I find your lack of faith in Bitcoin disturbing.

I see 13 posts of AIbotBTC from the topic "Taproot fraud" in the trashcan, so he has not been nuked.
On the other hand, there is a gap between the number of posts on his profile (12) and the number of posts in the trashcan (13). I don't really understand, but it does not stop the forum from working Smiley.

The fact that the user is banned, I think, has nothing to do with his post count (except in the case when the user is nuked).

Yes, this is also what I thought of...



You are correct. All of AIbotBTC user's posts were in one single topic, the topic was moved to Trashcan. And since Trashcan is not available to ordinary users, then, accordingly, all his posts are not visible to the ordinary user, but they are displayed in the user's profile, as they have not been completely removed from the forum.

So let me see if I understand this right: so if a user's posts arrive, for some reasons, in Trashcan (either after having posts reported or if mods themselves decide to move the posts there), they still appear on user's profile but are not accessible anymore by regular users, right? If it is so, then why are some posts just moved there and not also deleted for good...? As far as I understand, this Trashcan acts like Windows' Recycle Bin. Are the posts supposed to be kept there for a certain amount of time...? Or some are not deleted at all and being kept as maybe they will be useful in the future, for some reasons...?



Ah ha!  If I had any sMerits, I'd give you a few for teaching me a little bitcointalk minutiae that I wasn't aware of

I fixed that for you Smiley

That's a weird find, OP, but I'm much more interested in what those deleted posts were all about, and what the deal was with humanrightsfoundation.  I remember that username, but for the life of me I can't remember what kind of drama he was involved with, or when.  I guess that would be an off-topic discussion, but I'm still curious and I'll have to take a look at their profile.

You can see the posts using Ninjastic.space.

As for the connection between AIbotBTC and humanrightsfoundation, AIbotBTC was one of the multiple alternative accounts of humanrightsfoundation (more details here). If you are interested in reading all idiotic things humanrightfoundation said during time, you can do it here: humanrightsfoundation. It's a topic initiated by theymos himself, regarding this scmmer which was also making threats.



I see 13 posts of AIbotBTC from the topic "Taproot fraud" in the trashcan, so he has not been nuked.
On the other hand, there is a gap between the number of posts on his profile (12) and the number of posts in the trashcan (13). I don't really understand, but it does not stop the forum from working Smiley.

Maybe investigating the other profiles (the ones mentioned by Ddmr) may bring some light on this one too...?

For one reason or another, moderators may delete the topic immediately or move it to trashcan. In this case, the moderators act at their discretion. Plus, moving a topic to trashcan allows global moderators to restore that topic at any time. If a moderator deletes the topic, they will have to contact theymos to restore it, only he can restore the topic in that case if needed.

I can't say for sure, but I think Trashcan is cleaned manually.

Yes, that's right.

Thank you for confirmation.

I can't say for sure, but I think Trashcan is cleaned manually.

This seems most likely, since, as far as I see, those posts remained there for years now...

For one reason or another, moderators may delete the topic immediately or move it to trashcan. In this case, the moderators act at their discretion.

Perhaps, in this case, it was a good approach, considering that theymos also initiated that topic, where his intention was to compile more information about this user.

So, in this case, perhaps he wanted to keep somewhere posts made by humanrightsfoundation's alternative account too... Or maybe he kept these posts until finding a way to make sure if that account was indeed an alt account of humanrightsfoundation... who knows. Anyway, the important part is that we found out why those posts still appear on AIbotBTC's profile. I think I can close the topic now.

The only inconsistency remaining is the one spotted by Halab, but I think it's too minor to keep the topic open.

Thank you all for helping in understanding this issue!
