Perhaps you should post the deleted posts, the thread they were in and why you believe they follow the rules.

You are not going to get what you are asking for. You are also not going to get anything by bickering and complaining -- you will need to make an argument as to why your posts should be reinstated.   
2242  Economy / Reputation / Re: [Statement][Warning] Do not send any fund without sign message from btc address. on: March 01, 2019, 05:25:32 AM
So you should ask sign message first before send any fund to my any address. Otherwise your all claim will be invalid.
Lets be realistic, if someone is going to try to ask for a bribe or extort someone, they are not going to want to provide irrefutable evidence they are the one asking for the bribe and/or trying to extort you. They would rather provide circumstantial evidence that shows you that you are talking to who they claim to be.

Similarly, trading with someone who does not ask for a signed message is not a license to scam the person.

I agree it is a best practice to always get a signed message prior to sending money, and to always work out all the little details before finalizing an agreement to trade. There are many imposters on various social media and communications platforms who will try to steal your money.

I am not a fan of regulating companies in telling them how to run their business. They can run it as they see fit, and if they wish to make their private information public they can, and if they don't they shouldn't be forced to.
2245  Other / Meta / Re: How to tell which mod actually deletes a post? on: February 28, 2019, 10:00:46 PM
No. If you have a concern with why a post was deleted, you can PM a global mod, or admin. If you don’t get a response, or if you cannot agree you can open a thread in meta about it.

At the end of the day, the mod is responding to a report from someone (most likely), and is taking action based upon the forum rules. The same action should have been taken regardless of which mod responded to the report.

a left wing agenda

Would a right wing agenda be more acceptable to you?
I don't want any agenda being pushed by political operatives without warning. Left or right wing. I am currently seeing what I believe to be left wing operatives in PS currently.

Guaido is the jockey riding on the Trojan horse of the US. Should we not be able to state this?

You should be able and you are able to state such views in P&S. Just like TECSHARE, Quickseller, bluefirewhatshername, or any other nutjob (not that I consider you a nutjob, JC Wink ) is able to do so as well. I can't see what the problem is, other than Quicksy not liking someone's opinion, again.
The issue is not disliking someone's opinion, it is that I believe propaganda is being spread in PS. A warning that propaganda is not removed and that political operatives may be posting would not stop anyone from posting their opinion, it may however make said propaganda less effective by encouraging people to independently verify claimed facts, and approach conversations with a critical eye.

It's obvious that the US is heavily propagandizing for Guaidó, and other governments (Russia?) are heavily propagandizing for Maduro.
[...]
I think that bitcointalk.org P&S is too small to have direct political operatives, but people are repeating the propaganda they've taken to heart.
If you believe both sides are pushing propaganda, then perhaps a warning to verify information read may decrease its effectiveness. An operative may operate in many forums under many personalities as writing on a forum is a very efficient way to communicate.


Lying and or pushing an alternative agenda is not against the forum rules afaik,
I am not asking these people to be censored:

it is best if the forum doesn’t moderate for truth

You are free to start your own echo chamber thread (self mod'd) and you can circle jerk about Gauido or Maduro or the big bad deep state all you want!
I have seen some people post in what I believe to be bad faith, and what I believe to be outright lies that have no basis in fact. Perhaps they actually believe what they are posting, but I believe they are pushing disinformation.


You definitely don't want me to moderate truth or there would be no anti vax
The anti-vax movement is able to spread solely because of propaganda and lies. If those who believe these lies knew not to take what is said to them at face value then perhaps they would get their kids vaccinated.



There are warnings about scammers all over the marketplace subs. I don't see why there shouldn't be warnings about other people being up to no good other places they might try to create mischief.

No.

I am saying there should be a warning that propaganda and disinformation posted by professionals may be posted.

Discussion with some of these people is not the same as having a discussion with your neighbor, friend or acquaintance.

These people are effectively posting disinformation.

I am not surprised to see you write that...
2253  Other / Meta / Propaganda and political operatives in PS sub on: February 26, 2019, 04:12:46 PM
I would like to start by thanking Flying Helfish for cleaning up the PS sub (and theymos for getting a mod for the PS sub) as political discourse is now allowed, verses previously when there was so much garbage, it was effectively impossible (or very difficult) to have an intelligent discussion.

With the above being said, I have noticed a decent amount of what I believe to be pro-Madura (the illegitimate president of Venezuela) propaganda by a number of posters. These people are effectively posting disinformation.

I have also noticed a number of what I believe to believe left wing political operatives posting. I am unsure if they are the same person/associated with the same entity. They are posting disinformation to push a left wing agenda.

My question is what should be done about this? I obviously believe people should be able to post their opinion, and it is best if the forum doesn’t moderate for truth (and accurate conclusions based on a fact set). 

If nothing else, this thread can serve as a reference to this activity. Perhaps there could be a sticky warning that propaganda and political operatives may be posting in the PS sub and that people should do their own research to form their own conclusions and opinions.

2255  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Wanted to Buy Testnet coins for BTC on: February 26, 2019, 12:41:30 AM
There are multiple faucets for the testnet that give away fairly substantial amounts of coins for free.

It is generally frowned upon to attach any value to testnet coins. I believe at one point many people were buying/trading BTC testnet coins, and to discourage this, a new testnet blockchain was created.
2256  Economy / Lending / Re: Need $1000 Loan. Have collateral on: February 26, 2019, 12:38:04 AM
It appears selling a YouTube channel is against their TOS, and as such the account may get closed if google finds out about it being used as collateral (or of a transfer).

Further, YouTube channels make money because their owners create content that generates ad revenue. However if a channel is transferred, the prior owner would almost certainly not be creating additional content, and without ongoing additional content, the number of views your videos will get will decline (a lot) over time. When the video views go does, so does the ad revenue.

2259  Economy / Reputation / Re: Suspicious loan to 2double0 from hacker1001101001 (marcotheminer involved) on: February 25, 2019, 10:28:41 PM
Firstly Yes I provided a loan to 2double0 after looking at his post in the lending section here


I would like to clarify what Quickseller said here :

The most damming part of the loan to 2double0 is the blockchain activity immidiately prior to hacker1001101001 making the loan. 2double0 asked for the loan to be funded to 1J4YGjWGyWSQ1U8VCTUeXn3XqMxiUhheZ7 and hacker1001101001 funded the loan via txid 9e25bbb34f3c4504f3275c93502afe82efec15ecd04581b1d9f9f19dfc48aa6b, whose inputs are from 1JAYESHqohMYvXS4Do6ZNEYJiwZ588MVKi -- this transaction was confirmed in block 564462, which also confirmed a withdrawal from huobi in the amount of 0.0502 (enough for the loan plus a small amount for the tx fee), but the strange thing is that 8 blocks prior to hacker1001101001 receiving the withdrawal from huobi, he received 0.00001 BTC from 1J4YGjWGyWSQ1U8VCTUeXn3XqMxiUhheZ7 the address 2double0 asked the loan to be funded to. This might be circumstantial evidence that hacker1001101001 may be the same person as 2double0.

The transaction you are talking about which occurred here is the one which I asked 2Double0 to confirm his BTC address by sending me a small amount of BTC to my BTC address. I did this as he said that he holds the address 1J4YGjWGyWSQ1U8VCTUeXn3XqMxiUhheZ7 in his blockchain.com wallet from where he was unable to sign a message. He also sent me some ScreenShots of him logged in with the wallet in his PC.

Form this I confirmed that he was owning an address posted from his account at least 1.5 years ago here and I sent the loan directly to his previous address.
He was asking to have the loan sent to the same address he posted 1.5 years ago. I don't think I understand the logic in asking for a test transaction out of the address you are sending the loan to. Also, as an FYI, it is possible to sign a message from an address in a blockchain.infocom wallet -- you would need to export the private key, or xprivkey via the console then import it into a wallet that can sign messages, or at least this was the case in the past.




I was also informed that 2double0 changed his password one time in May 2015, within one day of when marco changed his password. I don't think this is an indication that either account was sold, and think it is more likely marco was changing all/many of his passwords.

[...]
I would have had more respect for you if you just apologised without the sob story. This is the same old crap everyone else uses when they get banned. You're literally trying to say that you only copy and pasted because your mother was ill. I'm not sure why copy and pasting would take your mind off things as opposed to actually using your mind to come up with a post yourself. You got caught cheating on a signature campaign and likely only did this to hit your quote, and if it was any other shitposter trying these excuses they would be laughed off the forum.

[...]

It seems they can when their "friend" gets caught doing something but they've never made these arguments before for the hundreds of other posters who get caught doing the same. This is a bigger issue than just ChiBitCTy. Do we forgive the thousands of others who have been caught doing the same? Or maybe only when they have a few friends here, haven't read the rules or have an unbelievably pitiful sob story? If we're going to unban people under certain circumstances we may as well stop banning people for copy and pastes and just let the community leave them appropriate feedback instead.

I mostly agree with hilarious's posts. The plagiarism was exactly the same offense as any member of the typical spammer flood, with exactly the same mindset: "I want money -> I need to make x posts with y words to make money -> the easiest way to do that is to copy/paste something from elsewhere", with complete disregard for your own integrity, the health of the forum, the ongoing discussion, or fairness in crediting the actual author. If someone copy/pasted something that was amazingly high-quality and on-topic, I'd understand more (though you'd still get banned), but almost always people copy the first thing that they find on Google. To be so lazy that you won't even make up your own low-quality post, but instead save a few minutes by importing some garbage from the wider Internet, is a massive insult to this forum's community, and is proof that at least in that moment the only thing you cared about was money-making.


You must be out of your mind to even think about doing such an illogical thing. Invest in Bitcoin only that much amount which you can afford to lose. Bitcoin is unregulated, speculative and an unpredictable currency. It looks lucrative only as long as you play things right and that's impossible to predict.
