Wasn't that the one with the huge screencaps pointing out that the members of the Bitcoin Foundation have done business with each other before in other bitcoin-related ventures, and with the hilarious evidence-free accusation at the end that they're planning to create fake bitcoins and destroy the market?

I thougt the the thread was better than other troll threads and probably needed to be moved and not deleted.  Everybody seems to like to exert power.

Yes. But not accusations - I just explained how they can use their influence in the future.

I reported the previous thread as "annoying FUD" to the forum staff just as I am reporting this one, as it belongs to the meta forum. The ties of bitinstant with bitcoincard and neft are well known and have been mentioned in the neft thread.

Don't be so hard on the guy.  It looked like he put a lot of work into finding those public details that everyone already knew.

I concur. Why would one stop him from undermining trust in Bitcoins just so he can push his alternacoin?

I deleted the thread which was my first instinct upon reading it anyway. It was trolling and off topic. I even checked with the forum administrator and he agreed although he suggested I could have moved it to off topic instead.


What you posted was facts that most of us already knew and then you made a conclusion for which you had no supporting evidence. I'm sorry but that's trolling and does not belong into the Bitcoin Discussion.

Instead of deleting threads you can move them to the trashcan. Less of a problem if you made a wrong decision by deleting it.

I did do exactly that.  Wink

Perhaps it was not "substantial enough"

This was the reason given for the recent deletion of a thread of mine in the speculation subforum.

Disturbing degree of arbitrary power thrown around by moderators here, let users decide the merit of threads.

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

U wrote u had left it coz it was funny reading. Why did u change ur mind? Well, never mind.

When I saw that my topic was removed I thought someone of TBF founders asked to do this. I was mistaken and this is good news. Anyway I'll keep an eye on every major step of TBF.

Strange question. I protect the original idea of Satoshi - decentralization.

If the thread contained damaging personal information about the individuals in question, then deleting might have been necessary.

If not, it's a decision that is mildly supporting Come-from-Beyond's fundamental worry.

I remember that one thread I was discussing in was deleted and I had found it offensive. I have no copies of the text I've posted in that thread, and I spent hours in total writing all that.

Threads shouldn't be deleted on the grounds of them being off-topic or dumb. If you don't want them to be bumped, lock and move them to off-topic.

I can give you copies. Posts are almost never permanently deleted. (I still have deleted posts from 2010.)

That creates too much clutter, and it isn't convenient for moderators. Moving a post is currently much more difficult than deleting it, and even if that was fixed moderators would still have to think about whether each post should be deleted (because it's automatic spam, etc.) or removed-but-archived.
