Title: Isn't this spam?
Post by: solsticez on August 29, 2014, 06:56:30 PM
I've just seen this in the offtopic section, is it allowed, can I spam the forum like that or only the hero members can?

Just asking...

Weird... The posts don't seem to be similar to his previous ones. Maybe the account was hacked (or sold)? I've contacted the admins - we'll see if they have any info.

I've noticed b!z has changed a bit recently in my business PMs to him, but I've always been paid for jobs I've done for him even after his writing style changed, albeit now with some payment delays although I get paid in the end. I do hope he wasn't hacked or something - it seems a bit strange that a hacker would continue paying me for work and asking me to do jobs.

It is not spam to reply to every thread in a subforum as long as the replies are constructive. Although considering that the picture is of the off topic section, I somewhat doubt the replies could potentially be constructive.

You should check his posts then before replying.
Posting so much in off topic in any case should be considered spam, because of the time-frame. The time between some posts is less than 30 seconds (!).
All the posts consist out of a few words. I could be wrong here.
A person that is participating in a sig. campaign would be banned if he posted like that.

Usually when I click on a subforum after I go through 30 minutes of bitcointalk, I see my name a lot there.

Like I said, the fact that this was done in the off topic sub forum probably means that it is spam. I looked at a few of his posts last night and ya the posts are questionable at best.

Notice the very unprofessional smiley face in his personal message area and weird writing style. I would not trust this account until it is proven he is in control of it.

Am I doing the smiley face right now?

I'll sign a message. Pick any address from one of my old posts.

Maybe he sold the account? Hero accounts go for 1+ BTC now I think. Pretty tempting  :P
Unless he was a legit whale tho, then it wouldnt make sense to lose a Hero Account  ???

You guys are real funny.

I'm pretty sure b!z would have 100s of BTC.

Impossible that he has sold it. Small chance it was hacked (I'm pretty sure he knows to manage his security)

It looks a lot like you are trying to troll him.

A lot of people don't have control of old wallets, especially ones almost two years old.

It would make sense only if you think his account was stolen over two years ago, before he built up his reputation as one of the most reliable traders.

Jambola I suggest you be quiet as you seem to have done no serious research on what happened. b!z's writing style did change dramatically including in his PMs as well as his posts so people have a right to be cautious.

I did not eliminate the chance that he has been hacked, but I am sure that he has not sold it.

There is a chance that his writing style changed because he may have been hacked, but I believe that he would never sell his account.

Asking for proof by signature of an address posted over 6300 posts ago is a stupid idea, that's all I said.

My thoughts exactly. Be suspicious of him until he proves otherwise.

If he was hacked, I think he would let people know that and try to recover account.

Since none happened so far, I guess either he solt it(what you said would not happens) or he started to access the forum only in the beer time, so the change in the style.

No problem. I completely understand. I've been a bit busy irl and I haven't been too active here for the past couple of months.

jambola2, you're right: I don't have access to that address unfortunately. I've signed a message with a couple addresses I've used frequently here:

If there are any other ones anybody wants me to sign, post them and I'll see if I still have the wallet. I do plan on maintaining my good reputation on this forum.
