The Day WoodCollector Was Banned - Commemorative (HAND CARVED) Plaque

[crazywack]

Can't the admin see IP? I have seen more more in even less of a thread as a "staff" on a forum.

Where is the proof that WoodCollector is banned?
 
Where is the proof that these are his alts?
 
Has there ever been an instance of a bitcointalk admin violating the privacy of their users?

Where is the proof that WoodCollector is banned?

Take a look at his profile page. His signature mentions that the WoodCollector account was banned here.

Where is the proof that these are his alts?

It's fairly obvious that he was in control of a few alts, as those were really the only people standing up for him, plus IIRC BadBear tagged at least one of them as a WoodCollector alt.

Has there ever been an instance of a bitcointalk admin violating the privacy of their users?

It was fairly obvious that those users were alts of WoodCollector. Users figured that out pretty quickly, plus the staff here have tools to find alt accounts of users as well. Don't really think that making his alt accounts public was violating their privacy, when so many people knew already.

So banned accounts can still log in and update their signature?  Can we get confirmation on that forum behavior from an admin?

Short of evidence from BG4 or an admin, we are still left believing the word of WoodCollector, don't you see a problem with that?

When you are banned from this forum you are still allowed to update your signature.

The funny thing about WoodCollector is he pretty much responded how Goat (i.e. Chaang Noi) would if they were banned. lol

If you look at the trust page of each of the users listed in that wooden piece you will likely see BadBear (an admin) claim "A likely Alt of WoodCollector".

I presume they have their own methodology on how to determine if someone is using multiple accounts even behind tor.

The writing styles of those accounts are very similar as well. Take a look at their posts and you will see they continuously do not captitalize "i" and mistakenly use "your" in place of "you're".

Thanks, smoothie, I hadn't noticed the BadBear reference and this is good to know about the signature.  I wish the admins were more active in outing scammers and their alt accounts.

The admins work hard to out alt accounts of persistant scammers. Take a look at BadBear's sent trust, he has over 65 sent trust ratings calling out alt accounts of scammers, so I'd argue that they do a fairly good job of keeping users aware of scammers alt accounts.

Why is it I feel like I am the only person who doesnt have an alt account ... ?

Awesome work BG4, fuckin hilarious! As someone who followed the WoodCollector drama from day one, I laughed out loud at this.

HUGE lol and Bonus Points for having the QR code lead to the "Buried Treasure" thread!!   
That thread was the biggest & most obvious bullshit joke I have ever read!!

Same. It's enough work to keep up on all the damn messages and threads with this one.
