Wall Observer new ownership

[theymos]

See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1993570.0

I will declare a poll winner by considering who voted what, not just by counting votes.

Polls on forum administration are always advisory, but in this case I don't care very much who owns the thread, so I don't see any reason why I wouldn't put the winner of this poll in charge of the thread. Though if the thread becomes problematic again, the thread owner will have to be replaced.

lightfoot - "I would go with a largely hands-off option, no directly blasting other people, no posting marketing crap, simple stuff"

arklan - "if mods are needed, i have the time to do it"

Erkallys- "I candidate if this is needed. At least I have no hatred toward me as well as any fanboy." - "I would not be too strict on moderation, and I am available all day long."

infofront- "I'm not a prolific poster, or well known personality, but I'd volunteer to help moderate. I started the "unmoderated" wall observer thread because I believe in the laissez-faire nature of Adam's thread."

Lauda - "I could create one, and would if someone were to get something like ChartBuddy running again." <-- from another thread but related to this one.

empowering - "I probably have the necessary erratic mental health condition..." "...So I guess I will throw my hat in - happy to do it, not fussed either though."

Will you publish who voted for who again? I am not really familiar with some of these names to vote for them. I had hoped Jimbo would be a part of it.

How would you handle a situation with a large number of new accounts voting? The decision to consider 'who' voted is a step in the right direction, but I'm wondering how you would execute it if someone were to be leading by a large margin with e.g. such votes.

[Ted E. Bare]

I vote for Lauda.

Unlock my favorite thread already and free Adam! #freeadam

I'll ignore apparent vote-stuffing completely.

Probably I'll be able to tell the proper ordering by just skimming the color-coded voter list. In edge cases, I might devise some sort of point system.

I haven't seen a statement from you, Lauda, on how you'd moderate the thread. Do you plan to impose on-topic?

Lauda...


Beat it you tyrant... you kept deleting R0aches natzi posts... and that guy is pure gold entertainment!!! ... Do you think people come to these posts for speculation?? You are dead wrong!!! They come for entertainment!!! ... No one care who said what, when or maybe. Because 90% of the people with money from these posts don't listen to each other anyway! So its just simple chit chat between millionaires and billionaires that like to mock each other!!!

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

I just hope everyone understands that a vote for Empowering is a vote for him _and_ his monkey..

This is good for Bitcoin.

No matter who the moderator ends up being, I hope posts like R0ach's are allowed to stand. The thread will not be the same without the occasional Hitler/anti-jew meme pictures scattered about.

Aren't you mixing up Empowering and Aminorex?

Aminorex is the monkey guy, no?

I believe they had joint custody.

[Wendigo]

My vote goes to infofront.

[bitserve]

Oh, it looks like the the electoral campaign has already started. This is gonna be fun.

Lauda is in the lead atm? Who would have thought....  

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

My vote goes to infofront.

Seems to me the blatantly racist shit ought to be out of bounds. Maybe I'm a Jew. Maybe the monkey is. Who's to say?

[arklan]

i have voted my vote.

[kurious]

My vote goes to infofront.

Absolutely.  

r0ach seems to think this is fun:

(Blah blah conspiracy paranoia from r0ach's sick library) Holocaust 2.0 coming soon.

I do not.  When he was a Mod, I asked Lauda why posts I had written were deletd and r0ach's anti-semitic hate posts were untouched on the same page.  

He did not answer.

For me intolerance to the point of advocating genocide and the killing of millions of people is NOT really ok.  It's kind a red line issue.

So in the interests of an open debate, what is your position Lauda? Do you just crave the power? Can you tell us if you're a light touch, laissez-faire type, or a totalitarian?  Why were you a mod and then suddenly not?

Do tell, we would like to know.  Your past is not without clouds - but your audience is listening and prepared to listen, as am I - and if I get no answer, you will have proved my worst fears about your ambition to take over the WO.

You are not Adam - OK, who could be?  Fair enough.  But what are you, Lauda?

Bitcoin in the future does not know the concept of religion or why it should matter!

[Holliday]

I thought the new owner was supposed to be someone who is a "regular" in the WO thread?

The fact that he presents the other side of the coin is exactly the reason why we should keep people like R0ach! ... Because you can show them, point them with a finger and given as an anti-example!!! ... The world needs fucking bad guys to be in a perpetuum state of equilibrium! Balance is needed!

*edit(1):  So... don't ignore the other side of the coin!!! If danger and bad sh!t exists... you don't need to ignore it and suppress it!!! Deal with it!!!

*edit(2): People need to be aware so they can draw up their own conclusions!!!

Occasional promotion of fascism is kind of OK?

Ok, laissez-faire will win out, which is a plus point - but when I totally kick off, will I also not be deleted when I tell this psychopath who lives in his mother's basement dreaming of the death of the jews to go fuck himself?

That actually sounds fair...

Maybe you two will bond with the passing of time! Heal, mend wounds together!!!    

*edit:   And then peace was restored to the kingdom! They became friends and then they had a plenty bunch of children and the world was a better place! The End!!!
