Gangs of BitcoinTalk :)

[truth or dare]

Imagine all of those gangs can be vanquished by removing the subjectivity (gaping holes in the design) they abuse,

What? You can't remove my abused gaping holes, not when I was just beginning to enjoy them.

(@GazetaBitcoin: In case you're unaware, the above poster is almost certainly an alt of a notorious troll with whom I have a... somewhat sordid history. )

This seems speculative,  irrelevant and unnecessarily unpleasant. I have no sordid history with this member.

This thread is an important indication of how many members are starting to realize,  that the subjective merit and tagging systems are open to manipulation and collusion. These result in groups or gangs marauding destroying peoples accounts with trust abuse and deliberately withholding merit for valuable posts, that do not happen to support their own views.

The foxhole felchers are the most terrifying gang, all the seniors know that. One evening there makes a year with Aleister Crowley in the desert look appealing. You've been warned. Don't upset them.

Don't forget the Chipmixer Broke Bums Merit Mafia. Only the best worse sig spamming gangsters are invited to join and they are deeply involved in both the laundering of merit and acquiring trust via numerous nefarious ways and all just to be able to bribe themselves onto a spot on one of the highly lucrative campaigns, specifically Chipmixer.

Perhaps Cryptohunter's schizoid split-personalty alt accounts "friends" could also be considered as a gang?

Cult of Lauda - probably the biggest gang of the forum
Supreme Leader: Lauda, also known as The Cat
Members: hilariousandco

Ex Member. He's not on my trust list any more. I'm now a lone wolf.

What? No mention of the hat wearing gang ?
Not sure if they have an official name but I hear they have a rather long thread....

They get a mention from Bones261. It's possibly the gang that will prevail long after all the other ones have gone mad and gone down with their seasteads. I can foresee the hats being handed down to their descendants.

Indeed they did.
So much for my thread scanning/reading ability.  durp

Please tell me I'm not Averell

Surely Marcel:

One story features Marcel Dalton, a bank owner living in Switzerland, a disgrace to the Dalton family because of his honesty.

Don't forget the worst gang around here, TMG aka "The Moderation Gang", if you do something against the rules of the gang, you will be punished. Misc: they are everywhere!

This list is in error. All above are riders of the clown car. Vod isn't a clown tho, he is a sad children's party magician that gets mad when you say he can't really pull quarters from his ears. As for Direwolf, he was granted his clown nose last summer.

TECSHARE is jealous, he actually wants to get in clown car gang but unfortunately this circus doesn't accept idiots.

[TheBeardedBaby]

Rofl... You missed the SpamBusters' gang, we are silent killers reporters, working anonymously with the Mods' gang (another one you have missed). We also have our place under the sun. There are more gangs like the LN supporters, the BSV - scum of the galaxy,the faketoshi believers, and the biggest one is the gang of spammers fighting with our gang all the time... etc...

Well, maybe we need to get a tractor trailer rather than a Volkswagen Bug. 100 clowns is an awful lot to cram into a such a small space, not to mention the hundreds of friends the clowns bring along for the ride.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I at least used to be in the Thick-Skinned Gang, though I've tried to be less insensitive in certain areas as of late.  Certainly I've tagged enough idiots and subsequently ridiculed them to qualify.  And I'm pretty sure I've been accused of being in the merit cycling business, though there's no substance to any of those arguments--Foxpup has given me the majority of my earned merits if I'm not mistaken, but that's on him if he likes my style.

Nice thread, OP and it's obvious you put some work into creating it.  The forum feels much less gang-y than it did back in 2017 or so, or maybe I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

Agree and you are right on that , should be definitely written in the OP.
I like the " silent killers reporters " thats a good one written .

Hey, we are talking about clown car here! There is more than enough room for every clown and their 500+ friends! Except room for tecshare, of course, he has his own jester gang.

3. The Thick-Skinned Gang

I think I just need to assure you that this gang doesn't exist...


hm: me, timelord, daveF and jet cash didn't make the cut for any of them... interesting. I think Jetty not being part of one is my doing .

I don't seem to be in any gangs.

We had knowledge socialism but a few of those members left us...

I was going to say that if there is a gang bang, please can I join in, but I'm not sure that we have any girls here any more.

Last time I checked the ratio was 4.9:1
Edit: now 4.6:1
Based on what concerns most of the girls round here, I'm guessing they're all living in asia, don't think I'd even find 1 in 5 girls interested (without suggestion).

Opps, I can't say girls any more. The last girls I referred to as a girl, said I had to refer to females as binaries. I really don't understand this woke stuff.

Tell 'em genders are the inverse of a normal distribution.
A 'V' shape if you will on a graph.

The forum feels much less gang-y than it did back in 2017 or so, or maybe I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

We survived a bubble burst and a load of spam that was going on around then with a load of newbies... A refined community is a closer one: roll on 2021 .

Well, can we at least upgrade to a Lambo? I have terrible childhood memories of a vacation that I took in a Volkswagen Bug with my aunt. During the trip, we got into two accidents. One was a rollover, while everyone slept (including my aunt) and the second involved a Semi dragging the Bug for about a block because my aunt decided in the last minute to go straight in a double turn lane. If all of us clowns are going to cram into a car, it might as well be in style.
Also, why cram in a car at all? Wouldn't a fleet of funny looking tricycles be more practical?

[stompix]

Hello OP. You may want to investigate the hat club.

OP, don't listen to this guy! Nobody sane enough would mess with the hat gang!!

Don't forget the C****

Never heard of it, don't know what this C* you talk about is, never saw them posting, never gave them merit, never had any contact with them!
Just take me to jail already!!!!

Well, we already have clown lambo but it is basically for 2 clowns (those 2 clowns are "right hand" of clown leader). Hm, clown car gang could make exception and put you in clown cabrio:



(clown cabrio is for oldest members btw)

Tricycle is for clown car gang leader only.

Tricycle is for clown car gang leader only.

I know I will regret asking but who's the leader?

Is there a requirement for initiation to join a gang? I found this on the web, I listed some of it below.

• Initiation by cop
• Being jumped in or beat in
• Sexed in
• Jacked In

It has descriptions as well if you are interested. The link is below.

Well, in order to join the car clown gang, you need to lie in wait in a gutter until someone makes a post that is not to your liking. Then you must strike by painting them red and having them for lunch. Plagiarized whitepapers floating your way usually are followed with particularly juicy meals, IMHO.

To enter my gang, which you'll be immediately ejected from, there is one trial that must be passed.

I send a polaroid of myself waving on the toilet.

The initiate has to blast their toilet area with an air conditioner for ten minutes set to the lowest temp possible, and then film themselves getting fully aroused by the polaroid with no manual stimulation at all. It also has to be a 360 degree video so I can be sure there's no other arousing material in the room.
