The problem lies with you. You have unreal expectations, yet you expect everyone to meet them.
Yes, people don't have control over what they type. They can't help it. There is a certain level of language that is accepted in normal internet INTERCOURSE, and while you may find some of them personally offensive, that is your problem, not the problem of those indulging in the use of those words you find objectionable.
Do I wish that the level of discourse on the internet was higher, but however much I may wish it, I don't expect others to conform to my wishes. If it offends you and you are unable to ignore it, as most people do when something offends their sensibilities, then don't read the thread, or go elsewhere.
Your whole argument rests on the fact that other people lack self control of some kind. If making personal attacks aren't acceptable, for example, then people made a decision to not accept that behavior. Why can't references to "gang-bang" also be deemed unacceptable? The most certain means of attracting foul and/or objectionable language or behavior in a universe as filled with socially inept, immature, isolated, nerds, like most of us (I include myself in that crowd), is to voice your objections to it.
Most people understand this fact and thus ignore whatever offends them rather than express their objections.
The people lack self-control argument so never say anything. I hope you read what you type. Oh yeah, BTW the word originally used, "banged," has far more common associations that have nothing to do with sex. I suggest that your reaction implies the presence of your own personal demons and perversions.
The first thing I think of when I read of people being "banged," is that they are being hammered, pounded, physically struck, not that they are being "raped."
The word wasn't "banged". It was "gang-banged". I am sure when people read "gang-bang" they think of a car being banged in the parking lot. |

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

It's very entertaining. Not terribly relevant, but entertaining, nonetheless.  You were telling us all how you will change the entire internet . . . |

heres a hint: stop being so touchy and offended at every little thing and you'll be happier.
not threatened. youre the one threatened by my "cursing", apologies to your virgin ears.
like i said, this is the internet, anti-censorship in nature, we dont have to cater to you. deal with it or move on.
The irony is strong with this one. |

Could have saved yourself a whole boat-load of crusading by just using the ignore button, then you wouldn't see it. |

I have two separate individuals argue, essentially, that people have no self-control on the internet when all I asked was that a simple reference not be used. In a non-accusatory fashion. |

the problem is that your "non-faulty" logic is totally wrong lol.
it has nothing to do with self control, and everything to do with personal preference. you prefer to live in a world of rainbows and unicorns where everyone is sensitive and politically correct. and you cry foul when something doesnt make everyone happy.
whereas most of the internet accepts the reality of the internet and embraces its cruel, vial, nature. because it's hilarious and we aren't all such pussies. so when one of you comes along, we have a good laugh at your expense by making you more angry. mission accomplished.
theres no issue with self control, most of us feel like theres nothing that NEEDS to be controlled (especially something as small as this). if you cant handle the language of the internet, my best advice would be to unplug your ethernet cord.

Between mid-Friday and about mid-Sunday the EU server you were mining on didn't get anything. That would explain some of the low payouts for Monday and Tuesday. dam server was ok most of the time but with very low payout (and not a lot of unexchanged coins to be payed later) Payout were about 0.006 BTC/d/Mh for me yesterday. That's quite low compared the 0.011 to 0.015 that I usually got on eu server. Payout, compared to other users' with similar hashrate, is very low. Some of them got more than twice mine. Other got similar payouts, probably other european users mining on Amsterdam and/or Ireland servers. It looks like if the good switch algo we had on Irish server till the end of January has been replaced by a new experimental and not so efficient algo... ...and moved on US servers ? |

From "low payout crisis" to "share difficulty / profit correlations" and some "know it all bang-gangs" discussions... This is definitely the MOST entertaining thread around! On a more serious note it seems the latest server updates were successful. 8h running connected to the main server (automatic redirection) 1% reject rate No stales No getwork failures  |

This is my favorite thread to read when I am bored or need a break from work. I haven't been getting many rejects at all lately. Too bad all the shares that I do submit just get stolen by that thiefy little water odyssey...  |

Before the automatic redirection I jumped from amsterdam (lowest ping most of the time) and eu server. |
