I knew this would be fake before I even clicked on it, if this was true we would of heard it all over the news. Someone has already mentioned that a normal rep wouldn't know much about development and wouldn't now they are planning on accepting Bitcoin. Also, no way would they rather tell people on a email than a news report. I'm not going to continue to explain why this is fake because; 

How would you define that? This is a forum and not a fully focused marketplace, it would be very hard to determine if person A has dealt with person B. Also, a lot of people deal other places such a bitmit (when it was open) and have left good/bad feedback here.

Surprise right?



They are indeed running among us now posting where ever they like.

The trust system is not moderated which is a better way than having staff getting overwhelmed with the amount of requests they would have for removing false feedback. Also, the reason why staff don't get involved is because how are they suppose to know that the feedback was false? It would cause a lot of problems.

Going on to the second idea involving the "+1 for every good feedback score you get" comment. This could be very easily abused with sock puppets. There's a reason why we have untrusted feedback and trusted feedback.

Why isn't it good? If it was the way you are suggesting people would be spamming to increase their activity. I think this is a better system than we had before and is working very well.

Could we also have restrictions on old accounts which haven't been used for a very long time and have suddenly started to post again? It could reduce the amount of spam and also restrict the act of selling/buying forum accounts.

Edit: It seems removing the newbie section has decreased a lot of spam and hasn't had any negative effects to the forum yet.

Plus all of the posts you have made today have been total rubbish and hasn't even contributing to the discussion isn't that against the ad payout rules?

I agree. I have it checked by default, and I think the site should have it checked by default because I see this all the time that no one checks untrusted feedback because it's hidden.

"The house always wins" otherwise why would people make gambling sites? It would be pointless, people start to win and get hooked and think they'll have good luck, but in most cases that's that not correct.

Until no one uses it? But, I still disagree you shouldn't wipe anyone balance.

Guess it's a experiment. Well at least I hope. It could either good really well or really bad and our other sections may get filled with "Hi I'm new" threads. Or, it could reduce the amount of spam and off topic posts in the newbie section.

Hopefully it will reduce the newbie spam. But, like Badbear said there will still be useless/repeated posts. Hopefully it won't become a problem in the other sections now.

There's normally a lot of threads asking who's selling WOW accounts and gold, I don't know why there isn't much interest.

Could you confirm this please?

Edit: Future readers please when reporting a scam include enough evidence that people can look into and confirm, appears that the OP did get a payout after all.

Oh Siri not again, Please not again.

I would use a escrow if you are going to be dealing with anyone, especially new users.

You got to love the alt coin spam. In a way they succeeded because they got  sub-forums like they asked.

No I don't like that one. Please another.

Copied coins fail for a reason. Anyone can make them and any point in time, the code is pasted on the internet. They only have to change a few variables and then pump and dump. Dogecoin is only successful at the moment. In a few months to a year it will be just like any other coin.

I don't think it will be successful in the long run. Normally coins do this and die within a few months.
