Pretty bullshitty, but then again these are bullshit times, which call for bullshit measures. I guess.

I read through the three page thread, linked above, and mprep did provide an explanation towards the end of the thread that seems reasonable, and it is possible that theymos might advise on a different punishment or override mprep, but also might not be necessary since mprep already did explain that he had given a lower level of punishment to participants as opposed to the thread starter.

Of course, there could be a modification of the punishment, such as a reduction from 7 days to 3 days or something like that, but I am NOT sure if I understand the problem well enough in order to speculate whether such a reduction would be prudent in these circumstances... in other words, I do understand, generally, why they have to give some punishment in order for the severity of the rule breach to be understood...    I am surely glad that admins have rules that disincentivize the pumping of shitcoins.. so there is that....

I have never been suspended or otherwise punished on this forum, so far, but I have had posts deleted and I have been locked out of my account for decently extended times, including one time for nearly a month, so there is a world outside of the forum, at least I believe it still exists out there.  Perhaps LFC (and/or JSRAW) will be willing to report back to us, once his (their) suspension is over.... hahahahahaha unless he (they) becomes so bitter about his (their) punishment that he (they) becomes a no forum-er.... so there is that possibility, too.

I have received punishment in other times of my life, and sometimes I had believed that the punishment is not just, so if such seemingly unjust punishment comes, then there is a decision regarding whether it is worth it to fight the punishment or rebel in some kind of way.. In this case, the punishment might feel or seem a bit overly harsh if you had gotten caught up in the punishment, but really the punishment does not come off as outrageous to me (especially given mprep's explanation).

Good evening.. Price $ 6212 per bitcoin at this moment and it is rolling side ways, rolling between $ 6000 -6400.. Watching it closely as it is hard to enter the market to trade.. Hope everyone is watching it closely Corona's fear is everywhere but it is hard to say anything regarding the movements of crypto.

Like the worst shitcoiner around. WO merits??

Sheeeeeeit (c) i now do.  
I also saw it's Shitfinex. The merit were only meant for the (bullish) charts.  
It's not easy to not confuse nicknames for me, except the frequently posting ones.
Thanks for pointing me to it.

Welcome.
Hard to trade?
I saw a single opportunity to successfully trade the whole week (after the dip). I wouldn't trade shit at the moment. You might win a time or two, but probably lose much more, more often. #nohodl?

I got my eye on a rural county I think would make a nice ranch

Austria?

Not a bad idea. You'll get financial aid from the EU and producing foreign beef (longhorns) would make you a lot of money.
Since quite some of the elder farmers will have to face covid death, there should be some cheap farms and squaremiles of land available soon, since the younger ones are not interested as much in keeping a farming business alive and decide to sell. Otherwise they would also have to pay to their siblings, if they want to exclusively own the farm.
As long as you can stand the austrian mentality, it's fine.

Hahahahaha

For once, I am not in the cross hairs.

Accordingly, lambie bambie and me are like good ole buddies.. nonetheless, we are witnessing that cats and dogs cannot get along.

first.. we had nullius who? and out of memory

and now we have cryptotourist and marcus...

So many funzies as always in the WO thread.


Why can't we have nice things anymore, like this?



Note: That doggie image only incidentally resembles jonoiv (not intentionally).

I was about to officially request some chick-pics (no wings, please).
Thank you for posting that cute lil doggie, after looking excited at the pic for a minute, i can easily forgive everybody now. No more grief

Yeah, r0achie, what happened to him?

Zip, he's still here with that other August account.
14th of Feb. I get it.

Why wouldn't he just use his regular account?

What you are saying, Cryptotourist, does not make any senses, unless there is something wrong with Roach's regular account.

All the big cities are deserted, reality surpasses fiction again, only the Martians remain to appear and we will have the complete apocalyptic pack.

hey, easy now

Sorry, what does the phrase mean? my english does not capture the meaning.
You can express it in another way so that I can understand it?

Thx.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse

:-)

Stop panicking!

Between the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, I fear Famine.  I do not fear Plague (at least, not in this instance).  I do fear War.  I have never feared Death; and I do not intend to start now.


The Earth is ridiculously overpopulated.  A long-term global lockdown proximately causing deindustrialization and famine could help to knock off a few billion talking apes.  Maybe it is not such a bad idea after all?

Everyone in “crypto” should also be familiar with the Four Horsemen of the Cryptocalypse.  AFAIK/IIRC (?), the identification originated with The Cyphernomicon by Timothy C. May.

https://web.archive.org/web/20020727001417/http://www.cypherpunks.to/faq/cyphernomicron/chapter8.html#3

8.3.4. "How will privacy and anonymity be attacked?"

• the downsides just listed are often cited as a reason we can't have "anonymity"
• like so many other "computer hacker" items, as a tool for the "Four Horsemen": drug-dealers, money-launderers, terrorists, and pedophiles.

R.I.P., T.  C. May (1951–2018).  If he had lived just a bit longer—perhaps he got lucky.

No problem with what mprep done and think but I think this rule is too harsh for the users. The topic creator may given a warning or such thing after trashing the thread. I was once a victim on this too and I tell you what, it's not something that makes you feel good.

Forgive me for NOT playing around with entering for a decent amount of time... or even NOT injecting any new money for a while... but I wonder why is it hard to enter, from your perspective or the perspective of anyone else having similar problems?

I had not heard of this happening in recent times, so I wonder if you have been limited in your access to exchanges ?  weekend issues? Is there some recent changes to onboarding avenues such as exchanges?  are exchanges (or other onboarding avenues) overwhelmed with a new volume of entrants?  What is the current entrance problem, that you are suggesting?

Pretty bullshitty, but then again these are bullshit times, which call for bullshit measures. I guess.

Seriously?  A well-known rule that stops massive spews of spam should be bent based on favouratism, so that hardcore Bitcoiners can get away with participating in a shitcoin giveaway?  I don’t always agree with mods; but what’s supremely “bullshitty” is to give them bullshit over a ban that could have been avoided by, um, not participating in a shitcoin giveaway.  Some people whom I generally like are on that list; so, well, see ’em in 7 days.

Forking hell, in a locked thread where I can’t say what was already said anyway, this made me give preeeeccciouss merrritttzz to suchmoon.  Got to be objective, I guess. ;-)

While I do think mass bans are a bit too harsh for this, particularly for a first offense...

• I'm getting a feeling that some here think the ban is unfair because of who was banned (well known users). That shouldn't matter. If anything, being forum veterans you should be expected to lead by example as far as following rules and shit.
• I find it quite ironic that some die-hard bitcoiners got banned for shitcoining.

I hope y'all get unbanned but if not - take the opportunity to go outside, I'm hearing good things about it. It's just 7 days. Will be over in no time (in 7 days to be more precise).

That was damn straight.

Anyone want to place bets on what the cat would think?  LOL.

A warning for the topic creator? !! ? ! ?

I was once a victim on this too and I tell you what, it's not something that makes you feel good.

“Victim”?

So sorry for your hurt feelings.  Please don’t break important anti-spam rules that prevent this place from degenerating into “crypto talk” or whatever.

This is the time to do a *massive* upgrade to US infrastructure. Seriously, there should be a billion men rebuilding those railroad tracks to last 100 years.

That is a very good idea; a decent modern railway for commuting and freight would really be good for the USA. 

Plus it would be an investment, not just giving money away, but using money for a long-term benefit, creating work and building a new infrastructure asset.

Far too smart an idea for anyone to actually do it, though.

[JayJuanGee]

You already know i'm rarely offensive and quite forgiving - peace of mind is one of the best things in a human life

I agree that frequently you have tended to gravitate towards compromise, but you also have had a few situations in which you had stuck to your guns sometimes, too....... of course, I am not just referring to your one life as Oom, so there is that other life that some members might not be aware of..... So in essence, you had even made some questionable arguments at various points.. not that you might not have been being genuine in your assertions and not that I am attempting to stalk you very much.. just incidentally membering things. 

It is not a BIG deal to battle out some arguments once in a while, and sometimes to compromise too, especially when the argument is seeming to deviate into personal attacks or even seemingly to deviate into off-topic subjects that other members might give less than two shits about, unless those arguments can somehow be reigned in to showing some kind of relevance to the main topic of the thread...

Sure... fair enough.

Like I already mentioned, it is possible that theymos might overrule mprep or advise him to change the level of punishment for some of the members, but it seems that mprep was already trying to go a bit light on them overall by reducing the suspension time for each account from 14 days to 7 days, and mprep explained that he tries NOT to insert too much subjectivism in the way that he applies the forum rules... which seems to be fair enough boundaries for any mod to strive towards employing.

[JayJuanGee]

Anyone want to place bets on what the cat would think?  LOL.

O.k.  I will bite.. but maybe not place any bets.

I am thinking that a decent number of peeps in this particular thread do not give as many as two shits about what the cat thinks, and some folks here hate that fury beast.

I personally don't have any problem with that scary feline who seems to subscribe to the practice (or philosophy) that "it is better to be feared than loved."  Just like many cats would do...  

By the way, I am thinking that kitty, kitty is NOT very favorably disposed towards any kinds of shitcoin pumpenings.. just a hunch.

Back in the day I will shamefully admit to a shitcoin giveaway. (no linc, you can find it it if you are really interested)
It was more of a joke and just having a laugh with my pet staking shitcoin, as I knew it was a total farce/scam  as any random shitcoin is.
I didn't even realize I was breaking the rules until the thread was locked.
Turns out the thread was locked because the coin died and dev skedaddled and had nothing to do with my Captain Obvious monthly
comical giveaway contest. I had fun though. Hopefully I made some folks laugh, if nothing else.
I think I even dumped all the remaining staked shitcoins I didnt give away for some bitcoin dust on yobit before it totally shit the bed.


Regardless... LFC contributes a lot to this community and certainly does not deserve a 7 day ban for merely replying in a shitcoin giveaway thread...just my 2 satoshi worth.

Print the money to buy the steel instead of airdropping it on banks and (presumably) airlines etc. who will only buy their own stocks..?
