That information about banned users shouldn't have been shared, and certainly shouldn't have been posted publicly, it's been handled.
Bans for sig spammers are generally posted in the staff forum and handled by me, any that aren't handled that way are already an anomaly and would be checked, so it's extremely unlikely that such a thing would go unnoticed.
Thank you for replying and addressing this issue. My concern about banning signature spammers is that these bans are likely based on other things (likely the number of previously delated posts they have). So if these other actions have happened to someone in a signature campaign (a lot of posts get delated that maybe shouldn't have been) then the account might get banned when a ban might not be warranted. Based on your response, I assume that you know who had provided this signature campaign operator information about the users who were banned. You more then likely know who gave this information because it was likely sent via PM. But what if next time the information is sent in a way other then PM? It would be very difficult to track the dissemination of this information if it was sent by email (for example). This is also essentially robbing the forum from potential revenue. By receiving a larger payment then what is available to the general public and then providing non-public information the forum is essentially robbed of the opportunity to sell this information if it deemed a good idea to do so. The same applies to anything else that a mod could potentially do in exchange for a higher payment. I think that the forum should take up a policy to prohibit staff/moderators from accepting payment from a signature campaign that pays them at a higher rate then what they would receive if they were not a moderator/staff. This would stop the appearance of any conflict of interest. |

Hi Stunna, How are you able to see the ban status of users, and their ban duration? This information is not public knowledge and is being used for commercial purposes. Maybe he has other account which is mod on this forum . LOL . Btw ur trust rating is i think the best on this forum, how u menaged to do that :S . I am pretty sure this is not the case. He is paying staff above market rates then somehow has access to information that only mods have access to. I am surprised users are not making a bigger deal about this. |

What is the forum policy on mods accepting business opportunities that are not available to members of the general public under the same circumstances? The reason I ask is because a certain signature campaign is signature campaign is paying staff (mods) at the same rate that legendary members receive. From what I have seen is that most mods are only senior members, and the specific mods that are participating in this signature campaign are senior members. On it's face, this does not sound like any problem, but if the mod is receiving a higher payment then is available to members of the general public in the same circumstances then the campaign operator may be able to exert undue influence over this/these mods. The reason for my concern is that this post has a campaign operator denying payment to 9 members because they were banned during the payment term. The fact that a user is or was banned is not public information. AFAIK there is no publicly available way to know when a user is banned, nor the length of the ban (the length was also mentioned in the above post). I cannot say this for sure but it appears that the campaign operator is giving mods an above market rate for posting and is receiving information that is not generally available to the public. Another concern is that a campaign operator could potentially use their influence to get a mod to ban a user who should not otherwise be banned because the campaign operator wants to save on advertising costs. According to this post any user who was banned during any part of the term will not be paid. The above post also says that staff members will be able to join the campaign at any time (no one else is able to join at this time). This post also says that staff members are able to receive a specific higher rate then senior members. Does the forum have a policy on mods accepting these kind of opportunities? If it does not then I think mods should be prohibited from accepting these kinds of offers. The reason for this is to prevent potential conflicts of interest, or potential perceived conflicts of interest. |

Is your senior account already enrolled in a signature program?
PM sent. To answer publicly - my lower level senior accounts are enrolled in a very basic signature campaign. My senior accounts with higher activity levels are enrolled in very high paying signature campaigns that have the potential to make .48 BTC per month for 400 posts. |

Mine's in my sig (hosted by Google Sites).
So I would more or less need to have it hosted somewhere and post a link to it? There is no good place in the forum itself to keep it? Maybe we should invent a place to host this information exactly for the purpose of allowing other people to find it. It'd have to be some kind of server that holds public keys. Before we build it, we need a good name for it. What kind of name should we give to key-holding server? Decisions, decisions... Ya, I know that you can use a key server, but it would be very difficult to associate a specific key on the key server with a specific account. Someone could easily find a dormant account with positive trust, upload a key to the key server and claim they lost the password to the account in order to scam someone. |

did you even read the thread? The whole point of a mod locking it is so that the user can't unlock it later.
Well, maybe I miss the point, but I created a thread and locked it. Now I'm unable to unlock it. That's pretty much the desired outcome, no? Looks like I was mistaken.  I always thought you could lock and unlock your threads because I heard scammers were locking their topics to prevent people from calling them out, then unlocking for a split second to bump. They are able to do this. I see this all the time in the marketplace (and with a self moderated thread). I personally think it should be against forum rules as there is no purpose to this other then to scam, but it is besides the point. I also was just able to unlock this thread after I locked it. The button was in the same place. Trust ratings can be left on their profile and more detailed discussion posted in Scam Accusations https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0Some of us would rather not have to constantly delete the bullshit people post (that has nothing to do with actually executing a transaction) to bump their count for sig advertising campaigns. There would be very little to say (and there would be zero concrete evidence) unless you actually took the time to attempt to deal with them. Plus if someone asks a question on your thread you only need to answer it one time, verses potentially many times via PM, especially if it is something that many people would likely want to know. On a separate note, I have posted my PGP key here, if possible can a mod please lock this topic? |

If you need to post anything reputation related then please post in my trust. This applies to both good and bad experiences. If you need to send me sensitive information, or want to send me something that only I can read then you can encrypt your message to me. If you want to make sure I am the same person who is posting in this thread then you can request that I sign a message with my PGP key. Below is my PGP key: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

I guess you could post in in the Reputation board and lock it. I don't know if you can edit yoour posts there though.
Actually users can't unlock threads locked by a moderator, so if one gets a mod/admin to lock it that would be a workaround since posts in locked threads can't be edited. Mods can still unlock it though. Are mods generally willing to lock threads for this reason? I would think they would get overwhelmed by requests for this if this was done on a regular basis. |

If you were to implement this then all messages would be decrypted on the server side. What would be much better would be to have better public awareness of the importance of using PGP for sensitive PMs.
Also the vast majority of PMs likely do not need to be encrypted as they only contain casual conversation and/or casual business that realistically no one would case about if they were able to intercept.
On a 2nd though I guess you could have a field for a public PGP key that would automatically encrypt messages and the receipt would need to manually copy/paste the message to decrypt, however this would still involve encryption on the server side which is still much less secure then encryption on the client side.
It can be encrypted via Javascript on the client (browser) just before sending the data. It doesn't need to be encrypted server-side. What if javascript is disabled on someone's browser? Would they not be able to send PMs? I would also not personally want some 3rd party software encrypting my messages (automatically or not). If the forum were to get hacked and the hack does not get noticed then an attacker could potentially modify the software to also encrypt messages to they PGP key. I think it would cause unnecessary work for when information that is not at all sensitive is being sent, for example that the seller of a transaction received payment. |

Do you think you should move primedice to closed for new participants (maybe with an asterisk) as they are only accepting staff and legendary members. Alternatively you could keep it as "open" and asterisk it with the same.
I won't change it, because some people cannot join anymore. Haven't done that in the past, won't do it in the future. It's too much work to keep track of all campaigns and change it if a certain rang cannot join anymore. Fair enough. I just mentioned it because of the fact that the vast majority of users are below legendary (only ~170 legendary verses ~700 senior hero and many, many thousands of below senior hero users). On a side note +1 on this list - I think many users have benefited from it and it has been done very professionally so far. Edit: it's actually 200 and 800~ legendary and hero members respectively but the point remains https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237597.msg8308320#msg8308320 |

Hello
I also selling my old account

I don't buy accounts. Sorry. |

dont buy these accounts anymore for the price they are asking cause now PD sig campaign will be gone a different direction
Senior accounts should be worth more then this because if you have anything less you can make much less with other campaigns. ha ha your so wrong, seniors nor hero can join PD sign campaign any more, get .10btc for them while you can. That is not true. You are trolling. Seniors and heros can still join the PD campaign and any other campaign that is open. For now seniors and hero can't join PD sign campaign because it is full until someone quits.   ... StatusAll ranks under senior: No longer offeredSenior: FULLHero: FULLLegendary/Staff: Available ... Ya I see this :/ It appears that PrimeDice is focusing their advertising money elsewhere (I saw Stunna looking for a SEO expert several days ago but will only pay if they are successful in getting their site to page 1 of search results of certain keywords. I personally think this is a bad idea as the signature campaign is the most efficient way to advertise a BTC related gambling site (IMO). There will still be other campaigns that people can join with purchased accounts and there are other campaigns open today. |
