Appeal the unbanning of crazyearner - spamming nonsense with long posts

[fonenumba]

Recently crazyearner was banned for 14 days for insubstantial posts + paid signature, as per this thread.

At first glance, it would appear that he makes fairly long posts. However if you were to actually read his posts and the thread where he posts, you will see that he is just posting a bunch of fluff, nonsense and other gibberish.

My post here broke down how one of his posts was nothing more then a bunch of nonsense.

Looking at the posts he made since he was unbanned, I think it was a mistake to allow him to not serve his entire ban sentence.

this post is the first one that he posted when he got unbanned. It is probably the closest thing to not spam, ironically he probably will not get paid for it. The post is quoted below:

Looks like am back Now can get back to posting on bitcointalk and hopefully no more problems for the future.

this post is somewhat on topic, however it is filled with a lot of extra words that really do not belong, but nonetheless make his post appear to be longer. It is quoted below:

sounds interesting
I'm in

lots of stuff goes on in crypto space in US but hardly anything in UK

also over years have spend too much time in front of keyboard and not met enough people from all over world that have become connnected with and friends
whether domains, web development, crypto, whatever

Well once I get more interest in this and more are in like yourself and thanks for being part of it if I do manage to get things under way. Indeed a lot seems to happen in the US r central  parts of UK like London but the problem of that is, not everyone can get their or even get to bigger conventions such as ones happening in the US. Would be nice to get to some of them. Maybe if more people in UK had a good get together to maybe do some travailing as a group and team might also work good too. I have a few things in the works that I be adding here in the future. Just need more people to take part in this and get some good projects and meetings put together.

His next post is really off topic. Also ironically, it is very short and does not contain the fluff/extra words that his other posts contain. This post was posted in a lending thread, however it has nothing to do with lending. It is talking about a cloud mining service that he thinks might be about to 'run into problems'. It is quoted below:

Loan amount required: 0.2BTC
Term length: 30 days
Interest: 10%

Reason: Scrypt.cc Mining
address: 13yvPm8DcA29hqtt8CDpYSG1YzVVB5arS1

Might want to check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=444495.0 seems some people are now having problems with their site and deposits. And the old saying goes problems = game over or very shortly will be game over.

This post is where he starts to write a lot of nonsense. He merges two solutions into one, and neither of the solutions are likely going to have actually resolved any similar issue that anyone has experienced in the past, which leads me to believe that he has not actually implemented the solution(s) that he suggested. Not only that but he also congratulated the OP on getting his problem resolved (it is unclear if the problem was actually resolved or not), which made his entire post pointless as help was no longer needed. The post is quoted below:

Hello,

How im gonna get Betarigs recognize my miner?  AntMiner S1...
Hope i get REAL JOB. So i Can start mining farm 

Normally what I do is if I get problems with my miners is just make a new one up on betarigs. Reset miner and rig turn back on and generally works fine. Other than that might be problems at betarigs side as I know over last week they had some problems but they had resolved them. If you get problems no harm in contacting their support. Nice to see you got your problem resolved and can continue to mine. Just try some of the above in the future as generally restarting miners if been on a long time without a reboot often cures the problem

His next post is even worse. He clearly does not know what he is talking about, and is just making stuff up. He is suggesting solutions to a problem that does not exist. He is giving incorrect information and is really just using buzzwords. He is *trying* to give solutions to a slow internet connection, while the OP is complaining about slow mining speed, however his solution that he gives would most likely not even help anyone with a slow internet connection. This post makes me think that he is either using amazon  mTurk  or some other similar service to make his posts. It is quoted below:

So my mining farm is growing. I now have three antminer S1 Hashing at 200GHs give or take as i have overclocked them and then i have one visionman Prospector mining at about 1.2THs. BTC guild has my total mining speed at 1.67THs. Has anyone experienced with X amount of miners networked through a single switch a reduction in speed of each miner? It seems as i hook up each individual miner, with every new one i add, the speed across my total network of hashing slows down. Im using a TP-LINK TL-WR941ND Router. I have only one desktop connected to this router via the wifi and im doing nothing but reading on the web, so i should not be hogging much bandwidth on this desktop.

Get yourself a 8 Port Ethernet powered hub Plug all miners into it then one main wire into your PC. Never had any problems using one of them using multiple rigs. Auto configures ips for the devices connected to it so long as you have your miners set up this way and not on static IP. If they are static IP hub should detect this and work still.  I have one for my units and work wonders when having auto assigned IP on antmienrs simply plug them in goto main router or modem look up devices connected will find the IP assigned to it if not static IP assigned to units.

I have 3 ant miners 1x  avalon 2x pc and 1 ps4 connected up without problems. The only thing you will indeed notic is your speeds across your network. Depending on ISP and what speed net you got if its lower like 16meg broadband or so then ull notice some small slow down in browsing but not much only when downloading as it is spreading your network bandwidth across all devices.

His next to last post that he has made is what I think really puts the nail in the coffin. He is expressing interest in a scrypt-N miner made by a particular company. The thread is somewhat active because there is some level of what appears to be unrelated conversation. He asks what part of the second quarter that the miners should be expected to ship. Looking at the OP in the thread, I see it was created in Jan 2014 with an estimate to start shipping mid that year. Additionally the OP has negative trust with comments saying that among other things, what they are claiming to sell would be impossible to produce. Looking at the post history of the OP going back a year, I did not see any mention of any shipments in 2Q 2015. It is quoted here:

I would be interested in some of the scrypt-N miners are these for this algo only or also scrypt too. When in the 2nd Q are you expected to start shipping as I am tired of pre orders and would like something more solid and buy now or test product. Seeing you guys are in Estonia what would shipping be from their or is shipping including in the price. Located in EU what would shipping be to UK  as you say to contact.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

His next post, well I guess we can let the community take a look at his last post itself

For the above reasons, I think it is more then appropriate for crazyearner to be rebanned so he can take some time to learn to change his posting habits. I also think it should be looked into to see if he is using some kind of artificial intelligence or artificial artificial intelligence method to post

[innocent93]

If you find some of his posts are useless or nonsense to you, just use the "report to moderators", besides you should believe moderator's judgement.

I don't think some of them are nonsense, I think they are all nonsense. If I were to put a similar report in a report to moderator report then a mod would most likely handle it, and it is only global moderators and admins who can ban people.

BadBear had previously said that you can PM him with this kind of info however he is away for so I posted here.

[botany]

Glad to see that the appeal system works, at least in some cases. 
Otherwise, there was no point in allowing people to create an alt and post in meta to appeal the ban.

[marcotheminer]

I sense a little bit of jealousy. In my opinion, his posts aren't spam.

[Lorenzo]

While some of his posts could probably use slightly better grammar, spelling, and punctuation (although I've seen way worse) and I admit the "flow" can be a bit difficult to follow sometimes, I don't think he should be banned. After going through his posting history, I can see numerous examples of posts where he was actually genuinely helpful.

For example, this one was posted recently in a thread in the Technical Support forum:

when i have the wallet syncing it says make sure your time and date is correct for the wallet to work properly. any advice on why it says that when the time is correct

This is computer related go into your time settings and check the time zone on it and also check you have auto update on internet is correct. one of the servers might be not working and it is not updating your time correct. When doing this have your BTC wallet closed and then once you updated your time settings re open BTC wallet should solve this problem for you.

1 check location is set correctly on system
2 check time and also time zone and off set to correct one and location
3 check time and adjust to correct time via internet etc.



Goto your time in bottom right hand side right click on it and then select just time you will get the options like in the image.

4 check your internet setting time too and click on update time.



Click on internet time and then click change settings, you will get the following settings above. Click on update now if it updates you will then see it updated to correct time and is now updating correctly if you get time out or error use the drop down box to select another server and try updating again. If this does not work search on goggle for time zone server and then put into box and update.

If this is not working after and does not fix the problem, then this could be related to other settings in your system that might be conflicting with BTC wallet. Post back and let me know how you get on with this. If dont work drop a response can go though some trouble shooting with you

Which apparently fixed the OP's problem:

issue resolved. followed crazyearner steps. works fine no error messagee

appreciate the help thanks

Op. In my opinion there are many people who deserve to be banned more than crazyearner. I am amused that you put such effort into writing your opening post just to discredit him, why do you hate so much? It may be true that some of posts of his are not ideal, but  yours are? We are all humans here and  nothing is flawless and perfect as we wish it to be..

[thebitcoinquiz.com]

I don't think that its correct to discuss every person on a case by case basis here on Meta. Its better to PM badbear if you think someone is spamming. Leave the rest to him, he will take care of your appeal and take the appropriate actions. But its not good to discuss people in public. Here is a quote by BadBear:

If you pm me about sig spammers, rest assured, I do read them all and check them out. Some go on my "watchlist", some I act on. I don't generally respond to such pm's though, I don't really like discussing actions taken against users with other users, and I don't have time to respond to all the pm's. If you've pm'ed me about such users and haven't gotten a response, don't let that discourage you. I know it sucks to not get a response, I really do, I've been there. It feels like the pms are going into a black hole, and it was a waste of time. Just treat it like reports, send a pm about it and move on, I'll deal with it if it's needed. I do appreciate it, I get a lot of pms (have almost 6k pms in my inbox) but I think this is important.

I agree that he has horrible grammar, spelling ect however he also appears to not closely pay attention to what is being discussed. In one of the OP's examples, he is giving solutions to network issues while the problem is hashing speed as the problem was that his pool was showing a total speed of more then 10% less then the expected total hashrate of all of his miners. I had responded to his advice saying that it would be a bad idea to follow his advice.

I think it is pretty clear that he knows how to write in proper English as some of his posts do use correct grammar, syntax, spelling ect so I don't see any reason why he can't always use proper English as I have no interest in taking the time to try to decipher what he is trying to say, I will just skip past his post. It would be one thing if he has some kind of disability that caused him to speak/write like that (as would be evidenced by him always writing like that) however since this is pretty clearly not the case as he clearly does know how to write properly he should be expected to write in better English. If he isn't willing to take the time to write properly then he is just trying to rush through his posts to get as many out as quickly as possible (aka spam)

He has mentioned previously that he is dyslexic.

The ban decision does seem a bit excessive imo... But 14 days isn't really that much. Temp-bans are usually handed ad as a warning by mods.

That is understandable however he does have the ability to communicate "normally" if enough effort is put into it. I don't see why he can't put in sufficient effort into his posts so they all are able to be comprehended without having to spend a lot of time looking at what is being said.

Regardless of any kind of impairment, if you write the way a lot of his posts are written, the average person is going to think they are just random words and the impression of him (and the forum) will be reflected accordingly.

I don't think everyone needs to write in a way so that an English professor would find nothing wrong with it, however you should be able to quickly know what he is saying in a particular sentence when looking at it.

No one obligate you to read his posts, if you want you can 'ignore' him. I think everyone is free to write whatever he want , he should only be 'constructive' and not off-topic".

Well if he writes the way that most of his posts are written then I would say they are not constructive. Even if after "translating" them they do have something to do with what is being discussed. 

[erikalui]

I find few of his posts going off topic and also mentioned those posts in his topic but finally it is the MOD who decides whom to ban and unban and hence it's wrong to judge anyone in that regard. If he/she continues to post off topic replies, one can just report it to the MOD and let them take the decision as here it's looking like everyone are targetting one user based on his/her English and posting. Leave it to the MODs and send them PM if there is any issue.

We're participating a fourm, not a writing competition, everyone might make few useless posts, there's no one forum rule that saying every single posts must be constructive and as long as possible. The rules just forbids spamming. As OP said, long posts is spam, short posts is spam also, So what kind of posts are not spam? I know you would say his posts is long but useless, but most of his posts is good enough to me, we're not Shakespeare.

Anyway, the admin has his own judgement to ban or unban someone. Just trust admins.

[crazyearner]

And once again am here explaining again. Think from now on going to add to my name I am dyslexic. Not just because some of you think am lazy and not taking my time on posts. I spend a lot of time on here well I use to but not much recently due to a lot of it being related to Bitcointalk and other things.

For the ones shouting grammar. I have none to very little due to being dyslexic and I should not have to explain my own personal problems on here but yet I am and at 30 with as bad of a problem like this its not good.

Yes I even admit you all slagging my posts off some or all are I get that. Keep your opinion to yourself than to make a thread and slag me off. I just about get the understanding to starting and finishing sentences if am lucky on a good day.. Anything after this I lose knowledge of where things go and in what sentences before and after. I  learn it and that does not keep with me and this is something I do not suffer on memory loss it is total punctuation grammar I can not seem to remember for long periods of time have done literature over and over and does not stick with me.

With a lot of posts you will see am using gaps to brake things up and not have all cluttered into one big long sentence with full stops here and their for starting and finishing my posts. If mods want to remove or ban for it and continue to then am just going to end up leaving here all together and find better places to post that people are friendly welcoming and not disrespecting members for problems out of ones hands.

You will see with almost all my posts they are sectioned into parts for a reason so that can at least read them or better to read as I have no other way to.

I might know some spellings to words or spell them wrong even using spell checker and get some of the letters mixed up yet they look fine to me.

@fonenumba If you want to consider all my posts as fluff or BS then simple click ignore and report my posts for your judgement. Post look fine to me. But then again my judgement has no say in the matter does it ?? Guess not.


Since been here only time I have had a ban is holding a signature campaign and am just about done with them. But  I go back not for the pay but stuff I enjoy and like taking part in to help promote them. After this one am in I think I will be moving on all together from signature campaigns and posting on other places and no doubt sell my account or even donate it to someone in the future or just leave it dormant.

Since been on here since early 2011 having no bans warnings or anything is a little funny to see that I get ban holding a signature campaign and giving reasons that today has still not been explained in full detail of or going into on what posts or to learn from or to try and learn from to note down and try and remember. So how can one learn or make an progress. Even to try and improve on my posts I doubt even in another 10 years am going to learn or get the hang of it.

@Quickseller When coming to other things besides writing I am far better. I learn visual and learn by hands on experience. If you show me how to do it with instructions then good luck in me learning it. Show me I learn it present it to me I learn. Maybe with writing maybe mental or what doctors tell me but I try to do better but its something am beginning to think past because at my age now am thinking it is something that will never get past.

Anyway am not here to wright a novel and explain myself time and time again. Think what you want about me. Never judge a book by a cover and that is clearly what a lot of you are doing on here. Just because I can not wright posts proper and grammar you mark an instant assumption of how someone is by only reading the first page. Try turning over to page 2 and getting to know someone before making an assumption of who someone is.

For the ones who are in here sticking up for me it means a lot to me and some understand this but not everyone is the same way and could not thank you enough.

For everyone else feel free to click the Ignore button over left. Bye.
