Work of ART!

Yes, Sue was my original avatar before the mutant fish. She's my kind of gal. You just can't go wrong with Sue. Thanks again xhomerx10!! Smiley

I want to know more about this Sue gal.  I may be missing one of the secrets of a possibly more content existence, especially if I don't know about sue, beyond Johnny Cash having had written a song that had such resentment towards such name for a boy.

My personal favourite thread in the forum - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.461840
**Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion**

Regular posters there discuss the price movements, predictions, a bit of TA - Chart Analysis, lots of off topic & a generally friendly environment. There are a couple of trolls who drop by & everybody enjoys tearing them to pieces.

Drop by & check it out gentlemen.

Yes, but xhomerx10 made me a new hat, yesterday, and someone pushed ahead of me in line and swiped it.  Angry What sucks is that there are plenty to go around.



Edit: It appears the thief was persuaded to stop wearing my hat.  Smiley

I wanted to buy Bitcoin cash but i saw alot of negative comments here
i'm confused to buy or not

Which one? There are two main contenders.  This coin started out by being divisive, and they are now divisive among themselves. I'd recommend doing as much research as possible to see which of these hard forks matches your philosophy better.

Meh, in reality the queen is my half sister. I am the bastard son and was actually born before the queen, so I believe that she stole my birthrite. I've been wading in the sewers since birth. This is why I cried out that I am unappreciated. To make matters worse, one of the evil king's minions chastised me for not being generous enough. Much to my chagrin, since I'm giving them out as fast as I get them.

If I didn't know any better, I would say you made this post hoping to get merit.

I am sure most merit sources (not just Suchmooon) are annoyed by these types of posts.

I fell so unappreciated. My 1(or more) wouldn't have been good enough?  Huh  Kiss

Well, what V8 gave the negative rating was actually about a false allegation realr0ach made on a fellow member. I guess in your view, false allegations are ok as long as they aren't made on the hallowed trust comment page.

Just because I don't agree with a negative rating for it doesn't mean I condone it. For example I would consider a neutral trust rating with a reference for this perfectly acceptable. If the roles were reversed no one would give a shit, but some people are more equal than others.

Oh, sorry, I guess that makes my point totally erroneous.

Well V8 did change another one of his ratings to neutral. We will see if he takes your advisement to heart. However, given a recent comment realr0ach made which basically was trying to emasculate V8, I doubt it. Especially since realr0ach's attitude on woman is that they are all morally equivalent of prostitutes.

Yeah well, as I said the cost of being free to speak yourself is some times being subjected to ideas that offend you. You are free to click ignore, or walk away from the computer at any time. This need to control the speech of others frankly scares me more than all the insane views in the world being spoken freely.

When it comes to "free speech," some of what realr0ach comes up with is light years away from any "fine line." I'd sooner make it legal for someone to yell fire in a theater.  Cheesy

I have to ask then, all of this considered... what is wrong with using the ignore button?

Because someone is bound to quote him. Many community members have encouraged ignoring him. However, some are prone to peek or are new and have no idea what is about to transpire. Then someone sees a quoted post, attacking them, their wife, their sex, or their race, and we're off to the races. Or it could all start from a simple counterpoint to one of his more "sane" posts attacking BTC and devolve from there.

It sounds to me that this is just a consequence of everyone being free to speak, and the response is verging on obsessive levels of wanting to control the speech of others. Just because what he has to say is repugnant, annoys you, or you find it distracting is really not an excuse for all of this. If everyone is free to speak there will always be people saying things objectionable to you, and no matter what you say some one out there will find it objectionable. This is just human nature, the first amendment need not even come into the equation.

This place is crazy... like an old leaky boat in the cartoons where they keep patching holes with pieces of chewed gum and plugging fingers into a hole just for another to open up again. Just band-aids on top of band-aids while the system as a whole slowly loses its wheels one by one.

In this case I would suggest contacting the thread owner as it states in the screenshot...

      Since the current designated thread owner, inforfront, is not staff, all that will result in will be a few of the most offending posts getting deleted. Since infofront is not staff, no other accelerated action can be taken. Since infofront is a volunteer, many of the offending posts can persist for hours, days or overlooked. By that time, more likely than not, an argument has already ensued and the damage is done. Also, infofront cannot be too heavy handed in the deleting of posts. Otherwise bitching of infringing on "freedom of speech" ensues.
      I know the arrangement for this thread appears a little odd. What happened is that the original op of the thread became inactive. It ended up becoming a great deal of work for the staff to moderate, so theymos locked it. However, the thread is quite popular and members wanted the thread reopened. So theymos unlocked the thread and appointed a new thread owner.
     Overall, the thread is a bit lively. However, then realr0ach comes in and shits in the pool.

Darn, I was hoping for a hard fork. It would have been a small boost in my smerit reserve. (Although my source merit faucet is back on again.)

I don't see this user explicitly asking for trust ratings do you? They are asking for a review. This is not uncommon. Perhaps it could have been worded better and people are reading into it too much. Maybe he is actually fishing for positive ratings. Maybe he is an 8 story tall crustacean from the protozoic era. I doubt we will ever know for sure.

This frankly is the kind of thing that demonstrates to me this forum is full of a bunch of busybodies that have nothing better to do than interfere in the lives of others over the most inconsequential things they SUSPECT MIGHT be happening. This is all lots of fun until it is your turn to have the forum crawl up your ass just because some one is bored. Good thing for them there are no penalties for wrongly rating people who have no influence within this system... so win win.

     I thought discussions like this are what you are advocating for. I don't see that any DT member has given a neg rating to the OP or anyone else participating in that thread at this time.

You are right, I do want discussion before rating. Except you will note the distinct lack of a standard of evidence, substituted in its place is mere suspicion. Really even if he was up to what is suspected, how long do you think it would last before the people rating him would figure it out and notify everyone who rated him to remove them? My point is this is kind of a non-issue even if it was true.



    Most of us here are not lawyers. What lawyer is bitcointalk going to hire to write out a detailed explanation of standards of evidence for idiots? (It would probably be preferable to write it in multiple languages too.)After all, I see in another thread you chiming in on negative trust given by someone not even on DT1 or DT2. Therefore, all members would need the standards explained to them. Also, what measure are we going to take for those members that leave inappropriate trust feedback? In my case, I have three comments claiming that I spread doomsday virus, suck ass the best, and am an alt of yogg.
