Temp banned all of them. If this thread is only for banning ICO pumping accounts, I apologize in advance and the moderator can delete this post. But, do people actually get banned for breaking the forum rules ? I am reporting people left and right in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1438371 . You can literally report every second post, and I do, because everyone is just posting their ref links and scam in general. It's always the same people doing it and some newbie accounts of course. I have reported users dozen times, but they still post their ref links there every day. So whats the point of reporting them, if nothing ever happens (e.g. ban) ? They do. Just make sure to indicate that it's not their first time doing so in the report as some moderators sometimes forget to check the post history.

Apologies for the off topic, I report mostly posts, can I report profiles if I see something suspicious and how? It would be helpful if we get a "report Profile" button, it may reduce the account farming.
Not really. Starting a thread in Meta or PMing one of the global mods and / or admins is the only way to report a user rather than his post or PM AFAIK.

What's the forums policy on posts that are quoting a message which has been deleted? For example, when reporting posts and they have been deleted, occasionally someone has already quoted that message and replied. The response may be constructive and isn't a reportable offense on it's own.
I see this occasionally in the altcoin section and have never known what to do so have left it.
If the post is substantial (as in more than a few lines and is actually something new / not rehashing old ideas / arguments / content / etc.) and doesn't rely on the deleted post (e.g. a rebuttal, using it as context, etc.), it can stay. In most cases, I delete any discussion stemming from a deleted post.
For anyone wondering: going to add (and change a few) FAQ questions on the Merit system once everything cools down and theymos stops adding additional features to it.

Early observations are that the topic starter is receiving several merits, whilst any thought out responses aren't receiving any not including this thread. I generally like the idea of this and supported it when it was first suggested.
Topic starters in general have an inherent advantage since that's usually the first post users see and in the case of ANN-like threads, the post they primarily come for. See reddit's frontpage for examples. Not much we can do about it aside from leading by example (whoops ).

I was poor and I will be poor. this site was my hope. I'm crying . Merit killed me.
This forum isn't a sweatshop - churning out lackluster crap should not be rewarded. If you do nothing but pollute this forum with spam, you shouldn't get paid for doing so. Otherwise, if you happen to contribute good content to the site, you'll do fine.

He was singled out by gangsters who have competing altcoin projects because they didn’t like his analysis which pointed out the flaws in their projects. Let’s see if he attempts to ban those who make criticisms of his project or if he addresses criticisms rationally and factually, admitting any lapses or errors. And singled out by some of the mods who don’t like a person who is confident. Also he was attempting to cross-link from the numerous duplicate threads on similar topics, in order to help readers gain some coherency of issues. The link above to Meta contains all the details for any readers who want to judge for themselves. Reviewing the link to Meta above, you were offended by his very profitable analysis about SegWit, which is presumably why you started attacking him personally (rather than debating the facts about SegWit, BCH, etc). You’re focused on his personality traits (and frankly picking on a man who was incredibly ill with Tuberculosis and MRI-confirmed cysts all over his liver, spleen, and kidney causing delirium and massive fatigue and so I hope you’re proud of your statements about his lack of productivity), not on his technical arguments and capabilities. I hope that works out as well for you, as his capabilities have worked out for him. The proof is in the pudding Sir. (note as for the picking on a man who he was gravely ill, then telling him “despite the fact he's a grown man responsible for his own actions”, that’s not very masculine. If you’re really AnonyMint’s elder, then you shouldn’t be talking smack, because much elder than him is when men decline significantly in all athletic metrics. I mean you don’t see Lebron James talking smack and then not showing up face-to-face to test his masculinity. It’s analogous to not being very masculine to pick on crippled kids instead of other men who are at your competitive level. IOW, grow up and stop the feminine bitching/trolling from behind the safety of the Internet. As @r0ach explained, that is what females do is run away and hide while the men fight to death to see which man can go impregnate her. Men talk for analyzing and to do important actions.) The forum has some “know-it-alls” who are flippantly offended by expertise, without first doing their own research to confirm their often erroneous, presumptuous flippant judgments. And gangsters who for example use a person’s chronic illness(es) to attack a person’s reputation, expertise, and skill level. Whatever. In any case, the point remains there will be no direct communication here because of that outcome. Let it rest, can’t you? If we could, we would close this thread, because its underhanded to ban someone then continue a derogatory thread where he can no longer defend himself. AnonyMint is not the victim. He is the victor. I’m just responding to @d5000 about why there will not be official updates on this subforum where a certain mod runs the show. And congratulations for yet again managing to destroy productivity by inciting a necessarily long-winded, detailed rebuttal. You’re so expert at that. Which is yet another reason to not have official communications here where the moderation and curation features are not sufficiently sophisticated and decentralized (i.e. a self-moderated thread is not objective, but an unmoderated thread has no curation, and that is why AnonyMint proposed a better alternative in Meta which he is now implementing). In a decentralized moderation/curation paradigm, I would simply mark your uselessly inflammatory/truculent post as unproductive and then everyone that trusts my curation decisions would not by default see your post. They could still turn off the filter if they wanted to see all the noise and check to make sure they still trust my curation decisions. And no one would be required to choose me as their curation filter. And then the math/algorithm for making those choices automatic. There are 100s of more good ideas like that in AnonyMint’s brain. Lol. After reading some of "your' posts it's clear you're trying to avoid your ban again. Good luck that with. I already banned his new alt for repeated ban evasion. Despite the fact that on multiple occasions he has stated that he will never ever post on this wretched forum again, he continues to create new accounts, attempting to circumvent his ban while spitting out long winded, masturbatory rants. He's so addicted to attention that can't hold back.
If you're reading anonymint, how about you stop deepthroating yourself so hard and stick to what you promised - never coming back here again and working on your own projects.
