Is that spammer banned?

I hope so

AS I can see, he was last active Today at 06:32:55 AM (forum time). Give him some time to sleep ;)

No.


He's usually online this time of day, probably on one of his sockpuppets hitting his cap for posts for the sig deals. 

He is usually quite constructive, I wouldn't consider him much of a spammer. Either sleeping or outside or since the limits are set for Stunna's signature campaign, he might be on his alts

What have he done to you to make you hate him that much lol?

Jeeze, I don't post for half a morning and people think I'm banned.


They probably got banned themselves and/or are just hating. Might be one of Cryptogirl's sockpuppets though since it looks like he got banned again and probably thought I was responsible again. He left me negative feedback from one of his alts the other day haha.


Ha, nah, don't be so cynical, BB. Sometimes I have to do stuff away from my comp  :D. I'm always out on Tuesday mornings, though sometimes I do a few posts before I go out, but didn't today.

Comes with the territory I guess.

Are you a puppet of OP?
Hilariousnco seems like a nice guy, from the few messages that we have exchanged.
He's not a spammer.

Probably, they have the same registration time. Ask theymos to check their IP.

I don't think those signature campaign people would be happy to know of this. But if you can hide under the radar and continue to maintain constructive post on both of the accounts, you might be able to do so. Anyway it isn't against the forum rule to not behave like a Jr member though.

:D newbie sockpuppet of newbie account haven't seen this for a while.
And ontopic he really isn't a spammer he just seems to have nothing to do whole days.

Did I specify that you are doing it now?

I've been talking about hillariousnco  ::) and i think you mean summer holidays.

Goodbye brain cells  :(

Spammers spamming about the spammy spammers.

Seriously hilariousandco is a decent poster.  He should be paid a premium over the other spammers.

And no I am not him.

I like most of your posts and i think they add content and value to the topic. I wouldn't consider it spam. Don't let some of these people get under your skin they are jealous i think.



Why would you let this Slug Make fun of you and such?  He trolls users trying to get them to bite his Bait so he can ban them. He constantly has 1 liners and tons of spam posts with 1 word or a stupid picture just like the quote below with almost no content at all. such a Virus he is. who cares if he is a Mod doesn't give him the right to verbally abuse people on the forum.

I could care less about the SPAMMING mod. He has the power to ban me and i have the power to create another account therefore the only problem he can cause me is a MINOR setback  of creating a new account. He is Worthless and his power is very limited.  I'm ready to log onto my next account if this one gets banned no big deal.

your opinion means squat just like his authority.

Piss off

I don't think hilariousandco is a spammer at all as his posts are on-topic and helpful.

If you consider some of his posts spammy, you could report the posts.
And if you really hate him that much, you could simply ignore him so that you won't be able to read all his posts.

I don't think it's because of him though, the number of participants is rising very very fast. If the amount of participants keep on growing and people keep on claiming BTCs, it is unlikely for him to profit from that. I don't think Hilariousandco gets more than 1BTC per month based on his trust ratings given to Stunna, there should be plenty of people claiming 1++ BTC.

You're really really wrong. You can also get IP ban that will prevent you from creating and logging to ANY account.

While I tend to stay out of that thread as much as possible, I'm yet to see that kind of post from him. All I've ever noticed is him trying to help out other users. At the end of the day, what does it matter if he is getting payment?  It's not out of your pocket.  Considering he hasn't been banned yet, I'd say he's contributing to the community. Which is all most of us are trying to do.

When has this become a 'spam discussion' thread?
A mod. should close this, the question has been answered.
Hilariousnco is here to stay.

Exactly. I often state both these options to people who bring this up, but people would just rather moan.


Exactly. I'm not even the highest earner by far. I've yet to clear over 1btc and bryant.coleman has earned well over 2btc several times. It's not the high-earners that are to blame that earn the money playing by the rules but the masses of users who contribute very little and do actually spam. If I was one I would've been banned by now. People just really need to get over their own petty a personal issues they have with people for whatever pathetic reasons they have.


Thanks, and again, exactly. I've never made any 'simple-minded' or just 'I agree' posts anywhere on this forum, and when I state that I agree with what someone has said I'll usually write a few sentences why I do. But I'd just ignore this guy. He's just another user lying and exaggerating to suit their own petty agenda without any evidence. And his entire contributions to this community seem to be exclusively trying to sell his gift cards, and half of those posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=588417.msg6460743#msg6460743) seem to be just masses of bumps (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606844.msg6713618#msg6713618).



Ironically this is all these threads ever turn into. I don't know what people expect when they create them. People should probably just keep their opinions to themselves if they haven't got anything valid or worthwhile to say (or not create a thread asking if a user has been banned after they don't post for half a day). And I doubt the mods will lock it, the guy who created it will have to, but this will probably just go on and on unless it is.

IIRC , theymos said that he would not divulge IP information unless legally bound to do so.

Quite the contrary actually. He said he would divulge it if required by law, but does not guarantee that it would be only in such case.

Tell me, which one is more constructive. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658484.msg7405545#msg7405545 or that? I believe hilariousandco doesn't express his feelings using that but continue to elaborate. In many occasions, I have seen him posting constructive posts, contributing his opinions. If there's no signature campaign, I doubt people would even want to post this often.

LOL! Busted!  Lets face it, we all make posts that could be construed as spam from time to time without even realizing it. Personally, the fact I'm in a sig campaign, I try to put a little more effort into posts than I do on other message boards I frequent that don't have sig campaigns. I tend to not comment on a lot of things around here that I normally would because I don't want to get suspended/banned.

I like the community and that's the main reason I post here. Without the sig campaign, I'd probably post more, but I know that we have a target on our heads because we have a sig that pays us a small amount to post.

I don't mind hilariousnco's posts, but you'd think he would tell a few more jokes here and there.

Do I go around spamming the forums? No....Hell I didn't even collect payment for the signature campaign this month nor do I plan to ever collect it. I'm glad you picked that post as an example because I can clearly show you why your point is wrong.

A.) My mind in that post was to give acknowledgement (being it was an argument)
B.) Lets compare it to Mr. Spammer, while giving a simple minded reply, he purposefully filled in space by adding pointless text, I did not because money was not a factor.
C.) You won't find one reply that was ever posted with the intent to spam
D.) Never have a collected Signature payments, nor will I ever because I do not care about posts.

You have in your mind that I actually care about what is contributing or not, like I actually care about collecting money every month for these sig deals. If you can get this straight in your head, you would understand the difference between posting for the message behind it (which is why I post) rather than to fill up space with text so it would be deemed legible (which is what spammers do). Let me give you an example, spammers post to give their opinions on things, because if that was not the case, there would be no source of threads to post on. You can only help so much with posts (which is also another reason to post), until it gets to the point where the only source of posts becomes posting opinions and outlooks on threads which is Hilariousnco's 99 percent base. So please bring out more links if your hard headed and don't read the above text.

This goes to the dumbass that thinks I was "busted" as well. 

You seem to be of the opinion that posting opinions is somehow wrong. A forum isn't just there to help people by presenting facts, but to discuss ideas (IMO!). In this case, a persons opinion is just as valid as any other post.

I see nothing off-topic about posting in a thread about domains that your favourite happens to have the word "cock" in it. A little humour is always nice to read.


Perhaps I misunderstood you.

I didn't know about this and somehow i don't even belive it but whatever o_O.

Yes, unfortunately they can be removed. Even multiple times I believe, if you pay an increasing fee.

You're clutching at straws there with that example. I don't see anything wrong with that sort of post in an off topic thread. I didn't realise I have to start sentences with 'I 100%  unequivocally know for a fact...' and continue to write an essay and then provide sources. And how convenient that you'd 'rather not go through all my posts'. A couple of people have used this excuse before when requested to provide examples of my spam posts. Funny that all my posts are spam and contribute zero yet they can never find a decent example, not to mention I've had very few posts deleted by mods during my time here and since I haven't been banned yet you're probably in the minority of people who merely have a pathetic problem with the amount of posts I do for your own petty personal reasons. And you'd rather not go through my posts because there's probably no valid examples of genuine spam, unless of course you just think my entire posting is spam, and if you do then I suggest you just get over yourself, stop being a hypocrite, actually contribute something to this forum and start reporting all my 'spam' posts when you see them if they're so frequent and offensive to you. 


Wrong, wrong and wrong again. Merely having a sig deal does not invalidate all your contributions or make your posts pointless. If there wasn't a Marketplace here you would have contributed nothing either. And saying I contribute nothing is not only laughable and hypocritical of you but just plainly incorrect and just shows how you'll say and make up anything just to suit your own bias and agenda without actually having to construct a genuine argument or provide valid examples. There also seems to be a fair few people in this thread that would disagree with you on that as well. 


Haha. 'Economical side'. Classic. I.e. you're just here to make money. So I think you will find it's your entire existence on this forum that has been for your own financial benefit whilst contributing nothing, zero, nada. The only scams you seem to have called out are those by competing sellers who are selling the same things as you and are a threat to your business by undercutting you. I've noticed you never actually provide any evidence of other sellers codes being fraudulently obtained, you just say that they're obviously carded or whatever. I wonder where you get yours from as well? 

You could also go through my posts and find plenty of examples where I've helped people out and called out scammers too. Far, far, far more times than you have. I've also had a fair few messages from people thanking me for help. As for me only posting here for the money - Wrong again. I can guarantee you I'll still be here in years to come even if signatures get banned or the deals disappear or start to offer dust. I've never denied and have always admitted that I make as many posts as I do for the extra bit of coin, but when I signed up here it was just to contribute and learn more about Bitcoin because I believe in it as a concept more than anything else. You can read my reasons why I got involved with it and this forum in a recent post I made here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645586.msg7215432#msg7215432) (sadly this sentiment doesn't seem to be shared by most of the new users who sign up here and probably including you). I also wasn't even actually aware you could get paid to post before I signed up and was very surprised to find out you could. I was pretty disappointed I'd made around 100 posts which I could've got paid for though had I seen it sooner. I enjoy posting and contributing and think it's amazing that I can get paid for doing so and will continue to do for as long as possible despite the hypocritcal hater comments from people like you. Signature campaigns are by far the easiest way to get coins and you can play by the rules and earn a nice little amount from it (which I'm sure this is your real issue / problem with me here). Anyway, like I and others have said before, if I'm so offensive to you or anybody else and you feel I contribute nothing, put me on ignore and report all my 'spam' posts or just actually get over it. 


Haha. Hey, there's a few jokes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=343734) I've made scattered around that got a few laughs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352479.0) from other users (though I'm not claiming they're examples of comedy genius). I'm actually writing both a sitcom and sketch show at the minute with a friend (which the latter will be titled Hilarious & Co and the former will actually include a lot of Bitcoin references and one entire Bitcoin-based episode). Might try get a pilot episode crowd funded eventually or use my own coins when we've got the script down, but I'll try bust a few more lolz out for you, but as you can see Bitcoin is seriouz biznezz to some people. 

Edit:


Your logic and reasoning behind this is a joke and your excuses are completely laughable. The only reason you didn't collect payment is because you didn't make enough posts to do so. I'm sure you would've this term, but might not now to avoid looking like a further hypocrite. Why is it ok to post crap and contribute zero without a sig deal? Spam and one-word posts are the same with or without a deal. And If you have no intention to get paid then why have a PD signature and sign up for it? Baffling. I've never made a one word post. Funny how you can justify one word posts and pettily using one off topic post consisting of a couple of sentences as an example which you are completely wrong about anyway is what you're basing your entire argument off. I could write 'I agree'. Then follow it up with a paragraph and you'd probably go 'oh he's just tacked that paragraph on the end to look constructive blah blah blah'. Just actually go through and compare your entire posts to mine as well. I can equally say you've just added stuff on to the end of your sentences to pad them out whilst you've largely contributed little to nothing here anyway. Oh wait, it doesn't matter about you not contributing anything since you're obviously not posting for money. My bad. 

This totally removes the purpose of bans just for a small profit. That's stupid.

I'm not sure if all IP bans can be removed by paying a fine, but you can't pay to get out of a userban which is what the most serious and repeat offenders will get. There's no point in banning tor and proxy connections that many people use as well.

I think that IP ban is more serious as the user had to commit something and then kept creating new accounts to do it over and over or to spam over and over or to insult over and over, no?

You're talking nonsense. Another puppet account.

User bans can't be removed by paying a fee. Fees only apply to IP "bans".

Ban evasion is not allowed. If it becomes known that someone who was banned created a new account, then they'll be banned again and they'll lose the registration fee that they paid. The fee discourages ban evasion without totally preventing people on shared IPs (especially Tor) from registering.

I don't believe that post is simple-minded and it was relevant to that thread, nor did I just stick an extra sentence on the end to make it look like it was constructive as you falsely claimed, and again you bring up one single post in an off topic thread and act as if you're on to a winner here with absolute proof that I'm a spammer. Sure, that post isn't the epitome of my constructiveness but, what, it's maybe one or two posts out of a hundred? Compare that post to the ones that surround it and you'll soon see it's the odd one out. In fact, aside from the World Cup thread I haven't made many posts in off topic at all the past couple of weeks and have made a conscious decision to post less in there, but you just latched on to that one as it was the first you saw, and as others in this thread have pointed out you seem to be the sole person who has a problem with it. And again, the 'I don't have time to go through your posts' line is a petty cop-out.

And since when is posting in Stunna's thread against the rules? Again, it's you that just has a problem with people posting in there. Funny you should bring that thread up as I think your entire contributions to it have been whinging at people posting in there. And others have backed me up on this; my posts are always relevant in there (or elsewhere) and are usually to answer people's questions or queries and if I can I will and there's nothing wrong with that, and If I didn't answer them someone else certainly would. If Stunna said to deduct posts from that thread I would and still answer people's queries so irrelevant once again.


And I asked you to provide me with some of my posts that fit this criteria seeing as they're 'mostly always in this forum [sic] of I agree', because you're chatting shit, although I didn't realise it wasn't kosher to agree with someone on here and state your reasons accordingly, but I guess it is in your opinion when someone is on a sig deal.


Umm, yes you did and your entire argument seems to be your posts are irrelevant because you're being paid:

"Your contribution to this forum is absolutely nothing, zero, nada. Why? Because without the sig deals, you would not be here, nor would you post. Even with them, your posts are spam and pointless"

And I told you why you're wrong on that. It's quite clear you and just a few select other whingers have a personal problem or a bugbear with me or others and the amount of posts we do. That's it.


So if this is a bitcoin forum and people are here to make money then why the hell are you complaining at me? I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy here. I've already stated previously why I joined and the reasons I post so there's no hypocrisy yet practically your entire contributions to this forum has been to earn money yet you're complaining at me for doing so whilst you're contributing next to zero, hence why you're a hypocrite.

And I never said they were illegal, but have you provided evidence to the contrary? Funny how everybody else who sells them has obtained them illegally but not you. I was just wondering where you got them from that's all and I guess I'll still have to wonder. I'm sure time will reveal all on that front, but regardless I'll still be here long after you're gone.


You seem to think that just because I have a sig that my posts equals spam. The quality of my posts wouldn't drop if the deals went so it's irrelevant. And yeah, this thread is here for a reason. Pathetic people like you seem to merely just have a problem with my posting for complete non-issues so you sign into your alt accounts and make up crap and exaggerate to suit your case. Again, the ammount of posts does not matter as long as they're contributing which they are. You could make 1000 posts a day with or without a signature and as long as they're relevant then I dont see any problem. Of course you wouldn't have a problem if people didn't have a signature and wasn't earning from it but in this case I do, so you use it to attack me without proving any real evidence at all, just equating the number of posts I do as spam.


Hahahaha. Unethical. Don't make me laugh. How the hell is posting for payment by advertising unethical? Its the exact opposite. Am I scamming people? Am I selling fraudulently obtained goods? I'm not breaking any rules here. If there's anyone doing anything unethical to make money here it's almost certainly you and definitely not me.  


Everything you said has been hypocrisy and I've pointed it out continually. Calling me a greedy savage is hilarious. You're here to make money and you joined Stunna's campaign to collect money from posting regardless of whether you've now decided not to bother claiming any of it.


I'd love to know how I'm taking advantage of Stunna. The deal is pay per post and that's what I get paid to do for his share in advertising. Stunna has thanked me at least twice for keeping the quality of my posts up and another couple of times to alerting him to certain things that concern him. If Stunna had a problem with me he would've kicked me off the campaign ages ago, but he doesn't, it's just you.

And you didn't collect for the simple reason you didn't make enough posts which you have just admitted you would if you had made enough. Further hypocrisy yet again. Haha, and sorry for having an opinion. I'm on plenty of forums where I make the exact same arguments and get paid zero. I'm starting to think you probably just couldn't win an argument with me on one of your alts and now this is the result. Seen it happen before. You seem to have read a lot of my arguments and discussions to say your posts on this account are almost limited entirely to the Marketplace.


Haha. What message is behind your posts exactly? There's zero message.  Unless you think "buy my giftcards and not from these other scammers" is a message. Practically your entire contributions to this forum has been to flog your gift cards, so that's why you're a hypocrite, and you might want to look in the mirror because you might see a 'greedy pig' looking straight back at you. Theres plenty of thought that goes into the vast majority of my posts, especially the heated political debates or whatever. You can't really make simple minded arguments in those threads, but you're certainly making very simple arguments here, not to mention you're just completely making things up and grossly exaggerating. 90% of my posts are just 'I agree'? What absolute twaddle. Again, making up utter crap to suit your own argument. Please post the 90 out of my last hundred posts that fit this criteria.


You probably will and you will also probably collect your money off Stunna eventually, though if you don't it's only because you won't want to look like an even bigger hypocrite. I'm sure you'll have alt accounts anyway on deals.  The only people who complain are the ones who merely have a problem with how many posts I make, not the content or quality. Just because a couple of biased sock puppet newbs who probably had other accounts banned or people who contribute nothing to this forum (ie you) think I'm spamming doesn't mean I am. There's plenty of people who disagree with you too, including a couple mods and I've even been used as an example of what level of posting is acceptable under a sig deal before. Again, you just have your own petty personal problems that you need to get over, but I'm glad you're not going to bother posting nonsense here any more because I'm tired of responding to the same old crap. Feel free to PM if you wish to discuss further.


Ahahaha, you see this is exactly my point.  You just have a pathetic issue with the number of posts I make and you need to get over that. So it's ok for me to post say 10 quality posts a day, but the moment I do 11 or double or multiples of that they magically turn into spam? If I spread my posts out and post from ten different alt accounts that would be fine? Get over it, seriously.


Lock the thread then. How can I be spamming in here? I could probably write ten posts in the time it takes me to state my case to the nonsense here. If people keep falsely accusing me of stuff or creating threads which I'm the sole point of of course I'm going to state my case each time. What did you actually expect in creating this thread? If you don't want this to go on and on like I said it would then lock it, and if Mr Hypocrite wants to continue the discussion he can do so through PM.

Seriously? You obviously have no idea what spam or spammer means then. How can I hijack a thread that literally concerns and is about me? You create a thread and continue to post replies which beg responses of me then complain when I do? Baffling. If I'm such a spammer stop enabling or encouraging me to do so.

I love the irony of the fact that this thread is making Hilariousnco bitcoins  ;D


p.s. the vice joke made me lol

Just curious, how did this thread makes him bitcoins?

He gets paid for every post by participating in a signature campaign (look in the marketplace/services sub-forum). That's the basis for the complaints in this thread; that he is abusing this by spamming, to make bitcoins.

Yeah, but I'm technically losing money replying to this thread because as I mentioned before I could make a helluva lot more posts elsewhere in the time it takes me to respond here.

Gyfts deleted his posts in this thread and apologised to me via PM.

Oh, and for further hypocrisy/irony and as I initially suspected the user who created this thread is an alt of hensi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=215456), permabanned for spamming along with two other alt accounts: Pobre (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=119420) and dumb ass bad bear (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=625540.0) lol

Hensi and justus both used this address multiple times: 1HensiPMaW88aaS1iwbnbFBFPqoJX7RvSw:


Whoops. Looks like this thread just backfired. 

Anyway, the second person, flirto is also a alt of them. That is what I am suspecting anyway.

I have removed most of it due to better overview of the thread.
So OP how is he/she spamming? Just look at this damn post.

In the case, I am afraid the accounts justus and flirto will probably get banned as well for ban evading...

Just did (both). Better luck with his next accounts I guess. Also looking forward to another hang/stab/ban badbear thread.

Bb is just doing his job, i dont ought to say anything to him but still i think that hillarious is hijacker and a topic deviator.

And yes, i am alt of  justus

I think some members are judging hilariousandco based on his past habits. Two months ago, his posts were EVERYWHERE. He is much better now. Still not much real content in his comments, but tolerable. There are hero members much worse than him and they are still not banned. ;)

Care to read up on episode1?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=609015.0

And that's why I miss the newbie jail...  :(

Yet nobody is doing anything against it. Even though there are no advantages of removing it.

Actually a jail till one has atleast 50-70 activity would improve this alot!
