Sorry for offtopic reply, but how do you get name on blockchain?

or


i asked greyhawk, and he told me that if you put your bitcoin address in your profile blockchain.info scans the forum every so often and updates their list.

My negative trust rating is reflective of a personal vendetta by someone on default trust.

Shouldn't this blub be updated then to make it more specific?

Well that's weird.. I seem to remember Theymos using the "This forum is not a business" line a few times to excuse not making certain important features. If it's not a business, why does it have employees and income?

I'm not much for conspiracy theories, but it does seem like that would have been announced publicly so people would know that their advertising and donation "revenue" would be going to pay mods to censor them  Cheesy

I'm gonna go ahead and use the word "BFL spokesperson" instead of "mod" in the future.  Cool


"Someone call the BFL spokespeople. There is a scammer afoot."

"I think BFL spokesperson John did a great job cleaning up this thread."

"Just ask a BFL spokesperson to whitelist you."

It's gonna be great.  Cheesy

No donation revenues are being used.
Advertisers pay based on the value that they see in the forum and the returns. They pay for a fair price to get a good chunk of visibility in the Bitcoin community.

Bad theory.

Ok. Moderating a thread is now called "de-rippling" it.

"I think it's high time someone de-rippled this thread! Can we get a BFL spokesperson in here?"

I'm surprised that no one noticed this before now. Almost all of the moderators have addresses in their Bitcoin Address profile fields, and these addresses receive obvious, regular sendmany payments from addresses owned by me or the forum...

Moderators are not employees. They are not required to "behave professionally," and they don't need to help you with anything. The payments are a form of thanks for past actions, and they do not establish any future obligations for the forum or moderators.

John K. got $1,149. How do you sign up to be a mod!

Report many posts accurately, and write good posts. Mods are added infrequently, and only when needed. Also, as you can see, few mods make anywhere near that much.

I wonder if SMF supports word filters, to just change them automatically. And here I was, thinking we might not hit our drama quota for the month.  Grin

Seriously though, I don't care who buys ads or for how much, people pay what it's worth to them. They aren't shares or anything, more or less in ad sales doesn't affect it.

The payments started around April as I stated in my last post here. Smiley That's the first payment if I'm not wrong.
