It's pretty obvious you don't actually read this board if you think this is about OP's reserving the first post for updates. Before this, literally every post on the first page of new threads was 'reserved' or 'post for sale, pools contact me', and half the posts on the following pages. I even covered OPs reserving for updates on the last page, and said it was ok.

Yep, spam.

This, not long ago it would have been 1%.

People still use MtGox? Geesh, some never learn.

Wow, Matthew never ceases to amaze me, he knows full well donations aren't used for mod payments, I used to like him but seeing him lie over and over again is sad.

Can't be Phin, no goats.

Sure it can


Whether it should is another question.

Look at the dates on the replies, it's the first time it's been bumped since the new rule.

Yeah, you can login, but that's it.

Got em, thanks.

Just another spammer.

Haven't heard anything, but I doubt it, I don't see a reason to. There's still spammers but it's a lot easier to identify to source of the problem without so much clutter and deal with it. 

A more accurate analogy would be a nightclub, with about 100 people all dancing, talking, having a good time, everything is cool. Then about 500 dudes show up pushing their way around, interrupting conversations, yelling at everyone to try their samples. Club owner gets pissed and tells them to take it outside. They can still do it, just not inside the club. Problem solved.

I've banned several lately, banned another just yesterday.

You were spamming and bumping a bunch of threads, even one that was a week old with no replies, about an update. I deleted a couple to remind you that we are watching and that spam isn't kosher. No problem, you got a little overenthusiastic, it happens. Then you logged on your 1 post sockpuppet to bump the exact same thread that I had just deleted your reply from. Can't take a hint?

I do appreciate you confirming this was your sockpuppet though. I mean, I knew already but always nice to get confirmation. A dev that bumps his own threads with fake compliments. 

BTC giveaways are allowed. Most are in games and rounds, along with the other spammy "post here for x" type posts. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=71.0

And before anyone complains about unfairness, yes there is a huge difference between having a child board for giveaways of bitcoin, which this forum was created for and is dedicated to, and making a child board for giveaways of 600+ and counting coins.

I just wish people would start posting in the right section, add sub forums but most don't use them unless it gets moved there.

Got em, thanks.
