A boycott of replies to the recent extensive trolling by cryptohunter

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I think you-know-who is back in full troll mode, and I do believe people have been feeding him scraps from the table.

Therefore:  BUMP.

Edit:  Also, in my mind I knew c-scunter would create a self-moderated thread after I'd done so.  And though I didn't read any of his posts in that thread, I did give mikeywith some merits for a post he made that must have took some time to compose--which scunter promptly deleted.  I should have had the foresight to quote the post and respond to it in this thread before the deletion, which I was 75% certain would happen.  Oh well.

My apologies. I'll refrain from doing so (until the next time). The YKW stepped into my self-modded thread and blew a fuse when I deleted their post so I felt compelled to explain it. That's my official excuse.

I'm doing my best to not respond to him. However, I still don't have him on ignore. I think it is hilarious that he thinks he's winning the argument when Theymos either increased the number of source merits many of the "gang" can give or made them new Merit sources less then a day ago. It's clear that he is not getting through to the correct person.  

Quite frankly I will give much more credence to Theymos' action then any of his tldr troll rants.

Yeah, "winning" in the sense of:

1) Charlie Sheen circa 2011.
2) Denzel Washington's character at the very end of Training Day.

Now that Mr. NotAPresident explained his approach to PMs I think the best course of action for our friend would be to do just that - send a PM and explain the problem, whatever it is. I'm sure that if this is such a catastrophe as it's made out to be then appropriate action will be taken.

But I think we all know we'll keep seeing the same grievances scattered among multiple threads with no end in sight.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

My apologies.

No apologies necessary.  Also, I thought some of the senior members had agreed to start making self-moderated threads whenever it is that they create threads, so as to cut down on shitposters.  It was a while ago that this was being discussed, but I thought it was a great idea.  I've started a few threads since then, and a couple of them I forgot to check the "self-moderated thread" box but that was just my early-onset Alzheimer's acting up.  I'm not looking to censor post that disagree with anything I'm saying.  I'm focused on eliminating posts that say nothing and are obviously written in order to get paid.  

In this particular thread, cryptohunter is not welcome, and he knows that--just like I know I wouldn't be welcome in his thread.  That's all dandy, but I'm telling you all:  there is NO point in engaging him in any discussion.  This is a fat troll that needs at least a few months of fasting.

Yes, that would be his best course of action if he actually believed his own bullshit, but he doesn't.  He's not trying to right a wrong; he's seeking attention and only that.  C-scunter is like a child whose mother weaned him off breast milk with lemon juice.

I noticed "currently ignored user" created self moderated thread to complain about suchmoon removing her reply from another self moderated thread and then, reading this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093854.msg49089635#msg49089635, she removed suchmoon's and mikey's posts from her self moderated thread 

It was a big mistake to hit "Show/Hide" button, I don't think I will repeat that mistake ever again.

[o_e_l_e_o]

I did the same as marlboroza, and took her off ignore to read her new thread. What a mistake that was. Against my better judgement pointed out that complaining about censorship when she locks her own threads to prevent anyone from responding to her latest nonsense was just a tad hypocritical. I have no doubt she's completely ignored my point and simply insulted me and all the other "gang members", but I'm not interested enough to find out. Back on ignore.

A momentary lapse. It won't happen again.

[suchmoon]

TP, please do your thing again. These warnings don't seem to last more than 3-4 days

[Timelord2067]

Seems a reasonable request.

Code:

~cryptohunter

<Ignore>

[mOgliE]

I'll try to take the vow too then.

But it's not an easy task.
I don't know why but the mind refuses to ignore such level of stupidity. It's like his stupidity contaminates our brains so after reading him we're no longer intelligent enough to restrain ourselves from answering him.

Anyway I've put him on ignore and will put all my will on not hitting the unignore button.

Though I know that when I do that with TECSHARE it lasts for a week at the very best xD

It's simple because he got tag. Before Implementation of new DT system he was tagged for trolling. Somehow he fight about it and tag was turn into neutral. But after new DT implementation some of old tag reflecting on his trust score. So he start fight first against new DT system. When he failed now he fighting with DT's. That's the case.

/s = sarcasm - well aware this is some mental case, don't worry - fingers will stay away 'from unignore - I will fight it!

This isn't working. There are too many people who just come in and try to reason with him in every thread, blissfully unaware that he does not care one iota about logic, sense or rationality. I've pretty much given up on even looking at Meta for the time being. At a time with huge changes to DT, when we should be discussing what is best for the forum and how to go forward from here, every thread is being turned in to his rambling nonsense and abuse.

I've had him on ignore for some time, but I'm willing to bet his posts are all the same as they were a week ago. Given that they break the first three rules (low value, off topic and trolling), can a moderator let us know how long we have to put up with this shitfest before he gets banned? I'd like to be able to have a sensible discussion amongst adults again.

I have reported some of the shitfest a few days ago and the posts are still unhandled so I'm guessing we're gonna have to wait a while.

[LoyceMobile]

I had about 7 of them deleted, and that's while having him on ignore.

Where does one find a priest of the Cult of Lauda to confess my sins? I'm engaging with that asshat again.

Forgive me father, (or is it mother) for I have sinned. I couldn't help myself. I merited Jet Cash in his meta thread and the troll basically stated the person who merited him (me) was a scaredy cat. Please forgive me and tell me what my Penance should be. I want to be worthy of partaking in the holy cat nip.
