They shouldn't be posted here. Just leave appropriate feedback and/or make a scam accusation thread in the Scam Accusation forum.

Posting here might be a good idea. Especially if you know that the guy is active here on btctalk

He meant not here in meta (and don't). It goes in Scam Accusations.

It does seem to be an issue, but looking further ahead, I'm not sure a new board is a good solution. These guys would quickly make it pretty useless too. Might be better to limit the amount of auctions one can have at any given time.

In addition, there should probably be a limit to how many times a thread can be bumped, at least consecutively (so it wouldn't apply to active threads with replies). If you've been bumping your topic for days and there's no interest, then it's pointless. Also, how many bumps per day total overall to stop the bumping of a dozen threads a day.

Google searches are personalized, this forum will show up higher in results because you visit here.
665  Other / Meta / Re: Stats page has an error (probably an easy fix) on: September 16, 2014, 11:46:05 AM
It's
Code:
(number of posts you posted in this forum) / (number of total posts posted in this forum, from everybody)

Right. That particular measurement is your posts/total posts. It's meant to show your activity in that board compared to overall activity there. Brazil shows up in my top ten because I moved a bunch of topics a couple times, because overall there are few topics/posts there.

Com certeza, usar os serviços de escrow por um usuário com boa reputação é a única forma para alguém (ainda desconhecido) iniciar seus negócios de maneira segura.

Nada pessoal, OP, mas está completamente fora de questão aventurar-se. Se há um conselho que deve ser sempre observado é: "prevenir é melhor que remediar".

Seja bem vindo, BitcoinBarato. Serviços como o seu são extremamente úteis para a popularização do Bitcoin. Certamente, aceitar essa "parceria" oferecida pelo Adriano vai te ajudar a crescer em nossa comunidade.

Hello,

I would like to know who decides what is and what is not considered SPAM, and what are the adopted criteria, in order that I understand why my post (as quoted above) was deleted.

Thank you.

Why are you asking us?

Yes, or set up something on their own website. If they want to link to bct profiles they can have them put a code in their profile in one of the empty fields, like aim/icq/skype.

what about the  free distribution coins?  Huh

There are many ways to handle that, that don't require posting in a thread.

Ok, that was funny, this is the first post I've literally lol'ed at in a while.

So what about this thread of mine: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774828.0

Can I add a banner ad? (most likely to another thread of mine not a site)

Of course not, are you serious?

Lock it yourself, lower left, or ctrl-f for lock.
672  Other / Meta / Re: I can't recover my account on: September 09, 2014, 09:57:20 PM
So you're trying to reset your password because it doesn't work, your email as recovery doesn't exist, and you aren't getting the emails when using username?

Sounds like your account got compromised.
673  Other / Meta / Re: DefaultTrust is BAD. Very bad. on: September 09, 2014, 09:45:46 PM
Mods can't, admins can.

Most of them are using proxies/tor, or once they get IP banned they will.

If the "compelling evidence" is made public my feedback will be removed. So far the "buyer" of the account is being shady in my opinion. And the original owner is disputing the sale. Something is up, isn't it?

Leaving feedback because of a lack of evidence isn't really a good reason. I don't trust anyone involved in this, so I stay out of it.

Maybe it's a bit of a vicious circle... Buying accounts is a pretty underground activity right now. So people don't trust bought accounts and leave negative feedback to warn others. In turn account buyers try to hide.
However, the circle can be broken from both sides. The buyer can take the first step and be transparent about what happened. That could breed enough trust to get the negative feedback returned.

Except he did post his opinion on what happened, or his version of events, and since it included that the account was bought by necessity, he got negative feedback for it. Not taking sides here, I don't trust anyone involved in this. Quickseller, if he wants to be reputable should have confirmed the account wasn't stolen before buying it. Current owner of Zedicus should have confirmed this. Original owner of zedicus should have been more careful with his account.

And in this case the negative feedback might accomplish something. I know the new owner is signed up for a signature campaign. The negative feedback thing may get him kicked out of that. I hope it will give them an incentive to resolve this particular issue openly.

Except you and others gave him the feedback as soon as he did post openly. If he posts proof, it's also proof he bought the account. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Makes it really hard to resolve these situations when people leave negative feedback for posting about it. I'm not picking on you specifically, you aren't the only one.

I don't know why people leave feedback for accounts just because they are bought /sold. It doesn't really accomplish anything in the big picture, and only serves to drive the activity underground, which leads to a lot of people getting screwed over. If people didn't leave negative feedback, people would probably be a lot more open about what accounts are being sold/bought, which would be much more beneficial over the long term than the short term benefits of a few accounts getting bad feedback.

Redacting moderator's name from sent notifications when actions are taken, like it is in the modlog and mod action pm's.

Probably a bug, changes were made, but that wasn't the intention. Thanks for the report.

No need for that, spammers get banned, and often get negative feedback as well.

on the typical forums yes, but i frequent the Alt Section, which for for the most part has no moderation, there is just too much traffic and not enough mods to do the "banning".

I doubt mods really read ALL the feedback, it's just too much i think. Increasing the number of mods has been suggested, but unfortunately, most of the candidates have ulterior motives. 

Adding a tag wouldn't do anything for this issue, since tags are added by us. If we're looking into a user enough to add a tag we'd just ban them.

Alt currencies will probably get a moderator, though likely from the current pool of staff (should eliminate concerns of ulterior motives which is a strong possibility when considering "outside" candidates). I was against it at first for various reasons I don't really want to talk about, but overall it's probably better to have one.

he's actually been saying he needs to borrow MORE money in order to launch some hare-brained scheme...and THEN he can pay back the debt.

Yep, and when he does something dumb and loses it all, he's going to do the same thing he did to squall. "Sorry it isn't my fault, so you're screwed. Here, have some love instead."
