Has all the forum staff quit? My reports to moderator = unaddressed for weeks.

It's a public agreement, terms stated in public, terms violated in public. Absolutely no wiggle room out of it. Especially when the violator quoted the exact rule they violated.

so you think quoting something is more important than explicitly confirming you agree to it? are you trolling? did you mean to post this 2 days ago on the 1st of April?

does anybody here believe an "implicit agreement" because of a local rule is an agreement to full extend? just curious

Electronically quoting a contract of auction terms & replying underneath it when specifically, highlighted-ly, prohibited from do so, serves the same function as signing your name at the bottom of a contract IRL.

sure, just because you say so 

I'd be interested to know if anyone else agrees with you on that

I don't think it matters what anyone else - other than the moderators - thinks about it. And since the moderators can use their discretion, and seem to have done so, I don't really see what TBZ can do about it. If those trolls continue trolling perhaps a ban is in order just for that. Perhaps TBZ can appeal this all the way up to the Supreme Leader theymos.

Contracts IRL often get broken and voided and otherwise invalidated, sometimes on ridiculous technicalities, so I'm not sure that's a good example to follow.

Consider the trolling ban request for Ggddtt appealed as far as it needs to go. All their trolling is referenced at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=870352 & backed up to archive.is when necessary.

If serial trolls/stalkers/saboteurs are allowed to skate on violating reasonable local rules/auction terms (& also those for whatever reason have managed to skate criminal indictments), then telling OPs they can write reasonable local rules seems like a false pretense just to waste our time. Shut down the Auction subforum if "fuck you OPs, you can get sabotaged with impunity at every turn" is the supreme global rule.

P.S. Can I run auctions outside the auction subforum & self-moderate them to destroy saboteurs, then? I'll have an email notification of each bid reply to the topic, and if I'm fast enough, an archive.is backup of each bid on the actual forum.

I don't think it's reasonable to use local rules to impose a ban for ONE reply. Removing such posts seems like a sufficient remedy. But continuous trolling after being warned to not do so - that could be a bannable offense. I have no idea what the threshold should be though. Have you PMed any mods or theymos?

Is "Report to moderator" not a private message to all of them?

Due to his "self-escrowing", pretty sure I told Quickseller never to reply to any of my topics ever again. So yes, this is continuous trolling from both of them after warning. As such, I accurately predicted both would compulsively violate my term. Nobody else did.

I meant - did you ask mods (or theymos) to respond to this thread.

Quicksy is forum's equivalent of a flaming bag of dog shit but there is no rule against that, sadly.

AFAIK there's an option to have all reports within your jurisdiction sent to your email, but with the amount of reports that they have to deal with on a daily basis I doubt that many have this option enabled and wouldn't doubt it if theymos has already disabled it globally.

Otherwise, the reports are sent via a queue sort of interface.
