There is no voting, this isn't a democracy. Banning someone from a private website isn't censorship, that's ridiculous and shows you don't truly understand what censorship and freedom of speech mean. It's a privately owned forum, and theymos is exercising his right as property owner/administrator to manage as he sees fit. If you disagree, you are free to leave. You are not free to try and take the property owner's rights away on a whim just because you disagree with something he did. 

Actually I'm just going to stop here and quote DeathandTaxes here, he said it perfectly. Edit: Actually you were a part of this conversation about another troll who was banned, I guess you just like infringing on the rights of others whenever you disagree with them. Nice, you should get a job in government work. 


Bolded the important part, that's why banning someone isn't censorship. I don't know how much more simpler it can be made. The only valid point I've seen made is that there are others who should be banned, but that's hardly new. Unbanning Matthew doesn't seem like the best solution to that particular problem.

He's far too self centered to not be reading it daily.

And I'm sure he's laughing his ass off that you guys still buy his bullshit after all he's done.  Y'all getting trolled and don't even know it. Amazes me how dumb smart people can be when you press the right buttons.

Somebody sounds mad.

Same as now, except that maybe someone might post something they wouldn't otherwise because of it.

What does legal tender have to do with it?

Gotta do what you gotta do!

Both stanlym and finkle are new members, and almost all their posts are talking about how totally legit this website is. I'd be wary if you plan on using it.

Yes.

Banned, thanks.

Kinda picky for a beggar aren't you?

Click the button.

This, just ignore it. If it becomes a problem contact theymos or john and they can check it out.

Looks cool, might try it out, send me a pass. Address in your sig current?

I did that once, confused me for a minute or two.

Lot faster now, for me anyway.

Games and Rounds fits the best for threads like that. They're basically paying people to spam/bump their threads and advertise.

Other actions can trigger it, such as logging in. Not sure what else would do it but it isn't just posting.

Yeah report those, we ban them when we see it. I banned him earlier.

Report them, they're phishers.

When looking at a user's feedback you will probably find yourself giving more weight to some people's feedback more than others. That's the people who should be on your trust list, because that's what it does. Default is a good start if you don't know anyone and don't have any trades. It can help point out scammers at the very least. Just because someone is on your trust list, or anyone's, doesn't mean you should trust them implicitly (my default recommendation is trust nobody  ), just that you value their feedback more than others.
