That does sound like a lot of hassle indeed. I hope it's worth it. Also you probably did the right thing by PM-ing those who had there PMs exposed. It's a good time to remind people that PM stands for personal message, not private message... Note: PM privacy is not guaranteed. Encrypt sensitive messages. Do/did you get any compensation for the effort you had to put into this?

Lol, cherrypicking doesn't substantiate your claim, pal. You should also realize that you aren't in good company since my claims are backed up by this thread. Talk about losing before the battle even started. LMAO! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) How is taking the most recent posts cherry picking? For what it is worth I found the thread entertaining and I've certainly contributed to those triple digits daily views. But I also found it mostly off-topic and fairly useless in stopping / warning newbies about BFL's evil ways. Now tell me again how giving my opinion equals losing a battle and how you've substantiated your claim "Hey, this thread backs me up!". At least you find my posts entertaining, I guess. So enjoy it! You could have used all this energy to investigate BFL. You know that there is a lot to do. Keep up the good work and keep wasting your time fighting the people who you don't like.
All this energy was 5 minutes. I'm sorry that I don't know (yet?) of a way to put another nail into BFL's coffin in about 5 minutes. If I did, I'd hammer it in slowly just to make it more painful to them. They're scum and they seem so deluded that they don't even seem to realise it. Which leads me to believe they'll be back with a new scam soon.

800+ pages containing a low percentage of useful post and a tonne of useless posts. Sorry, but unless you can go through the thread, post by post, and explain in each case, according to explicit criteria, that such and such post is "useless" to give us a real percentage rather than uselessly gesturing that that is the case, you really are talking a lot of nonsense. My statement is my opinion. I have read every post in that thread as it unfolded. You're asking me to back up my opinion. That would be fair enough if you had provided the same for your opinion that the vast majority (please correct me if I'm paraphrasing you wrong here) of posts in that thread are meaningful. I'll humor you anyway, since it's so easy. Starting from the most recent post, working my way back up the page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11069694#msg11069694 -> androturdusphilia https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11069615#msg11069615 -> androturdusphilia https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11069563#msg11069563 -> androturdusphilia https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11069544#msg11069544 -> androturdusphilia https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11069226#msg11069226 -> androturdusphilia https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11067652#msg11067652 -> Arguing if Bruno is a racist or not https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11067360#msg11067360 -> Arguing if Bruno is a racist or not https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11066861#msg11066861 -> Arguing if Bruno is a racist or not (Bruno actually tries to stop this derailment, instead derailing the thread onto androturdusphilia) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11066289#msg11066289 -> Arguing if Bruno is a racist or not https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11066201#msg11066201 -> Arguing if Bruno is a racist or not https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11066146#msg11066146 -> Arguing if Bruno is a racist or not https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11065967#msg11065967 -> Arguing if Bruno is a racist or not https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg11065783#msg11065783 -> Arguing if Bruno is a racist or not 13 out of 17 posts...

See, I'm not the only one that thinks the thread is cluttered. Quelle suprise! I'm pretty sure the mods are having loads of fun deleting posts in the new thread. Gotta make those bitcoins BFL paid regularly count for something, huh?
Unfounded allegation. Do you see the irony? Now where's the thread on Josh vs. Bruno again?
Very useless comment, but thanks for sharing! It would be a shame if someone reported useless banter sentence by sentence to protect the delicate sensibilities of those who have no reading comprehension. Censorship never had such powerful champions until now... Excuse me for trying to end my post on a lighter note. I don't like being sour. You can have all the sour grapes for yourself if you like them.

The discussion needs to be had
The discussion needs to be had, but that was not a discussion. Reality and 800+ pages prove you're flatout wrong. The thread should've been moved, not locked. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) 800+ pages containing a low percentage of useful post and a tonne of useless posts. Quite a few different topics being argued (since BFL fucked people over in quite a few different ways). That thread is a mess. I would have personally kept it open until BFL has to close up shop, but it was bound to be locked sooner or later. The thread has definitively served a purpose though. And it still is there for reference. Now where's the thread on Josh vs. Bruno again?

Feeling ashamed. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) Am I the only one who didn't see "Quick-moderation" feature till now? A "paper and pencil" small icon above "Report to moderator". It can be used to make a quick edit without going to new page. i'm not sure.. but i think in the new forum software it will be possible... i mean, maybe, the quick edit functionality will be present... or you are asking if this functionality it is an hidden functionality in the actual forum? he is asking whether or not people have noticed the quick-edit function. it's the icon above the "report to moderator". It is shown only on your own posts of course. And it's not anchored to the bottom line of the post, not to the report moderator text. So on short posts it will be hovering somewhere on the right side of your post. This is the icon: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcointalk.org%2FThemes%2Fcustom1%2Fimages%2Ficons%2Fmodify_inline.gif&t=663&c=1Z1kBS_C-z6K6g)

"Your husband is a horrible horrible man and you probably are too" -- S.A. Arran McWhirter, the day he seized a little girl's life savings.
Failed logic. It's worrying that they would make an baseless accusation like that. I would expect better from someone with the power to seize assets. Also if that quote is correct it's a language failure as well, unless S.A. Arran McWhirter honestly believes you're male. So (watch the strawman coming) if we're in fallacy land I'll go ad ridiculum. I'm on the same forum as Jean and Burt - one already determined to be horrible, the other probably horrible - so I am probably horrible too. Hey, I'm on twitter and facebook too. Guess who else is on Twitter and facebook!? The president of the USA! He must be horrible too (do some searching, there are countless sources actually confirming this ;-) ). S.A. Arran McWhirter willingly and knowingly works under them! They must be horrible too! S.A. Arran McWhirter, you are an horrible man and your husband probably is too.

BUMP. Still selling. Fuck the haters. Hi Vod ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Hey, you left me out... That's just plain mean... ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

I am not here for spam activity and posts. Claiming that is ridiculous. Your negative feedback on me is not only false it is also hypocritical. You have a problem with me because you don't agree with me leaving feedback on you while I never let you scam me, yet you think it's alright to do the same to me. Like I said before, if you feel that I am a spammer then report me to a moderator. I'm not going to respond to your ridiculous and baseless accusations that I'm spamming for activity and post anymore. 1. You received money from other sellers to stop me selling the key here (goal is to compete in the business)
This is funny. Just because you basically ratted out some sellers to me (Hey, why you leave me -ve feedback and not x, y and z?!) you assume that all other sellers would stoop to the same low level and pay Vod to leave feedback on their competition? Your own (lack of) morality is showing yet again.

I refute your claim that I am spamming for activity. If you feel my posts are spam then you can report them. In addition I do not have any special power in this forum to use and I do not want to stop all transactions. All I am trying to do is make it clear that these keys are not legit. Really? You decide to negative trust spam all users selling anything you think is bad. I have been selling keys since January and have no unresolved complaints. I have been selling products on this forum for a long time and never had a problem (longer than your account existed). I can assure you the negative trust I left you is because you have no reason to leave me negative trust for something so ridiculous. I never dealt with you and I advertise my products exactly how they are. GO through the digital goods section and I bet you 80% of the stuff would not meet your approval does not mean they are not allowed on this forum.Why did you copy ajw7989's post? I guess I stepped on someone's toes enough to warrant some old-fashioned trust spamming! Someone actually went through the effort to create several accounts only to give some negative feedback to me.
I'm flattered, impressed and disappointed at the same time.

I am sorry if I misread that. However, it is still how trust works. You and Vod have a spat for ages, so it's only logical that Vod doesn't trust him. I reckon you wouldn't do business with Vod either, though you choose not to publish your distrust in Vod's feedback. Why do not you look at your post. Your goal is to raise spam Activity and Posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=331100;sa=showPosts
PS: 26 Pages spam Activity and Posts
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my opinion, he did use a lot of their powers to impose on all the members of this forum.
If you want to stop all transactions here it is best not to have this forum and should not exist Bitcoin.
Or Do not put the list Marketplace here, Please remove it from forumI refute your claim that I am spamming for activity. If you feel my posts are spam then you can report them.

This thread was made before you left me any feedback. It is about the trust spam (new accounts created solely to put some negative feedback on me). I found that noteworthy. I am not asking anyone to remove them. While I disagree with the feedback you left on me it is not trust spam. I disagree with the logic in you feedback. First of all, I'm not leaving negative feedback for all sellers selling anything I think is bad. I left feedback on sellers of Starbucks gift cards because there is credit card fraud involved. I left feedback on sellers of Microsoft product keys because there is fraud involved as well. That you have no unresolved customer complaints is all fine and dandy, but that doesn't make what you're doing legit. If there is something factually wrong about the feedback I gave you then please let me know and I will amend it.

As has been said before, the Microsoft product keys for sale here are created from an MSDN subscription. While the keys may work (for some time) they are not legit and they're not a licence to actually use the software. Using the software without a licence is piracy.
If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
Really spam my thread and leave me negative feedback? If it was not allowed on these forums I would not be selling them. A staff member can PM me and I will gladly lock the thread. As for you all you do is leave negative feedback for everyone. I have no unresolved customer complaints from ANYTHING I sold. I am not false advertising anything since I say they are from MSDN accounts. If the keys were going bad like you say dont you think I would have complaints since I have been selling since December? Is there anything factually wrong about the feedback I gave you? If so, I will correct it. I sincerely believe my post is not spam, but if you think it is then feel free to use the report post function to flag it for a moderators attention.

The keys being sold are fully legit and will not expire. Don't let others spread misinformation! Online and open for sales! flyingpigs.btc@gmail.comCommon sense: "Here, take this $100+ product for only $5" is not legit. It works in this scenario too. You are not allowed to sell the keys you generate from your MSDN subscriptions.

It is well known that these Starbucks gift cards stem from credit card fraud. By buying them you support criminals. You may even be liable yourself as a buyer.
Buyer beware.

... I asked you for statutory law backing up your claims of "enabling piracy" and breaking a TOS contract, but you seem to be unable to produce them. ...
I will not produce them for you. It's obvious that in most countries you *will* be convicted. I am not a lawyer and I am not going to spend time doing a lawyers job to explain you the exact legality of everything unless you pay me a good lawyers fee to do so. Yet you sit there talking about courts in this hyperbolic manner as if Microsoft really cares. If they did they wouldn't be available. Simple as that.
It is a cost-benefit consideration. Right now it costs Microsoft more to chase these people than it would gain them. That doesn't make it legal. It is simple indeed. A scammer is someone who steals from someone they are purportedly engaging in trade with.
Your definition of scammer is naive and narrow. Scam: A dishonest scheme; a fraud See: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/scam?q=Scammer#scam__13... there would be VICTIMS making COMPLAINTS, which are glaringly absent in this situation. ...
There are VICTIMS. There are even victims making COMPLAINTS, though that's not relevant. Denying this shows your closing your eyes to facts. snipped the whole background on the Vod-TECSHARE episode
And the end result is that you don't trust Vod, isn't it? Fair enough. This is not the thread to elaborate on that more.

Those who have "mind" knows they are from sockpuppets.
BTW, can you tell us who is this "someone"? I think it is most probably a MSDN key seller.
I cannot conclusively say who is behind it. Quite likely it's one of the Microsoft key sellers, but it doesn't really matter. It's all newbie accounts and under the untrusted feedback anyway. I'm just surprised that they would actually go through this length to achieve.... what? Nothing if you ask me.
