I thought that was already being done?
Banned iPs get a sprinkling of evil points don’t they? And why not charge people59 have their account unbanned. A 0.01 penalty for copy-pasting will do the forum quite well...
You have evilness only for banned accounts. But quite often people (sry, bots) don't get banned at all, only the spam posts get deleted. I was thinking for some sort of penalty for wasting the Mods attention with 100 deleted posts for example. I'll ask Vod to make a list with the users with the most deleted posts. It won't be 100% accurate but it will give us the current situation. |

I guess you are talking about this post, the old one was removed (moved to the proper section). Everything that is worth reporting we should do report. I'll try to go through the list tomorrow evening and see what can be reported. |

I know it's not that case here, but what will happen if someone is mentions using homographs? I will test it here. @ Pigg y@L oyceV The letters in red are in Cyrillic  |

I think something should be done for all those wasted reports, people just got their spam posts deleted and at the end there are no actions taken to make this stop.
People are already giving up on reporting because the only positive impact is to increase their personal report scores, the spammers just keep spamming.
Bots can just create a new account and there you go again, fighting the machine is worthless.
Ok, no need to pay fees, but at least to be listed the Evilness of the IP their posting from.

I don't think it really matters how young an account is, but what is the content of the posts, this is what is taken in consideration here. I guess the merit plays a big role too same as the trust. BTW, Congrats to the new members  |

I am a member of freebitco.in. But I use yahoo email. Recently I can't log in. What can I do?
Contact the support. TheQuin is your man, you can probably PM him with the link to this thread. Or just post your problem here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540 |

I'm not sure your post makes sense. There's a bit of ambiguity to me: 1. Is a bad report one where you report someone and it gets flagged as bad OR 2. Where you get reported and have your psots deleted. The second is already in place with the autoban function (as far as I'm aware) if people make a few posts and are a new user and they get deleted within a certain time limit, they get autobanned. It's nice to look at on the seclog (although I'm not entirely sure if that is what it is or not - could just be hilariousandco clicking his smite button on a load of newb profiles and changing the type of ban to a fancier one  )... The first is probably a bad idea as theymos seems to want to encourage people to report a lot (as it says on the report to moderator page that it's alright to not have a high percentage). Sorry for the misleading post, yesterday evening when I posted it seemed logical (i've been driving quite a lot and I was tired as hell) , but after reading it today, it was really misleading so I've edited it to be more clear. The whole idea if you report someone's posts and those get deleted nothing else happens to him and he can have 1000000 deleted posts but still spamming. If we put Evilness to the IP based on deleted posts by mods I think big part of those bots, which posts get deleted often can be reduced a lot. Regarding the autoban function I had a discussion with a mod sometime ago: It's not autoban...
OK, this is what I see in the modlog: Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #782523
...
...
Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #2067403
What it is then? It just means banned. The log only ever shows as nuked or Autoban, I guess its' a limitation in SMF. Thanks TheQuin, The message came at the moment I reported them so that's why I thought that they were autobanned. Thanks both of you for the help, and sorry LoyceV for the off-topic. ~
Hahahahahahaha... I think what he is trying to say is that, there should be a system where people who get their posts deleted by mod on the forum will be charged a fine and this fine increases with the number of posts that will be deleted.
Thank you for decrypting what I meant. I adjusted this to be what I believe Iasenko was going for. I'm not sure if they meant only as a result of being reported or just total deleted posts in general.
You got the idea, yeah. I changed the OP too. Just for example I have had quite a few posts deleted, for whatever reason, some of them as a result of providing coaching for a reported post. I do that from time to time hoping they will see it read it and learn, full well knowing my post will also be deleted once things are handled. I also have some posts deleted, but I'm not sure if those posts were actually reported because I often post guidelines in threads which get deleted. That's why I proposed to be Activity/merit dependent, in your case, the deleted posts will not be taken in consideration, based on your received merit. |

Another idea here.
Can we add a system same as the Evil IP but for the bad reports (when someone reported you and your posts get deleted by the mods)?
Example: you have 100 of your posts reported (by someone) and deleted by moderator, you have to pay a fee to be able to post and the fee increase if more posts are deleted.
It can be activity(or merit) dependent so people who have been here for years and have some/many posts deleted won't be affected that much.
This will add some weight to the reports, because now they are just nothing, wasting of time to both Mods and those reporting.
I prefer actually those with many bad reports deleted posts by the mods to get banned instead, but I know this will never happen.
So this is the alternative solution.
What you guys think??
Edit: when I'm tired my English gets even worse, sorry about the misleading "bad reports" the real meaning was a deleted posts by mods.

... I don't want to move from the subject of the OP so you are welcome to the CLUB If you want to post your investigation. Thanks for the invitation, I'd like to join the club, but I can only dedicate a few hours, mainly on the weekends to nuke these spammers from the forum... hope this is not a problem. I'll copy here my reporter stats as a kind of application, so you can decide if you want to count me in your team or not (because my accuracy is not 100%): You have reported 725 posts with 99% accuracy (703 good, 10 bad, 12 unhandled). Do not worry about your accuracy too much; one accurate report is worth many inaccurate reports. I'll check back a bit later if I'm accepted. No worries, everyone are busy these days. You can report when it suits you. I put up a club approval procedure only to avoid adding spammers, so big part of the people who joined were people I know from before. |

Maybe OP needs to put one more column with "Last Active:"
Most of the top haven't been online for quite some time and probably will not come back, like Satoshi and Hal.

This thread would help newbies and also older members. Topic title style guide Too often users abuse the tools available when starting threads, and this reduces the quality of the write-up. Good one, I'll add it to the General Forum Q/A or maybe to the link section; Thanks, if you think other info should be added let me know.
Updated, I've added it to the Forum rules and guidelines subsection. |

Since you have no post history anymore I cannot help you with that.
Only Mods can give you such info. But if you are nuked, I'm pretty sure you are not getting your old account back. I know of only one case lately of one user being unbanned because of misquoting, but those are really rare occasions.

I don't want to turn this thread in the political direction but I find the ClintonCASH ANN a but funny. C'mon everyone want to see Killary behind bars but to make a coin to fund it.. well  ~ Since she first entered politics in the 1970s, Crooked Hillary has used corruption and scandals to unfairly get ahead– placing America in harm’s way. Although the government may have lost interest in investigating Crooked Hillary for her misdeeds, millions of Americans haven’t. ClintonCASH is a community-based cryptocurrency built upon Bitcoin and DASH. This privacy-focused cryptocurrency features a "Prison Fund" into which 10% of all mined currency is placed. This fund will be used to finance independent investigations and efforts to bring Crooked Hillary to justice-- all proposed and voted on by the community. Beyond this, our long-term mission is to build a scalable digital currency for the masses. While many anonymous cryptocurrencies exist, ClintonCASH is the first digital currency of the "Hillary for Prison" movement-- one of the largest political movements in US history. It's unique cause gives it a wider audience and a much stronger potential for adoption and growth than any other cryptocurrency. ~ ClintonCASH is a crypto-currency built upon the features of Bitcoin and Dash to serve as a medium of exchange free of government interference. Beyond this, ClintonCASH is a community-driven endeavor to use the power of the blockchain to spur a new investigation of Hillary Clinton’s crimes and put her in prison, where she belongs. ClintonCASH will bring an end to corrupt political elitism. ClintonCASH improves upon other cryptocurrencies with these unique features: • A community-run fund into which 10% of all mined coins after the 3,000th block will be placed. • This fund will support investigations into Hillary Clinton and other causes proposed and voted on by the community.
• An incentive structure through which master node operators are compensated with 45% of block rewards for running the ClintonCash network • Use of the ASIC-resistant Lyra2RE Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm to keep mining open to everyone
• Private Sending for anonymous payments
• Nearly instantaneous transactions • 2MB block size ClintonCASH is the first digital cash to fight political cash. If the Justice Department won't investigate Hillary, the ClintonCASH community will. ClintonCASH is a cryptocurrency with a real purpose that people can believe in. ~ |

You have been nuked. I guess you have crossed the line quite a lot to get yourself nuked. Probably plagiarims ( copy-pasting someone else's work and posting it as yours) https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=cBenton92As the rule states,and we the community have reiterated numerous times,a banned account is not only a ban to the very account,but it stretches also to the owner of the account
Thus when you a user/member gets banned,its permanent and you're only allowed to stay on read mode, and an attempt at creating another account to keep posting or sending pm's will be tagged as ban evasion,and if caught will be banned likewise(Forever/permanently)
There are also temporary bans but you get notification for the period you will be restricted from using your account. |

In the meantime I made you a moderator.
Sweet. No worries, I won't abuse my position. Spammers are everywhere, so it's completely normal to have issues. On my personal blog, I've disabled the comments because of the constant spam sh!t from all those bots out there. . I'll add captcha and solve the problem when I have more free time ( and will ). Back on the case, I'll check it out now, but I guess if I'm moderator then the things will be fine. I'll come back with more input. |

Why I can't open a new thread in any section of FTT ?
It was so that you would bump this thread. Really sorry about the problem. I changed the permissions so that newbies couldn't post, and I upranked everybody who had made at least one post. Unfortunately, I seem to have messed up the permissions for a couple of ranks. You should be OK now. The idea was to restrict posting to people who had made at least one post, and that put newbies on hold. I add them to the member group 'verified' when I have established that they really are Bitcoin Talk members. I made you a verified member, and I sorted the permissions for post count rankings, so you should be good to go on either count. I think you have to double check your permissions. Same thing as the last time, I was thinking of opening a new in the General Discussion but I ended up there :  |

Why I can't open a new thread in any section of FTT ? Have only Notify and MarkAsRead as options. Just wanted to check it someone has seen the new Bob Lazar documentary but I can't open a thread? Do I need to rank up there too? Is there a whitelist or something? |
