Biased or brainless moderators?

[ChrissB]

I created a thread to offer trending services - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399541.0

Someone hijacked my thread and posted their promotional services within the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399541.msg60185895#msg60185895 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399541.msg60193032#msg60193032

There is a user who even complained the same https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399541.msg60192731#msg60192731

The real problem starts when I reported his replies but the mods decided not to delete them, while when I tried to do the same in his thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399598.0 the moderators deleted my post within hours - https://prnt.sc/Bj3KYmFU-EsH

Can anyone explain is it biased moderating or I missed something? Sorry I am still quite new here but I know the rules.

If doing a Thread like the one you have created already next time you see on the left side when you creating the thread +Additional Options...
Click on it and then you have the option to make your thread self moderated , this means you can moderate your thread by yourself and can delete some kind of messages you dont wont.
Just in case you dont know about that option for the future.
You can also lock your already open thread and or delete it and make a new one with self moderation on.

OP, you're selling a sketchy service from what I can tell, so you'll get no sympathy from me--but I'll tell you that if you're getting this upset about that single idiot posting his referral link in your thread; retaliating in one of his threads; and creating a new thread to complain about moderation, this isn't the forum for you.  Thicken that skin up, because this forum is brutal.

I would also add that the post you're bitching about was made less than two days ago.  Sometimes it takes a while for mods to act.  Obviously you haven't noticed the massive amount of garbage posts all over the forum.  The moderators get deluged with reports, so you just have to be patient.

It might be worth mentioning that making self moderated threads offering services here while you're a newbie might raise suspicions with both the mods and the people you're looking to work for - you're better off just waiting for mods.

It probably isn't much to worry about either because anyone reading the thread will see your post first and will have clicked it for that - also if your report is marked as "unhandled" it could mean the mods haven't got round to checking it yet (they notice obvious things very quickly, the more subtlething can take up to a few days but sometimes they're fast too).

So, let me get this straight; you falsify interest in shit-scam-coins, and now some other shitbird who falsifies interest in shit-scam-coins is shitting all over your thread?  I just want to make sure I understand term "trending services" correctly.

Lol.  That lack of clarification is the reason why I didn't blast OP with both barrels--but I'm not sure what else those two words could mean in the context of the thread he created.  It sounds like SEO for shitcoins, and I don't even want to know how it's done.

Yeah, you're right. I wanted to say that in response to Lafu's comment on the OP going the way of self moderation. It's a no-no for a noob account.

Again, like The Pharmacist suggested; OP needs to tougher up and stay on their lane after reporting the issue to mods and not head over to the offender's thread to start a war. Doing that gives the offender a cynical pleasure that they're getting at OP's emotion.

Not the kind of attitude one would expect from someone trying to "offer a service" to potential customers.

When you made a report to the moderators, was it marked as "bad" or "unhandled"? If it's still unhandled, then you will have to be patient until the post gets deleted and stop insulting them instead.

Your reply on your thread to the already deleted hijack is what's wrong about your whole approach;

I reported this hijack but looks like mods are sleeping so I will hijack his thread in return of this.

What next after retaliatory spam? Feedbacks? PMs to mods?

If your first action to perceived wrong, is to immediately retaliate, then you should not complain about the system as you did not give sufficient time for action to be taken or inquire what caused the delay.

Ignoring your 'services" as well, we have to still treat that topic like any other topic because scams and other shits are not moderated

The reply you've quoted here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399541.msg60192411#msg60192411
has been deleted.

So rather than arguing endlessly and trying to get back, why don't you post a screenshot of your report page?
Are your reports marked as bad or unhandled, because unhandled could mean a mod hasn't made it to that report yet?
