I wanted to stay out of the drama - honestly! Since the thread has occupied me last night for several hours and I have lain awake but I must get rid of a few things. Started now at 10:35 in my time zone.
But since I was asked several times by users to take a stand (because they either do not have the opportunity to do that in English or also (sad but is so) are afraid to stand up for their opinion) I may now take over.
The things that are coming now were not said/commanded/wanted or whatever by anyone. This is my neutral view of the situation in which we find ourselves.
Is this now about Unknown01 and the accusations from the first post?
Or in general about the German subboard?
If yes then maybe we should start a new thread and not drift completely into off-topic.
But since there are already so many accusations in the room, a few words from me:
@Kamix
In my opinion the statements of Unknown01 towards you, which were mentioned here several times, did not exist in this form and 2. NeuroticFish created a short discussion about this topic in the Meta:
Is one forum rule needed?Result: Even if he had said it, it would not have been a rule violation. But since it wasn't, I see even less than no problem here.
In the tone, you both were out of line. But whether a Hero to Jr. or Jr. to Hero - netiquette has not been met by either.
@all
There is no point in translating various statements, because the small details and subtleties are lost, but they are crucial.
Unknown01 has never threatened Kamix with a ban. But that's exactly what is mentioned here again and again and that's the basis for many other accusations that are in the room.
This would take away the basis of the thread but that was never the point here. On such a statement was only waited so that a campaign against a few users can be started.
You can see that
here and meanwhile also
here.
@1miau
Is that necessary?
No one has had more double posts in recent months that had to be merged by me.
Nobody in our area has deleted texts 1:1 posted again except you.
And you even several times as for example
here +
here and in addition you tell me to continue with it until I do not also remove contribution X or Y that does not correspond to your opinion!
And in addition I had for weeks 99% (or more) of all reports from Nestade and you. Every post I've read 3 or 10 times and either deleted (or not) came back again and again until I eventually gave in or had to press a button to get it to the next moderator.
Is this behavior supposed to be okay?
Who always rides on the rules should also keep them themselves. I have never made a big barrel out of it but maybe now is the right time.
I also see the loss of quality in the German forum but in my opinion that also has to do with the departure of e.g. asche, aundroid, bob123, tyKiwanuka to name a few.
Is it because of Corona? Maybe. Is it because of the situation in the world? Maybe. But no one has ever said to me that he leaves the forum because the other users are too bad. If it is the mood and we can only work together!
If a handful of users put the complete energy in a series of unnecessary threads that are inappropriate here in the forum anyway and I quasi 100% of my time for this. So unfortunately weekly XX hours are lost which we could use sensibly to make the forum a better place.
So not only criticize but also bring constructive solution proposals would help. And that WITHOUT insulting anyone - Lafu has shown how it works.
(Here at this point I had a few sentences and clarifications to the other users who have participated in the thread but I have rather removed again. Brings only more trouble to cause but please stay on topic and do not mix here again X things. Because if we now bring here in addition to the topic Trust the Merits in the game and you look at who/when/where for which has awarded in recent times then it shows an interesting picture of the users involved).
The Corona topic has split our forum. Other topics have followed from it and by then the fronts were already hardened.
I have tried everything that is possible for me... Examples?

15-06-2022 I have asked my colleagues from the staff for help or information on how to deal with the whole issue.
Unfortunately, there is no general answer and therefore I tried to deal with the issue on my own. Probably we should have nipped all topics that do not concern the crypto environment in the bud right away.

30-04-2021 the question if we should ban Corona from the forum:
Corona Thread schließen?On
17-05-2021 the decision to leave it open but delete everything that violates netiquette:
Corona Thread - finale Abstimmung!Went briefly well but then the censorship outcry was immediately large again.
When I announced to edit only real rule violations and not to work off every report (which in my opinion is not justified) my own posts (
here and
here) were reported to me.
I am not an instrument that you can use for your own purposes! There are rules and we all have to follow them.
Any other moderator would have reacted quite differently, but you have to understand that I, as a person with incredibly good nerves, no longer have any. Since the topic as I said now even de sleep robs me must change something.
I want peace in my life and after X months of chaos and hostility I have no more patience.
It is in the meantime no more joy to visit the forum.
Neither can I care about topics that interest me nor can I enjoy it here because we only have hate and unnecessary discussions.
There is no goal and no end. You can color your accounts in some (DT) colors or whatever.
Bitcointalk stands for free speech and nothing will change - If it does then theymos, cyrus or mprep will tell me and then I will change my way of working.... as long as this does not happen and also e.g.
here nothing happens here in this direction I behave with the rules accordingly correctly.
But I can not understand why a few of you are constantly trying to teach other users, to insult (both sides) and to exploit board resources in order to censor them.
If the German forum is bad you can be in the English part of Bitcointalk.
If the forum in general is so bad then stop trying to change it and maybe look for an alternative.
Everything written here is not defamation, hostility or trying to make the situation worse. I just want the Bitcointalk back that I was always impressed by with full conviction. Unfortunately, it is no longer that way currently.
And no I do not trivialize war + abhor violence (I just wanted to mention specifically so that this is clear and I am not still put in the wrong corner).
I don't know if all this was a good idea?
Probably not and I think it will also be prepared about or actually against me somewhere or can be found but I have to live with it.
I have spoken here not only for me but for a few more users (which is also my task as a moderator) and hope now to have clarified a few things.
I am neither friends nor enemies with any of the users involved here. I am also not on either side. I just want to get some peace in (at least) our part of the forum and finally discuss meaningful topics again.
End at 11:48 of my time zone.
Thank you (all) for letting me (again) invest so much time (~70 minutes) in topics that are of absolutely no use to anyone.
Click on ignore, rate yourselves as you like but don't constantly make ALL users in the German area bad because 99,8% can't do anything for your differences.
In this sense - have a nice day and maybe we should all go back a few steps to look at various topics again with some distance to not get stuck for eternity.
