An address on a profile may be there regardless of when it was updated. This is why I did not bring up the archive.

That's great.

I was wondering where you shipped in your substance from. It must be some faraway land because it has yet to arrive. The implication that I'm Vod is untrue and unfounded.

Not only that, it doesn't make sense. Why would Vod disagree with Vod on the Anduck negative rating?

I would love to say that I, Vodactmyname am the developer and proprietor of BPIP.

That would be lying.

His ratings just got wiped.

Correlation is not causation. Sure, attention was brought to the account once you became active again (in topics that overlapped with the "cult" interests).

But the thing is, this thread was here before the DT change. The only difference is that now you've responded to it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What would you need the reputation for?

Like you said, it wouldn't [effect] you.

A negative rating stands out to those that would do trades with you. Given the possibility of a compromised account, it's better to guard against anything in the event that a new owner does scam.

If there were some addresses that weren't lost by the drive, then you should be able to sign them, right?

What happened to the coins is irrelevant. As long as we have a tx history and a signed message we know the circulation of BTC.

You should still be able to sign the addresses, aye? Even if there was a hard drive crash in 2016 I assume you stored more coins elsewhere (or had backups) considering the totals.

You are right. The forum is run by Satanists so clearly, this thread exposing them will be removed.

Also, don't forget to tune into our live goat sacrifice stream. Every day, 8 PM PST.

I've already addressed earlier that I'm referring to the users that aren't signature spammers. As in, users looking to fuel discussion or users who read the section.

If, however, there are no proper users that frequent the section... it should really have more thread-closings. Don't rid of the section entirely, but punish shitty posts like we did the megathreads.

I'm asking those that aren't sig spammers. We already know the reason that the individuals of which I've highlighted post in these sections. Low-effort title-reading one-minute post nonsense.

Typically, accounts are given some warning before a tag, aye?

At least from what I have seen.

Re-adding a "newbie jail" for Lending has been discussed before and examples akin to what DS_ has shown have also been exhibited.

The genuine members that are seeking loans will either read the stickies or read the threads in which they'll understand how not to request a loan.

^{(Bitcoin Discussion, Economics, Speculation, Gambling discussion, the like)}


Why?

Certainly, if you've gone through any of the threads, you have seen a reply reiterated or quoted to which the respondent agrees and adds a common-sense reply.

Surely, by scanning through the topics, there have been posts that were regurgitated or responded-to with an agreement via quote.

It is highly probable that when a user reads the board, they have witnessed a point of discussion that has been repeated or referred to by another user in a consensus.


Is there really anything useful in these boards anymore?^* There are so many topics opened that are looking for generic replies.


Example: When Will the Bear Market End?

No shit, Sherlock.

Here's a reply:


Another one:


And here's one that replies to the reply:


I couldn't have asked for a better set of examples.

Few more posts that are definitely the highest degree of discussion.

I mean honestly: are there any good posts to be found? Maybe the first one or two replies are useful. The other 233 are not.

Once you educate yourself on the systems of the forum, clarity will come forth to your mind.

Lines are limited to 3998, characters to 4998 (iirc)

I spaded this a while back out of curiosity.

Way too high, obviously.

Aargh! I'll bite!

69.

Then I'm not sure where we went wrong.

Let's avoid the tirade of drama and talk about improving DefaultTrust as a system. The individuals can come later (or in separate discussions). Agreed?

There was a post by someone when explaining negative trust. Paraphrasing here, but I believe this is critical: "Is the negative feedback worth ruining the user's reputation?"

This should be mainly for preventing the degradation of the forum. Scams, egregious abuse of forum systems, etc.

I don't usually send out negative feedback based on dissenting opinions. (if there is feedback that I sent of which you disagree with, please let me know.)
There are some cases in which consistent blatant lying that is not outright scamming (i.e. does not involve any monetary transaction) might deserve a strongly-worded neutral or at worst, a negative.^*

the bitcoin price cannot be tracked properly but bitcoin does not dead because bubble!!! buy low sell high except now bear season so wait until the price is going good again

- probably some post in Speculation

Cheers. This is a different thread (might have some relation) and roughly going through it I don't see any problem with setting a foundation for negative feedback. In fact, IIRC, there is a thread about ongoing discussion relating to that very issue.

From what I see, this local issue starts from this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095156.msg49511282#msg49511282

Am I correct? If not, where should I start reading on this thread?
