^ Was just about to say I've seen this exact same loan request before here. Was wondering if it was a copypasta, but yeah, probably not dank (don't think he's into EDM or put this much thought into it ).

Maybe you could pretend to be a woman on one in order to scam There are many valid and invalid reasons for having alt accounts. You can have one for business and one for personal, you can use them for signature campaigns, you can use one to post opinions that you may not want associated with your main account, you can have one that you use from untrusted connections/computers etc. And then there's the bad uses like ban evasion or using them to scam or troll etc. As per forum rules though you can have as many as you wish.

Skilling my trolling - Nothing serious.

Don't feed the trolls, guys.

He used an alternative account to try extort someone and it was found out the account belonged to Candystripes.

You need to have posted in five activity periods to become a Member so if you time it right you can get there a little quicker than two and a half months. For instance, the new activity period starts tomorrow so you could sign up today and get 14 points and another 14 tomorrow, so you would become a Member on the 20th of Jan providing you posted in all the periods and made the right amount of posts. You could also just make one post in each of the five periods then make the rest up later and you would instantly rank up from a Newbie to a Member within a day.

As Badbear said it's not forbidden but most people think trying to buy/encourage/ask for trust is very frowned upon, but you can take each incident on a case by case basis, but what people leave feedback for is largely up to the individual user and this type of behavior is for the community to police. I don't think this is the worst case of trust abuse so I think taking this thread as a warning (or at the most a neutral trust) would suffice and hopefully conteaza has learned where he went wrong.


I think the vast majority of people taking (and sometimes those giving) the loans do so to build up feedback.


Just because someone is not on DefaultTrust doesn't make their feedback discountable and it is still seen under 'untrusted' which doesn't mean 'worthless'. A person can always get put on the default trust at a later date as well which will instantaneously make their feedback 'green'. Feedback is always worth something and can help you make up your mind about a user. If people can see you have done many trades this could also help people in deciding whether to put you on the default trust list themselves.

Yes you do. Are you sure all of those other sites that are listed let you control your own keys tad well?

Always? Why do they wait for the World Cup or special sporting event and not gamble everyday if it's a viable income? Saying that, I did win over £1000 from a bankroll of £100 during the World Cup   but it was definitely just look and wouldn't be sustainable.

Sluts are awesome. You should try being one. So much fun.


That looks like Spidey is trying to climb out of a dogs arsehole.


Yeah. Op is trying to 'skill his trolling' here but he isn't doing a very good job.

You can try PM-ing Blazedout419 instead. He's been logged in today.

Thanks.

He attempted to extort someone on an alt account. And just because you wern't successful in your scam doesn't mean you aren't a scammer. What DannyHamilton said also stands. Most people here don't trust you or think you're untrustworthy and your feedback reflects this.

I'm sure it's intentional just like 'staff/moderator' and trust showing up in certain sections.

That's very unlikely due to an issue on blockchain.info's end. People lose coins because of their own fault most of the time. Blockchain.info seems to be probably the most secure of all web wallets so not sure why it's been delisted exactly. If people losing coins through their own lack of security is a reason to remove them then best remove all the others and any exchanges they recommend as well.

Why are you interested in becoming an escrow one day? The majority of the time people who set out to want to be an escrow do it for all the wrong reasons. You need to become incredibly trusted over time and you do that by doing trades yourself and being an active member of the community. In my opinion the minimum rank you should be before offering such services is a Senior Member but even that only takes eight months to achieve so I'd say a Hero Member ideally, but you must also be very active and trusted with money and have done many successful trades too. You can make a little money from escrowing but it's usually only tiny amounts or for tips and there's plenty of free escrows who've been doing it a long time so not sure why people would pay to use a newer one. It's not really a viable business and is done more so to help the community and get the occasional tip for your service.

What do each of these images mean? Does this mean we're getting a +1 and a 'favourite' feature?

Always just report the one post with an explanation to check out the rest. Reporting every single one is unnecessary and far too time consuming for both the reporter and staff to handle.

The other option is offering weekly payments then at least they can prove they will pay out pretty quickly and if they do scam then you've only given them a weeks worth of advertising. However, some deals have paid out for the first couple/few weeks then eventually scammed so it's not a guarantee but I suppose any deal could eventually not pay for whatever reasons.

True, but people are also free to ask questions regarding the decision (whether theymos chooses to respond or not). I think denying bids is always going to raise intrigue and curiosity as to why, especially when the company doesn't appear to be doing anything wrong (that we know of) and there's much more questionable ads that get accepted without any problems. I'd personally like to know why they were rejected but theymos is under no obligation to provide any reasoning if he doesn't want to, like you say.

I don't see much alt coin stuff spilling into other sections and when it does it's minor and handled pretty quickly. What I like about having the alt section is at least everything is kept (largely) quarantined in there. If we didn't have it people would still post alt coin stuff here. Whilst your suggestion could work I don't think it will happen and just seems like actually creating more hassle and work for the staff to be honest.
