While I generally only exclude people cased on the feedback accuracy, I have also placed exclusions for what I consider to be overreactions or a misuse of their perceived power as a DT member, I've done this for non DT as well. That generally applies to a newer member who cultivated enough trust to find their way in. I'll admit I rarely know or care who is actually on DT-1.

For me personally this situation shows poor judgement on their part, but needs to be reviewed based on each case. If they have anything less than this reaction:


I might consider them to have poor character and be weary of including them in my list, as they may require more monitoring than it is worth. I agree that we all make mistakes and in the same way we shouldn't be leaving negative feedback for these users I wouldn't outright exclude them. A lot of these members have redeemed themselves over time and that's the only reason they aren't permabanned. There are other who are still whining about the leniency they've been shown this would be enough for me to remove them from my list but not necessarily exclude them. I see that lack of self awareness as problematic and possibly a reflection of the feedback they may leave.

The thing is given enough time anyone can redeem or disqualify themselves in my eyes, so my list can remain fluid.

Thanks Phil that's who responded to my email this time around. I'm waiting on an update for the shipdate as well, not to disappointed though. This way I can get my spare parts for the M10 shipped out at the same time. Just wondering did any of us grab anything besides the M20S, might not be a lot of diversity in these reviews .

Pretty sweet deal, to be able to get in on that now. Looking forward to your review as well Hagss.

Thanks QS, I'll get that worded in there. I'll also let yazher know of the changes as they reached out today and translated this topic to their local board.

I am offering up my Avatar space and Personal Text for your advertising needs. I am open to terms that suite your needs with the minimum being 7 days. There is no guarantee on a minimum number of posts - I post anywhere from 20-60 posts in a week, and maintain several reference threads.

Conditions:

• Must comply with forum rules
• I reserve the right to refuse offers at my discretion
• Payment and offers are to be made in BTC
• Service can be discontinued at my discretion - refunds will be prorated
• Client may end agreement at anytime, refunds will be discretionary
• No services in competition with my Signature advertisement

So if you want to give my highly skilled Stuart a break I look forward to your offers. You may PM me to discuss if you want but I prefer conversations within the thread; or at least the final details.

Bill will be unavailable for the next 60 days or so. So do not expect a reply from them for the time being.

Apologies if things have changes.

Maybe I have no idea but I doubt it. It could be more related to the fact that we having been running with extra specially added members for a while.

Given the current climate I wouldn't rush to accept people either, could be more unexpected bans in the community.

Yeah I figured there was going to be a delay, when I checked with them last week and they were very low on details. Who do you chat with about it, I'm having a hard time figuring out the best ways to communicate with them. Seems to be telegram, but I'm not sure what Shaun's (might have spelled it wrong) role is there. I'm going to see if I had a name from my communication from when I ordered the demo.

I'm looking to try and have them package a PSU and bridge board to send out with my demo so I can see what part is lame on my M10. It's tough working through the language barrier at times when you throw them a non standard situation.

I figured the same, Chris Likely reported it. They like to use the system to suite their needs. A lot of people have had mini discussions here and there in other threads. I think when I get some time over the next few days maybe I'll reach out to some interested parties and try and come up with a compelling argument for change. I try to keep an open mind but I don't think restricting locked or self-mod topics (from marketplace) all together or to some degree will be anything but a net positive.

No you are wrong. I didn't buy my hero account. It is the laziest way to come here and try to earn without doing any learning.

Account sales are a plague, and serve no benefit to anyone other than the greedy individuals on both sides of the deal.

Good call Phil. That's right up there with the escrow everything but shipping.  I'll always appreciate you helping me and others out in 2017 when that happened.

Chris - Either you escrow the full amount or you escrow none. That includes having the buyer put shipping costs in escrow. Anything less is not safe for the  buyer. If your gear is legit then you are safe.

I think it was any of the units under 800$ were tariff free. I know there were coupons out when they went over 799, that brought them low enough. Iirc it is only the purchase price that matters not the shipping.

Threads looking good. I just noticed a forgotten word I believe in the OP - No Collateral portion


I'm sure you've already thought of this and maybe the danger has passed. There's a chance the Bot might still pick up some of the members you wouldn't expect for Plagiarism. It's just an additional bit of risk until it's completed the first sweep whenever that is. Other than that good luck with everything, should I ever need again you will be my first stop. 

I read the post quite clearly. I made my response a little ambiguous so I'll elaborate a little.

First scenario is someone who doesn't want to pay taxes in their country if they apply, would probably accept a 3% loss, as opposed to a 10-40% loss in taxes.
Second scenario is someone who values their privacy and doesn't want to many deals made in the same fashion (exchanges, previous trades) might happily pay 3% to have another option.

Then there's the fact that the price can easily fluctuate this much either way so if you first have to get it to an exchange and pay any associated fees, it could be worth it to jump on this offer. Regardless people can come here and place whatever they want for their terms, they either find someone or they don't.

I'm curious what are you asking for this model and are you willing to ship to Canada? I'm in no rush so just get back to me when you can

People do it all the time. There are a lot of people out there that would rather get 97% of what they may get on an exchange than have their dealing known or tracked. Getting the percentages to go your way just depend on who you are dealing with and how much they're willing to wiggle; most people will try and push this to a 1:1 deal.

I added a section at the end. Feel free to let me know if you feel I missed something. Thanks for the suggestion

Glad you find the content worthwhile. I believe around the time I created it a Mod from a different board had PM'd about getting it added. Nothing ever happened with that so I use it as a link when I find threads that are lacking in the marketplace.

I have seen some people who use the lock-topic to try and avoid spam. I still think it's best to just report posts to be dealt with, because most are using this as an attempt to scam users. I'd personally like to see no unlocking of locked-topics or self modding in sales threads, they're overwhelmingly scammy. Some may find this to restrictive, so in the meantime I just try to spread awareness.

Odds are it is best to just place it in with your current thread. You'll just have to create another section to your OP explaining the format to apply for the different loans, and maybe some stipulations about the types of candidates you're looking for (if you're placing restrictions).

While it is a similar service there are differences, and I'd say there are enough you may be able to warrant a second topic. Have you considered a PM to Cyrus or Hilariousandco for their opinion.

Seeing as the quoted guideline does mention at moderator discretion. I tend to apply it towards the buying and selling of goods, not so much services being offered. That could be that I haven't seen it abused in that way yet.

Just a suggestion here, for when you recover a hacked account for someone. Can you please inform them they should delete that accounts posts from the time of the hack. It seems there has been the odd case where a user has had their account returned and then carries on in blissful ignorance until one of the hackers posts gets them into trouble. This could be simply an add-on to the email or whatever recovery message you send. Sorry if you already do this and they just ignore it.

Here is the case that made me think of it this morning. AlexRus227

You might not even need to create a new thread. In your Ban message there should have been an email for a Ban appeal. That would be where I start after this I would also send one more. Considering the forum has a contract company handling recoveries they were likely the ones who recovered your account.

It might be worth following this Recovering hacked/lost accounts, if you email them just explain your case and mention that you've already emailed Ban appeals. This might make it easier for an Admin to review your Ban appeal, there is also an Admin at the head of this team.

This whole process may take some time as they have been reviewing a lot of bans recently. When you recover your account be sure to clean up all the hackers messages this time.

If I'm thinking the right company this is essentially Bitmain's newest cloud mining operation, they just re-branded and launched under this branch as I believe their previous service was seeing dwindling sales/customer satisfaction. They are as legitimate as they can be for this type of service. Laughable at how lazy they were in creating their own banner.
