I think our participants and we both know what it means, and our payments are rolling out every week on the point, so nobody should be worried about how some third party understands the thread title.
@Decoded: Spam all you want, posts in this thread are excluded

IIRC Sirius also owns bitcointalk.org (the domain), not theymos. That atleast was the case last time this was discussed.

For further information: Who would be main admin if theymos was unable to carry on?

Go out and do it. I dare you.
But until you have done so, please don't cry about those that are actually doing something, right now. Because you are not.

A user enrolled in the FortuneJack signature campaign, hence out of the reach of SMAS. FortuneJack neither employs a dedicated signature campaign manager (at least none I know of/publicly recognized), and I'm not sure if their campaign is ran automated (which would most likely mean posts not being read in any way before them paying for those).

You can report the user/campaign to hilariousandco (reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1684035.0) or to Cyrus, and check if the situation is enough for giving a warning to the advertiser.

That would mean just because there are more shitposters and sig-spammers than users who want to fight that problem, we would not be allowed to do anything about it.

theymos as head admin is on the helm of this, and while there are a few things one could criticize about their actions, this recent (and upcoming) initiative against (signature) spam is none of it.
Bitcointalk wasn't created so that people who don't give a single fuck about bitcoin itself can make their income from posting bullshit.

That's good. I almost spilled my morning coffee.

First off, SMAS is not a service, we're not "selling" SMAS, we're not actively offering SMAS to others (although they are free to adapt to our lists).
SMAS is an initiative, and in no way brutal. Cutting off your earning options when you are shit-posting is what you should expect.
SMAS doesn't prohibit you from posting/participating/being a part of the bitcoin community, it only removes your financial incentive to spam, as you have shown previously you can't handle it.

Neither I, nor my alt account, are currently enrolled in any signature campaign. my alt never was, and I only recently joined ACE (when I was a hero member), before I wasn't ever paid for my signature either.
Stop the baseless accusations, if you got no leg to stand on.

Blablabla, conspiracy, blablabla, calumny, blablabla.

Nope. I'm in DT because of Blazed (and partly due to Shorena), and only because of that. Your support has nothing to do with that.

You have nothing against me, but you're prune to calumny, gossip and making assumptions that reflect badly on me without having one iota of proof for it.
Sounds reasonable.

Nowhere in my post do I claim to have a history on this forum going further back than my registration date. I did some lurking back in 2014, but that's doing nothing to the discussion.
I do have another account (it's not hard to find, I even marked it and listed it in the known alts), but that's not connected with this in any given way.
As for forum policy, you can have as many accounts as you like. Not that this is something I would support/encourage, but it's how things currently are.

It's still off-topic. I don't want to move this into a self-moderated thread in the reputation board as I find meta more fitting for it, but you guys are giving me a hard time about it.
How about you discuss matters related to single accounts in Reputation, have your fights there, and we continue discussing the topic here, SMAS, our lists, fighting spam and general discussion about post quality on this forum.

(Fun fact: I was managing the first known alts thread and lauda is OP of the current fork that is being updated now. We do read it.)

There's another alt account of them, www.girlbtc.com^[1] (for reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1665898.0).

I also suspect brutosBTC^[2] to be controlled by the same user (or at least connected to them), but I couldn't find sufficient proof for that yet.

This campaign has ended, it's over and we don't enroll any more users.

Lock the thread, move it to archival, start a new one that is self-moderated.

Mods don't change threads to self-moderated when there are already posts in those threads.
If you post in a self-moderated thread, there is a clear warning on top and you know OP can remove your posts.
If a thread would get self-moderated at a later point, early posters wouldn't know about this, hence the policy.

Thanks for looking into it. A few points:
- I've contacted Anduck immediately after zepher posted this thread, they are pretty sure the account changed hands based on recent posts/language.
- The original owner isn't hard to locate (we got a good idea where he is) and str4wm4n isn't the most generic nick either, especially when used several times on different sites/boards.
- If this account was indeed either hacked or bought, it was probably for a long time now and the user waited an unusual time for their "exit scam".

Stop smoking crack.

You didn't delete a bunch of old posts/had some old posts deleted by mods recently?
You could have theoretically reached 900 activity based on your registration date,
however there's a big posting gap between June 2014 and February 2015 on your account.

That's not really something you should discuss in a public thread.
If you need support, as I suggested to you in chat already, contact the support team either via the mail address or via our helpdesk.
If you lost access to your mail, provide sufficient proof that you are the original owner of the account, else we can't allow you to withdraw coins from it.

That's fitting for most threads that run over a long course of time (for example, I doubt the first repiles in the Primedice thread have any relevance today).
Usually, that shouldn't disturb, but that's your decision.

You can only start a self-moderated thread from the beginning, there's no option to make it self-moderated later.

Lock your thread, move it to Archival. Start a new one that is self-moderated.

No. Yes. Yes. No. Yes.
