It appears that they tried to fix the issue and actually made it worse.
What’s so bad about it?, if I may ask I would ask you via PM or another thread, but you are not supposed to take part in other discussions outside this thread. Tongue

Indeed. Unsure if I'm still 'banned' though ...

My attention was drawn to this issue because of the number of bpip .org - BitcoinTalk Public Information Project / LoyceV ( loyce .club ) members currently running the chipmixer signature campaign !

BTW, to my knowledge, no "members" of BPIP wear a chipmixer signature.

Nonetheless, it sounds like you had a run in with Terry Tate... the bitcointalk linebacker.  Cheesy

1. Indeed. However, having created this new mobile account I don't recall being made aware of any of the forum rules or even being asked to read them !

That's just a common practice, if you create an account somewhere, be it an online discussion forum, an email account, fb, whatever, and you start messaging a lot of strangers out of the blue trying to sell them something, even an idea, it won't take long before you find yourself rate limited or banned.

Clearly not trying to sell anyone anything.

I was imparting free information and knowledge which I though might be of relevance and interest to a select few individuals (by way of Private Message).

Other points accepted for the main part.

Ignorantia juris non excusat ("ignorance of the law excuses not") or ignorantia legis neminem excusat ("ignorance of law excuses no one") etc.,

I trust that their is no other vilification (assumed or otherwise) in respect of my account(s) ?

Have a great day now!

This forum is a community like any other, it's a simple fact about any group or organisation that operates in the public. Times change and so does what can be seen as acceptable. There are rules BitcoinFX is aware of them now. It's a shitty way to learn, when you were acting without malice and inline with what you thought was acceptable. It is however the responsibility of anyone to be sure they are aware of the rules anywhere they frequent.

I did laugh at the part about not having been told to read the rules after they had been created. Makes me think of a terms of service agreement when they update it. Any service generally gets you at login time or something similar forcing you to acknowledge you have read the rules/guidelines. I never thought of it before as they were established long before I got here, but wouldn't it have made sense back then to have mass PM'd the forums user base.

Another Rule you should follow.

I see you're posting outside of Meta. You shouldn't pm anyone or post outside meta if one of your accounts is banned.


25. Ban evasion (using or creating accounts while one of your accounts is banned) is not allowed.


Already covered that one ... don't people read anything any more ... ?

P.S. I've also been informed that I'm not supposed to 'talk' outside of this ban appeal topic (if that's what it is classified as) so aside from my other two posts made using this mobile account - I shall conform to the rules.

Sorry bitcointalk.org, I strongly object to limitations being placed on ones free speech or in ones ability to freely start a dialogue with others.
No 'bulk' PM's were sent, only individual personal and private messages, including unique keys. Indefinite days
Bulk PMs aren't the only thing that's not allowed:
29. Sending unsolicited PMs, including but not limited to advertising and flood, is not allowed.
There are thousands of shitcoins, now imagine others would send PMs to users with "personal" codes and worthless giveaways too. The rules are there to prevent that.

What? Is he mass PM'ing those free GapCoins? I thought I was special  Tongue
I knew I wasn't special when I checked the value of the free coins: $0.0notmuch. I was surprised though, to see a veteran user break forum rules like that.

I think you got special treatment alreasy as an old user, because the PM was months ago. So maybe reports have been piling up, until a Mod thought it's enough.

The value of Gapcoin is not my concern, it's a Math alt. coin (based on BTC) which does useful PoW (searching for prime gaps of actual Merit) - I'm much more interested in it for that reason alone.

Bitcoin once had no value and some might say we are all only still here because of early adopters such as myself. *Shrugs*

Your points are taken on board though. Like I said, I haven't really needed to pay much attention to the new forum 'rules' before now.

Also, I don't remember being required to read them, after you wrote them ...
7  Other / Meta / Re: Sorry BitcoinFX, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on: September 22, 2019, 12:59:06 PM
You sent over 100 PMs with the same format: clear unsolicited bulk PMs. 4 people reported it, making it unwanted & unsolicited bulk PMs = spam. Most others would've been banned much longer.

My bad. However, ...

Surely by definition, all PM's are unsolicited.

The definition of 'bulk' is multiple recipients of the same message at once and on mass, which is not what I did either.

Still, your forum, your rules.

This looks like a wise advice to avoid the same in future. Wink

Oh, yes indeed.

Perhaps I will self in force a 60 day or lifetime ban upon myself, just for the lulz.

Maybe you should create an Airdrop thread instead of sending PM's... just sayin.

Indeed. Sadly, no more 'airdrops', I think I'll keep it.

Oh, this is over the Gapcoin thing?

Just know it wasn't me who reported you. I was grateful that an oldtimer like yourself wanted to share something with me about a coin they found interesting.

I could never download the whole blockchain, it was moving way too slow, but I do appreciate the offer for... what was it? 314 free Gapcoins?

In any case, I of course support your unbanning.

If the decision won't be reversed, just keep in mind that 30 days is a relatively short period compared to the timeframe of how long you'be been here.

I appreciate your insights into the Satoshi-era forum, your comments in the BSV Scam thread, and your unique brand of humor. Hope you'll remember to come back and aren't too offput by this minor ordeal.

Most probably ...

Thanks nutildah for your support!

Wow, UID=30 banned for 30 days  Tongue

If you are wrongly banned, then some MODs can see into this and can help. But, just because you were banned for a few days, you don't have to say shit about the forum. Just because you were here since 2010, doesn't make you any different than the others.

Understand that when I joined this forum it didn't really have any rules. Now it clearly does. Reads the small print ...


The moral of the bitcointalk.org story (so far) is - do not help others or be overly generous - it will largely be a waste of your own time and 'money' ? I have many guises ...

Notes to our past, present and future selves;

1. Never send out free gifts that one cannot afford to give. They will likely be ungratefully received ?

2. Do not work on free software for free ?

3. Freedom is not free.

4. The future is a lie (well, mostly) ?

...

You to (as I) are becoming increasingly disenfranchised and heavily misrepresented.

I now consider "moving on to other things" ...

...

Meta is mostly pointless ?

Seriously, take a step back, perhaps ask yourselves what is an inner cabal of list makers, bpip, merit, trust and overzealous banning really achieving ? Are some of you choosing 'fascism' over individual rights and freedoms ?

...

Whilst this "... Spaghetti Incident?" has highlighted to me a need to perhaps be more serious once again with my contributions here (if continuing at all), the above is not taken lightheartedly.

I, BitcoinFX am the originator of my bitcointalk.org account. My account has never been compromised.
