Updated OP with several examples (possibly more to come)

Stunna and MICRO can hardly do anything to control these scumbags. It would be better if someone awards him a negative trust so that people can be more serious towards what are they going to open. They can ban his IP address (if he isn't behind a VPN/tor) or report him to law enforcement if he is trying to steal from their customers

Are you able to sign a message from an address posted on an old unedited post?

I somewhat doubt that a gaming account is going to be worth ~$400 to anyone. When(not if) you don't repay the lender is not going to be able to sell it for the loan amount.

How is it that you were in need of .1 less then 24 hours ago and now only need .055? Where did the other .045 come from?

The forum does not moderate potential scams. If it were to do so if it were to not moderate a potential investment or trade and such turned out to be a scam then the forum would have essentially endorsed a scam.
As you pointed out there is no way that investment can be legit and any reasonable adult will likely come to the same conclusion. Anyone investing should know they are playing a game of musical chairs and will likely lose their money.
You can report it via the report to moderator button on the bottom right of a post however the action taken will be the report being marked as a bad report if you are reporting it because it is a ponzi/scam and it has broken no other rule, and is posted in the correct section.
Thank you for your clear explanation. Too bad but understandable. I guess people will have to learn the hard way. Only upside to that is that people who learn it that way really learn something..... The other day I saw a post from someone in one of cloudmining-scam-threads, who invested more than he could afford to lose in order to earn money for medicine for his dad. Harsh lesson that surely will not be forgotten. If he lives in the US then the medicine will most likely be socialized as you can get health insurance very easily under the ACA that has certain minimum coverage requirements. I don't think the lesson will be remembered. If that person did not gamble in a cloud mining operation then he probably would have gambled it somewhere else. If he had invested in a "legit" cloud mining operation then he would have still lost money because of the fact it is overpriced. IMO if you have money then you need to act like an adult, do your own due diligence and use common sense. This forum allows young people to register (they do not ask your age) however the target market is older people who are adults. (P.S. were you talking about hashie? If you were they were affiliated with AM1 and were endorsed by your signature as of several weeks ago)

I don't think the forum started to archive deleted posts until after a topic that old would likely have been deleted. It is possible that the topic was moved to the trashcan (which is a section the staff can see) however I imagine this was only implemented only after the forum reached a certain size. I am not sure when theymos started managing the site however it could have been after he made that post. If you look at topics 1, 2 and 4 you will see that topics 1 and 2 were satoshi testing various features of SMF and topic 4 was regarding various housekeeping issues. I would personally speculate that satoshi was testing a feature to delete topics/posts in this thread.

It is too late for both of you. Blazr has proved that he is the real Moreia and there is a very high chance that someone was able to copy your signed message.
Yes , but I can always sign a message with any requested word .... so I can prove all the time that I'm redsn0w. Anyone can now produce a signed message that says they are redsn0w. Others may not be savvy enough to ask for a signed message with a specific message with the date

You both seriously need to learn to date your signed messages. Now anyone can potentially impersonate you by producing the same signature/message/address combination
I've fixed the old signed message ( you can see it in the moreia signature) and anyone can easily ask a signed message with the date or a specific word. @moreia_alt can you provide a new signed message with the date ? It is too late for both of you. Blazr has proved that he is the real Moreia and there is a very high chance that someone was able to copy your signed message. no your not! you're an imposter - I am the real moreia, here is the proof: -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- This is the Real Moreia -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- 1AbPEJEGeuvXDoD2qGeYf8P5TB6nwseNrQ HNxfWiK4YyYVlbY0Gpe3E2vsef7BEc2O573UnMGRG/HeY72Y1DXooYQBXr8DsSq8BY939zLf622HmkiLTc+BBD8= -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Don't sign vague messages! I facepalmed so hard. Anyone can use this signed message to pretend to be you now. lol

Well besides my car title for a 2008 335 XI BMW and a watch and WoW account not much, but what else could I use to scale $400 ? Isnt there a service where I can LEGALLY be obligated to pay it?? I wish local BTC'ers would meet up right now lol =(
I wouldn't be able to take possession of your car title tonight and unless you are very close to me I would not be able to take possession of your watch (even if I could I would not be able to verify it is in fact worth $400+ tonight). I could care less about your legal obligation to repay, as people are really obligated to repay loans that they do not pay every day, people take abuse the bankruptcy system all the time. I am looking for a financial incentive for you to repay, e.g. something defaults back to me (that I already have in my possession) in the event you do not repay you are correct on all sides. but as his first posts states he needs it asap. so having a 24/7 hour escrow or any collateral would suffice. but again that is hard to do since, its hard to loan, buy,sell btc. He needs some kind of altcoin collateral that he can transfer (almost) instantly, which he does not appear to have (I would have thought he would have offered it right away if he did)

its always hard to buy bitcoin when in a rush and vice versa. There needs to be some type of service thats meets those needs.
Agreed, or at least an escrow that legally obligates you to pay, like a pro form statement where legally if its not paid you can take assets (car title, watch etc) Dam you guys really have a good idea there, is it legally possible? This would/could be huge, although there is already a few lending sites, one with liability would clean up. Any loan that you take out legally obligates you to repay the loan. The problem that we have here is that the legal obligation is very difficult to enforce for a number of reasons, one major one being is that this site values privacy (which is a good thing) so it is very easy to "hide" behind tor and/or a VPN or other IP masking service I understand and I guess what I'm looking for is a leap of faith which does not seem to happen in the BTC industry! Totally understandable and irrational for me to think someone will trust me out of the blue on this one lol! Im in Tampa Florida if anyone's near me that would be easier for collateral !
You are nowhere near me

What collateral do you have?
|
|
|
If you have nothing more then your account as collateral then you will not be able to get a .2 loan. Lenders tend to lend much less when using full member accounts as collateral
|
|
|
This is buying trust which is frowned upon here

Do you have a link as to where your collateral trades?

The only reason I can think of that you will not publish it is because you do not have enough Bitcoin yet
Want to bet? You can see when the incoming transaction happened so you would know that I did not transfer it now. No because that bet can easily be manipulated either by paying someone to sign a message for you that has enough bitcoin to pay or by sending from an exchange that will likely send from an address that has enough bitcoin to pay now. There is no reason why you would need to keep a address secret like this. It is not really hard to find the address. This is it: https://blockchain.info/address/1GHg4PFHBZn55TWzoCP3q1fwvrHDKXWin6How do you know for sure that's the address? Nice job if it is! carra could have done the exact same thing that he did. He could have checked the block chain that matches a certain criteria and then described an address that matches. Until carra can sign a message from an address containing enough funds to pay everyone I would assume that he does not yet have the funds
