That's exactly what it is.  

I believe he was suggesting Alibaba as a alternative to Ebay...


Nice to see you around again Bob.

Shoot me a message, I've been a little busy recently and out of town so haven't been able to contact you until now. I'll be around only a few hours a day so excuse me if I take awhile to respond.

Cheers for the warning, I'm due a password change anyway.

I also do this to prevent the other party from misunderstanding, I don't think I've ever used "bits" or even satoshi when doing business. 1.12345678 is probably the easiest to follow and not much can go wrong as everyone is familar with it.

Teamspeak/Ventrilo are used for gaming more commonly, whilst Skype is used for Businesses originally and now general conversations. Although, Vent/TS are largely focused on gaming communities whilst Skype is not. Too different things in my opinion and can't be compared.

Mods take a lot of shit off people, you got to respect that. Mprep seems to be like a geniune guy and normally spot on about the decisions and I see these types of messages as he's doing his job right.

The only account that matches the information provided is: Gamer67

Simply type in your email which is tied to the account if you have been trying to recover via username.


Otherwise: Read

Trust should only be displayed when in marketplace or trading related sections. Otherwise, people might not take someone seriously because of their trust rating, when in fact their statement was 100% truthful or accurate. It happens because people are irrational. When in fact the majority of the cases I see is people get bombed by users on DefaultTrust just because they disagree with something. It's because of this I have no one on my trust list anymore.

If a user hasn't sent it before and then their account is compromised and the hacker sends all the information to the DefaultTrust account, then it apears that the hacker is the owner of the account although that's wrong. I'm sure BadBear has mentioned before that it may not be accepted under certain circumstances. (may be wrong)

What I pointed out above is only one scenario, there are many which it could be abused some which I probably haven't even thought of. Also,  with people selling their accounts and sent their address to DefaultTrust prior to the deal and then once the money has been transfered and they try to reclaim their account by signing their address, then what would you do in this scenario? Who is the rightful owner? How would you even tell that this has occurred? If you even had a hint that this had happended you have to completely reject this as evidence.

I was under the impression that sending a message to DefaultTrust is simply a precaution and may or may not be accepted as evidence.

I did edit my post to continue further (I have a habit of doing that). I have been caught out a few times for simply stating wrong section but, I'm not really concerned about my percentage, doesn't really affect me much as long as the issue has been dealt with. People are too concerned about the report percentage, but that comes down to bragging rights and ego problems I suppose. It's been stated that each staff member is different and take their own intuitive when it comes to handling reports.

So, yes I agree it's better to include more information if you can. But, the majority of the cases don't really need much pointing out, unless you are concerned about losing percentage because it's been moved recently.

It's seems a matter of perspective. I've spoken to other staff members privately and they have stated if the report was submitted for a obvious reason, then there's no real need to put anything in the field. although they did say it's easier for them. Really, there's no need to specify where the topic should be moved, if it's posted in the wrong section then that's exactly what we report. I do tend to specify where to move the thread if it's complicated or not easy to identify where it should go, but the majority of the time it's actually easy to identify by the title or even skimming over the post for a few seconds.

So my reports are a mixture of both, if they are more complicated I'll specify where to put them. To every thing else, ref spam etc. They are pretty easy and there's no need to go into detail with them. I've gone into a little more detail with duplicate threads etc actually linking to the dupe.

I've been caught out by this a few times.

I've been at 98% for around 2 months now. But, was at 99% for as long as I can remember before dropping recently.
 

I've always believed that socialism or libertarianism is the way to go. I believe both have great moral concepts and I would settle for any one of those over the current chaos we are experiencing. I wouldn't say that my views/beliefs have changed since using Bitcoin, but they certainly have evolved and are convincing me day by day that it would work if given the chance. I wouldn't say I prefer socialism to libertarianism or the other way around, because they both have things I agree with and some things which I believe there's a better solution for. However, I think I've always swayed towards libertarianism the most and normally talk about it more with some of my friends. I'm sure in the next few years my views and opinions will evolve that much more, but nothing dramatic and I'll probably be claiming libertarianism is the way to go. It's a complex system and isn't such a easy thing as saying which one is the best, because honestly? I don't know at the present.

I like what you did there!

I think they are more closely related than people care to admit. They are extremely close to being the same thing with only a small margin which separates them.

I think this thread actually made me realism how much I favor libertarianism over socialism, although I still believe they are both wonderful philosophies.

Being a Lord Of The Rings fan I've used the same argument when explaining to people who don't quite grasp the concept. I'm quite amused to see someone else also compared it to the whole point of the movie too.

Theymos is away at the moment, so I imagine BadBear is extremely busy. He's got to cover for Theymos and is also being bombarded with messages from other members. I couldn't imagine the amount of messages he receives in the space of a hour. Most of his messages probably aren't quick fixes either and requires researching and then finding a solution. If your message isn't a priority then he will probably dismiss it until more important issues have been dealt with, although I'm not 100% familiar how he handles things and I might be wrong.

BadBear has seen this thread though, so just remain patient. It's been suggested to contact a moderator if you haven't already if your issue could be solved by them.

Also, a quote from theymos about the PM feature:

Should imagine, BadBear is in the same position as Theymos was back then.

If you don't report how can you complain about it? If you see any thing which is against the guidelines, report it and quit complaining. The thing is the moderators can't act on something if they don't know about it.

Even, though "BiPolarBob" was doing a great thing, he still broke one of the rules which is quite clear and precise. Being the greatest user on the forum which has donated hundreds of dollars doesn't make the exempt from the rules. It's like saying someone donated millions to charity but, then stole from a old lady should not be put in prison. (Of course it could be anyone not just a old lady I did that because people react more severely too more vulnerable people for some silly reason)

I fully support why the staff don't ban scammers, people need to stop relying on others and use your own initiative and intelligence.


Note: It's not that I'm against "BiPolarBob" he actually did a really nice thing for me and Arklan, but that doesn't change the fact a rule was broken.

I'm sorry. Bumping multiple times within a 24 hours period is against the guidelines. No matter where your thread is, 1st page or the 21st. It doesn't matter.

I've sent a message. Look in this thread abut price discussion, it varies per job.

So, yeah it was nice having you here.

Let's take the aggression out of this, and tell me what you are looking for exactly on your hard drive. I've read the thread numerous times and still don't quite understand what you are looking for and hoping to achieve from all of this.
