A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

We are up if anyone needs us.

^^ this is spam as well I guess?

Seems to me that the mods have their own preferences, I've seen ocminre post several times on threads and he hasn't been banned, hell just look at joincoin for example. What's the deal here huh?

haha yeah there are a few posts very similar to mine there.

Hence why i thought saying "its up" was ok...

What exactly are the guidelines regarding giveaways? I understand not wanting a bunch of people
flooding a thread with their altcoin addresses, but beyond that? Can you announce that there is a
giveaway on another site and provide an external link to that site?

I just got a 30-day ban today for posting a link to a giveaway and the only thing I can think of that
was different than the other giveaways I have posted is that this one encouraged people to post a
pic in the altcoin's thread - at the request of the coindev himself, I might add.

Anyway, I don't want to step on toes again, so I am asking up front "What are the rules regarding
giveaways on Bitcoin Talk?"

Thanks,

Cynthia

Seems to me this wouldn't really be spam - relevant information in it's own thread - how is that considered spam??

I've seen a coin dev have posts removed for posting working pools in his own thread!

Ad should be clean and simple. For any coin and service.

Yes, Maximus. I am suitably entertained by this very amusing thread.

Advertising spam is not allowed, this includes mining pools, gambling services, exchanges, shops, etc. Mining pool ops should make a thread within the Mining section of Alt Currencies. Most OP's already link to pools available so advertising your pool is unnecessary and leads to too much spam. Exchanges, shops, gambling sites, etc, should make a thread in the Marketplace section of Alt Currencies.

Ya we know... this is a great Public forum

A Reputed.. thanks for this

Any kind of third-party service that is posted by another person (rather than the starter of the thread).

So, If I develop a service or product denominated in a coin I support, I cannot post it here??? And you claim that you are here to support cryptocurrencies?

I will revise my opinion based on this response. This isn't merely arbitrary and capricious, this is deliberate malice. Has Theymos become so wealthy that he wants to drive all custom away? Or were the moderators and admins just smokin' something REALLY mentally harmful?

You can post it. Just not in the "Announcements" forum. Post it in the Marketplace or in its own Thread in the appropriate forum

Which means if it relates to a specific coin, it will be lost.

You can post it in a dedicated thread for that specific service, as in made by you or in a thread like "All services accepting this coin" in the Marketplace (Altcoins) or Mining (Altcoins) (depends on the service). If you want a service added to a coin's OP, you can send a PM to the dev.

...which was addressed and explicitly rejected as invalid in my previous post. What you aren't addressing is WHY you want to restrict commerce. Over the last year, altcoins have become relevant. During that same year, it seems that this forum has been trying very hard, in a passive aggresive womanly manner, to get the alt section to go away. I've largely stayed out of it until now, but the trend is obvious.

So, I ask again, has Theymos become so wealthy that he no longer wants or needs our custom, or have the admins and mods been hitting the pipe too hard?

Because frankly, the stated reasons for this arbitrary, capricious, and deliberately harmful ruling DO NOT match extant reality in any fashion. 2+2 does not equal five, and never will outside the halls of government. Yeah, from time to time, especially on a new launch, pool operators have gone a bit nuts. But if THAT is what concerns you, when openly fraudulent companies work their frauds in plain sight under your nose without comment from the mods in any meaningful fashion, one HAS to question your ethics and motivations. Or assume you're on some ugly drugs. Or both.
