Wow, moderation is getting insane.

Just noticed I got shadow banned for a constructive post in the https://hashtalk.org/topic/18215/zenpool-the-world-s-most-profitable-pool thread.

Wondering how this was against the rules or could even be perceived as being non constructive?

Attention ALL community members here on BitcoinTalk.org

As of today, November 10th, 2014, GAW/Zen has reportedly sought the assistance of a Los Angeles based law firm to issue cease and desist communications to members of THIS public forum, not theirs, in what appears to be an attempt to censor those who have legitimate and factual claims against the alleged less-than ethical business processes and moral standing of GAW/Zen, its "CEO", and the various BDA’s they use.

Irrespective of numerous peoples’ opinions published here and elsewhere on the Internet regarding GAW/Zen continually proving their fundamental M.O. is that of an elaborate SCAM in every sense of the word, this law firm has apparently taken it upon itself to either ignore the harm/losses dozens if not hundreds of previous GAW/Zen customers have been forced to endure or feel it is more appropriate to threaten legal action against those exercising their Constitutional rights rather than facilitating a thorough due-diligence investigation of their own client.

Although I too have received a communication simply titled “Cease and Desist Letter” with a .pdf attachment from this law firm to one of my business email addresses, I refuse to open any such attachments or speculate on what the .pdf specifically says, if anything, as I do not know firsthand who the sender is or if the attachment contains anything potentially damaging to my system or network. Regardless, I would like to invite anyone else who is a US citizen and has also received any communication directly from GAW/Zen, any of their DBA’s, or this (or any other) law firm to contact my Mining Advocates Organization with their story at legal@miningadvocates.org in preparation of the potential establishment of our own legal offensive to ensure this type of conduct by what can be seen as a questionable business, its "CEO", and/or a retained yet misguided law firm is not allowed to overtake the protections guaranteed to us by the United States Constitution and its amended Bill of Rights in addition to Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

Thank you,

The account is only "suspended" from twitter and not banned. What I think happened is a lot of people reported you kind of like a shadowban and twitter will review it. I do not think they will ban your account. I would bet he tells his cult to report you. Your account will also get suspended if a lot of people report it as a account that was hacked and or compromised (I think thats what he did). Twitter wil investigation and if you want to speed up the process just fill this form out

Its funny to see all of this happen, him trying to control everything...

Just letting you know he has people monitoring all these forums... Was told that by him when I sent a PM to get un-banned from hashtalk.. What goes through my mind is WHY? Why should he care about these chats? only someone hiding something would worry.. It just seems like a big waste of resources and time..

I think we can see why he didn't like it

Is there a twitter policy against four letter words? That's about the only thing I could imagine being a problem.

Can't see why you got suspended.

How fucking absurd is that? You can't just guess that you have a product that will ROI in a certain time-frame. You have NO idea what the price of any coin will be. What is he going to charge more or less for the same exact thing and just artificially change its daily returns to fit the chosen ROI time-frame?

Good article. Wonder how it slipped past the banning hammer there. I captured it as well.

The questions I still have and the reason I'm out of this for now has to do with centralization and acceptance.

If GAW controls/centralizes this then it goes against principles that most bitcoin miners/holders should value.

Having even one retailer accept this at launch would probably fit the claim that this will have more acceptance than any other coin at launch. I don't doubt that he will be able to find someone to accept it at launch, but getting someone big in that boat to share in the risk is hard to believe. The timeline is too short to convince any really big player.

Well who needs pesky details when the overwhelming concern is "how many HP will I have by round 2".
