Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free

[LoyceV]

This is so I can get whitelisted.

I don't think you understand what this is about.

I can't login to Protonmail's .onion site anymore, and it hasn't worked for over a week. Today, I used the clearnet site (and whitelisted 2 users (sorry for the delay)), but this isn't how Protonmail is supposed to work.

Lol Today, I received this email:

I am asking to get the proxyban removed because I want to speak and engage with conversations related to alt/shitcoins outside of Bitcoin. As I have been researching the subject for a bit. I also want to comment and wish people good luck with the products that they decide to sell here.

I usually wouldn't share emails, but this contains no identifying information and it's just too funny not to.

Needless to say, I'm not whitelisting him. At least he's honest

On a general note: sending me chatbot verbal diarrhea isn't going to get you whitelisted!

Wants to discuss only shitcoins and nothing related to Bitcoin on a Bitcoin forum? nay nay, such a big move from someone who just shot himself in the head without knowing - I'm sure that message was for the admin of the other forum because it sounds so bizarre 

To be honest, if I came across such a user, I would whitelist him for the sake of the altcoins discussion board, which is already swamped with spam and desperately needs some new faces with experience to improve discussion.

Some dude asked me to send him some BTC to pay the evil fee cause his mining machines were down and the email didn't contain any suggestion at humour at all, I found it regardless.

You shouldn't have aired that out, they'll change their approach now.

I have many more criteria to reject requests. But I'd be happy if they stop sending me AI-crap.

Are you sure those people who send random bot crap make out time to read from this thread?

LoyceV, I want to know... It is almost 3 years this thread was created. Is there any user whitelisted by you or your team members that has risen to the rank of a Hero member?

I don't have "a team"
Feel free to check the list, but I'll highlight some of the more obvious users: Synchronice, n0nce and PowerGlove. I can't know for sure if they would otherwise have paid the evil fee, created a new account (with a less cool name), or just have abandoned the forum (that's what I would have done if I had to pay to register) after their proxyban, but I'm glad I could whitelist them. To highlight: 0.7% of all Merit ever sent was sent to users who I whitelisted. Obviously I can't take the credit for this, those users earned their Merits by themselves, but I'm glad I could contribute a bit. With only 8^* banned whitelisted users so far, I consider this a big win for the forum.

Sometimes, innocent people become collateral damage. This is generally considered as unfair and very unwelcoming.

It still is.
