BITCOINTALK.ORG: Is being turned into nothing more than an Bitcoin pumping site.

Being turned into? Wasn’t the site created to spread Bitcoin awareness to the masses, or “pump” it?

You are making the works of mods here much difficult the way you do your activities here. Yes, this is a free speech forum and this is why you were able to make a post and even screen shot of your deleted posts freely.

Now think of what you have done to the forum and why your posts were being deleted? That is a big question where mods will be having hard time deleting probably irrelevant post.

So next time think before you click. Your post

I've found this website to be the best overall source of cryptocurrency learning via active dialog. The least censored, biased, controlled etc.  Yes it's made up of mostly bitcoin supporters but there's a dedicated altcoin section that's very active and I've said plenty of negative things before about btc and never been censored for it.  No one here who understands cryptocurrency and knows their stuff overall thinks bitcoin is perfect.  People speak about flaws/issues all the time. Comparatively for example- Bitcoin.com not only censors heavily, they first have to approve the comment and then have the ability to to close/delete all comments, and lock threads without any explanation ever.  Here Theymos often engages the community, and moderators speak up /answer questions /concerns more often than I've seen anywhere else.

Exactly. If you go to the Technical Discussion or Technical Support boards there are plenty of threads discussing flaws and issues with bitcoin. The difference is that these threads have actual points made coherently and intelligent discussion, rather than just the same nonsense spam over and over about how a chronically incorrect investor who is all in on gold thinks that gold is better than bitcoin (Amazing, I know).

After all, if everyone thought that bitcoin was perfect then why do we have devs? Why do have new versions of Bitcoin Core being released? Why are people constantly working on squashing bugs and developing and building new features. Why did we need SegWit? Why do we need Lightning? Without criticism there can be no growth.

No one is reporting or deleting OP's posts because they aren't pro-bitcoin. His posts are being deleted because every post is the same low value nonsense, often made in threads which have nothing to do with gold or bitcoin price.

Exactly this is what i am thinking as bitcointalk was never made to pump the bitcoin. But i wished we could pump the bitcoins 

There are many other reasons why the OP posts are being deleted, one of them being posted one after the other and secondly the posts like bitcoin will pump or bitcoin will die both comes under spamming unless you have a solid evidence to support your prediction.

The 'Hard Facts' after every comment you write, is it closing line like in letters or you mean it with substance of comment?

Lots of people believe bitcoin is scam and they are posting on this forum as well. When you will read this thread which has made on July 13, 2012 called "A Scam" then you will discover few people believed bitcoin is scam. But all comments still alive and you are able to read them. So is it not freedom of speech? But you are trying to create FUD and repeating same thing again and again. So I believe someone reported your posts.

Probably your posts have been deleting below reason;

Q: Do you moderate/delete (possible) FUD, accusations and untrue information?
A: No. We don't have enough time to check every single piece of information and verify the validity of the sources. Also, just like scams - too much room for bias and abuse.

However, trolling isn't allowed. If a user is habitually posting obviously false nonsense ("obviously false nonsense" to an outsider, NOT to someone who follows or is involved in the discussion) just to stir up trouble, then it's considered trolling, which is prohibited. Such cases should be thoroughly documented in the report though (There are tons of reports that just say "trolling", but moderators don't have time to look through each user's post).

I don't care what people want to say about this site. I always spread about bitcoin to new people, and if they are interested, I will introduce this site to them. Bitcoin is my life, and this place is my family.

You ain't the only one this has happened to, have been a victim of this where by it cost me to loose some bounty rewards stakes. Which all post I made wasn't in one day. I don't know if that was due to the site or probably a script the moderator was trying to test.

Deleted comments are not to silence users. basically all members have the same opportunity when they make comments. I have also experienced, many of my comments are deleted or reported by members. but I am not complaining about the incident. instead, I tried to fix and find the points of my mistakes in using this forum. just like you, my first year many of my posts were deleted, this does not make me discouraged in improving my post. Regarding the forum only for pumping bitcoin, you are very wrong, there are many analysis from members, they are racing to exchange ideas. they share price predictions fairly based on analysis not for bitcoin pumping on trading methods or they are using this forums and discussing topics about bitcoin bad or good at least they are giving true information

You have the freedom to talk about bitcoins and give your point of view. You posts won't be deleted even if you have a different point of view than a majority. Everyone have the rights to say whatever they feel is right, however trolling or using abusive language is not allowed and should not be tolerated.
