50 BTC from the forum now frozen due to lack of moderation

[CIYAM]

Unfortunately my wife saw these posts by some forum troll:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1081959.msg11558833#msg11558833

I sent numerous reports to mods to delete the off-topic posts but they seemingly decided that such posts are "fine and dandy" in this forum.

Result is that my wife has now confiscated my off-line computer that has the 50 BTC that the forum has asked me to look after.

If the forum ever wants those 50 BTC back then I suggest you might want to delete those offensive posts.

Also if I were the forum member who made those posts I'd never plan to travel to China in the future.

You know this sounds like extortion right? Read your post objectively and tell me it doesn't.

You can argue with my wife about that if you like but I have lost control of the offline computer.

It looks like the offending person is seriouscoin who is apparently a shill for whoever is leading the smear campaign against dogie.

It also appears that his signature contains the dox of someone else that he does not like (posting a name, phone number and claim of homosexuality is a pretty good indication of this).

He has also been a hernia on the ass of this forum for quite some time, posting nonsensical tyrannical stupid shit that is frankly annoying and abusive to every thread he frequents.  I feel for you OP, and sorry if anyone from your family has been offended by this radical douche nozzle.

while that's true and all. some might wish that OP never post this topic and makes everyone see what looks like an extortion happening in public. a PM should be fine

what will the other members that's holding BTC for the forum think?

[CIYAM]

Of course I am sure most forum members don't want to see such a topic but unfortunately I had my offline computer taken from me and have no other way to regain control of the 50 BTC that I am holding for the forum.

If you think it is fine that the forum should just allows insults of everyone's partners then please start insulting the mods partners as clearly that should be okay (am sure they will all be very happy to have their wives read posts about being "maids").

He's not a shill, just someone with a lot of hate for pretty much everyone. There are swathes of pages of posts where every post is a single sentence insult at people. Of his 3000 posts at least 1000 are terrible. I made a very quick summary post of some examples specifically directed at me, but could be in the meta or scam thread.

Generally the OP does sound like extortion though, and claiming another party is aggrieving you doesn't give you the right to pass that extortion down the chain.

Then come and talk to my wife who is so angry she won't even talk to me.

For sure you are not going to do that even if I give you her QQ - so don't give me bullshit unless you are prepared to actually do something.

Yes that is okay, the forum's policy does not prevent personal attacks.

Its your responsibility to talk to your wife, not the forum's however you still have a responsibility to the forum and the funds you are holding.

Haha sure I'll talk to your wife if we're on the right time zones.

When I can't access the offline computer that has the funds then I am sorry but there is nothing much I can do.

You are welcome to try and sue me if you think that will work (I don't think that my wife cares much about your opinion).

That's exactly what it is. And throw in a vague threat too:

Also if I were the forum member who made those posts I'd never plan to travel to China in the future.

You need to do the arguing with your wife or you owe the forum 50btc. What you're actually saying is remove these posts or you're not getting your money back.

If you think it is fine that the forum should just allows insults of everyone's partners then please start insulting the mods partners as clearly that should be okay (am sure they will all be very happy to have their wives read posts about being "maids").

You really need to grow up, but here's an insult for you: your wife is an absolute cunt if she has genuinely taken your computer away (but I don't believe that for a second). I think it's you just being unbelievably pathetic and trying to get your own way by blackmailing the forum into removing some posts you don't like. Feel free to insult my wife, kids, dead grandparents etc.

[CIYAM]

So the mods on bitcointalk.org have now become people that call others "absolute cunts".

Well done @theymos - you created a monster.

There are two completely separate problems here. One is that those posts by seriouscoin are indeed offensive and I agree they need to be removed.

The other problem is OP's extortion. It does sound like he's extorting the admins demanding them to remove the posts or they won't see those BTC50 again. Even if it's true that OP doesn't have access to them anymore then he'd need to be responsible and pay back from their own coins. If he accepts the responsibility to hold the coins he can't refuse to pay back when required under any circumstance. If someone stole or hacked those coins he'd still have to pay them back.

Agreed - even if I can never access my offline computer again I will try to repay the BTC so this is not some game that I am playing to steal 50 BTC at all.

Seriously my wife saw the posts by that asshole and got so angry that she took my offline computer and now I don't know now where it is.

[CanaryInTheMine]

This thread is a little surreal... To say the least...

On a related tangent, why are forums btc not multisiged yet??? Shouldn't this be priority #0?
Wasn't there someone who passed away before and now this?
Over time all forum btc will become inneccesible at this rate.

CIYAM, i know you are angry about this, i just read the comments on the link and are really offensive.

All the forum users deserve respect, but in real life and more in Internet we will find some trolls or users with bad intentions. And we can identify that users on the forum with the trust system.

I think the way you are handle this is not the correct, If you want to make some noise to see how the mods on the forum handle this, maybe this was the right way, but at last your family is holding the forum money, and that is something serious.

[Blazr]

That sounds rough, luckily though you were smart enough to make at least 3 backups of your wallet with at least one of those backups offsite, so you still have full access to the funds. Right?

Both Electrum and Armory force you to make at least one backup before you can send funds, I'm not sure what software you were using for your offline computer, however I would expect it must've had this important security feature so that you don't lose 50BTC due to a hardware failure or in this case a hardware seizure.

[CIYAM]

My offline funds are dependent upon my offline PC.

I will try to calm my wife down but with the mods seemingly happy to see her insulted that isn't really going to be very easy.

This forum has really gone "too far" about letting people "attack others" and not helping anyone being attacked.

[dogie]

I just had a thought, can we confirm this isn't a hacked account first? CIYAM are you able to sign an address please?

[Ps if those posts are deemed deleteable, you might as well nuke seriouscoin's account because its all like that]
