Trolling = everything you'd rather sweep under the rug?

$2+ MILLION in BTC laundered through a shell company, for an unfinished, non-functional forum is a non-issue?



Is it an issue for you? Was it your money? Have you ever donated to the forum?  Grin
But that's not really trolling, is it?  I don't have any stake here, so I'm just playing devil's advocate.  The above, if true, definitely sounds like a concern for people who do business on this forum.  Yeah, I'd say that.

I think he was trolling, not only regarding that post but about all his 'activity' here.

So "trolling" is basically "I don't like what he's saying, he must have ulterior motives"?
Because of that, it's perfectly reasonable to archive a month+ thread, and change a 14-day ban to a permaban?
To quote minifrij, "Now where did I put my tinfoil hat..."

No, my sig spamming friend, accounts get banned to shut them up and make the issue disappear.
Duh.
Now where did I put my tinfoil hat...

I expect you were seen as trolling due to your unwillingness to accept when you were given valid explanations as to why theymos spent the money on what he did, and gave vague explanations as to what you were talking about expecting others to understand when they questioned what you meant.
You were probably nuked due to ban evasion, though I'm not sure that this is too fair. In the means of as little censorship as possible I think the thread should have stayed up regardless. Also am I wrong or have previous ban evaders not been nuked (E.G karlb187), simply had their new accounts banned in addition to their old ones?

Let's put off looking for your tinfoil hat for a bit. Let's start with a hypothetical:

1. I'm paying a company 2+ million dollars to build me a car, from scratch.
2. I'm doing this because I have nebulous, unstated issues with production cars.
3. Caveat: The  company I've commissioned has never engineered a car. Though it has manufactured a mud pie, so no reason to assume it couldn't make a great car.
4. Caveat: I never met anyone from said company in person.
5. Caveat: I've never defined the terms of a contract, leaving it open-ended, with no penalty clauses for late/noncompletion.

6. Caveat: Production cars are free and open-source. For instance, here.


So now you know how I spent 2 (and counting, Slackage is still getting paid) million dollars.
And then Anon comes and tells you I didn't really do any of that, or, rather, I sort'a did, but not for the stated reasons.
Wat do?
