Instead of asking to remove moderated threads you should be asking to have PocketRocketsCasino warned or temperorily banned. Moderated threads aren't going to be removed, but constantly deleting replies in self moderated threads in places such as the marketplace or gambling is highly suspicious behavior.
deleating posts in a self moderated thread is not against any forum rule however it is scammy behavior. When it happens as often as it does with PRC, it is a good sign that they are probably scamming so negative trust should be appropriate but no action by a moderator on behalf of the forum would be appropriate.

One primary reason why people have multiple accounts in the first place is that they do not want their identity associated with potentially controversial statements or opinions.

Signature campaigns should simply weed out participants that are not doing a good job in advertising.

If an account is being held in escrow then the escrow should leave neutral trust and should change the personal message and/or the signature to reflect it being in escrow.

Are you saying they aren't real? Stolen?
a lot of Amazon cards are purchased with stolen credit cards and will result in them being canceled.

If you need a Amazon card your best bet would probably be gyft.com, I believe you can buy up to $1000 worth at a time.

I heard news that Marco, manager of this signature campaign was banned. Is that true? Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, Marco got banned.Check his signature you will see there a message.
But Marco still the manager and he control the Bot now and every one will be paid there's nothing to worry about
are you personally guaranteeing the payments? If not then what makes you so confident that everyone will be paid?

I would proceed with caution with this. You should only install software from unknown parties (especially newbies) on a computer without access to Bitcoin or passwords.

I don't have the ability to do a malware/virus check on this right now so I can't comment if this is malware or not.
12187  Economy / Digital goods / Re: [WTS] Hero Account with Green Trust on: March 06, 2015, 03:11:25 PM
The only reason anyone would pay extra for green trust is to scam, so it is a good practice to insist on a signed message from an old address even when dealing with a member with good trust rating.
there is also the prestige of being able to post from an account with green trust. This is the primary reason why someone would buy a hero account over a senior account.

PM me your price
Do you care to prove that this account actually exists? You used to have a scammer tag and one of your customers had responded to this thread but you tried to sell them a newbie account. They were lucky they were using escrow

this is weird, how do you know that they are a same person regardless the account they are trying to sell is different and the account used to sell it is different too
Because the buyer wanted to use me as escrow, and when it came time to send me the account information that was being sold he gave me the information to the IXcrispyXI account. He later contacted me from this account to find out why he had not received his btc

Thank you very much to all the people that invested, the whole 10 btc were fully funded. Now, let's put that money to work so everyone profits.  Smiley
LOL one person "invested" over half of the loan, and this person was the one who caused the loan to be funded. It should be more then obvious that "Len" is you.

When looking at these operating systems and applications through the eyes of someone who does not have a lot of technical skills, would you say that these applications have the same level of both features and UI as "traditional" (patented) applications have? Will they have the same level of security as necessary for people who have little/no experience in managing their security?

Applications are not patented (although some algorithms are) and there are plenty of nice shiny UI open source applications.

As for security - I guess that you don't think Bitcoin is secure (better hope whatever online wallet you use doesn't disappear and take all your funds with it).

bitcoin is the exception to the rule. Bitcoin also takes a lot of very advanced technology to secure it that is run by many very technological advanced people.

It is also very difficult for a non-technogical advanced person to secure their own bitcoin. The concept of using proper 'brain wallet' security measures is foreign to most people, the concept of how password protected backups work is foreign to most people. Many people do not have the technical expertise to be able to secure their bitcoin.

Don't get me wrong, I very much love bitcoin, and I very much believe in bitcoin's long term success, and I have put a lot of my time into earning bitcoin. However people do need to have their hand held.

I think you might need to look a bit harder.

Not only are there entire open source operating systems but every single kind of application you can think of.

If you can prove that isn't hacked by signing a messege and  using any trusted escrow to hold the account before Ill pay you my offer will be 0.17. Let me know if accept by here. Won't talk about this over PM. Thanks.
Accept your offer.
Devthedev escrow ?
And I should sign in address that posted in my account right ?
You should sign a message with an address that was posted several months ago if possible. The farther in the past the address was posted the better. The address in the profile does not have any permanent association with the account and should mean nothing when it comes to proving ownership
12194  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: March 06, 2015, 04:52:13 AM
Both the campaign manager for bit-x and 777 have been (temporarily) banned. I might suggest at least temporarily putting an asterisk next to their respective campaigns as IMO the chances of participants receiving payment would go down significantly when the manager is banned. 
12195  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The end of copyright and patent is where we should be headed on: March 06, 2015, 04:39:53 AM
Let's start by taking a look at "open source" software.

According to the general theory that companies need to protect their "intellectual property" (a term I despise) the open source movement should have died almost as soon as it started.

Yet it not only has flourished but made things like Bitcoin possible (there could be no such thing as Bitcoin without open source).

I personally like open source software, and I personally tend to use open source software when I can. However there is often no open source version of what I want/need to use.

The main problem with open source software is that entities do not have the incentive to work on it nor to improve it on any kind of large scale.There are some projects that people contribute good money too because they are working towards a good cause (e.g. tor), however in the grand scheme of things there are very few open source software/projects out there with 'mainstream potential', the likely reason being the lack of commercial incentives for entities to invest in open source projects.

It is really probably a good idea to get clearance from forum administrators prior to posting outside of meta when you are banned.

Generally speaking you should only post in meta (to dispute/appeal your ban) when you are banned.

Why should you invest significant amounts of money to make some kind of invention when you could just wait for someone else to do the 'heavy lifting' for you.
This concern only really matters when you're not pals with the people printing the money (or for those borrowing millions interest-free). When you have that kind of game-rigging happening in the heart of your system, the rules no longer apply.
Most companies do not have the ability to access unlimited amounts of money. Most companies do not have the ability to borrow at near interest free rates.

The interest rates that companies in the US borrow at are set by the markets

Patents are a very important piece of business as they give business the protection they need for their investment in research and development of new technology and products.

That is what is often "claimed" but I've actually seen very little real evidence to back up said claims (but I've seen plenty of evidence to show that patents are being used to stifle innovation by companies that own them yet don't actual "use" them for anything except to prevent others from using a technology that they don't want to succeed).
I would agree that we need some kind of reform when it comes to patient laws. There is an excess amount of litigation regarding patients, and many patients are created just to litigate in the future (and patients are often purchased for the sole purpose of litigation).

With that being said however I think that companies do need protection for their investments they make when inventing something. Why should you invest significant amounts of money to make some kind of invention when you could just wait for someone else to do the 'heavy lifting' for you.
What would stop one of your customers from copying your design? The process would not be as easy as in Soros Shorts's hypothetical example, however someone could reverse engineer a design and dump it on the market.

Reverse engineering was how we got PC clones - but funnily enough IBM didn't go out of business did they?

I honestly cannot say I am familiar with PC clones. However I can say that one of the biggest costs that mining manufacturers have is R&D. If someone was able to skip the R&D phase of developing their miners then they would be able to sell their miners for significantly less then companies that did need to bear this expense.

How would you apply this idea to something closer to home ... something like a Bitcoin mining ASIC? Say you are the owner of a fabless ASIC design firm and you've just spent the last 2 years designing the most efficient 16nm SHA256 mining chip. You send the digital design to a fab for manufacture. Should the fab be able to sell copies of your design to a third party? Or worse, manufacture extra chips using your masks and dump them on the market?

It's very simple - you make a legal agreement with the fab manufacture called a "non-disclosure period" (I am not against those). If they break the agreement then you take them to court (and if you don't trust Chinese courts then just stop using Chinese manufacturing).

Coming to China did lead me to have to challenge my thinking as making money from copies is the model that the company I used to work for employed (and that just doesn't work in China).

But I haven't starved or gone crawling back to "the man" just because people here won't pay for software copies.

There is no limit as to how many accounts you can have/farm. At one point I personally had as many as ~70 accounts, although when you have that many it is very difficult to manage them all without having to resort to spamming.

I would say that if you start to farm much more then 10 or so accounts then you will likely start breaking anti-spam rules if you want them enrolled in any signature campaign or if you want them to have their maximum number of activity points. Having more then that many however would not directly break any forum rules.
