Let's face it...BCT is a comedy show at times!
Numerous posts of mine have been deleted for no reason while the FUD patrol has flooded various threads!
Ask Mr Pumperitis how he was banned for standing up for a coin that he was a major coin holder of...but all is fair and why complain! It is what it is and when that happens you know you have touched a nerve and of course apply more pressure!

Well, this forum is somewhere between absurd and ridiculous.
I think that it is good that forum administrators ban accounts that are trolling, and this thread has been a lot better in the last six months after banning Lambie and the concerted efforts to ban his various shill accounts, imitators and posters who are not providing substance buy merely trolling.
Surely, some threads are more topic specific than others, and this particular thread seems to be very tolerant of a large variety of topics, which seems fine to me, so long as the posters are not consistently trolling.
Also, in this particular thread, it seems that you can be pro or con bitcoin, pro or con big/small block and have a variety of other views and not be banned so long as you are not trolling (and even administrators seem to have quite a high level of tolerance for trollers with long standing accounts as opposed to newbie accounts that require a bit of a probationary period)...
At the moment, seems all good to me.. and I see no major censorship, as seems to be implied by several posters who are asserting their opposition to recent administrator banning actions...
I have to disagree.
I have been following this forum for a year and a half now but opened my first account two months ago. From the beginning I saw a troll problem here and decided that out of respect I don't open account before I get to know you guys bit more and have something to say.
When I did open an account I noticed from the beginning that most of my posts got deleted and many of you guys put me on ignore right away just because I had a newbie account. After two weeks my account got banned. I never understood the reason. I was never trolling nor insulting anybody even when I got into some discussions when others where insulting others I just tried to calm things down diplomatically.
After I got banned I have been sending several emails to ask whats the reason of the ban? Never got reply.
I know its hard to fight this trolls. But I see this obvious trolls continue trolling without getting banned.
My experience is that its very hard to join this community and actions like this makes me want to troll this place by just opening another account but Im not a troll. I just opened this new account now to reply to this topic. I don't think I will continue to use it.
I feel like I know you guys after following this thread daily for over a year and sometimes would like to have my input in some conversations but it looks like its not going to happen. You might as well have a private thread as its very difficult for a new members to join. Thats sad news for a bitcoin communities growth and unity. I will still follow the thread though.
But Very disappointed!
That post surely smells like bullshit.
If you were constructively contributing (like arguably could be the above post) by stating an opinion and backing it up, then why the fuck would you get banned. Likely something else was going on.
The fact that you believe that you are going to be banned, probably lends credence to the fact that you are engaging in bullshit in the above post.
I have a suggestion that maybe you try meaningful contributions, 3-5 posts or more per week, and then see where it goes. You are unlikely to be banned, unless you are contributing a bunch of bullshit.
Actually, I will make one more point from my own experience. Over the last couple of years, I have posted nearly 5300 posts, and probably only about 10% or fewer received some kind of direct response.
We can still contribute, and we do not need to expect a response to any high percentage of our posts. Sure some readers may hate me, but that is likely their issue, so I can still make a personal decision to attempt to contribute in whatever way I deem most within my preference...and as long as I am not engaging in a bunch of disingenuous bullshit, then it's pretty unlikely that my account will be suspended.
So, if you are genuine, try posting in the forum (and this thread - and don't expect people to trust you from the start, until they get to know you a bit) otherwise your above post description of what supposedly happened to you is a bunch of bullshit... and you are just trying to get attention by making things up.
