Even if they can delete the posts, they're not lost forever. A copy of their post will most likely be visible on https://www.bitcointa.lkI didn't even know that existed. Why in the holy sideways fuck don't we have forum software like what bitcointa.lk has?!? Probably because a) new forum software is being developed and b) the community is currently very used to SMF compared to other platforms such as XenForo. c)The current code is modified for extra security while keeping the functionality. I must admit, the forum security is bloody fantastic! </sarcasm> Well, bitcointa.lk would be hacked much more often than this forum has. The one that gets more attention is the one always getting attacked. |

I don't think mods have something against paid signature users, and are more rigorous to them, only that people with paid signatures tends to make more spam sometimes, then are baned more often, sometimes. Or maybe because baned signature paid users complains more when baned.
I think would not be fair use other rules to people that rents his signatures
The opinions really differ amongst the mods so there's different actions taken regarding paid sigs. |

Maybe force new topics made in sections that are identified as very controversial to be moderated before they are submitted if they are from Newbies/Jr. Members?
I'm sure the mods will agree this would be far too much work for them. I wonder if any restrictions or the newbie jail will be brought back for the new forums though? Doubt that newbie jail restrictions will return. And regarding the moderated threads, that's kind of over the top in my opinion. |

Typing a wrong password always results in a second try, then getting this irritating "Please wait 45 seconds" message. It would be a lot better if the "Password incorrect" message was changed to "Password incorrect. Please wait 45 seconds before trying again" so users know beforehand that they should wait.
This makes sense, It Isn't a huge problem but I agree update Like that could be made. Doesn't seem too hard to be implemented. Sometimes I forget there's a time limit between logins and this really irritates when it happens and you have to carefully retype your pass again. |

Yes, I would have liked to sell this account in a future, with some positive trust from the loans. I bought it "cheap" trying to flip it soon for more. You made it hard sincerely. It seems you don't like others make some BTC in the way they can. Buying and selling accounts is a honest way to earn BTC even if you don't agree.
Buying and selling accounts is not the problem here. As it was allready mentioned: you are trying to buy trust. Which Vod prevented to his abilities. If you are trading with someone that has an account labeled "Hero Member" - registered sometime 2010, would you trust that person more or less than a "Newbie" that registered last week? Trust can not be bought, but only earned, can not be proven but only disproven. I don't know when I tried to buy trust, I was happy with my 0 trust. I'll repeat what was said again many times: a newbie with 0 Trust (capital T), isn't as trustworthy as a Sr. member with 0 trust. Trust (capital T) isn't the only thing that comes into determining ones reputation. |

Theymos isn't the only person they are trying to impersonate, and I ban such accounts almost every day, if you see them, or if they PM you, report them ("Report to moderator" or "Report To Admin" if it's a PM).
It's actually pretty easy to find them as well: just search for members witht the phrase "they" (without quotes) and almost every 4th account is an impersonator. |

I don't think it would be worth for any hacker and their time.
Really depends. Some faucets have serious holes, especially the ones using popular scripts, which only take a couple of minutes to exploit. |

edit: why can't I see now on the left the red trust? I can only see it when I enter my profile
Only some forums show it, like marketplace forums. ok, thanks. I can understand the "warning" sign but as it is now, I'm passing like a scammer. Forum should add a neutral trust or something with acts as warning. I can't sell the account anymore and it's hard for me now to trade/offer services. Nevermind.
Well, purchasing an account doesn't add trust. You have to create your own one and build it up, get rep in legitimate ways rather than expect to be considered trustworthy just because you bought an account. I know it doesn't add trust, that was not the meaning of buying it. Should be added on the link where staff members says it's allowed to buy accounts that it not only not adds any trust, but it implies receiving neg rep from hero (never truer word) member. If I wanted to resell the account now, I shouldn't be needing to build a trust first. I can understand you are flooded by scams here but I don't agree with neg rep first person you see that bought an account. In that case, newbies should start with neg rep too and start building their own. You fail to understand what the negative rep means. Newbie with no rep = Sr. Member with trustworthy negative rep about buying the account. The fact it's negative doesn't mean anything - it's what's in the comments that matters. The negative rep implies that this person is not to be trusted until he gets positive feedback witht the timestamp later than the negative one. So this rating pretty much just resets any rep the previous owner had. |

Unfortunately there's nothing much you can do. The only sure fire way is to try work it out with vod and get him to remove it. Though buying/selling accounts is allowed, some people frown upon it and leave negative, so this is why people try keep sold accounts hush-hush.
Btw 0.3 is a steal for a Snr Account. They seem to go for double that.
Well with a neg rep their worth nothing. Selling accounts is allowed because nobody can stop it effectively. The neg reputation from Vod informs everyone you aren't a long time member in these forums and that giving out a loan to you equals giving a loan out to a newbie. I don't see any abuse here, only a valid warning
He neg rep for buying, not for loan as I use escrow. Apart from that, you are saying if a newbie offers bitcoin services he should be neg reputation. Abuse is he leave aprox 3 neg rep per day and if he doesnt reach that number he neg rep randomly. Always members without trust so you cant give him back. Non sense. No, I'm saying that he left the rep so nobody would be under the impression that you are more trustworthy than any newbie. It's pretty logical - not everyone knows that the account you are currently using was bought by a newbie. The loan was only an example of a possible situation. |

Letting them create topics after any amount of posts is just going to cause more spam and more people will try to pad their post counts with useless crud. If this were to be implemented, it would have to be measured on activity or something else you can't spam your way that fast.

As the title says, I am selling a few copies of Bioshock Triple Pack (includes all 3 Bioshock games: Bioshock, Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite,) for about  ($28 in BTC, regular price in store - $59.99) and Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition for about  ($15 in BTC, regular store price - $29.99). You go first as I have rep or escrow at your cost (there are trustworthy ones providing this service for free as well). Post here or PM, if you want to trade. |

I'm assuming there is no way for users to retain their scammer tag if they want to keep it?  And just why exactly would you want to keep it? Sentimental reasons? Maybe just being unique like the Donator and VIP ranks, except that you get it for stealing rather than donating. |
