Amph, the useless user!

[mashcom]

I suggest you to lock this thread already, there is no point in discussing this, do you really think he is posting crap for 13k posts and he is not banned? Obviously not, he must have been doing something right, you said you reported his posts, well he is still not banned, there is no point in trying to ban an user just because you dont like him. Mods seem not to agree with your view so thats the final word.

no, it is useful discuss about spam and useless post of who is wearing a sig advertisement. 13k posts of crap? the majority of this post are useless and don't add anything to the discussion (only repetition and 1-2 lines)


do you think if he will remove the sig advertisement he will post 40 posts per day?   

No i dont think so, he would most likely not post 40 posts per day BUT as long as it is accepted by the mods, what can we do? When we talk about constructive posts, we are subjective, there is no official rule of what a constructive post is. Its not illegal to post 40 posts per day and as i said mods didnt ban him yet. Maybe we should wait for a mod to say something.

lot of his posts are not constructive because he doesn't add anything of useful when he writes them. he is only reading 1-2 posts and rapidly post his useless and insubstantial post. i'm not saying all of his posts but the majority because when you make a lot of posts it is normal the drop of the quality


illegal? What we are talking about? it is not illegal but there is something wrong if the 70-80% of 40 posts per day are useless and insubstantial (don't add anything of useful to the discussion)

can you reveal yourself plz before barking at someone ?

to be honest i don't see any problem with my posts, and mod think the same too this is they let it go

there are some reiterations, yes, but this is to be expected because here everyone is repeating and opening thread about the same thing over and over again

also what is wrong with this, enlighten me

trade with only trusted members

use always escrow

use common sense

don't trade with guy that want to use paypal/skrill/other paypal clone

try to divide your amount in small fraction when dealing with someone, in the worst case you will lose a tiny portion

don't download shitty stuff from random newbie user


i think there are more....

he was clearly asking about countermeasures against thieves

also it seems that you're not understanding that you don't need to add technical knowledges every time you post, you can simply post to enjoy the discussion, this is a forum after all

In my timezone he has posted 29 times in 4 hours and 30 minutes. The posting maniac with such a short time between posts he can't be being that constructive. I am not going to go threw them all to see but am sure admin/mods have and they see no problem. If you see the bitcointalk twitter he was posting on there and could not wait to get back to posting lol I don't want to call out people but there are a few in that campaign that do the same.

Well i hate it when people say that thing, that you cant be constructive if you post a lot, why not? If you have something to say you can be constructive in all your posts, specially if you are replying to something that you have good knowledge of, like altcoins and mining in this case, seems.

You might hate it but do you think I care? The thing is if I go from posting here to another thread and post on there within 2minutes do you think I have time to read threw the OP then make my 'constructive' post within the couple of minutes? lol. Get real dude you need at least 5-10minutes between most posts to add something to the discussion. So there is your reason.

ah this is because, first i write my post on more than one thread then i actually click the "post button" 1 minuter after another, it's not because i did not read the op

forgot about this

actually i was posting more then 40 when the altsection was still alive, and not full of crap like it is right now, and without carrying any sig

so you are wrong

i dunno know. another example of his lack of ken ;

he can't even understand the question and he is free to post, i am disappointed.

I've seen that thread and it's kinda hard to understand what exactly OP was asking. Others in that thread have also expressed confusion about the question as well:

what mechanisms should here have to prevent criminal actions?

What crimes are you referring to?  This is kinda very very broad and could be a lot of topis.  So hard to even give an anwser.

Like crimes btc is used  in?  Crimes when its stolen?  All depends which one.

Exactly, OP isnt providing enough information here to get an answer they're looking for; are we talking real life or on this forum in general? One real life example I can think of is requiring cryptography to prove your identity; could've come in handy with the social engineering hack on the forum recently.

he didn't express any confusion he posted his useless and insubstantial reply . a normal human would ask (if him doesn't understand) but amph replied without perceived the op's question .

actually i perceived more than the other, it was pretty obvious to me

you should keep your random hatred for me, to yourself(not that i care...) and stop this non-sense crusade

I fail to understand why do these useless topic keep on springing up every day. Meta is not a place to accuse people of spamming and then again and again having the same discussion on what qualifies up to a constructive post.
BadBear has earlier also asked to report people directly to him via PM, so better do that, Badbear has a fine sense of judgement and will take care of the reported user and will ban him if his posts are found out to be spam.

I don't think you're right at all (first part). If people are going to make threads like these it should be in Meta, anywhere else would be more off topic. If you think this is a useless topic, you have no idea what nonsense people are posting in the Off Topic subsection.
As I've stated the thread is somewhat fine, only because we've had (many) threads against other users because of trust (Dogie, QS, Vod, Canary..). However, the only case that was actually correct was Canary because he was abusing the trust list.
We'd expect the moderators to act after he made 13k posts right? They probably consider him fine then, even though (as listed) some of his habits are pretty bad.

But we have topic like this everyday and we start discussing the same thing again and again, and its pretty useless to everyday discuss the sane thing on each new thread. It would be really better if people are straight away reported to BadBear, i hope you can trust his wit.

[gogxmagog]

Annoying and stupid yes, and as useless as amph's posts may be I don't think he qualifies as a spammer (according to rules and mods)
This whole argument is like censorship arguments. Ban amph's and mods would rightfully need to ban all sorts of not-scintillating users. There can be no rules regarding intellectual depth on a public forum, because... autistic bitcoiners need bitcointalk too you know.
Also, eliminating sig campaigns won't happen. Even some mods participate, plenty users manage to post decent content and meet sig obligations. They don't put shit posts, you would be punishing them along with amph.
Also, the forum runs ads at the top of each page. Might be interpreted as hypocritical if the sigs vanish.

Obviously the mods have already made their decisions. I suggest to all users offended by dumb posts and sig ads that they disable ads in you account settings and place serial shit posters on ignore. Only problem with that is you'll see page after page of "this user is ignored" and nothing else

It's a tough one. Capitalist freedom or intellectual elitism....

[BitcoinDistributor]

I reported to Badbear and theymos "amph" now let them review this guy. This guy is an obvious example of spammer here on forum.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

i started to report a lot of his insubstantial and useless posts (don't add anything of useful to the conversation). the moderators should take an action against this type of users the most spammer is Amph (he makes 250-300 posts per week and the majority are really insubstantial or useless)

Profile link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=99297

Bye.

I completely agree.  I haven't been registered on this forum for long, but he's the first one I put on my ignore list.  He posts in almost every new topic and most of what he writes is complete retard gibberish.  There is no other forum I know of that has anything approaching the corrupting effects of the signature campaigns. 

Thumbs down, says Caesar!!!

[hedgy73]

I like Amph, I've bought a couple of scrypt miners and mined on a few of his pools before and never had a problem.

Ok he posts a lot but perhaps he just likes contributing.

i see no difference from "retard gibberish" and your retard gibberish post in your profile..., i think here the problem is another, here there a problem of hating someone that is everywhere on the forum, i can understand this aspect, because some times i also hate myself when i scroll some thread and i see that i'm in everyone of those(a bit hilarious but it's the truth lol)

my only problem is that i have plenty of free time and i can post all day nothing else

Whatever dude, dont listen to them, in any case you could start a thread against the OP, take a look at his posts, mostly 1 liners with what, 30 characters at most, he complains about you spamming when his posts are total trash, his excuse? ''i dont use a sig campaign'' so because you dont wear a sig ad you can post trash all over the forum and complain about others.

I think its important to have an open discussion about this. In the end you cant put all the work on a single person (BadBear).

I thought about reporting Amph several times in the past, but I never did (at least not that I remember). Yes, they post a lot and some of it is nonsense or just plainly wrong. A reasonable discussion was not possible in my personal experience. I cant provide a link, but I remember a thread where I and IIRC LaudaM[1] tried to argue with Amph and it was fruitless.

I did not write a report because of the points gogxmagog already mentioned. We can hardly ban someone for beeing undiscerning and shallow. Amph if this sounds like a insult to you, that is not my intention, its just my personal perception of many of your posts, other may see this differently. Its also perfectly fine to have different views on things and not all are appealing to everyone.

If you however as you say hate yourself for posting, maybe you should get help. Do something else or start a new account to limit the amount of posts you can write.

[1] Sorry If I dragged you into this and you have not been involved.

it's not that i hate myself for posting that much(that was a bit of a joke of course), was just a way to say that i understand why someone could get upset by viewing always the same guy posting in every thread

if you were referring to that discussion about quantum computers, i still remember it clearly, and none was right or wrong, just different views of the same thing

[shorena]

I dont think seeing always the same person is something I would hate. It certainly depends on the person.

if you was referring to that discussion about quantum computers, i still remember it clearly, and none was right or wrong, just different views of the same thing

Yes, that was the topic and IIRC you have misconceptions about quantum computing, but as I said above it was not possible to discuss this with you and I dont see a reason to repeat this here where its off topic. In the light of the thread it was most likely not spam or useless.

I am not BadBear and I am not sure how exactly they judge whether someone deserves a ban or not, but if I were in BadBears position I would certainly add you to my watch list. That beeing said, I did look at your posts in more detail and never saw any reason to call you out as spammer.

Whether this is something you care or not I cant judge, but I personally would not want to end on Danny's ignore list. Its probably the person that taught me most about bitcoins inner workings, about misconceptions I had and probably still have. Knowing that I would never again get corrected by him would certainly be problematic for me.

I also remember you giving good advice in the tech support section and I certainly dont read all your posts, so my impression is flawed anyway. If I see something I think is wrong I will speak up, but thats part of a discussion board and no reason to ban someone IMHO. It would be borring if everyone here would agree on everything.
