Lock Russian section.

[xenon131]

Theymos, pls. Russians kill innocent people in Ukraine, children and women including. The representatives of that nation have no moral right to be on this forum.


I would suggest to ban all Russians from entering this forum and lock Russian section.

Your issue is with a Russian dictator and not exactly the people of Russia (however some people will be complicit/supportive of the dictator).

I'm not sure how many are in support of the war but until misinformation is spread in the Russian section about it and there's probably not a problem, it'll likely remain where it is.

You might also end up cutting off people from the forum that have come from Russia and need help from Russian speaking members of the forum in other areas of the world (eg the borders to Europe weren't closed to people leaving Russia and some ended up in EU countries and didn't want to return - this is what I've seen on other social medias anyway).

ftw this is probably worst forum suggestion I heard recently, and russian section is most active with some great members and contributors.
Should we also ban members from ALL other countries that ever started some war in the world or they are ''better''?
I am sure theymos should then ban all of us including himself in the end, but bounty cheaters should be banned first.

Theymos, a truck driver killed 105 people in Italy, ban all Italians drivers in this forum, they don't have the morale right to be here.

Again, Putin is a dictator, Putin is a Russian, therefore all the Russians are dictators and should be banned.

Will it interest you to know that even if Putin happen to be a member of bitcointalk, he won't be banned. So, it holds no water to call for the ban of all Russians.

Bitcointalk is like Bitcoin it is not a political group that imposes sanctions.

So all Russian citizens are now murderers?

Have you also killed Innocent People in Ukraine? Because I see you have been an active poster in the Russian Board.

The representatives of that nation have no moral right to be on this forum.

I would like you to point out Putin's account since he is one of the representatives of that Nation. Maybe I could throw him some red tags.

Funny coming from someone who has 40% of his posts in that board. Perhaps you are not happy because of some negative feedback you received recently.

[RapTarX]

How come anyone be such rude?
What the forum members have to do with the war? Personally, for me, everyone in this forum around the world certainly share the same thoughts/belief & we shouldn’t take other things into consideration. That's my personal standard/belief. Why would theymos lock Russian section? People here from Russia has also the same vision/goal/beliefs. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have registered here.
I guess your recommendation has no point.

Lol.

I completely agree and I think it is this thread that should be locked but it will not be locked out of respect for freedom of speech. I bet that if some forum members come here supporting what the OP says they will be trolls of recognized prestige.

I think Meta should be locked for a few weeks until a moderator is found for it. Lately nothing gets deleted or moved... if it's something something forum something something theymos then it must be a meta topic and a bunch of lemmings start "discussing" it

Yes, they are silently supporting this war.

 I'm not Russian. I was active in that section  but now I would even not dump in the vicinity of  any Russians.

I'm cracking up at the thought of this. If Putin did have an active account here, it would definitely have been spammed with "Untrustworthy, I wouldn't trade with him" tags, but with much more vulgar language.

No no, calm your nerves mate, this is absolutely out of it, we are angry at what Russia did to Ukraine, but remember that its one man we are talking about , and not the entire Russian citizens.
You can't ask Theymos to lock an entire country out of bitcointalk just because of one man, yes, we understand that there are people of Russia supporting putin and his decisions, but we don't know who this set of people are yet, we don't even know if they are members of this forum, if we knew them, maybe we can ask Theymos to ban them individually, but as long as we don't know, it is absolutely inappropriate to ban an entire country from accessing bitcointalk for the sin of one man which many in the country are likely not in support of.

+1

Poorly constructed nonsense threads such as this should go directly to the trashcan. I just reported it, let's see how it goes.

Edit: it's marked bad.

For what it's worth, it's an inquiry about the forum and fits in the meta board. It could rub some people the wrong way and be somewhat not constructive, but heavy moderation in a discussion board related to the forum might be counter productive.

This of course means we'll have to deal with a bit of shit posts.

[skarais]

We all know war is a terrible thing to remember and experience and the impact of war is the killing of innocent people including children, women and the elderly. You certainly know that there are many Palestinian children and innocent people killed by wars involving Israel and Palestine, so do you think all Israelis should also be banned from this forum?

What needs to be done now is, evacuate the innocent people in the war zone to a safe area because the Governments of Ukraine and Russia still have no plans to achieve peace. Forbidding Russian users to post anything here is discriminatory in my opinion.

Yes, they are silently supporting this war.

if it is silently, how do you know about it? I mean it can't be silently if some random people know about that. If you see that any one of the Russian users speaks a war propaganda you have to report it, everything else you suggest is nonsense.

[meser#]

Yes, innocent people dies in Ukraine , but i believe we have Russian friends in this forum who do not want these situation.  We must not punish them because of their dictator's faults. I have many Russian friends and they are also against to this situation. With such actions you are racist towards this good hearted people.There are only good and bad people in this world. Let's not lose our humanity before its too late. Otherwise there will be no world to live in peacefully

It isn't and it doesn't.

Even if these were valid Meta topics, they should be locked after a short reply from admin, instead of allowing the shit to flow freely.

But hey, if we didn't have double standards here, we wouldn't have any standards at all.

[PX-Z]

Stop blaming russians for what their state leaders movements and actions in relation of war. Soon as their government isolate the country's internet lately you can't see them posting and active again on that board, unless some of them risks their lives to do it

[philipma1957]

So the ballsy Russian news lady that protested Putin would be a villain according to the op.

https://www.updatednews.com/world/europe/42259


we could wake up in the morning and Putin could resign.
and the russian board here could have a part in it.

The best shot for peace is russian people continually saying fuck you to Putin.

And this website could help via btc profit.

I would suggest to ban all Russians from entering this forum and lock Russian section.

I am Ukrainian and I am against it 

The Russian section does not belong to Russian users, it is the core of all Russian-speaking bitcoiners, regardless of their country of residence.
