[CENSORSHIP] Matthew N. Wright

[the joint]

Dank would be passing the joint, not bogarting.

Err... 2 days ago?
Was he even able to post trust feedback at that time?

See this is what I am not understanding, people can buy ads with false claims against companies, trick newbies into taking coins from them and be on the default trust list while making false claims against people.

But someone who is calling out people on scams is getting banned and labeled a troll?

This is just plain wrong, and censorship. I think if this continues this should be called the "unofficial bitcoin forum". Cause then you are lying to people about what politics are really taking place on here.

Yeah, this place is a mess.  What happened to the other projects to start an alternate forum?   That's what Bitcoin needs right now, somewhere impartial and moderated properly.

Well this is a veteran battle so will just say there must be worse than Matt out there trolling.

It's still in my signature (the bright red link).  Your input is most welcome...

I've contacted him regarding him seeking a programmer for a project. I've worked on it for a bit and then decided I wasn't really interested. I've already expressed that to him before before, and then signed off from Skype. (I don't generally use skype unless I have a specific reason to talk to someone there, so I haven't signed back into skype for weeks).

No money or coins were exchanged. This event was months ago, and MNW suspects that I will steal the idea / assets and launch the project myself. I'm quite offended by that, but after talking to him I understood his point of view and MNW has had that happen to him before, even through he was trolling about how I should ask theymos for rebuttals in the trust system if I want to respond

Keep in mind the trust feedback is about what he thinks I may do. It's not entirely unjustified however, if I was him I'd share similar feelings given the devotion he has for that project.

[Viceroy]

Should we start a new forum? If anyone wants to start a new forum, I am down. I can't put up coins since I am in

I offered in my thread to pay all the costs.  Come read the thread, gweedo:

I'm with Theymos.  Trolling aside, read through this whole thread and decide for yourself:

I guess you have never made a mistake in your life. He is paying it back.

[HeroC]

I wonder how Matthew would feel of he was reading this now.

[Akka]

I don't get it either.

Matthews Post are always either true, hilariously sarcastic or at least funny, I never seen him posting the pure rant you see from most trolls.

There are so many much worse trolls here, banning him just makes no sense and is at best personal motivated and doesn't show the neutral judgement that you would expect from a mod or admin.

[whiskers75]

MNW is to Bitcointalk as whiskers75 is to CoinChat.

For this reason, I support the unbanning of MNW, he may be a bad person who let some people down and trolled a bit, but he is a part of this forum and should not be censored, as part of the Bitcoin ethos.

[Ente]

Theymos, I don't think you did yourself a favor here.
I am disappointed. And now, for the first time, considering moving on elsewhere.

Is there another place with active community?

Theymos should listen to the community. Community has donated a lot bitcoins to this forum, though I don't know are those coins used to pay salary to theymos or something.

This.
We (the community) need to know what those BTC are used for.

Then create a new thread, please. This one is about Matthew being banned, not about BTCT fortune.

I read it. If that thread truly, exactly and accurately represents what happened, then Matthew screwed up and cheated on people.

He is paying it back.

Is this evidenced somewhere?

[ElectricMucus]

Paying "back" implies he did take money in the first place, which he didn't.

[Kouye]

Is this evidenced somewhere?

There is a full list here.

I guess he cannot update it anymore.
I see Anduck was in the list... So, Anduck, how did it end for you?
