My son just showed this to me.  If it wasn't so true it would be hilarious.

Gambling isn't "goods," so that rule doesn't apply.  You're attempts to tarnish the reputation high ranking, trusted forum members is starting to resemble grasping at straws.  

Speaking of which, where's the proof that suchmoon is a scammer?  Did you get tired of running around that bush, so started this detraction?  Your tactics are so transparent it's laughable.  

Lol, I'll wear it as a badge of honor.   

There's no shame in presenting an idea that you feel will have benefit to the forum, even if it does get shot down in flames.   

I don't like the idea automatically removing old trust, or even forcing review of the feedback after a certain amount of time.  I prefer The Pharmacist's approach.  And, if the member want those who left negative feed back to review that feed back, he can post a thread about it in the Reputation board.  It has been demonstrated that can end with positive results.

It was only a suggestion and to clarify; I was presuming that if you have the money from selling the goods you could use that to fund your project, and you would not need a loan.  As a benefit, you'll have 100% of the value of the goods instead of only 83%.  Typically a lender will want the value of the collateral to equal 120% of the loan amount.

That's the crux of the issue, isn't it?  It isn't climate change, it's control.  Control not only of your modes of transportation, but also your thoughts.  They know they won't win a debate peddling a transparent socialist agenda.   So they attempt to peddle it to you hidden and obfuscated by legislating moral virtues.  The newspeak Green New Deal is nothing but a Red Old Scam.  

The climate control crowd are the modern day Nazis.  You can't challenge their "extensive research" without being dismissed as a backwoods, right wing conspiracy theorist.  It's ironic they claim to know so much about the climate, and postulate how they are so powerful that they can change the nature of the planet.  But they only demonstrate that human nature is nearly impossible to change.  


They don't have solutions to problems, they only want to beat you over the head with all the problems for which you're to blame.  That way they can justify taxing the shit out of you under the guise that will fix the problem.  But of course history demonstrates that only generates more problems...  For which, you're to blame.

  

Condoras is being skeptical, and rightfully so.  There are a lot newbies that show up here and ask for "loans" and offer collateral that they really would prefer to sell.  Taking a small hit on the value of their collateral could be a small price to pay if the item is hard to sell in a timely manner.  Don't take it personally; any body who offers to fill a loan on these boards should enter into such an agreement with a healthy level of suspicion and scrutiny.

Some of the collateral you offered would be really troublesome, and may require some expense to secure as honest to goodness collateral.  For example; If a lender accepts a smart phone as collateral, the phone must be activated by the lender before he can be sure it won't be reported as stolen and subsequently bricked.  Obviously the car would be a similar situation.

I understand your reluctance to go to a pawn-shop; they will only give a small fraction of the value of the goods you pawn.  That might not provide enough money for your project.

My suggestion is to sell everything you don't need, that can be replaced in the future.  If you are confident in your project, you'll be able to buy that stuff back later down the road.  Just a suggestion, worth everything you just payed for it.

Best of luck.

@TECSHARE

I don't think that your argument is false in anyway, and I'll say again; I agree with your agenda and philosophy.  We all live in societies of laws, and it's always best when those laws are unambiguous.  I just don't think that, strictly speaking that has to be the way a forum is operated.  It is just an internet forum.

To risk playing devils advocate; you said it yourself:


That argument alone demonstrates that he's less likely to implement a rigid set of guidelines for trust.  And after all, it's his forum to operate as he sees fit.  There are several illegal activities that play out here on the forum, and Theymos does little to prevent them.  Some of those illegal activities are conducted legitimately, and people participate in them willingly.  Some are down right scams.  That's what I would expect from a self described anarcho-capitalist.  The trust system applied the way it is allows the community to determine what is what is not trustworthy behavior despite the lack of rigid guidelines.  It can lead to inaccurate ratings, but it can also be worked out when errors occur.

I certainly don't claim it to be perfect, but what set of rigid guidelines is perfect?  Cryptocurrencey was born, and adopted out of the desire and need to decentralize wealth.  A relatively libertarian and anti-authoritarian philosophy, and it's likely to attract those who would like to put that philosophy into practice. 

There you go again, always blaming racism.  That's the argument you use when you really don't have an argument.  I work with a whole lot of Mexican immigrants, the legal kind.  Many of my coworkers are descendants of long-time American families of Hispanic origin.  My family is comprised predominantly of "brown" Arabs.  We all have one thing in common, we're Americans first.  We want what's best for our country.

It's not the color of the Canadians' skin that makes us not want them here, it's the fact that most of them are commies. 

Lol, the best part about this thread, is the plagiarism.  I'd like to say good bye, but good riddance is more fitting.

I reported him for plagiarism for posting that stupidity.  His days here are numbered.

And this is why the ignore feature is useless.  Feeding trolls makes the whole world dumber, but it can be hilarious.

Interesting suggestion.  I see no reason not to have the merit count for a post when looking through post history.

And it's an interesting argument you make about campaign managers, and giving them a fast way to notice if the local community appreciated the post.  Not all campaign managers deny payments for posts made in local boards, while some deny payment for posts made in several English boards as well.  I think it has a lot to do with the service that's being advertised, and whether the topic fits.  

Also, it's about advertisement, and that means reaching eye balls.  Certainly some of the local boards have a lot of traffic, but many do not.  I would not want to be the campaign manger who has to defend his decision to include one local board while denying others.

Again, I see no reason not to implement your suggestion, but I don't think your justification is a valid enough reason.  

So did the Democrats.  They pushed Trump into it, thinking it would ruin him.  All that after trying to get $40 billion for "border security."  More like $40 billion for Fast and Furious.  It's going to backfire (pun intended.)  Americans want a secure border, while petty Democrats merely want to prevent a "Trump Wall" sprawling across hundreds of miles across our southern border.


Why would Trump call for a national emergency for any of those things?  You can't have a national emergency against the constitution.  The 9th circus can only delay the inevitable...  With six more years of Trump the 9th circus might start looking like a real court again. 


And they are, in a round about way.


Trump is working for the best interest of Americans, and having a POTUS who does was long overdue. Fixing border security is getting to emergency status.  If problems such as drugs, human trafficking, and thousands of illegal immigrants don't qualify as an emergency, I don't know what does.  To put things into perspective: Democrats don't want to spend more $1.375 billion to protect Americans, but they'll spend tens of billions per year on foreign aid or some random boondoggle.  California's governor has over $3 billion of federal grant money that he would rather squander on a train he knows won't get finished, than give it back to help pay for the wall.

I've been looking at it a little more carefully, Blockchain is starting to bill themselves as an exchange, and the KYC is for trading in that capacity.  I think they are using this air-drop to lure people to use their new service, but to get the air-drop you need to submit KYC.  I don't think the staff of Blockchain will do anything nefarious with my info, and it's not like they can glean much information about me from my driver's license.  None the less, I think I'll pass for now.

Account Mikuhashi was banned, and nuked, so technically mutrang23 was evading the ban.  I don't know if that's the reason mutrang23 was banned, there may have been plagiarism.  I spent a little time reading through the post history, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the actual reason.



Done.  Thanks for reminding me.

It's a little convoluted, I don't remember exactly how I came upon that, but I think I was searching for the telegram username @mutrang23, and saw this:



I saw that telegram username @mutrang23 had been posted along with twitter username @KhangBap.  All of Mikuhashi's posts have been deleted, but I found this quote:

Lol!  Oh, I'm not worried.  But I'm not falling for your scam attempt either, so what would I have to worry about?


Warning to all:

Ban evasion.

It really must suck, since you just bought that account.  There was about a month long break in posts, then the quality of English went to shit.  Maybe it was the previous owner of the account that got you in trouble.  Another reason to not buy accounts...

That's basically how I feel about it.  Not that my Driver's license has enough information that could be used to steal identity.  I just get suspicious anytime I'm asked to prove my identity.
