Hey all mods,

Thank you so much for mantaining this forum and keeping safe from spam.
But before you ban some one you should warn user once so that user can rectify mistakes but if that user does next time then ban is perfect.

No stealing someone else's work and pretending it's your own doesn't deserve a second chance IMO

But if you will say, you can't do that due to huge users then you should leave this group because you are earning from this group so that's your job.

Sorry for above rude words...

No giving users a second chance is not part of our "job".  Our "job" is to enforce the rules as they currently exist.


Lets go to another side...

Do you know? all mods are also human being and will die. They are not GOD so why so much ego and giving sad so easily even not giving a second chance to others who are trying to earn some bucks by using this group for their life because no one can be reach by this earning?

I like where this is going, can I try?

Do you know? all bounty hunters are also human being and will die. They are not GOD so why so much ego and giving sad so easily even by posting whatever garbage they can to reach sig quota and to try and rank up, who are trying to earn some bucks by abusing this group for their life because no one can be reach by this earning?

If one person feels sad or cries for you then you are not good human being and that KARMA will follow you.

Grow a set mate and take responsibility for your own actions.  Learn to respect the forum and it's rules instead of treating it like a cow you milk daily...  If you're crying because of what someone said or did to you on an internet forum you are the problem and really need to look internally at why you're such a pussy.

Man  I spend 2 hours typing and you come along and get rid of my post ..And say off topic   NO your off topic my topics are about politics ..
So stick that in your pipe and smoke it..BYE   warning WHO GIVES A SHIT Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  YES FUCK YOU TOO..

You're posts were not deleted because they were off topic they were deleted because you were polluting multiple threads with sometimes 3 or 4 consecutive posts.  I asked you twice politely to use the edit button but you are essentially an unreasonable user that responded the way you did instead of just following the rules like everyone else.

The forum doesn't ban scammers but you want the forum to ban a user for calling you names and being a potty mouth?  

Thank fucking christ this forum allows me to choose my own words, unlike the vast majority of the rest of the shit hole that is the world wide web.



Most ya'll are telling this topic has already been discussed but what change has it bought? Fuck T-Man. Who gives a fuck what that twerp thinks. Most of you legendary fucks are complaining about how there are spam posts but what have you fucking done about it? Nothing.

Actually there are a lot of us that report posts, suggest ideas for improving the problem help newbies and are generally part of the community.  Some of them ban users and delete posts.

Some of them have been doing it for years.  Only the admins have the ability to make the changes, why they haven't well if you searched you would see theymos has commented on why the forum is in the state it's in.

Ok I have to comment on the new avatar...  I fucking love it dude!!!  I personally really identify users so much more with a unique avatar.  When scrolling posts I can quickly see a familiar avatar and can then make sure to read it!

I like the announcement thread, nicely done!  In my dealings with Hhampuz he has been a professional and gentleman.  If you need any of the services he offers I am sure he will take care of his clients.

Now get back to making coins would you bro!!!
729  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Request For Help From P&S Regulars on: August 12, 2018, 12:57:09 AM
I personally feel that religious topics should be in the politics & society section... for many people, religion is the basis for society

Religion causes many of the problems with politics & society

Religion is extremely relevant to this section

I would generally agree with these statements however I wouldn't cast it as an absolute.  I would rather look at it on a scale.  Some religious topics do not belong in this section IMO.  for example your thread that you PM'd me about was not about political implications it was an opinion poll for what is the best religion.  I did not see a lot of value in the thread being in this board, my options are delete, lock or move it.  I chose the one that didn't censor the topic, feel free to continue to discuss it!


If you think differently, then create a religious subforum and move ALL the religious topics to the same place...

That's not how it works dude, I don't get to create boards, I work within the system provided.  If either of us don't like it we can complain, deal with it or leave.

it appears completely arbitrary that you move half of the religious topics to off-topic and leave the other half in politics & society

It appears that way because it is and the arbitrary decision is left to me.  Again not all religious topics belong in this section IMO. I don't look at this subject in terms of absolutes.  The rules are subjective I did not receive instructions on what and how to specifically mod the section.  I apply the rules the best I can based on my interpretation of the rules.  If you believe I am not interpreting the correctly after we talk about it feel free to take it to meta!

It is funny you say half the religious topics have been moved to OT.  In reality I have moved dozens of threads in the last couple of weeks and I believe 1 of them was a religion opinion poll.  In fairness it may have been a couple of religious threads moved but they were shit topics I probably should have shit canned instead of moving but meh, point being it isn't anywhere near half.

It is also worth noting that as I mentioned I feel I have been extra lenient on the religious subjects.  I won't be moving every thread on this subject to OT it does as mentioned have a lot of society and political implications, but I also don't think I will leave all them anymore and will be making decisions on what to leave and what to move.

Thanks for the PM since I have responded here I won't bother with a reply.

Also I YELLED at the old lady for not making the bed properly and leaving the laundry basket in frame.  Seriously though the pics don't do it justice, it's all I had time to get ATM!

731  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Request For Help From P&S Regulars on: August 10, 2018, 12:40:19 PM
A friendly suggestion would be to treat threads which seem to have legitimate conversation going (e.g., paragraph or two points and counter-points with realistic quoting) differently than those which do not.  

~snip~

Another suggestion would be to have it clear who, exactly, locked the thread.  Even better would be a brief description of why.

That is generally the line I try to take on threads.  I freely admit I may make a mistake though, and if anyone thinks I have I don't mind a PM to discuss it!  I wish I could follow in depth every thread and post but I don't have the time for that, so I have to make a decision sometimes.  The thread in question seemed to be redundant repetitive arguments but if there is genuine back and forth I will unlock it and let the debate continue.  Indecently as I mentioned if it was the OP that locked the thread I will not unlock it (unless someone can show me a forum rule that says I have too!)

I used to tag the threads I locked with a little mods note, and your suggestion is a very reasonable one so I will start tagging threads I lock with a note indicating it was me!

Honestly dude, believe it or not, I am just some average Joe schmuck, I am not pushing an agenda, hidden or open.  I really really don't give a flying fuck what content/topics are discussed (provided they're on topic for starters).  The only thing I care about is following the forum rules and a lot of those are subjective!

I am hesitant to touch these threads and for the most part have left them to be on their own because of my personal Anti-Theist views (although I will happily delete individual redundant shitposts in these threads).   As I mentioned I feel there is a tremendous amount of redundancy in the religious threads but I haven't done anything with them so I don't look like I am pushing a personal agenda.  If anything I have been overly lenient on them on purpose.

Also as I mentioned I am still trying to figure out the direction of the sub.  What is the scale of society based topics that we allow?  I could go hard line and say all topics must have a political direction.  In such a case to me one religious group killing another would then fall into an off topic category here as the debate would largely be a "our book says were right and not all people of one religion are killing people" and not political so should be moved to OT.

I haven't taken the hard line approach yet because I feel there are some interesting topics that aren't specifically political but can have some political implications on a deeper level perhaps or that impact society globally (the SpaceX Mars thread comes to mind).  I don't want to also push these threads to OT because it doesn't specifically make mention of the politics in the OP.  I think there is a bunch of interesting threads that we would lose if I went hard line.  I'd like to keep those options for threads open.

I am considering opening a thread in meta to ask for comments on the direction of the board.  See if users what specific political discussion for each thread or does something as global as religion and humanity style issues belong under the society heading and thus appropriate.
732  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Request For Help From P&S Regulars on: August 10, 2018, 02:36:43 AM

Not really on topic, but kind of:

It is common for platforms to be taken over for purposes which are political in nature.  This occurs when the attacker has coordination and resources, and when the target is of high value.  This happened to Wikipedia over a decade ago, and it is now a joke to sophisticated internet users who know the history.

Would it surprise you to know that I get my directions on what posts and threads to moderate in the form of an anonymous briefcase dropped off at the end of my driveway with a burner phone and some Benjamin's?  I never thought much about it but the briefcase does seem to have a Wikipedia page in it every time (I use my lucky charms decoder ring to decipher the wiki page, don't know why they send me a phone).

I would hope that the moderator (of specifically the P&S board) would be aware of instances where a particular point of view is of political value to be promoted.  When a spirited discussion is occurring (vs. a bunch of one-liner 'virtue quiz' style posts) and especially when it is starting to go against what the original author might have had in mind and the author seems to lock the thread, I would hope that the moderator would take it upon themselves to unlock it.  The goal would be to avoid having Bitcointalk fall into the same trap that Wikipedia fell victim to to the detriment of the world at large.

FWIW, my post here was 'triggered' by the 'Muslims kill Christians' thread.

Would it make more suspicious if I told you I locked the thread and not the OP?  You give me far to much credit to be able to figure out that an OP locked a thread because he didn't like the direction it was going.  If I have to look out for that shit bro, yall need a new mod here!  Not to mention an OP can lock a topic anytime they like AFAIK and unless I lock the thread I will not be unlocking them.

We have threads like, muslims hate christians, muslims kill christians, muslims hate muslims, christians hate christians, christians kill muslims, christians hate muslims, everyone hates muslims, everyone hates christians, everyone hates moderators, religion is poison, can we live without religion, did the christian touch you in a bad place, did the muslim touch you in a bad place, do you believe in god, why do you believe in good, did god touch you in a bad place, I'm an atheist, why do atheists hate religion, did the atheist touch you in a bad spot.

Would it also surprise and shock you to know that I have no special training to be the Mod of such a high politically valued target such as this board?

I've spent a fair bit of time purging (locking, deleting, moving threads) the shit around here, I have also spent a fair bit of time trying to figure out what to do with all the religious themed threads.  I have not moved any as of yet, I can see some political debate being involved in a lot of religious themes.  Some of them are certainly politically not relevant but I haven't moved them YET because I see they cover a wide section of society.

I didn't get any specific instructions on the exact direction of the sub, and so I am still trying to balance the line between politics and society.  Realistically you could argue anything affects society.

Honestly though man, instead of assuming stuff and thinking conspiracies you could have just dropped me a PM asking to open the thread or ask why it was locked.  I get PM's from time to time asking similar questions and I believe I have answered all of them.  I also probably would have unlocked it for you pretty quick!

Plus, some donators might argue that they spent their money on something that could sort of be achieved  through other non monetary means.

When people say the board is dead, they mean it's dead.  There have been (if my math is correct) 5 posts in 2018 so far in the Donators board.  One post was a happy new year with one reply saying thank you.  Another post was yet another thank you.  That means there was 2 post's in 2018 worth reading, one of the threads/post, was a cross post from another section and I believe the last post was also a cross post (not 100% sure on the last one).  In reality, anyone without access to the Donator board has missed exactly 0 post from that board in 2018.

Don't think anyone is getting pissed about other high quality users accessing the board, because no one is there to get pissed LOL!  I mean if they want a boys club no one uses meh OK fine!
736  Other / Meta / Re: Hidden boards as a reward for high merited users and reporters on: August 09, 2018, 11:47:00 AM
Maybe just make the Donators board the, "Donators & Meritorious Users" board?  It's not like anyone posts in the Donators board so maybe this way it will get some use?

To hellfish's post about donating.
That was refreshing to see and something I had not considered. I like the idea that there are some out there who realise what they have is enough and would be willing to use this as an attempt to help lift others

LOL I can only dream I have enough LOL.  I want more don't get me wrong, I would like nothing more than to be able to provide my wife and kids with a substantial nest egg should something happen to me (like the deep state lizzard pedo's taking a hit out on me  Wink !!!!!!!!!) but I don't want it from people with much less than I currently have!
