Locked topics, free speech

[Keawe]

 This is a section for general discussion about Bitcoin.  While I'm just enjoying some Earl Dibbles Jr.  music, must someone try to quiet my voice?  I get on here to find the topics locked?  I made the original forum for bitcoin, the least you could do is extend me the courtesy of allowing free and "open" discussion.  Lolz

I guess you are referring to this topic.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5483719.msg63592566#msg63592566

I taught it was locked by the Op (you) after getting all the replies and arguments you need, but if it’s not you and moderators locking the topic, then there should be a reason for that, either the thread is being spammed on or other reasons I can’t think of.

But by the way, why is the thread on Meta instead of the bitcoin discussion?

[_act_]

Ate you referring to this topic? If I'm Satoshi Nakamoto How do I prove it?

Or this topic? Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

Topics are locked by moderators if they know that there is no useful information that can be given again as some people have provided the information or has given the answers needed for the topic.

If you are not satisfied and you have a good reason for a topic to be unlocked, you can PM the moderator to unlock the topic but not this kind of topics of yours.

That shittopic was locked by a moderator after I reported it (4 days ago). None of OPs BS has anything to do with Meta. Go troll somewhere else.

I made the original forum for bitcoin

Trolls should be banned.

[acroman08]

damn, the OP went from "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" to "If I'm Satoshi Nakamoto How do I prove it?" and finally "I made the original forum for Bitcoin" 😂

I'm assuming we have a new Satoshi Nakamoto wannabe on the forum, they always bring comedy when they stumble on this forum and start posting.

anyway, you know what to do if you want to prove you are Satoshi.

Why shouldn't the topic be locked when you're referring to what is irrelevant for discussion, are you trying to make another troll to constitute what craig wright had started or you're just interested in spamming the forum, it's obvious that your thread would have received a lot of reports to the moderator before being locked, you should be thankful it was not deleted or moved to the off topic section.

[NotATether]

I guess wait for moderators to inspect the issue? If you didn't lock the topic yourself, then it is highly likely some staff member did it. Especially if there is no option for you to "unlock" the topic, in which case that means that the topic is archived and not just locked, and I think can be done only by a global moderator or administrator.

If a topic is useless, non sense and heaven for spam, it will be locked by moderator.

If that topic is worse than non sense, it will be moved to off-topic or even deleted.

Your topic was locked but was not moved to off-topic or Trash bin, means that moderator thought that there are enough answers in that topic and it should be locked.

[Lucius]

The OP is another one of those who convinced themselves that they did something without which even Bitcoin would not exist - so if they already claim that they participated in the creation of this forum, why don't they follow the rules of that same forum?

@Keawe, do you know about rule 32 that you broke in this topic?

[hilariousandco]

You yourself don't seem to care for free speech:

Please refrain from any form of free speech that offends anyone on here.  Lol BTC

Maybe your thread offended someone.

If you want to prove you created the forum then prove it or move on.

[joker_josue]

You make the assumption that I am claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, I never once said I was.  I did, help to or make the forum.  It's funny that no one believes me.  Lol. It's just a forum.  BTC

Saying that "make the forum" is very subjective, considering that your account is only 1 month old.

If you were one of the first to frequent this forum, what username did you have? Why don't you use it anymore? What's the point of hiding?

[Sandra_hakeem]

damn, the OP went from "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" to "If I'm Satoshi Nakamoto How do I prove it?" and finally "I made the original forum for Bitcoin" 😂

sometimes, I'm cut up tryna ask myself where and how these degenerates get the ballsiness to impersonate who they're not...
OP, If not for the very fact that anonymity is most guaranteed in here, and that we've seen similar dramas already, you'd be sued for this mess... Cus what's this?? I can also safely assume this to be an Alt account, created to troll and seek unusual popularity...

anyway, you know what to do if you want to prove you are Satoshi.

exactly!! OP better gets a life as this is provably nothing but the usual trolling... PROVE YOURSELF THEN!!!

Oh... LoL. @OP, I saw that topic the day it was created but ignored it because there was really no educational knowledge the topic can add to the forum, I also ignored because I assumed it will be deleted but I guess you were even lucky that the topic was not deleted. In the past, some few members too have always raise same imagination while they know that in reality they can not become Satoshi, so why imagine it when it's 100% not going to be possible?

Come up with creative ideas dude...

[PytagoraZ]

Bullying in a forum doesn't make you tough.  Changing the entire world and the way people transact does.  Be more like Satoshi, quiet so you can think.  BTC

Bullying? I was probably like you in the past, arguing a lot and feeling pressured by famous members on forums. But after I went back to reading my posts in the past, I thought about how stupid I was in the past.

That's good advice, give an example like Satoshi who is quiet and humble, but it seems like you are not quiet and humble enough. Yes, I know sometimes giving advice is easier than applying it to yourself

I still remember, it seems LoyceV dah The Skeptical Chymist gave me advice to have a thick skin on the forum. Maybe you can try like that, but if you still want to argue and question your freedom in the forum, no one is stopping you, you can speak up and let go of everything that's on your mind, and I want to see what great thoughts are in your head. Good luck, buddy  

[Majestic-milf]

 I don't see how your posts won't be locked when they have little to nothing to offer other than you contradicting yourself? We've seen Satoshi wannabes getting exhausted with trying to keep up the character and later moving on to something else and I don't think it's late for you too. Making a big deal out of a thread that was locked for obvious reasons just shows you want attention your way so bad as if the thread in question did not get you that enough.

yeah right. You know you are right. Satoshi would have spent his time more on figuring how to make transactions easier as he has done by introducing Bitcoin and I feel you are trying to be like him, no? Then try and stop making shit posts that have little to contribute other than creating an unnecessary mess.

I took my time to browse through your opened threads and I discovered that only a few of them were closed and they were the ones with Satoshi Nakamoto. I think it is because such threads are not so weighty with the way you constructed them, and this is coupled with the fact that similar threads had been opened in the past. I mean lots of them.

You should know that the forum moderation has standards that ordinary users like us will not know. The fact that the moderator didn't delete it but only locked it means that it is still appropriate but just too much in the forum. That's my opinion by the way.

[FatFork]

You are an idiot (imho)! Forum rules do not allow idiocy, such as spamming and trolling. Moderators have the right to delete posts, lock the topic or even ban members who do not respect the rules of the forum. Of course, you're always welcome to engage in constructive discussions and share your thoughts on any topic. That's what freedom of speech is all about!

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Yes!!  Justice prevails on bitcointalk!  But seriously, I haven't noticed any threads getting locked by the mods for being idiotic as of late, though that could be because the creators of those turds don't make a big stink about it like OP is here.  It's nice to see mods taking some action by actually locking unnecessary threads, and I give 'em props for doing so.

While I'm just enjoying some Earl Dibbles Jr.  music, must someone try to quiet my voice? 

Maaan, you could be listening to Kool Moe Dee on a ghetto boom box in your unsanitary bathroom and it wouldn't matter.  Don't start up stupid threads in which shitposters can shitpost.  There's too much of that going on, and you're not helping the forum by trying to be a writer.

He is already doing that from the look of things here, look at the way the first thread ended being locked, here, he's on it once again, things like this sucks honestly, this is not a section to be accommodating twat posts like this, i don't think this guy is ready to change or willing to take in on every advise already giving him from these thread, the more he continues the likely he becomes closer to getting tags, more deleted posts, locked threads and even ban as the case may worsen if he goes against the rules.

[Stalker22]

I haven't tried to argue with anyone.   I'm not really the argumentative confrontational type.  Apologies.  

I don't see an issue with having debates or talks if you have solid arguments and stuff to talk about.  This is a discussion platform, after all.

However, making claims like "I'm Satoshi" or "I made this forum" without offering any proof or rationale makes it seem you havent thought stuff through and just makes you look stupid.

I do like to write code though and that's why I'm back on the forums.  It's a strange feeling to revisit the past.  Aloha everyday

What do you mean by "I'm back on the forum"? Your account is less than a month old.  Are you making empty claims again?

The author of the topic implies that he is supposedly Satoshi Nakamoto and was absent from the forum for a long time, and now he decided to return to the forum after a long absence by registering a new account Strange that he didn't want to use his old account

[Mpamaegbu]

This is a section for general discussion about Bitcoin.

Nope, not really. Meta is a section of the forum that discusses happenings in the forum. It's not about Bitcoin per se.

...must someone try to quiet my voice?

I ain't sure anyone would want to do that if you didn't infringe or break any rule in the forum. If your thread is locked, it could be that mods thought it redundant or off topic. You shouldn't take that to heart. Learn from it and move on. Again, one of the things you should learn first week of being here is that the forum doesn't tolerate anyone claiming to be Satoshi. Anything of such or similar to that is sacrilegious here.

Who is Satoshi Nakamato?
If I am Satoshi Nakamato, how do I prove it?
How will you feel if I tell you that I am Satoshi?
I made the original forum for bitcoin
I regret creating bitcoin.
I have the private key to the address that received the genesis block.
I have Satoshi letter I want to sell yo you all.
I no longer want to remain anonymous.
I am Satoshi Nakamato.

While I'm just enjoying some Earl Dibbles Jr.  music, must someone try to quiet my voice?

To use your example of enjoying music as an analogy to free speech, you're free to enjoy that but you still have to understand not everyone likes or enjoys the music that you're listening to so the best thing that you can do is to be considerate to those that don't want to hear your music, you're free to play that but you have to respect those that don't want to hear that music.

I have gone through op post history and I must say there is every possibility for some of his topic/post to be deleted and locked because he is posting out of context and if those post doesn't make any meaning then mod or admin has to wipe them off or can be locked.
Sometimes we need to be rational enough on what we are posting here, giving much work to mod is really heavy on them so we should try as much as possible to reduce some form of spam post.

Not only him, including others of his likes, if they escape the members report on their post, then will definitely not escape the hands of the moderators by deleting their posts, I will also applaud as many of the active members who always get into this, reporting such post to the moderators whenever one is sighted, people needs to learn how to go by rules and not how they feels like doing this, this is one of the reasons why this forum is top rated with high reputation because it is well moderated.

[Casdinyard]

Saw from LoyceV what you're talking about and I must say, you kinda had it coming with those weak-ass posts lol.

Forum's come far from the Satoshi Nakamoto-centric posts and the ones that you have made in regards to this thread you created are just a little too weak to my tastes. Initially I thought you had your own thread locked cause you already got your answers but I guess you just got your thread locked cause it was way too elementary. Next time, focus more on creating worthwhile content that are thought-provoking, or perhaps don't create posts at all if you couldn't do that.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to create constructive and smart posts anyway, just conduct your own researches, all it takes is a single search on google and it shouldn't take you a while after to find really compelling crypto-related topics that doesn't just involve Satoshi Nakamoto's identity cause it's all been established that he's not gonna show up now or ever. He's living his own life now having fun with the billions he inadvertently made . Invest in knowledge, create constructive posts, and I'd bet you your sweet bippy that you won't get your posts locked next time.

[Ambatman]

Good thing I searched for an issue similar to mine and not creating a thread
The thing is my Thread was locked without my notice and was surprised to see it today
Was curious the reason it was locked
It's stated it was done by an admin and can't be unlocked(felt like touching the unlock button)


Truth is am not used to locking thread
I was of the notion that the traffic would fade and everybody would move on

[Mrbluntzy]

Bitcoin talk is a very reputable forum that usually regulate every content or discussion that isn't adding value to the platform. If your topic was locked or deleted that means it is a low effort post and is probably going to only make shit posters to comment rubbish. Don't take it serious, this platform allows every member to speak freely but there are other things that can be frown at such as spamming and shitposting despite that freedom of speech is allowed.
