Threads like this are one of the reasons so many regular people turned away from Bitcoin. No single person has done more damage to Bitcoin than that fucktard Atlas.
O RLY? Where the empirical evidence, yo? God, I was gonna link to his post history as a joke, but so many accounts where would I start. |

That doesn't make it a scam...

Pirate and BS&T.
I think we'd have to lock the forum down if that actually happened...

Reading all these shiny fairy tales from ZT's paid crooks makes me sick.
Forum operators knowingly accepted potentially stolen funds from a potential scammer.
If evidence is established, that's called money laundering where I live. (So much about "leaving the forum liable".)
mlawrence did absolutely nothing questionable here.
The actions of the moderators (showing ads from potential scammers, defending potential scammers, hiding relevant information, obstructing community action) speak for themselves.
That's a lot of potentials and ifs for a guy you are so adamant is guilty. |

Ok so Micon said that BTCS&T is in its final week or two. And looking at the prices of PPT bonds of GLBSE it's clear that a lot of people are withdrawing.
So if in two weeks Pirate hasn't default, is still operating or has returned all the coins, will you stop with this ponzi talk or what?
Uh, if he returns *all* the coins, it's not a Ponzi by definition, so yes. I would cover 2-to-1 he runs within 8 weeks though. (More than Pirate rates!) Yes, I should have said, if it continues operation, will this witch hunt stop? Of course not, don't be silly. |

In general, no. We have subforums to reduce the clutter, crossposting just makes it pointless.

That thread was created right around the time the rally from $5 started. They must've bought in  . |

 Got back from Iowa earlier, and stopped in off-topic first. Something caught my eye, and went into another Google Fu mode. Then came here and noticed there's seven pages following my last post, whereupon I had to go make a fresh pot of coffee. I stopped to reply to this one, and still 6+ pages out. I will add what may be needed once I finish reading. I may even post prior and it may come up as back-to-back posts. If so, please forgive me. ~Bruno~ It's posts like these that I personally don't like. It adds nothing but noise and is annoying to see them over and over. |

@OP: Until Zhou is proven guilty of something, I don't know why you would have a problem with him advertising on the forums. Do you have a problem with Pirate advertising on the forums?
Has he even been charged with something yet? Anyway from good judgment, in comparison how quickly the scammer label is applied to persons he should get one. You can argue that the label is commonly used prematurely and that in this case special care is needed but the latter is not the case. Again, it's hypocrisy. Scammer tag is usually quickly applied because there is clear evidence that the party is guilty. Not very clear here, too many conflicting facts and too much speculation. |

Ok interested in a 51% attack on LTC people are talking about... can anyone expand or link me to a useful topic explaining what this is and why I should be aware of such threats.
Many thanks
This thread would be a good start. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52388.0 |

I forget checking the "Save a copy in my outbox" option a lot when sending PMs, but I want to save all outgoing PMs to keep track of a lot of things. Is there a way to keep it enabled by default? If not, could this please be implemented? Thank you very much in advance  It's in your profile settings. Under personal message options. |

Except now I have to make empty messages of content to get those 5 posts created so i can really post where i want hah...
yeah... The restrictions are in place partly because of spammers, if you spam to get your post count up...it probably won't end well. |

Why would you pay for porn? It isn't gonna be better just cause you paid for it. It might seem like it since you will try to convince yourself it is, but it isn't. If you're gonna pay for it just go down the corner and pay a couple girls to diddle each other.

(Currently I see the same thing happening with the Bitcoinica scam - given the evidence I cannot understand why these guys (esp. Zhoutong) are not scammer tagged (instead theymos chose to accept 80 BTC from Zhoutong to advertise his next "project"  - filling all available ad slots of the forum. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94475.20)) Ever hear of reasonable doubt? Innocent until proven guilty? There is no solid proof it was him, and marking him as a scammer if he's innocent would open up the forum to serious legal problems (and rightly so). |

You can talk about it, just don't link there.
Can I link to the Wikipedia page about it? No rule against that as far as I know, but I wouldn't, since the wiki links can be changed by pretty much anybody. |

Unintentional humor is always the best. I don't see a reason for the 'moved' threads.
The URL for the thread doesn't change, so if someone enters the URL for a thread after it is moved, it still goes to the right thread, just in the different section. There is no categories or anything in the URL path.
At the very least it helps to show people where such threads should be posted. |

Nice, trading discussion can actually be about trading discussion again.
Maybe scam accusations should be named something differently. If I had a dispute with someone that I wanted resolved, I wouldn't want to post in a forum called Scam Accusation when I'm not necessarily calling them a scammer.
