Satoshi would not like the current state of this forum

[atliens99]

Bitcointalk has started to add more rules , more censorship, and bullying from high ranks.  This forum is against everything satoshi believed in now.  Satoshi would be rolling in his grave at all the abuse of power going on here. I call it like I see it.

Everyone here should be treated fairly

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Lol! He wouldn't like it but because of the amount of spam and shitposting, not because of what you say.

Angry because you are not getting any merits?

[mdayonliner]

I don't think Satoshi has time for all these. He might be busy improving the whole Bitcoin technology.

[greeklogos]

What the hell are you talking about?! Rules of the forum have nothing together with Satoshi. Yes, he is kinda one of the oldest participant of the forum, but he doesn't play any role here and did not appear for years.
Even if Satoshi would care about the forum, I think he would support new rules based on fighting with spammers and shit posters who's only wish is to make as much coins through the forum as it is possible!
Do not say a crap! I'm ready to bet that you are saying so just because of nobody send you sMerits and you simply can't rank up to earn more here.

[Talk merit]

Satoshi invented the blockchain, how do you know that he didn't invent the Blockspam ( otherwise known as the merit system ) ?

[Alone055]

This forum (now) has got everything to be liked by anyone, including Satoshi.
No one can bully you if you don't let them to, but you cannot blame them if you do so. So, everyone is treated very fairly as long as they are in the line. The moment someone puts his steps outside the line, he is bullied (as that's what you say it) by everyone inside that line. And how can you know that Satoshi is dead not around anymore? What if like thousand others, he has an alt and visits the forum just as usually as we do, but no one knows that? Or maybe he is in contact with the admins and the ideas implemented for the betterment of the forum are proposed by him. Who knows?

Do you have proof of this? Can we see picture of his tombstone? For all we know, Mr. Satoshi or the group called Satoshi might prefer to remain anonymous!

The rules and censorships are necessary to inject some sanity into the forum after it was being run over by account farmers, spammers and shitposting. The rules might not be totally favourable to everyone but one has to learn to live with them especially if you care for bitcointalk as a forum.

As for the bullying from high ranks, I can't speak much on that as it seems more like a subjective opinion based on the perspective one decides to see it.

These words that can I advise you mate if you are worried not getting merit here. I admitted my self here now, that was on my mind too before but I am enlightened now instead of making rebellion post that against to this forum just try to motivate your self and contribute a good post to this forum and don't mind about merit, later on, you will now that your post was merited someone who likes.
Just keep on posting and let's help forum not by spam or having shitposting, I know you can do that.

You are not Satoshi and Satoshi is not you, so dont assume things. Contrary to the decentralized system (bitcoin) Satoshi made, this forum is a centralized forum which is owned by someone or some people, so the owner has all the rights to apply other system or rules here, and you can not apply the rules of decentralization in here. Merit is here to make this forum better from the people who are just whining like you and too lazy to contribute to the forum, even as little as making a high quality post.

I agree with this statement. This is how people should be treated.

I am not so sure how much weight I would give the rest of your post.

And in addition, I'd say that the person/people who own the forum right now apparently don't give a shit about how bad it is from a quality perspective, nor about who has "power" here.  In fact, the admin is responsible for putting the trust system into place, so this is how it's working out.

I don't know about censorship, though.  You can pretty much say what you want to say here, and that's one of the reasons why I was drawn to bitcointalk in the first place.  There aren't many discussion forums where you have to watch your language or care who's feelings get hurt by something you write.  I know it's in the rules that you're not supposed to use profanity, but that's never enforced--and I don't think it should even be a rule.  I rather enjoy the free-for-all nature of discussions here, which usually don't have the mods stepping in to censor or lock threads when it gets heated.  That's a plus in my eyes.

What does Satoshi have to do with the forum?

I certainly hope Satoshi has something better to do with his time...

Wrong again as usual, which is impressive since OP never claimed satoshi made the forum.  The BitcoinTalk Founder is satoshi and utilizes the Simple Machines Forum software.

The domain name is owned by sirius who has stated publicly that he helped satoshi with setting up the Bitcointalk forums.

What are you looking for?
People get help in mining, both - bitcoin and altcoin, they also get help in technical discussion. On another hand bitcoin discussion, trading discussion and some other sections are 90% full of spam. It's logical in any way, why will people post like philosophers here? It would be boring too.
And how do you know if satoshi likes or dislikes current situation? He is in shadow, he achieved his aim and is smartest because of this decision.
I get help in what I want + read some interesting news here so don't care much if some people spam in useless topics, I try to report them sometimes.

Why a shitposter posting like a beggar to get money from bounties, be treated like someone really interested in the technology, who is contributing to discussions, helping others?
Makes no sense. If there were only spammers and shitposters here, nobody would use the forum and there would be no bounties for them lol

[vintages]

Merit or no merit, I don't think Satoshi is really bothered about the forum, I believe he might have handled the forum and it well being to Theymos before disappering into this air. Satoshi major interest might be on how to improve bitcoin in other to be compatible with more modern technology. But still yet I doubt if Satoshi will resurface again if he do many people will hunt him down to know his identity.

There's nothing wrong if this forum has so many rules because that's the thing that makes this place peaceful and organized. If you don't like to follow the rules here then the door of this forum is open for you to leave.

What the hell are you talking about?! Rules of the forum have nothing together with Satoshi. Yes, he is kinda one of the oldest participant of the forum, but he doesn't play any role here and did not appear for years.

Really? Satoshi became a member here?! I'm sorry to for contradicting you but I don't think Satoshi never become a member here (based on my experience here in the forum). I was able to say that because I never heard a news or read a thread discussing about satoshi's stay here from the very start that i created my account here 'til now.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Treating people fairly doesn't mean treating them all the same way under all circumstances.  That should be obvious, but think about it and also consider if anyone actually does treat all people equally.  And if that's even desirable.

How can you say the fourm wasn't made by satoshi? What is his account ID again? If he did not make it, how was he able to give theymos then.

Who was it that posted the first thread on this fourm? What about sending the first private message?
