but you certainly do see a lot. Enough to make such a generalization.

It could be harsh. But doesn't this highlight the problem with the forum? Up to you to stop them from being dingos.

---

Also, doesn't this shit belong in Reputation?

Am I mad? Perhaps.

Do I approve shitposting? Nope. Others might label me as one and I don't care.

Do I shitpost? Yes, who does not  ::)

The main point here is not about shitposting or whatsoever. The point is that The Pharmacist called Filipinos (in general) starving and obsessed with bounties, pansies, and monkeys. Do you want someone to mock a community you're in, in general? Hell no. That is discrimination and racism. Not to mention unethical.

I don't agree with certain language he used and he could probably tone it down a little but this is just a symptom of people's frustrations here with 'shitposters' and the sad fact is that a good majority of them happen to be Filipino (along with other South East Asians such as Indonesians and to a lesser extent Vietnamese). Whilst The Pharmacist was probably out of line I kinda agree with actmyname that you should direct most of your anger towards your fellow countrymen as it's them that are giving you all a bad name. If the forum wasn't swamped with so many of you causing a good percentage of the mess here there probably wouldn't be so much hostility towards you.


True.


Not true. Words don't kill people. Actions do.

Also, sticks and stones...

Thanks.


I agree but at least you did not singled out Filipinos.


I am not that mad of The Pharmacist. I respect his opinion/statement but just like you've said, he's out of line.

I cannot blame some (or many) of my fellow countrymen here if they're not well in english (I consider myself as well) or if they're only here because of bounties. No matter what the reasons are, at least they are having a life. Some uses bounties here to sustain studies, to cope daily expenses due to unemployment. Some helps the community, the 2 Filipino Moderators for the most suitable example. Some wants to learn and be updated.


It's hard to clean up messes especially if you did not make and/or cause them.


That's figuratively speaking.

Although I disagree on the language The Pharmacist uses, I understand his frustration with shitposters. Not only from the Philippines, but also (or even more) from Indonesia.

If you seriously get offended by some anonymous person on the internet, you'd better get your priorities straight!

I know many Filipinos, and I know they're all very proud of their country. But they also leave that country instantly if they ever get the chance, and even then they remain very proud of the place they left behind for a better place.

Many people don't, it's the people who don't care that create a huge problem on this forum. I currenly report much more posts than I place by myself.

As far as I know, this forum doesn't have any rules against something as biased as "ethics", and it's the only forum I know that doesn't limit user's freedom of speech because someone else might be hurt by it.
If you feel the need to mock his community, I don't think he cares. And he shouldn't care, who cares! "This guy on the internet is mean to me"? Steve Hughes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHMoDt3nSHs&feature=youtu.be&t=220) explains this very well on Youtube.

Why do you care so much? It's obvious that a country with 100 million people has many good people, but it's also obvious the large majority of Filipinos on this forum are shitposters. What if he'd say the same about all Asians: would you still be mad? Or if he says the same about all humans?

Nobody blames them for having bad English, I'm terrible at hundreds of languages! But I don't post in any forum in any language that I'm bad at, that's the difference. The forum rules don't allow Google Translated posts. If you don't speak English, don't post on English sections.

I think it's safe to say that you mean "Many" instead of "Some".

---

I think so, yes. Unless he considers this to be related to the forum, but as far as I've seen, much worse language doesn't get deleted by moderators. I think theymos values expression of speech much higher than possibly hurting someone's feelings.

Not really. Perhaps a pinch.  ;)


Because they believe that there are more job opportunities outside Philippines.


Depends on the definition of shitpost from every individual.


Fully aware but did I said The Pharmacist break any rules? I just accepted his request ::)


Not much ;D


I cannot argue with something obvious. I am not actually saying "why only us?" or something. Just the tone and language used.


But there's no restrictions regarding that.


I agree. Fixed for you :) (No sarcasm added ;D)

---

I apologize for shitting on your lawn.


I considered this as related to this forum so I posted this shit here. If I did a terrible judgement I'll be happy to move this (give me a go signal :D)

I am not up to mods and admin to do something about this but just to say that The Pharmacist crossed the line and happily complied with his request. I so not even want an apology, that would be shit, isn't it  ::)

I already agreed on that, the forum is just nicer if we're all just a bit polite, even if we don't like each other. And yes, that's not always so easy :P

There is:
You can argue up to what point bad English is still English, but it's obvious there is a line somewhere.

My bad from cutting your post. My actual thought was: No one restricts users to post in English boards even though their English is bad. Well unless it's so bad that no one understands anything.

I have seen many many Users and Mods on Here bashing people about their posts because English is not their Primary language and seems "Broken" or sounds "Stupid"

This includes theymos  " - While some amount of error is difficult to avoid, if your English is so broken that you sound stupid, then your post will be deleted." topic is here can't be Quoted https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2722359.0

English speaking people who seem to think that learning a second language perfectly is easy should probably try it themselves.

Imagine that??

You have to ask yourself how many languages does theymos fluently speak? or how about The Pharmacist? or Mr. Prep?

This is why there are local boards. I would expect to get bashed too if I tried posting on a board whose language I don't speak. The crux of the issue is that the only reason they are posting on the English language sections is because they're being paid by a signature campaign to do so. I don't see people getting bashed for their English in sections like Scam Accusations, for instance, since the same conflict of interest isn't present.

Don't get confused....This is a PUBLIC forum just because a few pricks have no tolerance for a person who speaks a second language or even third language below our "standards" doesn't give a right to mute a person from posting in other sections outside of their primary language.   

They have a right to post in ANY section to the best of their ability with their adopted language without harassment from idiots who can't even comprehend what learning a different language is all about.

Sure it seems broken at times and may seem "Stupid" to the admin but give them a little tolerance it's not easy.

I agree spam like +1 should be deleted or plagiarism but if a guy is posting in a 2nd or 3rd language have a little understanding.

OMG...you guys remember Huge Black Woman, right?  I'm not here to be politically correct, and if you're fuming over some flowery offensive words--especially on the internet, you really ought to grow a much thicker skin.  

Good, I'm glad my words stung.  It's a good learning experience for you.  If you people can't tell "over the top" from "crossing the line" then there's not much I can do for you and you probably take yourself and your race, your skin color, your sexuality, your cross-genderization, your political beliefs, and every other fucking thing way too seriously.  

There is also this wonderful thing here called the ignore button, and if you really can't stand to read the solid gold bullion that I crank out on bitcointalk, you should avail yourself of it.  

I would offer all the Filipinos here a group hug, but I'm afraid I'd be cannibalized at worst or come away smelling of curry at best.  

Now read that line and ask yourself how seriously you're going to take it.  And then you can flame me all you like, to the best of your linguistic skills.  I can take it.

Your the one getting confused turbo.  This is a PRIVATE forum.  The Admin decides what the rules are and what rules are enforced and what the consequences are...

No they do not have the right to post in ANY section they want.  They have no fucking rights here what so ever.  We all have privileges granted to us by the Admins.  Follow the rules or FUCK OFF, pretty easy.

No one give a flying fuck how many languages you know... You sound like some self righteous prick IMO

The racist moron is allowed to say whatever the fuck he wants as long as he is not breaking Admins rules, which I haven't seen evidence of.  Don't like what the retard is saying ignore him!

Do you need some baby wipes?

Someone literally neg. rated me for using bad words. ::)

I would say they are malnourished cancer to this forum. And also include the Indonesians and the Bangaldeshi Beggars to this list. Even I am from a third world country but I dont shitpost across the forum like these people do. This "Who does not want free money" stance is what irritates me as well.

It come from the majority decision. Few innocent people are always hurt in the crossfire. But those who know that they have contributed to this forum will not start this type of a thread but rather politely ask him to not make such comments.

---

Your method of accusing The Pharmacist simply shows that you are butthurt. If you have the guts to accept the fact that even if 90% of the Filipinos are shitposters but still 10% are not and are worth being proud of, then you would not get touched by this words and would have simply moved on.

I don't think anybody complains about a Newbie posting a serious question/problem in Bitcoin Technical Support (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0) in very broken English. I don't report them, I answer them (if I can). They don't get banned for that.

I think it's pretty clear when a "kid from a third world country" tries to post "English" just to earn from a signature campaign. That's what it's about.
I've posted (in English) on an Italian board too, but I did it only once, on a subject that interested me.

That's Indians, not Filipinos :P

---

For what it's worth: English isn't my first language either, I know my limitations, and I see native speakers who just write better sentences than I do.

Maybe, maybe not.  ::)
This is pretty much a PUBLIC forum. Public as in anyone can come and post coherent and relevant posts. There are no official rules stated by the admin you know. And consequences, my foot there are any. There are hundreds of users abusing campaigns and scamming innocent people, what consequences have users faced, a red tag is going to help anyone? A big huge NO.
Are you fucking dumb? Theymos believes in freedom of speech and literally all users are given equivalent rights, except for that of staff and moderators. Everyone has equal rights, you sound like a person who has been living under a rock and is just removing his real life anger on the forum's users. Go and have a beer.
Yes he is allowed to say anything he wants to unless he is trolling.
What the user, The Pharmacist, told was rude and discriminatory. Not everybody in this world not get offended when rude things are said, some feel too hurt and they get angered because everyone has their own limits. Freedom of speech is allowed but freedom of trolling and rudely discriminating a race or religion isn't how a person should sound. That's where you get to know that the person is immature and whining about it is not going to take him anywhere. True no one does, do you know what you sound like?

Is every privately owned venue, that is accessible to pretty much anyone public? No. This forum is privately owned.

The only thing that liberalism bullshit gets you is the following:
People who do not have adequate command of a language, or aren't trying really hard[1] (+ trying to learn it), shouldn't post in such sections. It is simple as that.

---

[1] Disclaimer for shitposters: A 3-5 lined posts is not equal to trying hard.

Being an Indian,I take this offensively.I don't eat curry ,neither shit on streets. I have a big Italian bathroom in my house which also happens to have a reserve of tissue papers for an year.Obviously,my family takes a glorious shit in the morning.That being said, I do agree most of the Indians smell of curry and shit on the streets.

^That's how you take jokes OP.

English being their second language is besides the point, but you're forgetting that this is an English speaking forum. If you can't speak English then you should stick to your local board as that's what they're there for. I have nothing but respect for people who speak multiple languages but when your English is so poor it's often a stretch to say it's even a second language and when the forum is wall-to-wall shitposts by people quite clearly struggling and forcing themselves to make posts it becomes both annoying and disruptive. A lot of people's English here is so bad they're like human spambots and it would be akin to me going into the Philippines local board and trying to speak Filipino. I can't. So I would struggle and so do they. They would also quite rightly get annoyed if their board was flooded with largely unintelligible drivel by people who can't speak Filipino and I wouldn't blame them for that.

This forum used to be a place to discuss bitcoin but now due to signature campaigns that has become second fiddle and is now largely just a place for people to earn bitcoins via signature campaigns and when you can't speak English either very well or at all this is just a recipe for disaster. I honestly don't blame people from developing countries trying to take advantage of it but it cannot be acceptable for people to spew nonsense all over as they ruin it for everyone else as it is almost impossible to have a decent discussion about anything here any more. The fact that they can't speak English doesn't hold them back because they'll either just google translate it or even worse copy and paste somebody else's post. You don't have to clean up their mess on a daily basis so you can't understand Staff's annoyance with the issue. You will also have no idea how many users are banned for copy and pasting content on a daily basis and the vast majority of these instances happen to be mostly Filipinos and Indonesians (because they can't speak English very well if at all). Staff's job here now is essentially to babysit these annoying kids for free and we waste countless hours attempting to do so and it's incredibly frustrating and that frustration is shared with many other users who are tired of having to sift through streams of illiterate diarrhoea to even find something worth commenting on.


As others have said this is a private forum with rules. The rules are no low value posts. People really shouldn't be posting in their second or third language if they're not fluent in English and if you're not fluent then stick to your local boards as that's what they're there for. Far too much abuse is already tolerated here but that's partly why the forum is in such a mess and all these restrictions that are being suggested or trialled are done so to try make the forum actually readable and usable and to cut down on the wall-to-wall abuse by both bots and spammers.

Though you do have to admit that its 3rd world posters from Asia that completely ruin this forum. They just spam 24/7 in bounties, signature campaigns, they buy accounts and scam.

Yes, there are legit people here from these countries that The Pharmacist is 'attacking', however you somehow forget about the peaceful people when their brothers and sisters are doing such vile acts here. While I don't completely with the wording of him, his core ideas are spot on and something should certainly be done about all this spamming.

*Agreed with hilariousetc, words don't kill, actions do. Its not like the Pharmacist is going to kill every Filipino he sees....*

In this post someone who doesn't understand the difference between public and private or rights vs privileges.

There is a fundamental difference between a private forum open to the public and a public forum open to the public.

Like it or not there are rules here.  Are some less enforced than others sure but in what are of life is that not true...  When you get pulled over by a cop do you use the lame ass defense of "hey that other guy was speeding too".  Guess what, NO ONE CARES.  In the USA a lot of people say, "it's my right to drive".  It's not, driving is again a privilege available to the public.  Go get your license revoked and drive around, then when you get pulled over tell the cop its your fucking right to drive and see how that works out for you.

All of this reminds me....

Wasn't there a Filipino Bitcoin Whale named Leroy Fodor here a while back?

I wonder what ever happened to him?


~BCX~

I'm not out to literally kill anyone, and OP here is blowing up like a borderline personality drama queenie here.  

OK, so there are Filipino mods.  Does that negate what I said about the Phillipines' collective contribution to bitcointalk?  Hell, no!  Not all shitposters are from the Phillipines, but most Filipinos from what I've seen are shitposters.  They didn't come to an English-language forum to discuss bitcoin in a language that's not their own.  They came here to earn money from campaigns that only pay for English posts, and they're wiping their ass with bitcointalk in the process with the results you can clearly see in sections like Bitcoin Discussion & Economics.
Thank you, that's a wonderful way of putting it.  And it's not just Filipinos that are responsible for this, but I'm pretty damn sure it isn't the native English-speaking countries who are.

I understand him somehow. I myself have trouble finding valuable topics to read, or having a normal discussion with users. And when I see an interesting topic and start to read, 80% is filled with stupid posts (bitcoin is good so it will go to the moon and because the moon bitcoin will shine it's the best crypto, bitcoin is freedom and so bitcoin is awesome) When you read 20-30 posts like this one, you don't even remember the original topic. For the same thing, people open 4-5 different topics making several duplicate topics, while you just need to search before and if there is already a topic, stick with it

Moderators are wasting their time as well, I don't want to know the nightmare they get. I think they can update their curriculum vitae with Daycare manager, kindergarten supervisor, etc... :D

While The Pharmacist tends to go a bit overboard in his rhetoric, as many have mentioned, his frustrations aren't completely unfounded. Nothing has led me to such desperation as watching East Asian and Russian spammers flood the forum with waves of crap that I'll never be able to mop up, no matter how hard I tried. And while the not every [insert nationality here] is a spammer principle applies, trends do exist and certain countries with shitty living standards do tend to dominate the spamming sphere more than their more affluent counterparts. (Usually) not the individual's fault, but the mind does tend to lump people into categories.

I speak 2 languages fluently. English is my second language. You have no excuses. This is an english speaking forum - if you can't speak english well, either stay in the local sections or don't post at all. Also, it's mprep (pronounced as em-prep; always starts with a lowercase m when written).

P.S. This seems a bit out of place in Meta TBH.

I used to be called idol in a  game where the majority of players are Filipinos, they are really simple people, once I got in a signature campaign when I had neg trust after I posted something in Filipinos language, tagalog. I was in love with a girl, though she was Chinese but a Filipino was my competition.

It could be partly my fault, ever since I talked about Bitcoin on a game with 3000 Filipino players, I started to see more of them here, price was $2000 back then. oi The pharmacist, do you think that you are special? (you are fluent in English, that doesn't mean you are above them all).

Mr. prep talk to mr. theymos to change activity counting, for example if you are wearing a signature you wouldn't have your activity increased but even getting negative activity per post while wearing a signature. then make people to pay at least $0.1 per post if they would like to maintain their rank. then exclude bounty and altcoin sections from counting towards your activity.

This is not off topic, this is why we're here on this topic, when you have a signature on even for a day, your activity should decrease for 2 weeks per post, that way, no body could trick the system.

Welcome. Thanks for noticing this request from you ;)

Huge Black Woman? Never heard of her. I bet she's from Africa.

Your words stung for some. But for me, I don't actually know. I cannot feel anything.

No need for the magical ignore button. How can we see your fruitful posts if we'll do that, right? :D

Hmm, we'd rather have a banana  ::)

Hey, no need to be so serious. This was your request remember. We won't bite  ;)


That's not bashing. I think you have to recheck the definition of "bashing" mate.

That's odd. Was this thread about using English fluently? Guess many are lost  ::)

Not really, but if you insist then I'll gratefully accept :D

That's their decision  :P


Wasn't Signature Campaign itself was the source of this cancer? Shitposters were just lured in because of the stench. Oh wait, include me as a shitposter, I'm from Philippines after all ::)


Define majority?
Please read the OP, this is a request.


Accused of what? Attacking Filipinos? It's only the truth. Does anyone demands TP's appologize? None.
I am proud to be a Filipino. But I am not proud being called as shitposter.

There's no reason for me to move on lmao. I just had my last glance at this thread, that's all ;D


Does anyone care? Nope. None. Sorry dude :P


All of us very much agree.




Was this statement too difficult to comprehend? That was a figure of speech :P


Joke is different from insult. But to be honest, some posts here were hilarious.


It does. 1+1+0+0+0+0+0+...+0 != 0 Unless, of course, if contributing nothing would be scored as negative ::)


No objections here.


Perhaps. It depends. Sorry I cannot see through parallel worlds ::) :P

Filipino is a citizenship, not a country ::)

Come to think of it, I assume many from the shithole country you speak of joined your twitter campaign. Oh wait, I was a part of it as well. And you haven't paid yet even though you said that it will be on the 11th of January. Oops?


Guilty as charged! JK  ;D


You're making things complicated for theymos. And btw, it's mprep not Mr. prep.

Theymos will not do that. It would be unfair for someone who's reputable and NOT a shitposter to loss some of his/her activities just being enrolled on a signature campaign. And how would the admin/mods will verify if someone is really in an SC? By wearing a signature? That's a dumb logic.

This is just wrong. It wouldn't do anything beneficial against spam. Who fucking cares about paying 10 cents per post when they earn much more than that from even the lowest-paying signature campaigns?

Excluding bounty sections from counting towards activity makes sense. Altcoin sections seem a little harsh, though it can be argued that this is a bitcoin forum.

And at the end of it, this doesn't stop account farmers who just shitpost to gain activity. They can just not wear a signature until they reach their desired rank.

WAS TRUMP RIGHT SINCE THE BEGINNING??  :-[

Btw. we have quite the number of polyglots here.
Not speaking english as the first language is no excuse mate - something like a surgery in your left brain hemisphere would be better. ::)

By public I meant something else,not in terms of ownership.
What you say makes sense, but what I said kind of confused you. I meant that users are allowed to post anywhere in the forum, as long as they are not breaking the rules mentioned by mprep and they are not shitposting and saying bull shit. If they do so, yes then they are banned and corrective action is taken. But still those users come back with the greed of participating in signature campaigns. Administrators do not have all the time in the world to check who is avoiding their ban and what not.
Posting is not exactly a right, it is a privilege, I agree. But I just want to say that instead of being too much of a racist to people who can't post well, anyone getting angry with shitposters is not going to help. If one shitposter is banned, 10 more come in. This would only increase a person's blood pressure,instead stop giving heed to shitposters, rather ignore them in the first place and just report them.

No, I know better than you and mr. prep, don't argue with me, mr. prep disabled altcoin icons once again, I'm showing my resentment this way.
A dumb logic would be to do nothing and have the forum to become what it is now. we need 2 mods to verify who is participating in signature campaigns.

You could pay $2 per post, whatever the fee per post, it has to be enough to pay for at least 6 new mods, 2 of them to be active for 8 hours, another 2 for the next 8 hours and the last 2 for the last 8 hours of a 24 hours day. forum needs more than 6 new mods, this is just to have 24 hours online mods on the boards with the most spam.
Let them pay, if you have enough moderators, you could stop them from breaking the rules. you say they'll rank up by spending time? they are doing the ranking up and are earning at the same time, if they'd post just to rank up without breaking the rules, you couldn't do anything to stop that, it is their time.

@Mind Control


I'm well aware, bud, hence italicizing "Filipino" in my quasi-humorous pseudo-quote below the accompanied image.

I've witnessed how much work the mods actually do to try and combat the spam that keeps on popping up. By the time they have mopped up a few hundred posts when they check again there's another few hundred posts to deal with. It's a vicious circle right now which quite frankly won't be prevented by hiring new mods. Changes to the structure of the forum is likely the only way we are going to combat this. But, then we risk hindering the actual legitimate users of the forum, which I for one aren't a fan of.

Signature campaigns are a big problem of the forum. Changes have been forced which are far from perfect. The changes which have been made have done little to actually stop the widepread spamming. Serious discussion and it's sub board for example isn't dealing with it directly but, allowing a safe haven for discussions that people want to talk about without the annoying spam.

It isn't just signature campaigns. Altcoin annoucements and bounties are a big part of the problem and it tends to be a spamming ground for many non English, broken English and English responses.

The forum shouldn't have to accommodate for signature campaigns. Signature campaigns should accommodate for the forum. What should be done is if the signature manager isn't doing it's job then the thread should be trashed and the manager punished.

I don't know if you've ever run something which requires using moderators, but it's incredibly difficult to find trustworthy ones who most likely have no identity attached to them, more so on a cyptocurrency forum. Plus, any of the reports that I make normally get dealt with within a few hours at most. The forums staff team cover almost 24/7 between them.

It would be nice just to be fair and square with others. Never in my real life to make a statements like that will offend someone specially speaking about the race. We do not own their lives and we have no right to control the or say anything bad to them. This is a forum that all people can share together for the common good and not for the interest for oneself. I believe we are a loving community and all were happy to use this forum for many things and not for dragging people down. I hope the mods can see "The Pharmacist post and have a review on it for fare usage according to the laws.

Right. Banning all of those spammers would be fabulous.

Hm... at that level of English you're exactly the kind of spammer that most of us are talking about here.

Oh, piss off. Loving community my ass. Would a loving community just smear shit all over the forum and spew rancid garbage everywhere they go?
"sir the bitcoin goes up"
"i will never sell my btc because it will being the future"
(some long-ass redundant quote about bitcoin's rise)

Which laws? The ones in your country?

Legitimate people need not buy other people's accounts. They also need not/will not spam. Strong changes to these two things will not impact any legitimate users.

Unfortunately, neither: a) Strong changes to reacting towards spam; b) Strong changes to who can run signature campaigns and how, have been made. Either one of those would significantly help the forum.

As I've suggested in another thread, bounty sign ups should be handled outside of the forum.

Apologies for the aside, but damn, dude, I love your well-written prose (had to Google in seeing if a hyphen was warranted; YEP!).

The world isn't some hippy love fest and neither is this place and The Pharmacist didn't break any laws as far as I'm aware. I believe in freedom of speech but that works both ways so we aren't going to remove something just because it is deemed 'racist' or someone else doesn't like it, but there are rules here. You can actually say things deemed racist or offensive here just as long as you make a valid point and are not just doing it with the sole intention to inflame or aggravate someone (even if someone is actually aggravated by it). Sure, many people are going to find what he said offensive but I personally don't believe he broke the rules. As others have said, every user here is free to ignore any users they don't like and I would suggest you do that rather than hope staff will make a judgement call on it for you.

This is my experience:

Last year i followed an airdrop (a free airdrop), because i was intetersted on related project. Rules for joining airdrop was easy: at least to be a BTC talk Junior Member, have telegram and a twitter account. Well, over 90% (but i think near 95% ì) of airdroppers was from Philipines & Indonesia. Most of them just opened a new BTCtalk account and made a lot of shitpost, just for became Jr. Also a lot of them had multiple accounts or used airdrop telegram group for begging money. Obiouvsly: 1 days after airdrop this new coin goes near to 0 due to high sale volume. A ridicoluos thing was that most of them called "scammer" the developers (that had spent a lot of time and money for develop the idea), accusing them to not support this coin to go on coinmarketcap.

Due this  experience  i could say that i understand the Pharmacist's frustation. Is not easy to fight around tons of spammers here. Also i could say that 99% of post that began with word like "Does - Why - What " are just shitpost made by spammers.
 

I'll echo your sentiment, bud, adding that during the going on seven years I've been here, I've never ignored a single user nor considered it. Not relevant to this thread, but I've also never solicited or accepted a single satoshi for my scam-busting services in this community, as well as refusing tips regardless the amount (tip amounts never revealed; simply flat-out rejected them, thanking users for the offers). I'm pretty sure nobody else in this space can declare said truism.

Quasi back on topic, I don't have a horse in this race but do find this thread interesting and informative.

No matter what country he/she belongs no has the right to call someone because people are people they are called humans for a reason we and we have an intelectual  mind which is far greater than animals. At anyways spammers are the one's to blame here because they are responsible for the pharmacist claims.

I've reached this member level without joining yet any bounties, airdrops nor signature campaign so this inhumane claim The Pgarmacist really brings a huge negative impact on me as a Filipino people and not a monkey!
I'd rather hurt with a metal stick than verbal pain like a heartache! :-[

Every human being is a human. You are not being stripped of your humanity, so there is no great life-threatening disrespect towards you.

The Pharmacist isn't disrespectful towards the Filipinos of this forum, and his "3rd world...." trust feedback is merely just a statement looking at the stats. Usually shitposters are from Asia. There is no racism there.

If these people are from Eastern Europe, Africa or anywhere else, it would be the same thing. If you still feel highly 'offended', don't show him you are upset. Don't be a snowflake. Man up and take in the truth.

So 3rd worlds are Asia, Eastern Europe and Asia in your and Pharmacist's opinion? And Germany seems also 3rd world for him. What is first world?
No, that is not the intended spirit of Satoshi, who founded this forum.
It is also not created for centralized control of whole forum by high profiting group or mad seller  on auctions, who only wants to delete DT1/2 red trusts, when he gets paid a certain amount, he lost on exchanger.

He certainly did not intent for 3rd world monkeys to shitpost left and right. They ruined this forum, and are the reason that almost all *Bitcoin experts* have stopped posting here (or are not posting as often as they used to).

What are "3rd world monkeys" ?

Really?  He's may be a moderator or what. He don't have right to say that. Even Filipinos in that position will not say those things because they have respect to other nationality. Filipino do there job professionally with respect. :'(

Filipinos generally do a lousy and lazy job hence why they have such a bad reputation around here. I would turn your scorn to the actual root cause of the disdain for Filipinos and that is the huge amount of spam you lot make on an industrial scale, but you are a prime example of a shitposter and deserve the feedback.  Your entire post history consists of just one sentence of spam and half of your last 20 posts are you just trying to join campaigns.

You generalize us Filipinos as a shitposter for a single liner post! try to lookup your inter post first before you judge us Filipinos! your even spam before or even have single word post, we Filipino is a good worker here and just follow rules.

Some of the signature campaign just ask 80 or 100 characters length and that's only a single line post and that's a very simple rules.

Not all Filipinos are ignorant we just follow rules and maybe we made a mistake before here just like me because we all came as a newbie.

I also got negative trust given by The Pharmacist and we deserve justice, because for me this is inhuman and racist...

Signature campaign rules are not the same as forum rules/guidelines, but I highly doubt that actually means much to you shit posters.

Can you send me that link of rules? I don't read that part yet... you also do a single line post that's makes you a shit poster too!

I just read this part and no single line issues: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

You are more than free and welcome to go over my post history.  If it does not meet your standards feel free to leave me neg trust.  DT'ers as they also know are free to do the same if they so wish!

As you can see I do not wear a signature and especially not one that's paid for, EVER (to date).

As you have said free, so it is free to post whatever to post without breaking the rules, but I'm not like thus kind of lady who do the same...

It is very difficult to accept that they instantly give me a red trust, but it just fine! they are free to do all that shit and I just move on.

It's literally covered by the first rule. It's very obvious that you lack English comprehension.

Almost all your one-liners are useless garbage.

Useless garbage post is deleted by moderators, giving negative trust for post! I thought negative trust is for scammers!? ???

That is true. Well said.

However. If you cannot comply and deliver your services (posting) to the same quality length as a proper English speaker ( such as the The Pharmacist in this case), you are in fact scamming the campaign you are working if their manager does not kick you.

Also, no one said TP was a moderator. He, myself and plenty of others do not give a sh*t about what happens in the Filipino local board section of the forum. However when the English section is being spammed with complete garbage and posts that a normal person cannot even read, let alone interpret anything from it, now that is the problem here.

You should not post in the English boards of you don't know how to properly write in English. Simple.

I'm the detective here, Conclusion the perpetrator of this nonsense outrage of Mind Control (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1375679) is Cobalt9317 because he post this reference as an encouragement to do better in his fellow Filipino because the project of donating to a charity is not going anywhere and highly likely impossible to execute given the small amount of time that we all have to help others let alone ourselves.

However Cobalt9317 is unaware that a simple reference to improve his fellow Filipino from not using shitty post could get messy like this, now I'm proud of this man he opens a personal thread to talk about how TP uses word of disrespect in Filipino community, Apparently this is a board and anyone could say anything what they want to.

Evidence: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2669388.msg27324220#msg27324220 you might not understand some of the context in the thread, however the last post that I made was quite fanciful.

Case Closed

.... not without a certain irony ...

Meaning? If you can't write properly, don't do it.

Nice. You're really cherry-picking here.

A typo where Aventhe uses 'o' instead of 'i'. Clap, clap. You've truly outdone yourself now and exposed them for the hypocrite that they are!

---

Except you fucking haven't and Aventhe still posts better than 90% of the scumbags on the forum with broken sentence structure and shitty grammar.

All the sir's in the world won't change a goddamn thing about how asinine the replies are.

If you want an example, just jump into any Bitcoin Discussion or Economics thread with more than 10 pages and look at the most recent posts. Do not deny that there is spam.

brah, honestly don't make a mess out of it. We don't wanna look like butthurt. Just don't make a big issue out of this.

Oh I'm so sory sir. Sir plz forgiv me.

Earlier today TP wrote 'havr' instead of 'have'. Shit. It's the end of the world and I guess he too won't be posting in the English boards anymore.

Mind I say, English is not my first language. Regardless, the only mistakes you should mainly see are small mistakes such as that. I have no problem with people who do this every once in a while.

There is a clear difference between simple mistakes, shitposting and sentences which don't make any sense.

I am on holiday right now and the only phone I can use is a 3.5" HTC, and guess what - O and I are right next to each other. And to top it off, I wrote this in the pilot's seat of a Piper Warrior. So if you want to be a grammar Nazi, don't do it here. Do it in the English threads.

You do not have to apologize to me for your typos and not for bypassing the thread issue and repeating replies, that were given for the umpteenth time, because I am not the executor here. I was just a little amused about your sentence.
But what should be clear, to return to OP (and is not addressed to you, Aventhe), spamming is not reserved for only one country or region. And spamming needn't only be in Bitcoin discussion, speculation etc. I see also harassing posts against members as a kind of spam.
There are many good examples of DT-members and moderators here in forum, how to deal in a constructive way with each other. Why not continue their way?

@Maum, the apology was pure sarcasm......


Second of all, the issue at hand was already addressed well and clear.

No, you are correct, spamming is NOT contained to a region. No one said that. TP only said it usually is from Asia.

This argument is a bit like feminists saying women are not the natural carers of children, when you bloody well know they are. When you call them out on their idiotic rants, you get labelled a sexist.

Spammers are USUALLY from Asia, not always but usually are. Anything else you'd like to debate and/or rant about?

Saying the truth is different from deliberate racism.

Hi I'm a Filipino and I am always proud of my nationality. Concerning with the post of pharmacist I can't deny it and accept it as true since the evidence is clear. The hard thing to accept the truth is when it is presented in an unfriendly manner but how a person can do that if the frustration is already controlling the emotion. So I could say on the side of pharmacist that what he has done is understandable and a good chance for us filipipinos to walk away from being shitposters. It is easy to read and understand a bad English than to understand the growth of shitposters.
So although it's hurt for calling that Filipino has no good contribution here let us prove that pharmacist is wrong and avoid to become shitposter. And also to my fellows if you think that a person you will going to tell about bitcoin will become just one of those shitposters and destroy our reputation please do the best thing to instruct or better to keep it secret than adding a person here that will be one of those who are destroying the reputation Filipino here.
Peace everyone. Thanks Pharmacist your hard words is an open rebuke.

You should never be proud of your nationality(ies), regardless of which one(s) you are. There's nothing to be proud of, you did nothing for it. It's utterly useless and just creates discrimination. Side note: It's part of the controlling business, just like religion. The kool-aid is nice though, isn't it?

There's nothing to destroy nor does anyone really care.

---

Read, and use your brain before responding. This is not about *Filipinos*, it is about any shitposter (most of which are from Asia given our years of experience over here).

First, In my own opinion being proud of your nationality is not discriminating the other.
Secondly, perhaps you are right but for me giving no importance on behalf of your fellow citizen here is a kind of destroying your own reputation from the place where you belong and the reason why Pharmacist generalised the Filipinos that we have no good contribution to BCT and I thanked him for this because it is a chance for us Filipino to become fully aware.
So concerning the words "destroying reputation" this is not intended to anyone but I said this intentionally to my fellows who wants to bring a new member here but a shitposter.
Lastly, I want to thank you Lauda for this because I saw once again that my English still bad and mislead the reader to what I really wanted to say, so my bad for that. And by this I am now more eager to improve my English.  ;)
