I'm wondering if this contest closes at a certain hour today? I'm working on a submission but I don't think I'll have it ready for a while.

Hillarious, now I just need to work hard to join the staff...  Actually, now that I've got this ad removed, I feel a newfound freedom to post whateverthefuckiwantto. I was honestly getting quite tired of everyone who disagreed with what I said deflecting into "you're just posting that because you want to get paid for your posts". I'm not going to go off a deep and shit a bunch of spam everywhere or anything, but I'm feeling this cool breeze of freedom across my shoulder and I guess it's really time for me to go to bed now. |

Let's make it more explicit for Zimmah:
The argument is that signature-ads and shit posts are positively correlated. A positive correlation isn't falsified by a single counterexample.

Delaying payment 24 hours as quite a few people have yet to fill out the form which was a big issue last time. Please get it filled out by this time tomorrow if you haven't already.
26 hours have passed since this message. Hooray! Payments take up to 48 hours. I guess it is 24 hours plus the normal 48 hours deadline That doesn't mean I can't hooray. |

And here I thought this was a thread about signatures, must've taken a wrong turn somewhere  . The problem is *shit posts* (the sigs being sponsored is what has led to it). Do you not see the *connection* between these two things? Of course I do, but EvilPanda is trying to deflect from the issue this thread is about by saying people spam anyway, which is a valid concern but it isn't what the thread is about. Read what he said. I'm not talking about signature spam here. Most of the spam I see here is made by newbies and Jr. members and they don't care about restrictions and don't put effort into creating new profiles.

And here I thought this was a thread about signatures, must've taken a wrong turn somewhere . You missed the point again (focusing on the signatures with people spamming without them)  It's ok if you don't want to talk about it. I'm not missing the point, I'm ignoring it because it's off topic. This thread is about signatures and the resulting spam, if you want to talk about general spam sans signatures then make another thread and stop trying to derail this one. If you're trying to make a point that signatures don't cause extra spam, then make it, and we'll agree to disagree. BadBear, EvilPanda's argument *is* germane to the topic. The OP suggests that sig-ads have caused a terrible increase in spam. As fas as I can tell, EvilPanda is arguing that sig-ad spam is negiligible compared to overall spam. You might disagree with him but it's hardly off-topic. To my mind it's a quite valid rebuttal (which might obviously be disagreed with). If I say high speed-limits are a major cause of death for citizens of country X, and you reply that the deaths on the road in that country are actually randomly distributed with respect to speeds---that the real problem is quality control on tire production. I might say 'hey, you're derailing my thread about about speed-limits' but in fact you're simply disagreeing with my premise---not off topic in any way. |

I had no clue that was an issue, I'll have the form completed in 1 hour, sorry for any issues it caused in the past. I wouldnt say it was an issue but more of a nuisance. But ya, people should know enough that payments are to be requested as advertised, in the case of the campaign if it were to continue, the 17th of every month. I thought it was until the end of the 17th West Coast/PST. I've always been going buy that every month so now I just feel like a jerk. I actually completed the collect payment form early last month but I usually try and get in some extra post in the last minute, I guess now I know..  Collect Payment form now completed I had figured it was until the end of the 17th anywhere in the world, which is a few more hours after Pacific. Anyway, I filled mine out several hours ago. And I decided just to leave the ad until I receive payment. Not really a big deal. |

Hi there,
Once we've submitted the form, do we need to leave the advert up until the payment comes through? Or can we go ahead and remove it?

Make BTC from gambling sig ads, immediately lose BTC from gambling. Yeah, that's a great contribution to bitcoindom!
Not all sig ads are about gambling. I think you're deflecting rather than addressing my point. |

I think that by defining religion as any belief system that requires "faith" you've just pushed the question down a level. Now we have to know what you mean by "faith". My definition of religion for this kind of survey would have to include some sort of ritual practice. But again, I think it's really hard to draw a line here. I mean, ritually say "fine thank you" when someone says to me "hello how are you". Yet, I wouldn't consider this practice to be religious.
Like you, I'm no expert in theology or anthropology. However, I tend to think that most people underestimate the range of human variation in culture and practice and experience. Perhaps relevant to this discussion, I have read a lot about how aboriginal cultures of the pacific northwest may not have had a distiction between the "natural" and "supernatural" as we have. See, for example, Wayne Suttles "Coast Salish Essays".

I think I'm going to get ripped a new one for expressing this opinion but I actually think that the sig-ads have served a purpose---although I agree with you that there's be a lot of abuse as well. Here are the purposes which I think sig ads have served:
1) Promotion of the bitcoin economy
--- many new sites from related to bitcoin services have been advertized on here in the past year and a half and many of these services are reputable and doing good. bitmixer.io might be a good example of this. with less ads, people know less about hot new bitcoin businesses that they might want to check out.
2) Getting some bitcoins into the hands of semi-newbies
--- even as late as 2.5 years ago you could get an mBTC or two from the main bitcoin faucet. However, nowadays the faucets give out just dust. You'd have to hit them hundreds of times to get a spendable amount into your wallet. I know I wanted to get a small amount of btc into my wallet so that I could check out the software, the protocol, everything I was learning about in a hands-on way. I think that nowadays, a sig-ad is a good way for someone to get a little btc so that they can see how things work.

I think the issues have mainly already been covered here. The fact that there's be a storied history of people claiming to be women who were just trying to pull some kind of psychological stunt.
I've never been to one of the in-person bitcoin meetups but I suppose that be an interesting place to try to get an idea of how many women are interested in bitcoins.

Faith and spiritualism are innately human, it has been with us for as long as we have had the ability to ponder existence. There has never been a human civilization in recorded history without some sort of "religion". Atheism and Darwinism one could argue, are also faiths.
That "faith and spirtualism are innately human" is an interesting hypothesis. The evidence you present that "there has never been a human civilization in recorded history without some sort of 'religion'" is interesting, and seems to bear on the question, but IMO, you need to go a lot farther to show innateness. Consider, for example, that you might find that every human civilization in recorded history has the word "fish" somewhere in their records. This doesn't mean that humans are innately programmed to write "fish" when they write. It's just as likely that writing "fish" is a product of our environments as of our biology. Also, consider that there are vast numbers of humans who have lived outside of "recorded history". It may be that "religion and spiritualism" are as much an aspect of the organization of cultures who write things as an aspect of the biology of the humans who wrote them. Finally, you might not be right about your claim that "every human civilization in recorded history has some sort of 'religion'". Seems like that claim depends a lot on your definition of religion. |

Wow, are those guys federal police? They've all got assault rifles out like they're going to war or something?! God that's fucking scary. I'm glad I don't live in Virginia where apparantly the military is called in for marijuana suspicions!

It seems like he wants 1$ to "invest" in one of the btc ponzi scams. If he gets lucky he'll give you back your dollar. If not, you lose (he doesn't lose anything). OP, this isn't how the world works. If you want to put your dollar on a long shot gamble, I seriously doubt anyone is going to give you that dollar. You'll need to provide your own dollar. By the way, if you like gambling, make an account on PrimeDice and use the faucet to get 500 satoshis. If you're lucky, you can turn that into one dollar and then you'll be ready to try your luck again |
