One of the arguments serial scammer Dean Nolan used as an attempt to silence critics was that no investors or token holders were coming forward to complain, it was a lie of course as they did. However, the same counter-argument can be made here.... why is no token holder or investor coming out and fighting the flags against serial scammer Dean Nolan? AFAIK there was an investor group of fairly-large holders of BKB. They were planning a class action suit but I'm not sure where that went. Disgruntled investors don't want to scare away the user that holds their funds. Given Dean's response to dissent, I'm surprised he held out as long as he did. |

Be careful plz, and how can i upload images? A moderator can plz take action for this guy ? You have to either rank up to Jr. Member or buy a Copper Membership to directly post images. However, if you have the links, we can use the BBCode to post it for you. Like a proxy service. |

Most trusted members on Bitcointalk? I think not. This thread is not a joke! Minerjones and Lauda have gone rogue!After we secure enough merit sources, it will be easy to create a cycle without having it be obvious. All that is necessary is a 4 to 6 cycle loop between the major players, suchmoon and Lauda. Then, the distribution can get to the tail-end where we'll hit users like these. LoyceV can serve as an external member. They can act as a proxy by creating lots of analytics threads and redirect the merit to our accounts. The Russian local forum is quite lenient on account sales, so we can direct our approach there.
a joke it was, and how we laughed |

More paid Memberships wouldn't hurt either and at least it would essentially kill the account farming/hacking market in the process. I'm surprised it isn't already dead. How do users expect to purchase accounts when the emails can be reset within 14 days? The hassle, I assume, should outweigh the benefits. Maybe just ignorance?
As long as something can be gained with less input than the anticipated outcome (i.e. low-GDP countries house residents that have a lower average value of time) you'll have account farmers trying to accumulate high-ranking accounts. Paid memberships might lower the amount of farmers somewhat but I don't think it'll be highly significant. |

He already suffers from Stockholm syndrome. The way he posts here defending the very same serial scammer that stole his ICO investment as well as other millions from the betking investors and winners alike, shows he is not thinking rationally. Serial scammer Dean Nolan has sold a sob story and he believes it. Not so sure that he believes it at all. I find it very unlikely. They seem to retreat when they run out of options and come back to attack arbitrarily. There can be no real defence of serial scammer Dean Nolan, there might just be one or two who participate in an act or charade. It will be interesting to see who (if anybody) decides to defend betking and its serial scammer owner Dean Nolan against the accusations that Loyce has so fantastically listed in the flags. Anyone who truly disagrees and thinks that BetKing is not untrustworthy should oppose the flag. |

I love empty 2 GB blocks.  What people fail to realize is a paid subscription service that copies data hourly from an existing website ( http://OpenWeatherMap.org ) and pastes it into BSV blocks accounts for 98.4% of BSV transactions over the past 30 days Beautiful. That's worth the hundreds in disk space that I have to pay for to maintain my blockchain history. I love keeping track of the weather. |

Removing the altcoin section altogether makes more sense than trying to make people pay for it, when no one will.
But this also removes a large portion of the btctalk membership which is only here for the altcoin sections.
Less active membership , lower views count on ads , less money made by the btctalk forum in general,
so unless the forum wants to cut their ad revenue , not a profitable idea.
But one that many Bitcoin Maximalist are in favor of. Maximizing ad revenue is not what Bitcointalk was made for. It's not exactly a profit-driven site, otherwise it would look a lot worse than it currently is Would it? If we got rid of signature campaigns and the only way you could adverse here was via ad slots imaging how much spam would disappear over night. I don't think we need to litter the forum with ad slots but that's essentially what we have right now anyway, only it's done in a destructive way. I was referring to the kind of website with banner ads all-over. Say goodbye to the border of your page. Think "faucet site" kind of ads... save for pop-ups, because those are horrible. And besides, I did allude to the current state of the forum in regards to spam.
Removing signatures will at-least keep spam confined to the Altcoin section with the various social media report bumps. |

Report unnecessary, contrived, vague, and general posts.
Most threads should last no longer than 3 pages. Lock them after they cease to be of use.
Rule of thumb is that if a thread exceeds 1 page, the topic is either very complex/interactive...
or it's being dragged-along through regurgitated replies or a separate discussion which is better-suited to another thread (or a few).

If it was not a Profit driven site, then their would be No ADs.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Price flatteningAt the end of the auction, after the winning bids are all determined, I will do a "price flattening" operation. This has no effect on which bids actually win. For each bid, in order of lowest to greatest price/slot, I will reduce each bid's price/slot to the highest value which is equal to or only the minimum increment greater than the next-lower bid. This allows you to bid higher prices without worrying so much, but you still mustn't bid more than you're willing to pay. Example: This:
Slots BTC/Slot Person
6 0.20 A
1 0.16 B
1 0.08 C
1 0.08 D
Becomes:
Slots BTC/Slot Person
6 0.10 A [step 4: reduced to 0.09+0.01=0.10]
1 0.09 B [step 3: reduced to 0.08+0.02=0.09]
1 0.08 C [step 2: same as the next-lowest, unchanged]
1 0.08 D [step 1: the lowest bid is always unchanged]
Plus, the ads are fairly restrictive and rare. For a higher profit, theymos could have made it a lot more flexible for advertisers. Or disabled the "Hide ads" button? |

Don't forget that private coin Facebook is stablecoin.This fact suggests that the Libra coin a priori will not be able to compete,at least with bitcoin and Ethereum.Libra will not be able to be king.Among other things, it will be a centralized coin.Yet the crypto community only trusts decentralized coins. (eyes point toward Ripple) Beyond it all, most people would say they trust decentralized coins but weak wills fall to the bandwagon. After all, fiat is still strong, innit? Centralized cryptocurrencies are still going, aye? Privacy and trustless services are traded for convenience.
Don't expect the general public to conform to an anarchic belief. It's a prisoner's dilemma for most. |

The BIG blockers have gotten on this kind of Shelby/annuymint dumb ass talking point for at least a year and a half now, in some kind of desperate attempt to stifle segwit adoption by propagating baloney pie in the scenarios that are largely just nonsubstantiated FUD spreading campaigns. I love empty 2 GB blocks. |

All these typical "mining investment" ponzis...
I see they're still thriving. Maybe some people think that because it requires work/surveillance that it's more trustworthy than a typical get-rich-quick scheme?
Supported.

Another Newbie spammer opening a thread, trying to fish for Merit. I've been repeating this so often, I am starting to feel like a spammer myself. "Nothing new to say" the guy says. Check your post history mate.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Threads like these will pop up, whether it's merit-begging (subtle or not subtle) or otherwise. Just vote with your merit or rather, abstinence thereof.
Necrobumps are a problem, though. |

I want BillyBurns to put his money where his mouth is and start opposing the flags. Currently, none of the accounts' flags have any opposition.
I wonder why.

Stake.com is one of the fastest growing gambling sites here, they will be back they need promotion to keep their investors updated and to recruit new gamblers, Steve has learned a lot of lessons here I'm sure he will become a better manager next time, at least everybody got paid here. As far as I know, there are no investors excluding the ones running the site. I recall that neither Stake nor Primedice take investors (publicly or privately, IIRC). Pretty vague reply, mate. Almost as if you just read the title and a few posts at the tail-end of the thread. |

Great story but I think this thread should be moved to Offtopic. Bitcoin Discussion, maybe. Meta is about the forum, not that of Bitcoin. " Discussion about the Bitcoin Forum." |

Is it a permanent ban? Most permanent bans come from plagiarism, though most of your post history consists of one-liners that may constitute as spam.
If you could just paste the ban message, that would be great. (Someone else could possibly find the plagiarised post with whatever tool they may have)

Maybe it's analogous to the ponzi situation, where a board was created in order to redirect spam that would contaminate useful sections (which are at this point not-so-useful either) |

I would report it if I feel the bump is a necro one. Just report what you feel is wrong, don't really only on the rules. At least that is the impression I got from Theymos' comments from some time ago. That's just it, though. Sometimes I'll report a necrobump that I think is towards a fairly-inactive thread (i.e. 4mo). Then, the report is left unhandled and in comes another 5 pages of spamposts that are responding to now-irrelevant replies to the thread. |

Are you saying that you plagiarised yourself? (Or perhaps an alternate account of yours?)
