I just checked mine, but it's mix of good and unhandled. I find it's weird since all of the unhandled thread contain link to this "rwaltz".

Those reports are unhandled because old posts are not moderatod, even if they are reported.
I think you missed the message saying "Old post: We generally do not moderate posts this old for on-topicness, substantiveness, multi-posting, and other "cleanliness" issues." when reporting old posts.

I didn't miss that message, but IIRC a moderator says its okay to report old SEO spam. And almost all thread i reported shows that same message, where some of them marked as good anyway. Maybe there's something i missed or forget here.

To everyone who says "its a family name." No its not, not for the last 75 years. When's the last time you ran into someone with that as a surname?

Here in the Balkans, a music star is called Adolf. The irony is that he was born in 1949, only a few years after World War II. I don't know how common the name is in the world, but everyone's first association is Adolf Hitler.
We probably wouldn't have known that someone was using such a name if he hadn't become a popular musician.

To be on topic, I am certainly in favour of banning offensive and confusing usernames and making them impossible for registration and further use. It doesn't have to be exclusively offensive but does anyone remember ~DefaultTrust, obviously only with the idea of ​​trolling and creating confusion? I am surprised that the account is still active.

Code:

 I vote for: #2, #22, #62, #81,#94,

Can someone explain why it is exactly useful to hide your "last time online" status?
This only makes the argument easier for those who are hiding from someone, so now they can, without the possibility of verification, claim that they did not see something because they were offline. Great for scammers.

I think using Bitcoin itself might not be the most efficient or feasible solution due to potential objections and block space concerns, there are other decentralized file systems or distributed storage solutions could be a promising avenue that could be explored.

What are your thoughts on using platforms like IPFS or Filecoin for this purpose? They offer decentralized storage without the associated block space concerns of directly using Bitcoin.

See, I don't think it's a stupid username or a good one or clever or anything at all.  I wouldn't judge that person by what he chooses to call himself on the forum; I'd judge him on the quality of his posts and that's it.

From a marketing perspective, its a terrible choice. In the case of the account in question, I would have named myself "apartment4bitcoin". Also, good luck getting into a sig campaign with that name. 

If you are referring to the bitcoin theymos received years ago, the USD value of that bitcoin was only a few hundred dollars, probably well below the FMV of the time necessary to run the forum plus the operating costs.

No bozo, I'm referring to the million dollars in bitcoin (at a few hundred dollars each) that Theymos spent on four people, at the rate of $100,000 USD a month.   Liars should have a good memory. 

Yeah ultimately it comes down to just you being sensitive. There is no rule regarding offensive names that I'm aware of.

No, there aren't any rules against "offensive" usernames, and I'd argue that Theymos would probably never implement such a rule given how subjective offensiveness is.  Personally, if I just came across a post by hitler420 I wouldn't think anything of the moniker.  Jesus, if your fur gets ruffled by the mere mention of a word or name, you really need to grow a thicker skin.  There aren't any safe spaces here on bitcointalk.

Of course its a stupid name, but the only thing he's really harming are his chances of anyone taking him seriously.

This isn't the place for people who get offended easily.  OP, you've been here since 2016 and you ought to know that.
