You have time restrictions on posting as a new member. They decrease with the more activity you get. Just make sure you wait six minutes before trying to post or after logging in.
4782  Other / Meta / Re: What is the trick in this on: July 27, 2017, 01:37:42 PM
Did you buy the account? If not your account may have been hacked or someone tried to claim the bounty with your account name for some reason.
4783  Other / Meta / Re: Delete my account on: July 27, 2017, 12:24:14 PM
It's not possible. Just log out of your account and abandon it. Why do you want it deleted any way?

In something anywhere and anytime (navigation link, very sticky or other) that explains the moderation guidelines and spammers?

There are signature guidelines here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1684035.0

And forum rules here:

Yeah,  it's called the trashcan. They should be in their own board but some sort of restrictions or punishments need to be made on them because they shouldn't be allowed to operate here as they are. Not sure why alt coin giveaways aren't allowed but we allow signature campaigns with most accepting hundreds or even an unlimited amount of users with absolutely no quality checks at any stage of the campaign which is far more damaging to the forum as the spam is spread everywhere. I think we should consider not even allowing them if they don't pay in bitcoin because that will stop the vast majority of these lazy, cheap get rich quick scams. 

The signature guidelines thread should also be changed into strict rules and any campaign not following them or running a poorly managed campaign should have their entire threads trashed and their accounts banned. Maybe then people will start looking after their campaigns but if we continue to let them get away with doing absolutely nothing then they will.

No,  not permanent. The ban will likely be extended if you're caught evading.

China actually restricts access to a lot of sites including Facebook apparently:

Theymos is based in the US and pays US taxes. Not sure where the forum is actually hosted but that will be irrelevant and the forum will certainly be governed by US law. With that being said, as far as I'm aware there don't seem to have been any issues with the ponzis posted here but I wouldn't be surprised if the forum does catch the eye or wrath of some US authority eventually.
4789  Other / Meta / Re: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) on: July 26, 2017, 05:09:04 PM
Ive been online for almost an hour, my post is 50+ but my activity still at 28. Why is that?

Because you need to learn and understand how activity works. As has been explained hundreds of times you can only get 14 activity every two week period so you're activity wont update any more till then (which is this Tuesday I believe).
4790  Other / Meta / Re: How to make logo for the coins? on: July 26, 2017, 04:53:30 PM
What are you talking about?  An image logo or signatures or something? If it's an image logo then you'll just have to use Photoshop or something similar. People can create bbcode signatures for you in the services section.
4791  Other / Meta / Re: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) on: July 26, 2017, 04:49:51 PM
Can I ask question? Do I need to stay online for 1 hpur to make my activity counts updated?

No. As long as you make a post in the activity period it will update within the hour.

He's probably just spreading FUD. It is much more likely to be the btc e guy but I've not seen anything concrete so I would disregard it as mere speculation based on rumour right now.
4793  Other / Meta / Re: Does the incentive to post rule(in the Altcoin Section) apply to other sections? on: July 26, 2017, 03:38:29 PM
Well I think it was just because it fell under the alt coin giveaway rule, but personally I don't think it should be permitted to make people post in a specific thread because it's a violation of the one bump per 24 hours rule. It's also essentially forcing many users to make a post they probably have absolutely no interest in making thus increasing the chances of a hollow shitpost.
4794  Other / Meta / Re: [WTF] MY ACCOUNT GOT BANNED AFTER JOINING WAVES CAMPAIGN on: July 26, 2017, 02:45:29 PM
lol haha im not charice anymore, im now jakezyrus.  it says my account has baned 3days and banned my signature for 30 days. i dont know if it is the bots fault or mods.   this is the bot im talking about , it is from waves campaign : https://beincampaign.com/Waves/
ive been checking and checking my post count there and one time i check again my curent post count i recieve a message that "you must install signature on your profile and post your details in the main page to apply"  i thought the bot has a bug again, then i check my profile and boom. isaw a message "sorry your are baned from joining a pay to spam campaign" damn[/b]

Then it's to do with this:

That is very much not allowed. The threads are trashed, the poster is banned for 60 days, everyone who participated is banned for 3 days, and everyone who participated cannot display a signature for 30 days.

Please don't post outside of Meta during your ban.

For someone who gets paid to post and earnings are sent through the gambling site (Bitsler) like me, I use a mixer because my local exchange site does not allow BTCs coming from gambling sites (they will suspend my account or close my account) and known HYIPs that's why I am dumbfounded by Bitmixers decision and might look for other alternatives that offers same service with same level of trust earned by Bitmixer.

There are always legitimate uses of such services, but of course nefarious people will also (ab)use them. I don't think there was anything inherently wrong or illegal with bitmixer or other such tumbling services, but of course that wont stop the USG coming after them.

Anyway, so what happens with the signature campaign now? is it still running?

No, of course not. Why would it? Lauda already announced it was closed.


Where does it say anything about Bitmixer?
4796  Other / Meta / Re: [WTF] MY ACCOUNT GOT BANNED AFTER JOINING WAVES CAMPAIGN on: July 26, 2017, 01:56:40 PM
I wonder if they were 5-6 lines of copy and pastes? Nobody can help or you or tell you what your account was banned for unless you tell us the name of it.
4797  Other / Meta / Re: Should ICOs without blockchains be removed from Alternate Cryptocurrencies forum on: July 26, 2017, 12:27:11 PM
In fact it does generated a big trafic in term of pageviews, and that make forum ads more and more valuable, with price increasing substantially at each round.

These icos could disappear tomorrow and the ads on this forum would not diminish at all. In fact, if that happened they'd probably bring in much more money than they already do because many of these icos would then bid on slots as they would have no other option to advertise themselves here.

So you are requesting an entity totally unpowerful outside the U.S. to mess in the crypto-sphere just because people are raising money ? Investors are not dumb as some may think here. If they invest it means that they want to do it, and I do not find it too fair to go against the will of the people while Bitcoin was created to promote total liberty, for whatever it is.

I'm not requesting it I just hope these get rich quick scammers get what they deserve. Most of these icos have little to nothing to do with crypto or at the most are largely worthless or negative to it. Most are just straight up scams which are nothing but get rich quick schemes to make the operators millionaires. And I would seriously  question the intelligence of a lot of the people that invest in some of this crap because I doubt most of them will deliver on their promises.

And this is a private forum so you don't have total liberty. Look at how much liberty users already get and they abuse it on masse. There have been people caught with 200 alt accounts spamming the same reworded crap one after the other and they got paid to do it by these ico idiots  who don't care as long as their advert is getting spammed all over the forum. Dozens of campaigns pop up every month and do exactly the same so that's why you need some rules to play by sometimes and not just let the scammers and greedy capitalists run rife and unregulated.
4798  Other / Meta / Re: Skincoin bounty thread removed and ANN thread locked on: July 26, 2017, 12:07:42 PM
It was locked for breaking the rules of alt coin giveaways. See here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2046480.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2045928.0

I sincerely hope all crapcoin sig campaigns meet the same fate.
4799  Economy / Reputation / Re: Looking for a trusted escrow service~1.5 BTC transaction~Recommendations? on: July 26, 2017, 08:43:18 AM
PS : I'm wondering what account could be sold for 1.5 to 2 btc  Shocked Not sure if OGNasty escrows those kind of trades.
There is absolutely no way that an account is worth >= 1.5 BTC. The only possibility that I see is a combination of the following:
1) DT2 account.
2) Donator/VIP.

Well someone certainly might pay that for a Staff account. Satoshis account would probably be pretty valuable if you could get it unlocked as well which almost certainly isn't going to happen unless someone gets a hold of satoshis private keys. I doubt any Scammer would pay more than a few hundred for even a highly ranked account with a couple of feedback though because you're more than likely to get busted on it before you even have the chance to scam.

PS : I'm wondering what account could be sold for 1.5 to 2 btc  Shocked Not sure if OGNasty escrows those kind of trades.
Then again, the OP might not be talking about a Bitcointalk account to begin with.

What kind of account are we talking about?
The OP is talking about his LocalBitcoins account and Paxful account, which he is selling in this thread.

Initially I'd thought it could be a scam due to the bids from newbies and via PM, and the mention of specific amounts of profit.  While I still think that these things are shady, it's great that the OP is accepting escrow.

Still, selling accounts that you use for trading is just a recipe for scams.  It's very annoying that these markets exist.

Of course the account is going to be used to scam others.  They like to set up fake identities make some fake trades and then scam the innocent ones.  Whose ever identity is on that LBC I feel bad for..........someone either the real scammer or the person the identity belongs to gonna get killed one day.

Sadly, it might have to come to that. In order for LBC and these other places to really check out their applicants.

Not necessarily. Some people just like to get their foot in the door so to speak, but it certainly does increase the chances it could be used for abuse as well.

Sir "John (John K.)" thanks for your post regarding the upgraded rank in bitcointalk. Me ask a question sir, when we rank a junior member sir because my post is almost 60 but my activity is still 28 activity as of now.

You won't be able to get another 14 activity until the next activity period which is this Tuesday I believe. You will then immediately become a Jnr member when you make a post in that new period.
