I don't really understand why you deleted the previous user's post when he offered an easy and free solution for you to use. However, if you really want to pay someone to do this for you I can probably complete this job quickly.

Don't count out some of the greedy people on this forum.
E:
Point proven.

As for the spamming, the same has happened before with the user Chozin (Archive), and it will probably happen again in the future. I just don't understand why people can't take good care of their accounts and security. It isn't a hard thing to do at all.

This would likely work somewhat, however would throw some false-positives for anyone with Port 80 on their network open (E.G running a web server, using a public WiFi network and other things all may have Port 80 open), not to mention this port can simply be remapped if needed meaning attackers can bypass this anyway. You can even check if it is open on your network here, if it is this script will block you.

OpenVPN automatically uses Port 80, however this can be remapped to a different Port as the page describes allowing it to pass. My AWS VPS currently has Port 80 closed, meaning this script would let me pass using it.

It's not the signatures that are the problem, it's the useless bullshit that people post to exploit the reward given by these signatures.

The question is, is that traffic the sort that we want on the forum? Do we really want a mindless bunch of people - not reading threads and spamming the forum - to come here just to satisfy their own greed for some Bitcoin? IMO, the answer is an easy and definite no.
The traffic that signature campaigns bring is the traffic that want's to exploit them for all that they're worth (3/4 of the time). These are not quality members of the forum, and not people we want to be attracting.

Because retards that spam one sentence posts (due to their signature campaigns) do nothing but bother the people here for learning/community discussion. They are a much bigger problem currently than the people complaining about signature campaigns.

Why should other people move from where they enjoy being just so people can take advantage of it (with a negative effect)?
Tell you what, if you move out of your house and let me use it as my personal trash can then I will never complain about signature spammers again. Fair deal?

What a useless addition to your post.

Dooglus is the root of all evil, have you not heard? He finds vulnerabilities in hacks competitors sites to help them destroy them for his personal gain.

QS, when is the sequel of this thread being posted? Surely it doesn't take 2 months to compile all of the 'proof' that you already have into another thread.

Bitcoin to Paypal alone is usually pretty shady, since there is a Scam Accusation it has been added to the list. Thanks.

Added to the list, though that is obviously too good to be true.
You can maybe contact CoinPayment's Help and Support and see if they can help you. Otherwise, I am not sure. Thanks.

Also, would the two of you mind editing your posts?

His last post on the Drakrmaster account was on the 27^th, which is when I'm guessing he was banned. Since the post he made claiming the giveaway for the second time was made on the 25^th, it wouldn't be ban evasion.

Also not sure why OP removed his second post. Good thing I still had it open on my phone.

You were banned for making low effort posts with the intention of getting paid for them. You don't get a warning for this, as spamming is something that is unnacceptable.

Once you are unbanned, put effort into your posts (meaning they are not all shitty one liners) and younwill likely be allowed to carry on your business. Otherwise, your next ban will be permanent.

Also, off topic, but it's a bit shitty of you to claim the Primedice giveaway twice, isn't it?

You will have to tell us the name of your old account if you want information about it. If you post your ban message here it would work.

Since your ban is temporary, the best way to fix it would be to wait out the ban duration. The staff have banned you for a reason, and probably won't remove it.

Since Electrum's seeds are made up of (AFAIK 2048) Dictionary words it would be possible to brute-force it, however it would probably take a while (and may not be worth it for a small amount of Bitcoin).
Do you remember the order of the 7 words that you know? If so, that would likely make it significantly faster (It would have to check 2048⁵ combinations rather than 2048¹²).

This is a minor issue, but the Stats page of an ad unit no longer shows decimal places (just flooring the values to 0 rather than showing 0.000# as I am expecting). I have tested this in both Chrome and Firefox and it appears to do the same thing.
After looking around this error seems to be somewhere around line 26,561 in the application-(...).js file on the page, and I believe a fix has been given here.

I would appreciate if this is looked into and fixed. Thanks.

The problem just seems to be that the element with the class "carousel-control right" inside your video player is over top of your payment element. The easiest way for you to fix this would be probably for you to change the CSS of the the 'carousel-control' elements to include this:
This will make the carousels 1/3rd of the size of the player and vertically centered (approximately). If you don't want to do that, you would probably have to fiddle with how the elements are placed on the page, since changing the z-index within didn't work (the payment element is within the player iframe, whereas the 'carousel-control' elements are outside).

There are a lot more problems with your website (The general layout of the buttons is sloppy, the site is not responsive to phone or tablet resolutions).

This implies that every coin has the same community behind it, which obviously isn't true.
Next to no Bitcoin/Litecoin fork has the community to sustain a full fledged forum of their own for a prolonged period of time. Therefore, the best solution for them would be a thread or two in the Alternate Currencies section. If a coin is becoming so demanding that it would require it's own board (on a forum which is essentially unrelated besides it being a crypto-currency), would it not make more sense for that coin's community to transfer to it's own forum, rather than stay on an otherwise unrelated existing forum?

As for this,
BitcoinTalk has survived previous to these alt-coins being created and used, I'm sure it can survive should said alt-coins move away.

This would require some extra PHP coding to be done properly. It would all be pretty simple stuff, but can be complicated to implement should you not know PHP/the FaucetBox script too well. The process of it would probably go something like this however:

User Presses Claim Button -> Script checks whether the Captcha has been solved correctly -> A CSRF token is created by the script to prevent abuse -> The script redirects to the Adf.ly page which redirects back to the claim page -> The page checks the HTTP_REFERRER to see if it is Adf.ly (However this is unreliable as HTTP headers can be changed manually) -> CSRF token is checked to be sure that the user did actually come from the original claim page (and perhaps checked against a timestamp to stop abuse) -> Faucet pays satoshi to user.

There are a lot of steps to doing something like this in order to make it all work nicely and secure. If you're not too confident at PHP I would recommend hiring someone to do the job for you or be prepared for your funds to be stolen if a bug is found. It would also be pretty annoying for users to have to deal with for users, so your rewards would probably have to be higher to compensate.

Added to the list, thanks for the report.

Do you have any proof that it was the admins that gave him the account back? I am very doubtful, as much higher ranked (and trusted) accounts have sat dormant for months after being hacked with no admin intervention. Why would the admins give attention to some untrusted Newbie account over others?

This is likely human error of some description; not admin intervention.

To report signature spammers so they can be banned.

Not at all. Seeing one line spam all over the forum is annoying at best, so it is reported here to help be stopped.

Signature Campaign managers should take care of it alone, it isn't the staff's responsibility to do their jobs for them. This thread was also made at a time when YoBit's campaign manager did nothing, therefore this thread was made to combat the spammers.

Does the income from this thread matter? Personally, I just want a cleaner forum where people can't make money spamming shit all over it.

I rephrase what you say in a real life scenario, I haven't posted anything unrelated or twisted your words in this thread.

And posting a ponzi where it isn't meant to be is charged by having the topic moved/deleted.
To try and make it completely clear, let me try to explain my scenario again. I'll even put the forum equivalent in italics for you.
A person drops a piece of trash on the street (a member posts about a HYIP scheme on the forum). If this person were to drop it randomly on the street (If this member were to post it outside of the Investor-Based Games Sub-board) they would be told to pick it up and move it (The post would be moved to the Investor-Based Games Sub-board (the rubbish bin)). If this person were to put their rubbish in the trash can (The member is to post it in the Investor-Based Games Sub-board) then no punishment would be given.
Let's say that there wasn't a trash can around (The Investor-Based Games Sub-board didn't exist) then everyone would probably throw their litter all over the ground (The forum would be spammed with HYIP scams).
Do you understand why the Investor-Based Games Sub-board exists yet (AKA why the forum 'endorses' Ponzis)?


Thanks for posting what we're all trying to say. Maybe you do understand.

Perhaps this thread isn't, however you clearly do not properly understand why the forum works how it does. Currently, it is obvious you are trying to run a smear campaign against the forum after you got negative consequences for your shady actions.

However, that is out of context. The quote "The government tolerates dropping litter on streets" sounds negative, until you learn that they tolerate it only if it is being dropped in a rubbish bin. Twisting people's words to try and stretch a valid point does not then make it the truth.

Personally I think this is a better quote, and I don't have to even take it out of context for it to be valid - "Bitcointalk User 'freedoge.co' condones pyramid scams". Perhaps you should promote that one a bit more; it would save you looking like even more of an ignorant idiot than you already do.

Let's say that someone posts how much they hate theymos and how they want him dead. If theymos doesn't ban them, does that mean that he likes them? Does that mean that theymos agrees them? (Hint: No)

Tolerating something (as in, creating a trash can for it to not litter the rest of the forum) != condoning it. I really don't see what you are having such a hard time understanding about this.

Nothing, as scams are not moderated (and hopefully never will be).
