Fair enough, though I suppose the discussion could be continued in the my suggestion thread, but up to you.

I might have had some sympathy for you but it's clear you are not here to contribute. You just want to spam worthless contributions to earn and rank up in the process. You were banned for this very thing and yet are continuing to do it on this account: How will the process work? I mean, how do I use PMA tokens?
How will the process work? I mean, how do I use darwins tokens?
How will the process work? I mean, how do I use INGOT COIN tokens?
You don't care about the answer to those questions. You're just doing it because the only effort it requires is you changing the name of the crapcoin ICO.

I don't think all of those ideas are good. I didn't say they all were, but it's more of a brainstorming session and people are free to chime in if they think they're good, bad or why they won't work. Some probably may not solve much or annoy more users than they benefit, but I'd rather propose something and it be shot down or improved upon with a better solution than say nothing and watch the forum continue to burn in the process. For example "Implementing a redirect notice/landing page for when users click an external link urging them to double check the url for phishing and possibly warning them of the dangers of buying things from autobuy links and that they should likely use a trusted escrow etc)." would really slow me down.
If you have an issue with clicking bad links, download firefox or an adblocker and it'll show you the links you're hovering over before you click them. Pretty sure most if not all browsers show you the link when you hover over it but that isn't the point for several reasons. People can click on the links accidentally as I almost have a few times and when the domain is very similar upon first glance it's not always easy to tell. That's usually how they sucker people in. Users are also getting scammed by buying things from autobuy links and they often come from google without signing up and the sellers feedback isn't shown (which is often painted in red). Sure, they should probably be more careful with what they buy and from who but this is just an additional safety measure. It could easily be toggled on/off in settings if people didn't like it but I have seen this feature on many forums and websites so it obviously has its purposes. Can we stop making threads that have @theymos in the subject, I have spotted two and I'm already really annoyed.
Some people are also really annoyed that he barely ever replies to PMs or the numerous threads created about suggestions to make this forum a better place or get help with simple issues. Things not getting done is annoying for everyone just as I'm sure it's annoying for theymos constantly being bothered about them. I'm really annoyed that I get messages pretty much every day containing a variation of the phrase "I messaged theymos and cyrus but didn't get response" and it's usually always about things only they can do. Usually creating these sorts of threads is the last resort and only option left to get his attention. In fact, I even had to do it a while ago and it even worked.

You're being a bit disingenuous with your facts here. I responded at least three times to you: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FPJo8eoz.jpg&t=663&c=QpLlxUYF6KanQQ) You just don't like the answers and I'm not going to waste my time saying the same thing over and over to the same questions you've already asked. I told you why your thread was likely moved but I wasn't the one who did it. Why don't you just archive or take a screenshot of the thread if it's imperative that you need to link to it?

Turns out that it was me who in fact banned you. You wouldn't have been banned for merely being on the Elon city campaign though, so it was either a mistake on my part or you did do something wrong in some capacity but it can't be confirmed either way. I unbanned the account since I can't be sure. If you are completely innocent then I apologise for that.

I have read the OP but maybe i did miss it, if yes then forgive me in advance, but there is one thing i would like to suggest. I think it is a good idea if you include this kind of message to the newbie welcome message If you are not a native english speaker, it is a great idea to visit your Local Board first and learn about this forum from there.
Well, i am not good with the words, but the point is to point them out to the Local Board since not all of us are native english speaker and members might come from any country. Thanks. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Maybe actually read what is written first before pointlessly suggesting things?

Restricting signatures to certain ranks has been requested before in various formats, but I wholeheartedly agree with you. Juniors should require a minimum merit achievement of at least one merit and I think signatures should only be available to Members and above. Ten merit and being here two months isn't much to ask. Legions of bot armies are managing to get themself onto campaigns which are all too happy to pay them and this will never stop as long as all you need is 30 activity to become a Junior which bots can easily get.

Where does it say seven days? It looks like a permaban to me.

Thanks for your answer. If only my Eloncity's signature is not my reason to ban and I didn't "copy/past" in my only one post in global thread and in other local post's (proof from Xal0lex https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4861725.msg44151817#msg44151817 ) , so who can tell me the reason of my ban? Help me please to solve my problem. Is there a technical opportunity to see who and for what banned a certain user? The admins can see who banned who, but you probably won't find out the actual reason why that happened unless someone recalls why. It was either a mistake by staff (which will occasionally happen), or you did in fact break some rule. I'll PM theymos about it.

I think I found who and why banned my acc! I take part to Signature Campaign in the Eloncity Bounty Program - Extension https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4443361.02018-08-17 Global Moderator hilariousandco send negative trust to bounty manager with text: I've lost count of how many users I've banned baring the ElonCity signature. Absolutely appallingly run signature campaign. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=14213582018-08-18 Grace - admin Krypital Bounty Program posted in telegram group this text: Recently, our Eloncity bitcointalk account got a mute warning. We've contact the admin and the reason is that we posted two signature campaigns on the same forum. While the eloncity 1st part ended on 8/2/2018 and the 2nd part started on 8/3/3018. There is no overlap. We appealed and now is waiting for the reply from the admin. Thanks for caring. Please follow us for more details. http://prntscr.com/kk6jrmIf this is really reason of my ban than tell me please what kind of rules I violated ? I can't comment on whether I banned you or not because I honestly don't know. I probably ban hundreds of users a month and I have personally banned at least 50 users baring the ElonCity signature alone for copy and pasting, but having their signature alone isn't enough to get you a ban nor does the above info you posted mean it was me. If you were banned then it was likely for a good reason and if you copied and pasted someone else's content then that's why. I previously searched your username both in Meta, the report queue and Staff forum and found nothing and I usually only act on information from one of those so I can't help you, but if you did copy and paste another's post or content from another website then that's why you were banned.

A couple players have some concerns about the lack of 'privacy' in Superbru and want a predictor site like what BBC had. I suggest somebody find a better site and suggest it to hilarious.
Tbh I really don't mind Superbru's lack of 'privacy' but I don't mind playing in a BBC predictor-esque site either. I just don't want some players leaving the pool.
Edit: Btw I'm in.
What lack of privacy exactly? I won't be changing site unless there's something much better. Superbru is likely as good as you're going to get though.

It won't be unbanned. Create a new account and don't do the same thing again.
Why are you suggesting he do that, exactly? Why not? That's what everyone else does. There's not a single admin looking into ban evasion so it's futile (or looking into anything else for that matter). You could have one hundred accounts banned and evade it on your 1000 others and the admins won't look into it. Rules are pointless when they're not enforced. Might as well just let people copy and paste since nobody cares about doing anything about it and if it wasn't for me and rickbig I doubt anyone would do that at all.

I understand that ban forever. ((( (Can the trial period be somehow?)

I want to be an active user of your forum and participate in its further development! Thanks, Regards lipochka_s
You don't. You want to copy other's posts in order to get paid. Pure laziness and greed.

It's forever. Looks like you were copying users posts. We don't need those sorts of users here as they're not here to contribute to discussion.

One would say that Bitcoin Sections are extremely undermerited looking at the numbers, but I'd say that Merit Sources do visit those boards. Nevertheless, we also find plenty of spam there (Bitcoin Discussion), and the really technical stuff is not that easy to follow and neither do those sections have a large amount of posts on a daily basis.
In the words of "great" Donald Trump. Bitcoin Discussion board is a "shithole" and I don't blame merit sources for not visiting that place often. But people helping out in the technical stuff do deserve to be merited. They are the ones who are actually "Helping" the users here. That's why I believe we should assign merit sources to different boards so that right people are meriting the right folks. You don't want a merit source who knows nothing about Bitcoin technicalities meriting users in that board. Bitcoin discussion has become largely unusable. It's just full of farmers churning out their generic one liners. Go in any thread and play spot the farmer. How many can you find on this page here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4820477.1140Three merit for anyone if you can catch them all. Can you spot them on this page and the one after? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4868904.804 merit for swatting the 4 bots there. Remove signatures from Junior so these scumbags aren't going to get paid by some crapcoin ICO as soon as they've made 30 posts. Let's see how long it takes them to get ten merit to become a Member. Probably never. If you earn ten merits then you've earned your right to have a signature.
