Bitcoin Forum

Me and a couple friends had accounts here, just found out I was banned for no reason. My account here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=165035

Buddy's account:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=355797

We share a dorm. Inb4 shitposting. I can show you Hero Members with shittier posts than all of my friends combined. My account had great posts. Just lol at this forum banning policy. Not even bothering with delivering a legitimate reason to ban.

BadBear is currently cleaning house on account farmers. Since you and your buddy probably have the same IP and your buddies posts are almost all low quality one liners... well you can draw the conclusion yourself.

Send him a PM or wait for a reaction here.

Edit: also if "off-topic" has the most posts... stinks. Basically your buddy is behaving like someone farming for an higher lvl to join a sig campaign.

Well, I did told him and other people that I was making like 0.4 BTC monthly with Primedice (which is great in my shit tier country), they probably got overexcited. And again, I can find shittier posts by current Hero Members, and the posts aren't off topic even if they are short. You are going to start making people scared to post short-witty comments or just short replies just in case they get banhammered. If you start checking these 1000+ post accounts, you'll see that a big % of these posts are somewhat shitty, plus lots of even single word replies.

if you could send me a list of those users, I'll be sure to with them. Insubstantial posts are not tolerated here, regardless of rank.

I can't do that, feels like a snitch yo. Even tho, based on what you are saying, everyone in threads like this should be banned:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199415.0

There are 365037 and counting members in this site. A large % of that is going to be meh posts. Newbies like my buddy don't deserve a ban for being newbies.

So you're claiming that there are 1000+ post accounts with big % of posts that are insubstantial, but you can't back that up with evidence when asked. Opinion discarded.

You completely missed the point. Making one insubstantial post occasionally won't land you a ban, but frequently making them will.

 ::)

Opinion discarded not really, as im talking facts, not opinions. Maybe you enjoy being Randall Weems but I don't. Im not gonna piss off some guy that took like what, 9 months to become Hero Member just to prove my point. But in any case, it took me about 3 seconds to click over a full member guy, browse 3 or 4 pages in his post history and they 90% are one liners:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=308789

Not this guy deserves a ban, neither me or the rest needed a ban. It's fucking ridiculous. It's just normal posting on a forum. Whenever you ban someone he's gonna be most likely done with Bitcoin, specially when there are no reasons to ban him. My account is full of better posts than that, you just have to browse the posts, so there.


Unsusbtantial post, ban him.

LOL! I see what you did there :D

not going to point finger on anyone(badbear) but this post was very poor and i nominate bad bear to be banned...

Agreed, ban the bear.

lol whats wrong with the guy you posted? he has only like 120 post in over a year.

My account got banned today and really don't understand why..
My account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile)

I've emailed them and am waiting for their response but I don't agree with the way they just ban people without giving a reason or anything. People feel man!

You can't click that link directly, as it will make each user link to their own profile.

Go to a post of your old account, right click on the name there and copy that link.

For example, my link would be : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=148258

It will be the same as your "https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile", but will have ;u=NUMBERS at the end.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=348406

That's his account.

So what, I dont post more than about 10 posts daily, except maybe in some day where I have the entire day free, in what planet is that spam. You can check my post history in my account, most of them aren't one liners, I can find endless acounts full of oneliners/short posts or way shorter than mine:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24511;sa=showPosts
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=94010;sa=showPosts
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=181848;sa=showPosts
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=84835;sa=showPosts
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=249232;sa=showPosts
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=119404;sa=showPosts

I can go on forever. Now compare it to my posting history:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=165035;sa=showPosts

Mostly normal-person lenghty posts, couple of longer posts, couple of short posts, couple of quoting, images... about fucking normal internet messageboard usage, just like the guys I quoted. So tell me, in what planet did I deserve a ban? I posted like a normal fucking person for 9 months and I got a ban, that's all I know. I work so many fucking hours daily so I try to post whenever I can, usually on my 45 minute break, which is why I usually post a couple post in a row, that's all. Like I said I live in a fucking dorm so I don't know about IPs or if someone used this computer, im not related to any other accounts, this is my account. Potentially someone could have been farming accounts in here and good for him because we are poorfags, you wouldn't understand anyway.

"Just found out I was banned, so was a bunch of other people in my dorm"

"I don't know about IPs or if someone used this computer, im not related to any other accounts"


You see how these two statements are contradictory? How would you know a bunch of people got banned when you state you don't know how many are account farming? You wouldn't happen to be all these people, would you  ;)? You already know why your "friend" got banned, no reason to ask for him.

No they arent, I know he got banned because he told me, and he told me a lot of other people got banned. Our native language is not english and my english is the best, so im the spokesperson. So there, I don't why I got banned.

So, given there aren't reasons to me, when I can I recover my original account?

You know the reason, playing dumb doesn't change that. Your accounts will not be unbanned.

Not really. My account doesn't contain shitty posts as I explained, and you can't prove that whatever accounts you are talking about are all mine, this means I do not deserve a ban.

Yeah, except you can prove it.
Give me a reason why MY account (giveBTCpls one) is banned? Just one fucking reason. The money I was getting from the signature campaings with that account helped me to go from bill to bill, for once Bitcoin was helping someone that didn't invest in the early days and now im fucked. Thanks. And you can browse through my posting history to prove what im saying is legit. You could also browse and find some mention of me living in a dorm with a lot ot forum posters. For god's fucking sake 0.4 a month for me was a blessing, im a shitty ass country, there's no other way in hell that I can possibly get BTC. No remaining fiat after the end of the month, no time to work part time for BTC (implying this is easy to do...). Jesus fuck.

Daily bump until legitimate reasons for my ban are delivered.

No solid arguments presented yet, daily bump.

Have fun forever upping your post count with bumps in this thread. Maybe you'll make it to Hero status some day just from bumps.

Yes, because they'll never be able to provide conclusive evidence as to why I was banned. Banned based on IP is worthless, people share entire networks, people share public proxies and what not.

Based on spam, nope, my account is publically avaiable to be reviewed and search for spam, and there's none.

So still I don't know why I was banned.

I don't think you have to ability to understand.   :-\

I'd say make a new account but you should probably concentrate on your education.

My education is on point. You objectively can not prove that the rest of accounts belong to me because I was a on a dorm and you can't disprove sharing IP addresses, plus im pretty sure the IP addresses aren't the same (they are dynamic)

Can't also disprove the usage of proxies and what not. So judging by IP is useless: Fact.

My particular account (giveBTCpls) had 0 reasons to be banned, objectively speaking and it can be checked by anyone  through post history: Fact

So 0 objective facts to ban me.

Im on a shit country and getting BTC off sig campaings was a great boost on my shitty income, now it's ruined and im back to 0, BTC is pretty fucking useless to me again, just like for the 99% of people that don't have spare FIAT to invest in BTC. This is why Bitcoin is tanking and will continue to do so, unless the 99% find ways to make Bitcoins outside the ridicuolous idea of gambling FIAT with it or expecting them to find free time to run a second job selling whatever services for BTC. You guys have no life experience.

This may have been one of the cases which have been caught in crossfire. But raging here is not going to help how, its a private forum and if they don't like you then its done.

So at least you are admiting now that it's just an ego reason. More proof of why Bitcoin is tanking as well. Class act buddy.

BadBear, is there a strict policy on account farming?

Does it say staff on my profile? How can I admit to anything if I am not in it?

Your senseless response shows that banning you might have been the correct decision. Enjoy bumping with your new account.

There is, I remember reading he said he banned someone with 50 accounts ;D

Though if all the accounts follow the site policy they will be left alone.

I dont think there's a policy on farming accounts per se as you can have as many accounts as you like per the forum rules, just don't use bots or spam short pointless replies to get your activity points up as that is likely to get them all banned. The people with many accounts such as 50 were probably only banned because they were posting shit or using bots to rack up posts.

So what? you don't need to be an admin to have an opinion, im talking about you being ok with the "banned cuz we dont like you" opinion you stated.


Browse my account postlist and tell me I deserve a ban with a straight face. In what planet is it shitposting? Also, this site is full of short replies from full member+ and no one is getting banned, because give me a fucking break if we need to type long replies everytime. In what planet a short reply can't be relevant to the thread? And in what planet is IP evidence anything? "muh same IP". Since when shared IP's don't exist? and pretty sure it wasnt even the same, it was probably dynamic IPs. What about people using proxies? theres a lot of people that cant access the site so they use proxies, and they get randomly banned "cuz muh IP was used for fraudulent activies". Just LOL at this site banning policy. Show me the evidence, because you haven't showed shit yet.

Isn't it you who keeps saying cuz muh same IP? I never said you were shitposting on your account. Post the links to your "friends" accounts that got banned so we can see if they were infact shitposting.

Did you say... 50? :o

I see.

your account (givebtcpls) was painfully and obviously a signature 4 coins account.  Now, from reading between the lines, you seem to be engaging in buying/selling a bitcointalk account.  I was under the impression that they weren't issuing the ban-hammer for this activity - if they are (more power to you badbear)

I mean, I've had my own share of off topics and 'just trollin' comments too, but you probably would not have gotten banned for doing something within reason.  Heck I had a small stint where I reposted bumps and replies and made a few pointless threads, but the mods took the time to warn me on my behavior beforehand and I straightened up - were you warned of your activity?  What did you do to get banned?

Someone posted about it being the same IP or some shit, and I already posted a friend that got banned, see OP. Compare it to almost any acount. 80% of accounts look like this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=361430;sa=showPosts

Short replies. Oh he posts short replies! ban him too! He isn't making long ass treatises on TA and shitting code! ban him I say. Maybe if you ban 80% of people in this forum, Bitcoin will be seen less of an elitist cult than it already is and it will help the price.

No, my account was me posting regularly as I did for a year. When you have a signature that's a big ass advertisement you get that aura of being a "signature 4 coins account". Bullshit.
Me talking about buying/selling a bitcointalk account... just lol, so fucking what? Are you going to put to jail people talking about terrorism?

What did I do to get banned. Exactly, what the fuck did I do? Thats what im asking. And no, I didn't go no warnings, just a ban for no reason. They don't even bother giving you the reason of your ban.

I need my account back to pay my minimum spenses, Bitcoin was being helpful, you are commiting genocide by not allowing me to use my old account FOR NO REASON. Daily bump.

I think that is a bit of a stretch. It also makes it so you have zero credibility.

If you really are living in a dorm going to school then your focus should be on your education to get an actual job in the future. If this is not the case then you should try to figure out another way to earn money with bitcoin (you could start your own forum for signature spamming with the bitcoin you have earned from signature spamming).

IIRC you had replied to almost every post that posted in the same thread as you. I remember being annoyed when I would click on a thread on my watch-list only to see you reply that did little to add to the conversation. I don't think it would warrant a perm ban however I believe the threshold for a perm ban (and other types of bans) should be lower if you share an IP address/subnet with many other spammers (the same goes for people with a paid signature verses not having a paid signature) so if you shared an IP address with a lot of other spammers it would be more appropriate for you to get banned.

There is also nothing to say that you did not delete your useless/spam posts before making your plea for an explanation.

I think it is clear that the decision to ban your account is not going to be reversed so I think you should stop trying to fore an explanation out of BadBear/Theymos as whatever they tell you will not matter.

If you disagree with this decision I would suggest writing an article on CCN

Try to find a part-time job and work an hour or two after school every day. That should bring you more money than you used to get from signature campaign.


A daily bump won't solve the problem or change Badbear's decision IMO.

Nahh OP doesn't deserve a ban, actually take the time to browse his posting history and you'll see that. From what i've seen in this forum there is much worse, his posts aren't off topic and he doesnt spam so I dont get it. I myself use proxies to brwse this forum at work cos it's blocked there, so IP means nothing.

I didn't spam shit and I got 0 warnings, and im working on my education, even tho I have low chances of finding a job in my country anyway. Having the small BTC I did with this was the only way to get some extra money.


Im from SPAIN, no such thing as part-time job. Im fucked without the 0.4 BTC or so I was making. Shit's depressing. You just can't grasp it because you are posting from your safe bubbles.

How are you making 0.4 BTC with signature campaign?

There is not a rule that says you must receive a warning prior to getting banned. I am also sure that theymos has reviewed your ban since you have posted on here and has agreed that it should stand (based on his apparent inaction).

Like I said before, I personally found your posts to have little value as a whole and it was my opinion that you were posting solely because you were getting paid to do so.

He can't anymore as the higher paying signature campaigns have ended.

You don't get it. It doesn't matter if I am ok or not, its their forum. If you don't like it make your own forum.

genocide? :o

I WAS making 0.4 a month with primedice, now im shit out of luck and Bitcoin is useless as a rock again because it's impossible to make more of it anyway.

My posts had value, otherwise get ready to ban 90% of this forum because most people are posting similar to me and much much worse, so fucking there.

You got shitcanned for spamming and link farming, so now you're complaining you've lost all your ill-gotten income from spamming and link farming?

Boo f'ing hoo, cry us all a river.

Coming from the activity group booster (bought, alt or shill account probs). I could be wrong.
Either way. Chiilll.

Fact 1) You or anyone here has 0 conclusive proof of that
Fact 2) You are a glorious winged faggot.

"other people in my dorm" my ass.Guarantee you they are all your other accounts.

>Guarantee

No you can't.

1) You have no idea what kind of evidence the site administrators have access to.
2) I suspected I was dealing with someone with a mental age of 9. Thanks for the confirmation.

Explain to me how I can't? It's my own assurance that he is not telling the truth. So yes, Guarantee and I can state that.

1) Yes I do, IP and thats that. What are they the NSA?


Mods can't prove shit, so why would you. Guarantee = proof. You = not showing any.

They can probably tell what browser you are using as well as what operating system you are using. If you are using one computer to access all of your shill accounts then it would be more obvious that they all belong to you. They also have the times each account was logged in; if only one of each of your shill accounts were logged in at a time then it would further confirm they all belong to you as it is very unlikely that exactly one person in a dorm is logged in at a time.

If you really do live in a dorm, why don't you post your IP address and what college you go to. I am sure that someone can figure out if the IP address is associated with that college.

Guarantee=assurance, I'm giving my assurance that he's not telling the truth..

The admins can track via cookies. It would be hard to believe that 50 other people login in one computer in almost the same time in many occasion.
