Appeal the ban "CoinIdol News" account

I noticed them yesterday, and reported both threads - one was deleted, and the moderator apparently liked the other and is still active for now. One would think that they have changed their modus operandi after so long, but they continue exactly where they left off.

It appears that both threads have now been deleted. I'm not sure, but it seems like the user has not been banned this time.

Makes you wonder why.

I keep saying it, but at some point allowing people like this back and allowing the dumpster fire that is the altcoins / tokens section and allowing a bunch of other disruptive users is going to drive more people away from here. I already know that there are users like myself that are using other places to talk BTC. Not because we don't want to be here, but because it's better there.

Was CoinIdol News banned permanently, and then they got unbanned? If so, then mods need to revise the decision, CoinIdol News is of the most annoying spam account I have ever come across here. No way mods can let such a knob-head have a second chance here. If it was just a temporary ban with a warning then I understand, but clearly they haven't changed, have they?

I gave up reporting spam a long time ago since we never ban the spammers or take action against the spam campaigns which enable them.

Free speech is one thing, which I completely support and have long defended. However, allowing bots to repeatedly smear shit all over the boards is another entirely. It never ceases to amaze me the lengths this forum will go to to ensure that absolute trash is allowed to ruin the experience for everyone else.

IMO it's time for moderator to consider longer temporary ban (2 years or more) or even permanent ban.

Who cares at this point? It's now been over three years since we started loudly complaining about users such as this one. Three years we have wasted time reporting, getting posts deleted, getting threads trashed, posting about it in Meta, continually asking for intervention, and still this bot is allowed to shit all over the Press board. If this account actually got miraculously banned today, they could open a new one tomorrow and it would take us until ~2026 to get that new one banned.

It is quite clear this bot should have had a permaban three years ago. If the mods/admins don't give a shit, then I'm done wasting my time with it. You should be too. Just hit ignore and move on.

Your position and the position of some other respected members of the forum is your personal matter, but they should not influence others to follow your example. The ignore button exists for a reason, but not for the reason that we all turn our heads to the other side and let everyone do what they want.

You gave up on the Press board, but that does not mean that good work was not done there and that some other members cleaned that board of those who were abusing it. It literally took me 10-15 seconds to report those two threads, and if new ones appear in two days or two months, I will gladly sacrifice another 10-15 seconds to do the same.

Well feel free, but you are wasting your time. Reporting these threads should not be necessary, and neither should this discussion we are having, because this user should have been permabanned three years ago.
