I think the point was that people don't mine Bitcoins with GPU/CPU anymore, and people posting in the old hardware section, almost 100% of the time, should be posting in the Alt Currencies mining section instead.
Probably. But please remember that for most of us asicless youngsters who are only interested in Bitcoin, the only way to 'mine bitcoins' is with our gpu's on sites like scyptguild, which milk the altcoins and auto-convert them. Must we be relegated to the 'other side'? people would post a second, a third, a 4th, 5th, 6th new thread on a slightly different topic of Antminer S1s for example Should they not be posted in mining support forum? If you aren't mining bitcoins, you shouldn't be posting in bitcoin mining for support, that's silly. I know the altcoin folks aren't helpful but that isn't our fault. |

Probably for plausible deniability. "Oh even my forum account was hacked, no telling when that happened." Would explain why he just logged on, made a few posts to get noticed, then just logged off.
Scumbag doing scumbag things.

My dream car is a Nissan GTR.
Imagine owning lambos and ferraris in a dragrace with a 2-3x cheaper car.
3.2s from 0-100km/h
6-7s from 0-200km/h
daaamn son, now who wants to send me 300 btc to buy one?
Pfft. 2012 Ducati 848 EVO Corse SE 0-60 mph 2.9 Quarter Mile 10.7 lets race that bike vs Nissan GT-R BoostLogic Godzilla edit~ even a nissan juke can destroy that bike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeCZe04p5V4Question was what's your favorite, not the most expensive or fastest in a straight line with slicks  . I prefer street legal personally. An 848cc certainly wouldn't be my first choice for drag racing either, but that's for another thread. |

Thanks for this. Was also considering if I'd posted a thread while blackout drunk. Apparently I dressed up as a ckolivas and did it.
It puts the lotion on it's skin or it gets the hose again? |

Yeah I've noticed, doesn't seem like the same guy. Looks like he's just trolling or trying to stir up drama.
Also weird it's at the same time as the cleanup in the NeoBee thread, wonder if he's related to it somehow.

Correlation does not equal causation. If I post that Area 51 is real, and there is a government coverup, start trolling/spamming over it, then get banned, I'm pretty sure there would be at least a dozen people who would be convinced I was banned because I was trying to expose the truth.
It's like this: Shills and lunatics singing Danny's praises are not considered spam, no matter how asinine their comments get. Those who try to warn the rubes in Neo thread are called trolls and spammers, their posts are deleted, and finally they are eventually banned. This astroturfing makes the scam appear credible to the suckers. So yeah, you are responsible for people getting taken by Danny. Through malice or plain incompetence, but you are not without guilt. I would prove you wrong, but I don't really care what you think. When I'm laying on my deathbed one of my regrets will not be "I wish I spent more time proving random dude #302867 on the internet wrong". Which is why I don't participate in these sorts of threads anymore, or if I do it's just a post or two to make a point. The trolls are doing harm by hiding real accusations beneath tons of garbage that people won't bother to sift through. But think what you want, I don't care. Though there is this. But seriously, I deleted about as many of the supporter's posts as I did of the detractor's.
Also for the record, it isn't a permaban. |

slow down buddy, it only took 3 years for alt coin subsections
I suspect this account was sold. TF has another style of writing. Was just thinking the same thing. |

Break the rules, you get banned.
Yes. Perfect! except that, in the OP, i point to an user that has broken the rules at least 18 times in less than a week, and he's still walking around. No he's not. |

If nothing else, you could create a thread about it not being you with proof, and leave feedback with the link to it in references.

Yeah that would be services.

Is it the original post of the topic? Those can't be deleted.

Sorry but I think this is realy poor work, I would not say anything unless I knew the in's and out's or what was being proposed
...Also, I have never heard of a "default trust list" lol where is it? can I see it?
 If you don't know what default trust is how can you understand how it works? For some reason you have melded two different statements together, Let me explain, I always thought the trust rating was between members, I understood this and that is what I like, I did not, However, Knew that the forum had it's own trust based settings, I did not know that if you delete all the members you personally add, you will obtain a trust rating based on the forum. Sometimes I write here what I would say to someone who knows me, Sorry for the confusion.  I wasn't trying to meld them together, just highlighting what I was questioning specifically and put the ellipses there to denote removed content. nutjob ramblings
Would you go away, this thread is about BFL and their attempts at gaming the trust system, all you're gonna do is derail it and kill the thread. |

Yes. Trust rating is broken. It should have only trade deals! But everyone leaves only their comments, although they did not make real trades.
The problem with not allowing people to post feedback unless they have traded, is that in order to give someone negative feedback, you would have to be scammed first. The goal is to prevent the scams in the first place not to just stop it from happening again. If I see someone trying to pull off a scam, should I have to let myself get scammed first so I can warn everyone else? No. I should responsibly disclose why I think they are scamming, and allow people to judge for themselves the validity of my claim based on the evidence I provide. If you did something that makes you look untrustworthy, such as selling your trust to another, anyone is more than entitled to give you negative trust and to point that out. Prevent?? TradeFortes had +500 trust rating and he scammed many people! Every scammer has positive trust before he deceives people. You can not prevent it! Nothing will stop long cons short of 100% bonding insurance or something. Doesn't mean we can't try. So leaving negative trust for a new miners is trade deal?
You sir have no ethics.
I'm just pointing out that the trust system is not working. At least this issue is already noticed, and maybe it makes theymos reforms trust rating. In any case, I'll remove my trust feedbacks(which are not a description real trades) when this contest is over. Sure pal, whatever lets you sleep at night knowing you sold out. Kind of odd you didn't care about it "not working" until you got a chance at a free miner though. |

Edit: Look at the last one... "Bribes people for good trust ratings" from a 4 post newbie. Not only does it not make any sense and is highly contradictory, but someone with such low activity/a throw away account that's not posted in 6 weeks shouldn't be able to participate in the trust system.
Technically speaking his opinion (although I do agree it is highly contradictory) has as much weight as your opinion considering that to a general layperson who knows neither of you it is hard to choose which is deemed trustworthy. This is the reason that although they are allowed to create trust ratings they are not on the DefaultTrust list as they are not deemed to be trustworthy by the mods on this site. Sure it is open to revenge attacks - but a moderated trust system is completely worthless as it simply propagates the views of a few people. The way it is set up is that you can create your own trust list and hence only 'trust' people you actually feel you can 'trust'. Agree completely, even though I would likely be one of those few. No the current system isn't perfect, but going with a moderated system is far worse. Ideally the forum itself wouldn't need moderators, but it is a necessary evil. |

I believe that would require really foundational source code changes and would cause a fork, meaning it would become a different blockchain...it would no longer be bitcoin.
This is correct, the people running that code would have essentially created an altcoin that would be ignored by the bitcoin network. |

I don't have any special way of contacting him. I don't know anything about his current status.
No Bitcoin BTCatsignal?  How did you request he send the forums funds back before? Just PM or email? Email. And has he emailed John again asking what's going on? He seemed to come back pretty quickly the last time he did. Has anyone else? Seems like most are just waiting for someone else to do something. |
