This Thread Should Be Pinned In Beginners & Help Board.

Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free.

The thread was created by LoyceV and the thread talked about removing the Proxyban and the reason why the Ban is on some new account that is being created, so a thread like this should be pinned in the Beginners & Help Board so we won’t constantly be seeing thread being created by newbies to ask about the Proxyban.
Within this month I have seen 2 or 3 thread created just for this Proxyban issue, this matter is a very serious issue for newbies and the thread that has answers to all that, should be pinned in Beginners & Help board, it will help reduce thread created in meta board to ask about the Ban.

I don't think it's necessary IMO, Proxyban and evil fee exists for abuse of IP addresses that are banned from a particular region and over time, it get lifted.
If you openly make a kind gesture solution to the big problem of the forum for new accounts, the purpose of the help will be defeated and LoyceV might even close the thread and those who genuinely need it might not get the use.

It better remains that way.

LoyceV may not need an heavy loan. Did you ask him if he wish the thread to be pinned? He did not request the thread to be pinned.

Do you know that there are other members which Theymos referred to as veteran that can also whitelist new users on this forum? People in their community on this forum will know them.

Having a topic that has lists of all members that can whitelist users will be better so it will not become a burden for only one person.

It is not compulsory that LoyceV will attend to everyone at same time or attend to them at all, when the thread is pinned newbies with such ban issues won’t be creating thread on meta board to ask why the account they created was banned since the reason for that is already on the pinned thread.
If you check all the newbies coming to meta board to ask this question they are all directed to this thread created by LoyceV so why not just pin it on the Beginners & Help Board.

I love your last suggestion, however instead of creating such thread LoyceV can just add their names on the already existing thread created by him so they can support too.

[LoyceV]

There's no need to Pin my topic. Every proxybanned account gets to see a link to my topic already. I consider it a reading test: if they don't read, they shouldn't be whitelisted. I ignore many of the emails I receive just because they didn't bother to read the OP.

Don't worry about it, proxybanned accounts can't create topics

LoyceV can just add their names on the already existing thread created by him so they can support too.

I did that, in 2021. It's in the first post of the topic you've linked in the OP. Like I said: nobody ever reads.

The reason a newbie is banned can directly be seen on their account when they visit this forum. It is located at the top part of the forum and housed in red so that the newbie can easily see it and the amount that can be paid.

But what you posted that is valid is that the thread can easily help newbies to send email to LoyceV so that he can whitelist their account for them.

But what you posted that is valid is that the thread can easily help newbies to send email to LoyceV so that he can whitelist their account for them.

Note that sending an email is NOT enough, I reject most of them. But I am quite proud of my stats:

Statistics

• Users whitelisted: 445
• Users who never posted: 184
• Total Merit earned: 17218
• Total users banned: 11

That means 0.76% of all Merit on the entire forum was earned by the users I whitelisted in less than 5 years time. And it confirms proxybans at least occasionally affect the wrong users.

This is more forum related . Why not in meta?

Beginners should be more a bitcoin board for Beginners

Sometimes i think there is so much off-topic that we may even forget this is a bitcoin forum

The board is writen beginners and Help and if you are new on the forum and you are going through the forum to get a solution for something that happened while creating an account, believe me you will likely visit the beginners and Help because you believe as the name says you will find help over there, so thread like the one we are talking about should be in beginners and Help board because that’s where newbies with visit first and not the meta board.

There are two more topics about whitelisting, should they need to be pinned too?
Whitelisting for Brand New accounts (Enable posting)
Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - whitelisted for free | my list

I don't know.

There are threads need to be unpinned too like I listed there.

I also reported this > CFP Bitcoin Scalability Workshop (Sept 12-13), Montreal Canada for unpin but it was not resolved so far.
