Moderator Abuse & DT Bias: Unfair Targeting of New Member howardsentell

Fellow forum users,

I’ve been digging deep into mod and DT activity using tools like Grok over the past 2 weeks, and it’s confirmed my suspicions: high-probability ties between moderators, Legendary/DT members, and biased actions favoring cliques while targeting outsiders unfairly.

I’ve made two separate posts partially regarding this issue which ill reference here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5557161.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277761.60

Moving on,

Just over the past week a prime example of this type of behavior has unfolded and is ongoing. Targeting and harassment of new member howardsentell profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3725863

Over the past week, howardsentell—running self-moderated buy threads for collectibles—has been hit hard:

* Accusations & Harassment: In this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5566907.0, Howard is falsely being accused of harassment, wasting other members time, false claims of him giving half a million dollars to buy trust, and others. But it escalates with DT/Legendary members like anonymousminer and MoparMining LLC issuing insults (“moron,” “idiot” “No love for Howard”), negative trust, and mockery—clear power abuse from those “protected” by DT status.

* Mod Involvement & Deletions: Mods have anonymously deleted posts and buried his buy threads deep in pages without reason, stifling visibility. (Attaching screenshots as proof— threads pushed to obscurity, posts vanished unjustly.) This isn’t self-moderation; it’s coordinated to discredit & bury Howards voice so it disappears.

* No Merit to Rumors: Accusations lack backing—no proof to substantiate  bad behavior or prior issues from Howard. No history of abuse/harassment beyond the reputation accusation against Howard thread.

This unfolding mess (thread started Nov 29, active to Dec 19) highlights broader problems: DT cliques bullying newcomers, mods enabling it anonymously. If Satoshi’s vision was fair discussion, why allow this? Has anyone else seen mods/DT burying threads or deleting posts biasedly? I’d like some transparency.

References:
* Profile: Clean, no priors.
* Accusation Thread: Full of DT-led attacks; deletions noted.
* Searches: Limited to this incident—no widespread abuse record.

Howard has had his posts removed anonymously and without reason and his buy threads buried anonymously without reason.

Here is a picture showcasing his “Buy” Thread being buried (which also featured harassment and off topic comments made by DT members)

Snapshot taken yesterday (Showcasing Howard’s Thread was no where to be found)


Snapshot taken yesterday (I saved the link to the thread following Howard’s actively as well as other members) I bumped the thread putting it back on the 1st page. (Showcasing his post on the first page yesterday)


Snapshot taken today (Showcasing Howard’s Buy thread is no where to be found AGAIN)


Lastly, here is a link to Howard’s Buy Thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5565969.0

(Note: Howards Buy thread is being un organically buried but he has since bumped his thread and it’s back on the first page)

_______________________________________________________________________________

New Addition (A few hours after initial post):

Here is a reference to a topic I later created after Howard had attempted to address this issue by creating his own post but to no avail having it deleted twice by an anonymous “moderator” without explanation. The topic regards Shill Bidding. A topic which Howard attempted to address but was unjustly ignored/denied/silenced without any explanation or reason.

(The topic created in Honor of deleted post)

(Dead link/Link that was deleted by mods/no explanation or reason)
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5568351.0

Note: this topic/discussion was initially created by Howard “Shill Bidding” was deleted twice without explanation.

Fellow forum users,

I’ve been digging deep into mod and DT activity using tools like Grok over the past 2 weeks,

No, you didn't. You went into your conversation with Grok with an agenda, it told you what you wanted to hear, and then you pasted what it said into this thread. You're not the first person to do this, either.

(Note: Howards Buy thread is being un organically buried but he has since bumped his thread and it’s back on the first page)

So that's proof its not being "buried"... Your screenshots are hard to read and one doesn't even have the date/time on it which means whatever comparison you're asking us to perform can't be done.

Then you have this post by you, which was also deleted:



So... are you just like this guy's biggest fan, or what?

[anonymousminer]

I know this will be deleted, but this OP is VERY LOST... those howard threads move because howard deletes posts which backs it up based on date of the last post, then he reposts with the new item he is looking for.
If the OP actually paid attention, he would know this.  Instead he puts on his tin foil hat and thinks there is some forum conspiracy.  LMAO!!!  
Howard changes that buy thread every couple of days as to what items he is looking for.... that's why it moves.  

The OP is just an moron who is just blinded by his vendetta!!  

You can find his pissing, moaning and AI filled word vomit all over this forum nowadays.

Have a nice day!


EDIT:
I'll bet this whole thread gets deleted when the OP realizes their stupidity is front and center for all to see...

What huge waste of time it was making this thread.  


**Please keep in mind, this is coming from an OP who believes there is nothing wrong with selling sheets of key pairs he made for people to use**

This user LACKS any and all credibility!

Feel free to read my references, I in fact have been.

More than anything I’m just hoping the harassment towards Howard will come to an end. I’m sure making this public will likely stop the harassment/deletion/burying of his threads/posts but if it doesn’t that’s just more evidence. I also hope that by exposing these types of behavior it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Also I’ll try to clear up the images. They are clear on my end but turned fuzzy when I uploaded them. Also the time stamps I probably can find in the meta data. The times stamps listed naturally by the threads/posts themselves can indicate that the snapshots were taken as I indicated. (No longer relevant, recanted/My apologies/feel free to address the other concerns)

I put this information together quickly this morning as I had some other errands to accomplish but planned on answering/addressing questions/issues related to the post in time.

Changing the topic name doesn’t move a post in pages, I’ve changed a topics name many times before in the past and never has it decided to bury itself due to a name change.

I will admit to being wrong in regards to the placement of Howard’s post. Anonymousminer, you are correct deleting posts in a thread (including self-moderated ones) on BitcoinTalk can change its placement in the board’s page listings. In this case I recant the part where posts were moved and the photos regarding there movement really have no relevance at this point.

I am Happy to recant part of what the thread previously asserted, although that still doesn’t explain why certain posts of his are being deleted without reason or explain why DT members are so gun hoe on attacking a Newbie.

I am more than willing to admit to mistakes and amend them. I’m happy you were able to stay on topic with only throwing a couple insults this time.

I won’t address the reason why I gave you a red trust in an unrelated discussion. Although it’s starting to tie into it.

Still would like to keep the thread open regarding the other issues I mentioned to have them cleared/clarified.
