Seems it was reported for low quality.

The people have spoken. Democracy is a success. What do I win? 

Please only bump your thread once every 24 hours. Thanks.

Bump. Still looking. New Huawei phones are probably out of the question as apparently they can't have microSD cards in them and use their own nano memory. Don't think they can use the Google store either. Mi phones are very good value and their older models used to come with dual sims and microsd slots so I'll probably just have to wait for one of the new ones to do so.

I would be very surprised if Trump pardons him. What's in it for him apart from headaches when the media inevitably crucify him for releasing a so-called drug King-pin? Trump will probably be in a lot of various legal troubles when he leaves office and no more diplomatic immunity so he probably doesn't want any more legal issues. What's the deal with presidential pardons anyway? Can they literally pardon anyone? Mass murderers? El Chapo if he wanted? Can the pardoned people be re-arrested or re-charged for the same crimes at any point?

I don't think it's fair that Ross in prison for literal life and seems very unjust but the fact that he very likely tried to have someone assassinated doesn't sit right with me. I think the punishment for that should be severe, maybe even the same as murder, but sometimes all that gets you is a few years. I remember a while ago the lead singer of As I Lay Dying was caught trying to have his wife murdered by an undercover police office but he got out of prison within 4 years which is pretty crazy. I wonder if Ross has somehow offered some of his bitcoins to people for help? The wealth he's potentially sitting on might get a few people to help him.


Unjust laws should be broken. Drugs should be legal. Government should leave people alone on that front.


Well there was likely a lot of entrapment going on, which is illegal. If I recal correctly it was probably one of the undercover cops that suggested they hire someone to take out the enemy, which if so is 100% entrapment. Still, he shouldn't have gone along with it but the murder for hire charge wasn't used in court and probably would have been thrown out had they tried to go ahead with it. Who knows what other shenigans the undercover police did. Nothing they were involved with should have been allowed to be presented in court though.


Don't be silly. How is any of that the same as rape and murder? It sold drugs only and none of the other stuff. Do you think people should be arrested for selling cigarettes and alcohol? Are you a criminal if you've taken those substances? Are people who sell cigarettes and alcohol criminals too?


Ross was actually the first person to sell drugs on the platform, but it was just magic mushrooms to try get people using the site as a drugs marketplace.

There's a reason why you can't self-mod in meta and hence why local rules also don't apply here. Reports in Meta to censor people based on their own rules will either be ignored or marked bad.

The Mi 10 doesn't even have a SD card slot, does it?

Have they genuinely used your picture without permission or is it an ICO you no longer want to be affiliated with for whatever reason?

I haven't handled them, but it's always been once per 24 hours. I think they've been incorrectly marked as bad though to be honest. 

Staff don't moderate scams but not sure why you sent money to a one post newbie without escrow. He seems to offer it at least:

It's not really. They're free to post; it just wont show up publicly until they're accepted and it should be done pretty fast. If they're not a bot then they won't even notice (and bots won't notice either  ).

I don't think it would be an issue and you can always hire one or two more staff to deal with it. Probably half of the new sign-ups are bots which we have to handle anyway and most reports, especially the ones patrollers can handle, get done so pretty fast.

Theymos isn't going to do anything that is this restrictive. One thing I suggested in the past is that all new users first post needs to be accepted by a mod first before it goes public and they're essentially shadow-banned until they are approved (or not). At least this would put a stop to all the obvious spam bots.

Or just encrypt your messages which should be if you're worried about anyone else reading them PMs or emails.

They're bots. They edit the posts shortly after to include a load of SEO spam.


I was surprised by that too when I saw it on the Announcements section, though it could have been cyrus (unless theymos mentioned it somewhere).

If you're caught plagiarising then you will be permenantly banned and text spinning is even worse because you obviously know you're doing something wrong and are actively trying to hide it.

Half of the threads in there should be locked or trashed.


There is no specific criteria, but if a thread is especially worthless it could be trashed, but most would be locked, especially if there's at least somewhat half decent discussion taken place in there.


Campaigns complaining is irrelevant, but most probably don't want or intend people to post in those sorts of shit threads anyway but that's the consequence of asking or requiring users to post in the Gambling section and not doing too much about quality.

I brought the issue of this up in the staff board back in late 2017:



Most of us agreed that it should be locked via the poll I did:


At the very least we should stipulate what counts as a notable Press hit as otherwise people will continue to post anything in there. I still think the board has served it's purpose though.

Well, the tray has slots. The shared one looks like this:



Whilst a dedicated one looks like this:



As far as I'm aware you can't take calls on both sims at the same time but both numbers are active and can both receive calls and texts. Much better than carrying two phones around and I'm not that popular as to get a lot of calls so it's not a big deal.

So minerjones now leaves negative feedback for not leaving a source and yet fails to provide a source on both occasions?  Ok then.


You're still butthurt? Thought you would have moved on by now. And don't be a hypocrite like timelord:



MinerJones is attempting to extort staff to get his own way with negative feedback. You think that's trustworthy behaviour and something people should just ignore?
