Proposed removal of Matthew N Wright from forum staff.

[paraipan]

That'd be tough, I banned him about a month ago.

I'm expecting banned members to have "BANNED" user group, but I don't see anything
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63877.msg1040716#msg1040716

Nah, there aren't any obvious indications that someone is banned. I also usually don't volunteer information about bans, not really anyone else's business, but I won't hide it either if it comes up.

What does it take to get banned from bitcointalk  

Nothing really, just being your-RL-self

I'm not saying he broke any rules I'm saying he's straight out dishonest and as such him being listed as staff is quite frankly speaking a disgrace for the forum.

Sadly there are a few staff members almost as bad as Matthew. This forum is almost nothing but criminals anymore. Mathew as a leading scammer fits right in. 

Just check out the bets they are running about pirate in the gambling sub forum.

No matthew I have no issue with you as a person, I just take a very large issue with the dangerous bets and attitude to free speech you have.

Oh I don't have a problem with free speech. I have a problem with defamation. We're surrounded by trolls and people who hide behind the veil of anonymity. Reputations are often completely worthless as no one really knows who the individual is and as such, there is no fair debate on some issues, just noise. By making a bet, I've given a way for true believers to actually make a profit off of their belief and make a louder message to the community that they were in fact, correct. You have a problem with this awesomeness?

I'm very sure that mem does like MNW.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and mem just made an unfunny failtroll thread in his honor.

IE pirate, the guy holding all the btc.

I like how you very carefully reworded "I attack anyone that attacks pirate by saying bet or shut the fuck up" - it sounds much less like scare tactics the way you frame it.

I dont see any awesomeness, I see a 17yo that is running a scam or has delusions of the grandeur.

He's anonymous? Since when?

Those are the only two options huh? In that case it would seem that it's pretty easy to prove if I were running a scam, yet I don't have the slightest idea what kind of scam that would be or how it would work. Since you believe this way and you're adament about it regardless of the fact that it's not true, it seems like pretty easy money to me to maker a wager related to it. Stake your terms. Proving bitcoins in possession, having pirate post publicly if he knows me or not, etc. Name it. Time to collect the FUD tax.

Ok now I am changing my opinion, I believe you are indeed a scammer.

Easy solution. Stop hiding and tell me what I would need to prove that I'm not a scammer, we'll find some other trusted member, we'll escrow the coins, and you'll wager that I am in fact scamming. Again, easy money for me.

Oh you are open to discussion ?

ok - lets see proof of the btc required to payout your current bettors entirely without delay.
Then follow up by placing the entire sum required to payout bettors in the hand of a "trusted" third party.

Those weren't the terms you agreed upon for the bet, were they? If you'd like to make a -new- bet on different terms, I'm listening.

Matthew, I must know.....

Are you the type of guy that carries a pair of reading glasses in your back pocket that you resort to putting on when there is risk of getting punched in the face ?

I don't know what it is about you, but for some strange reason, I peg you as the "you wouldn't hit a guy wearing glasses, would you?" ...kinda guy.

bitlane, if you are sure Pirate will not pay your 2,500BTC, I will make a personal wager for half of that that he will. If he pays, I keep 1,250BTC of it. If he does not, I send you 1,250BTC. Do you agree to this?

[bitlane]

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica....

[Matthew N. Wright]

If bitlane doesn't even respond to my gracious offer to cover his debt and reward him, he's obviously been trolling this entire time and never for a second thought that pirate wouldn't pay him.

[bitlane]

I answer your questions about as accurately as you answer mine.

[Matthew N. Wright]

I answer your questions about as accurately as you answer mine.

I assumed you were being rhetorical since you proposed a question and then answered your own question with your hypothesis. I'll answer now.

Matthew, I must know.....

Nope. I don't have back pockets. They are a bad habit and desensitize you to the risks of pick-pocketers.

NOW... being that this thread (keeping on topic) is here to propose to "Kick Matthew's Ass out of Staff Land" ..... I will add to it.

The ONLY other 'Staff Member' on this forum that comes even CLOSE to constantly serving his own interests is DIABLO. Fortunately, Diablo, with those interests, maintains mining software for the community and receives praise for his efforts. Yours is purely a conflict of interest and a blatant SPAMFEST in regards to your 'Pirate Bet'.

As I don't have a hope in hell of keeping up with the amount of posts you make, perhaps someone else can answer this best:

Have you been able to refrain from posting your Pirate Bet offer in a single thread that you currently post in, since you began ?
