Didn't notice that. He may just be copying Mitchel's thread, but did you get permission from theymos to advertise there as you need to get the go-ahead from an admin to do that and it's rarely granted?


Three bitcoins is over $20,000. You can't see why someone would just keep that for themselves? There have been campaign managers and escrows that have or have tried to scam for much less. There are several users on the list who I have no reason to trust with such an amount, but that again is why the most held at once is a much better indicator here.

Yeah, it's just way too misleading as it is. Also, very hard to validate and I have absolutely no idea how much money I have held over my lifetime here (and I suspect the others don't and are more likely to be estimates). Anyone could just make a figure up if it's not validated, but it's fairly easy to confirm the total amount someone has held at once and I think that is a more telling figure as that's a figure they have previously been trusted to hold on to. I think listing figures like hundreds of bitcoins could easily mislead or confuse people. Probably should be listed in fiat as well for the reasons I mentioned before.

How about including rank and/or sign-up date?

You should probably clarify or confirm those escrowed amounts as well as some of them seem way off. Are they total amounts held over their lifetime or all at once? I suspect people have given both. They can also be misleading. Somebody holding 1 bitcoin a hundred times doesn't mean they can be trusted with 100 bitcoins. Also, somebody holding 100 bitcoins five years or so ago probably wouldn't even be worth 1 bitcoin now. The figure I gave was the highest amount I've held at any one time and was probably over £10k cash value at the time, and I think things like these should be stipulated as they can be very misleading or even give a false sense of security. In this case I think the highest value people have held at any one time is a better indicator. Somebody could quite easily hold on to many small amounts dozens of times until his total is 10 bitcoins or whatever then just disappear if anyone every gives him a large amount at once.


The one and only. Skurrt skurrt.


You should probably remove the part including theymos (unless he's said otherwise). He may trust me to moderate the forum at a Global level but this doesn't necessarily mean he would vouch for me to hold onto large amounts of cash (or run signature campaigns - not that he doesn't or wouldn't but I feel unless he's specifically said this it shouldn't be here and may give me an unfair advantage).

hidden2209 was already banned. I banned jpeg. Hopefully lots of bots will get exposed by this so report them before they figure it out.

Do you still have access to the account i.e can you log in?

You can't delete your account but staff members can permanently ban it for breaking certain rules.

Nobody knows what your intention is because your English is barely coherent.


This is nonsensical. Do you want tips on how to make good posts? You want suggestions for what makes an interesting thread? Gonna make it extraordinary? Gonna make what extraordinary?

Those just seem to be bounty/account farmers as opposed to paid bump bots. If all their posts are just generic crap like that report them and I'll ban them.

We're doing both the bracket challenge and correct score predictions then adding the points together.

Just under two weeks to go now before the start.

You can argue whether we're volunteers or not. Staff are paid every month, but we're not technically employees.

What account? If it's been hacked they will have changed the email address so nothing will arrive.

What thread was it from? Sometimes threads are necrobumped and your reply might be relevant and helpful but the necrobump likely wasn't. I often see people falling victim to this.

Salah could have a broken leg and his head dangling off by a thread and the Egyptian FA would release a statement saying they're optimistic he'll be fit for the World Cup. He's their only hope for them to get out the group so they're pretty desperate, but even with him I doubt they'll do much.

Where did I say that? I think you deserve everything you got due to your behaviour. If you had changed your ways I would have asked the users to remove it but you didn't. The trolling and stupidity just got worse even after Marl removed your original negative.

No. You shouldn't be giving merits away unless they deserve it. Giving merits just so your friend/schoolmate/auntie/neighbour can rank up defeats the purpose of merit.

I take it 'waynechong1995' is your "friend".

Keep a list of them or post them in Meta. I've been monitoring which threads this is happening in and locking the threads.


This might be a good idea.

Please only bump your thread once every 24 hours and remove the previous bump when you do. Thanks.

This users posts look like they're being copied or translated from somewhere but not getting any hits:

Please don't provide any context. How is anybody goimg to be able to help you here without you posting what sort of posts have been removed and from where?
