LOL! Is there any sports thread in this forum?

How about considering 1 post per thread in the Politics & Society/Meta threads in the coming campaign? I have usually seen people keep posting in 1-2 threads again and again and have over 10-15 replies in one thread.

I don't know why you are ignoring me whenever I say there's something wrong with the bot  LOL! The bot is a bit defective  One needs to try 4-5 times to get the desired result. In any case, Marco always monitors this thread so not to worry. |

Would anyone mind if we exclude Meta and Beginners and Help boards from next week? You can certainly post there, but only it won't be counted. But, if we find very useful posts in Beginners and Help we will certainly count them.  What do you think? It's great to see that you have included Local boards. Is Politics & Society also excluded? I had read earlier that the section was excluded. |
|
|
|
Also it was "From this moment on" But now my posts which have been made earlier are already excluded  I don't mind my future posts being excluded. |
|
|

From this moment on: Meta, auctions, politics & society do not count towards a user's post count. This will last until the start of the new campaign, when things will change. (1 or 2 weeks from now). This big change was brought by the large increase in spam. Beginners & help may soon be excluded too, if posters do not improve. If you spam, or post unneeded replies, you will be kicked. End of discussion. Please play your part in keeping this forum readable . Then please include Local section if possible as bitcoin discussions take place there as well. |

We have been following this for months. Where have you been dude? Look at the other BFL threads. I was alive but not that alive to read about something I don't know about nor am interested in bro. I dint know the term BFL till this post was created. I can't search every section of this forum to find out what's going on and I don't even know anyone who could tell me about this case. and also it's pretty obvious that what you might know, I might not and vice versa. Not surprising at all. What other BFL thread? Aren't they all deleted? I'm surprised that BFL is such a small part of the forum. I was about to suggest you should just give them yesterday's forum snapshot  Jokes aside... What the hell do we have to do with BFL? Why the hell should theymos be forced to lose time gathering all the information these guys need? If they need info, get them yourselves... Don't force your own citizens to work for you for free, gathering old information they have nothing to do about and sending them in if they don't bow to this... Pretty annoying. As for the PM protection... I agree with Blazr. Losing your password would be a feature. But this also should be opt-in, with a big, annoying, one time warning. I have asked the 'same' thing and this is was the reply from BadBear: Subpoena is a court order, so yes he has to respond (either consent or fight it in court) or he can be jailed.
And yes you should always use PGP or something else for sensitive communications.
I hope they enjoy reading my pm's to Inaba warning him to stop trolling and derailing threads, and him whining about someone else starting it.
I was lucky to have not sent any 'sensitive' pm to any 'member' of BFL team or person related with them. It's obvious that when there is some legal trouble or a law firm investigating a case, they ask for all other information. Like I can read the OP, it says that most employees of the company were members of this forum. Theymos may be asked to provide everything related to those employees and if he wouldn't do it, it could have appeared as if he is supporting them. That usually is assumed. Glad that he supported them. |

As you can reed on the first page of the subpoena it were: KYLE ALEXANDER, and DYLAN SYMINGTON of the WOOD LAW FIRM that requested it.
(And if you google WOOD LAW FIRM and BFL together, what do you get...?)
Oh it was a Law Firm. I get this if I Google search it: http://www.woodlaw.com/cases/butterfly-labs-and-bf-labs-inc-bitcoin-minersI assumed it was a Government agency as I just went by the definition and I read the case that the company hasn't lived up to the expectations of their customers and they have many cases issued against them. Thanks for the reply |

The unique time that we have been in touch is when I have sold him a starbucks code (received from bipolarbob). I do not know he bought some fraudulent cards (and he is noticed that those cards are fraudulent).
When I was selling my legit starbucks card received from a giveaway, he told me that others are selling for 25% of the face value. He also knows very well that the millions of cards he buys for 10-25% are obviously carded and illegally obtained but still he buys. His wish obviously but I wouldn't trust with a user who believes in buying illegal goods. He may be reputed but what he has done with the OP does not make him trustworthy and well, the fact is related as you BELIEVE in what you yourself do. Check this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=864850.msg11015974#msg11015974 ("The balance on the Starbucks Card does not have a validity or expiry period" http://www.starbucks.in/card/card-terms-and-conditions) To some extent, I agree with him as he thought he was earning a huge profit but now when he knows the OP made a mistake and he is being ignorant, he should refund him. As he deals with PP at the market price, I don't know what's stopping him here. I also have dealt with many users/persons and if I make a mistake, they refund me my money and similarly I do it with others. That makes a person TRUSTWORTHY and not when you claim you are. Prove it. |

Well I mailed kash last night when they were online, and I got no response. If the user does care for his reputation, he should refund you. The user has mentioned here: So, Im buying 100 CAD worth BTC via paypal at bitcoinaverage.com prices! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=816934.0 When he himself trades at the market price, I don't know why he does not want to refund you the money or he is happy getting $120-50 more. Tomorrow as it happened to you, it can happen to him as well though I hope it doesn't. I have received this message from him: Hi
This is regarding the negative trust you have given me. I have NOT scammed anybody and have done everything according to the terms of the deal. Yes he made a mistake but thats not my responsibility.
Please keep in mind my past record and remove the rating.
Thanks!
But I will not (obviously) remove the negative trust, or at least only if you repay back killyou72. I hope all this situation will have a happy ending. Past record of buying fraudulent gift cards. That's a good record as he buys fraudulent cards after knowing they are carded. |

Well maybe not at first but if you keep reporting posts which don't need to be reported at all and/or if they suspect that one is simply trolling then they might stop paying attention to them or simply ban them or take away their reporting rights (if there is such a thing).
A reply from the MOD: Also, what if half the number of my reports are "BAD", will the MODs start disregarding my future reports?
No. It might effect your chances of ever becoming a mod if your accuracy isn't very good though (if that is something you would be interested in). But may be if a person does report 100-1000 posts which are all BAD, their reports may be excluded although I don't feel the MOD will do that as it's their job to check reports. Also, I don't think anyone would waste their time reporting so many posts which are unnecessary. It's an extreme case. |

Where is the solid evidence? You need to first give proof that he has scammed any user here. BTW, he is an alt of which scammer?
I will pm you the evidence. You're doing it wrong. Post all the evidence publicly for peer review. Of course nobody will leave a negative feedback on that account without knowing whether or not it's really an alt of a scammer. Read this and try again: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0P.S.: Do not PM me. He pmed me the skype ID of the user and I asked him if I could post it here but I got no reply. Well that user is a scammer if I go by his feedback. He is an alt of a scammer "zizzle" as his skype ID is delly140. Don't know why OP isn't sharing his PM here. |

[...] when the Government needs any info, it's hard to convince them. [...] Huh...  What's you talking about? What does government have to do with this? Did you even read the subpoena (let alone the rest of this thread before posting)? I just found this: http://www.plainsite.org/dockets/download.html?id=176216470&z=77fe495bAnd this http://ia801803.us.archive.org/33/items/gov.uscourts.ksd.97083/gov.uscourts.ksd.97083.68.1.pdfI thought it is the Government agency who issued this. If you know better than me, then would you mind explaining when the following are the Target accounts: BFL_Josh BFL_Sonny BFL-Engineer Inaba BFL AM Dave bcp19 nibbknot SLok Why did they ask for all the posts that mentioned that term? They think all posts and PMs will be helpful for their investigation but theymos has reduced it(according to OP). P.S. =snip=
The subpoena originally demanded all PMs that even mentioned BFL, which is ridiculous, but I managed to get this part eliminated.
=snip=
I read that in the first post but my concern was if they want to take any action on the users that just used the terms or they are only interested in the BFL employees-/ex employees posts. |

Well, the rule isn't enforceable as per the mods. Also, marcotheminer turned out to be okay, if we leave out the occasional attacks.  10% bonus for avatar campaign. There might be some changes to avatar campaign from next week. I actually enjoy reading yours and Marco's post  Not blaming anyone or taking sides as I have been a part of both the campaigns but it seems that you both keep taking digs at each other just like how two siblings argue In a way, I find it too cute. For me, both are doing a great job in managing their campaign Sorry if this post hurts anyone. |

it's dirty game you are playing here. If all my posts were spams, then you could have warned me or banned me in the very beginning of the week. Why were you waiting to ban me when the time has come for payment? Please don't cheat people.
Beware guys, he's just running a fraud signing campaign here. He will make you post for the whole week and will ban you when it comes to payments.
You can ask him politely to pay you for the posts that weren't considered spam. |

Can I ask as to when will Payza support withdrawals to Indian bank accounts? There was an option before which supported Indian ban withdrawal with a fee of INR 250 or less but now the only option is Bank Wire which has a huge fee of $25. Why is this option disabled for Indians?

You are probably not a geek, but I understood what was said. There were obtuse references to geeky stuff that many on the forum would get.
What is your definition of a geek here: 1. a digital-technology expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often used disparagingly by others). 2. a person who has excessive enthusiasm for and some expertise about a specialized subject or activity: a foreign-film geek. 3. a peculiar person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual, unfashionable, or socially awkward. In any case, I don't relate to the above meanings so you're right. The topic was about a news article but it went a bit off topic. I would like a MODs opinion though to know if I should/not report such posts. @erikalui,
I remember that BadBear said "each users is a case different than other. So also if you report an users it should pass a few days or week before that he is banned. It is obvious than who is wearing a sig ad 'has' the precedence respect who is not wearing a sig ad, but I think also the users who is not paying for post should be 'examined' and after banned (if they continue to make insubstantial posts).
Is the problem the posts or the fact that someone is wearing a sig ad? Or maybe both thing.
@bold: Even I want to know this. On other forums, a user is open to posting whatever he wants and engage in a conversation but since here the case is wearing a signature/not wearing a signature, it's unfair if only sig members are banned and the others are not. Rules should be same for both but as of now, there seems to be a difference between the two members. |
