SomethingAweful Idiots Invade forum

[Joscience]

Spam and trolling Differing opinions and dissent will continue to be removed, but it is not a crime to come here from SA, merely shameful and embarrassing. Maybe these newcomers will bring with them some interesting and useful ideas, which our community will promptly ignore as it has done so many times in the past.

Fixed that for ya.

because I fuckin care you twerp! these loser kids need to stay OFF this forum! got it ?

You don't really seem very libertarian. Are you sure this is the right currency for you?

[makomk]

I propose the same method of procedure for jews. Got to flag those subhumans; they are a threat to the public.

Now now, have some perspective...

(Sorry, fellow goons, couldn't resist the joke - one of you has the singular honour of being the only person to talk about yiffing on any of the Bitcoin IRC channels since I started logging.)

More seriously: they appear to have managed to dig up the kind of information about Bruce Wagner that has been desperately needed for months. They might even end up saving Bitcoins, or at least killing them to save them. If someone had found this earlier it would've saved a lot of trouble...

(and no, it's not because I lack a credit card, it's because it's easy to write Bitcoins off as imaginary money to spend them on silly shit)

Problem is I'm not sure I'd trust any goons to not just take the payment and then delete their wallet for other goons' enjoyment at my expense.

Possibly wise; most of them, errm us, feel the same way about Bitcoins as you...

create a sub-forum for them they BRING no value to this forum I would say a lot of forum members here would agree!

A sub forum is a great idea. We could call it the Great SA Concentration Camp.

fake accusations has no flavor. They don't belong on this forum they belong where they come from SA.

[evolve]

b/c who the fuck cares what other forum someone posts in?  would you like me to hand you a copy of my browser history to comb through as part of this SA witchhunt? how do you plan on enforcing any of it?

Really?  You should join.  Just make sure that you make a new thread introducing yourself in the 'General Bullshit' area once you do.

Hey, we tried to throw you guys a line on Matt Wright and Bruce being horrible scammers ruining the community, but you chose to whitewash the forums...

[tasarz]

I love how many of the most prolific bitcoin backers, who one would think support free speech, call anyone who disagrees with them some combination of a 13-year-old child, an idiot, or a troll.  It's the perfect way to shut down a conversation without having to actually respond to the message.

Sure, there are SA trolls in this forum.  There are also people from SA who think bitcoin as an idea is nice, but that the community is being overrun with scammers preying on idealistic libertarians.  You may disagree with their methods, but I defy anyone to say that scams aren't a huge problem right now.

Speaking as a lurker on both forums- sure, some of the SA posters can get a little...hyperbolic.  The same can be said about posters here (does anyone really believe that Matthew Wright has 30 business correspondents who are anonymous and have never posted anything on a bitcoin forum?)  But that's not at all the same as saying anyone who dissents with popular opinion is a troll.  Skepticism is a sign of a healthy, inquisitive mind- and I have to say, I see a lot more of it over on Something Awful than I do over here.

They don't belong on this forum they belong where they come from SA.

What about those of us who joined SA after their epic Bitcoin thread started?  Are we ok?

This is great! for the forum business to get donator status,
so you don't have to talk to them, unless they each come up with 10BTC.
which is very very unlikely.

Think about that and smoke it.  

You won't ever have to hear anything from them, unless you look in gen pop, because they will never donate.
So you get a level of protection from the unwashed masses.  
Free from the scourge of the land, just 10 BTC.

Just 10 BTC, you get your own VIP entrance completely away from all of SA.

Sounds enticing doesn't it??

10BTC, no trollers, no spammers.

SA

It's not the fact that the Bitcoin community disagrees with you, it's the way you guys have conducted yourselves in portraying your opinions, by inflicting damage on anyone who has an opposing view. I can tell you right now that MANY people in this forum disagree with my ideology (as it matches a much more Liberal perspective) but they still respect me, and I respect them because it's the common courtesy that we owe to each other as human beings.

With that being said, everyone is welcome at TweetForum! However, if this "Invasion" was going on at TF there would be so many bans issued I would develop carpal tunnel.

You assume goons don't have BTC's? LOL that's where you're wrong...

true.

+1   

I'm curious what kind of protections are or might be instated to gen pop.
If I'm going to donate I should probably get some kind of protection along with my status, since I'm paying taxes.

if that were indeed so, you somehow think they would ever use them to get into the VIP?
What would be the point??

I think we could safely say or even guarantee the VIP is completely free of SA.

I've always long suspected this was the case happening on this forum. If you aren't familiar with them here is what I'm talking about:

http://forums.somethingawful.com/

They are "trolls" who troll each other  regarding funny shit and the like but they once in awhile take up causes that attack other people as we've seen today. I think there should something on a "users status"  on this forum that signals the member is associated with SA ( as we do with scammer labels) so other forum members know who they are dealing with ( in a good or bad way ). If this isn't done I think we are setting a bad precedence for the future of this forum and yes Bitcoin in general. At the very least create a sticky that lets people know who are current forum members and their affiliation to this group.

I know making such a request will bring them out in full force but it's a risk I'm willing to take  

That is ridiculous, in so many ways.

We have our 1st somethingaweful Troll, folks! - LOL

Both you and bbit are complete retards.  I am not a member of SA, (although I wish I was, after the great service they have provided to our community) even if I was, your ideas are as dumb and totalitarian as they come.  It is complete idiots like yourselves that are causing the damage not SA.
