[johnnyrocket]

Moderation powers can be removed if abused, so I don't see any reason why BCX couldn't be added since so few others are willing to step in and mod the alt currencies board.

[QuestionAuthority]

Vast numbers of people hate you dude and where there's smoke there's fire. I am not really into altcoins but I would rather see MnW come back as a mod. Admit it, you just want to fuck over a bunch of people in the altcoin section as some sick form of entertainment. Here's the bad part about that idea: altcoin users exchange their mined shitcoins into Bitcoin and join the Bitcoin economy. Your bullshit is causing people to hate all crypto currencies including Bitcoin.

Vast numbers of people hate me, so what?

I'm not looking to fuck over anyone. For someone that has been around as long as you have (almost two years according to your profile) I am amazed at how little you know about the forum moderation. The lower level mods cannot ban people and it is something I do not care about anyway. I just want to clean up the place by rearranging threads and killing spam.

There are no mods in the alt section and no one wants to do it. Threads that are reported in Alts are ignored. It is possible to not like someone or hate a specific coin and be fair. Most of the Global Mods here including Saltyspitoon have made their hatred of the ALt Section well known, but have been more than fair in moderation. I do believe that Badbear, Raoul Duke and Maged would select all and click delete on the whole forum if Theymos would allow it, but they are fair nonetheless.

Really I think I must have frightened you a little too hard in the past if you think I can single handedly make masses of people hate crypto and Bitcoin in general.

I don't really remember you, were you ever a coin dev?


~BCX~

No, I was never a coin dev. We talked a few times back in 2011. I was known as CornedBeefHash back then. I deleted my account and started over in 2012.

I don't get why you would want to be a mod. You aren't really known for your humanitarian efforts. The only thing you've ever volunteered to do is nuke a coin out of existence so why change now. Mods really do real work for little reward. What's your angle?

[cryptopaths]

An activity requirment for ann threads and to post or even limiting posts would make more sense then having a moderator. The alt section has a lot of competition between its users and making someone from the userbase a mod would cause catastrophic damage.

1) Explain what you mean by competition between users?

2) All mods are from the user base.


~BCX~

1) people favoring different coins and trying to get coins their invested in to succeed.

2) not necessarily the alt section.

Sorry mate but you and operation shitcoins plans have once again been foiled by Cryptopaths the Crypto Knight.

That's a good point QuestionAuthority, basically BitcoinExpress along with his teamates over at Operation Shitcoin Cleanout want to seize control in the alt coin section to destroy coins and promote coins that they favour. With BitcoinExpress becoming a mod this would give them an unfair advantage and the ability to greatly manipulate the market. That's his angle.

Just want to clean up the alt section as there is zero moderation taking place in there. If it had any moderation at all, I wouldn't even ask. A couple of the Global Mods have told me that Alts are basically ignored and reporting most threads is pointless. That's my only motivation. All this worry about BCX using mod status to screw someone over is stupid. Lower level mods can't ban anyone and besides it's not like Mod Status can't be removed. Another good reason is as Badbear can attest to, I have an eye for spammers, especially paid sig spammers.

Besides I can absolutely guarantee you that if I stepped one micron out of line I would be demoted instantly and more than likely perma banned. Wouldn't you like to see a moderated Alt Section?


~BCX~


@Cryptopath

Did you say something?

Im not seeing any different the alt section from othet sections.. in the annoucements im seeing hundreds of shitcoin new topics , and i think people try to promote their repective shitcoin by posting on its topic, so im not seeing any weird here.. why would you clean one topic and not other? This is a free market.. everyone can try to make their best of his shitcoin which at my point of view all alts outhere are useless..

But your "clean up" possition is like wanting to be mod of the speculation section to delete "falllling" topics.

[QuestionAuthority]

Yeah, ok. Maybe you'll be a great and impartial mod. Even if you're a bad mod it's not like we haven't had a few of those over the years. Hey, maybe we can get Bitlane back and make you both mods. Wouldn't that be fun. lol

Actually I think Bitlane would have made an excellent mod.


~BCX~

Oh, I really do too. We don't have any funny mods. He would have been a mod with a sense of humor. Back when you could really troll the box at BTC-e I would get into conversations with him that would have me laughing till I cried. I was JesusChrist in the troll box and he played off my username for a half an hour. There was this kid named Solomon or something that Bitlane dogged so bad I could picture him in my mind crying at a keyboard. LOL

[ObscureBean]

I think that's a lot of power to give to someone with vested interest in altcoins    It'll make a lot of people uncomfortable because it's hard to remain impartial when you're passionate about something.
The ideal moderator would be a hero/senior member of unquestionable integrity who's never dabbled in altcoins.

I have no vested interest in altcoins.  I am impartial because I know nothing about them at all.  I am not passionate about them at all.  I have my profile set to ingnore all altcoin related posts.  I never visit the altcoin subforum and never will.  I have never dabbled in altcoins and never will.

Make me the altcoin mod and I promise to never even read a single altcoin post.  I am the perfect candidate by your definition.

I second BurtW nomination, he's the mod we need.

Seriously though ObscureBean made a good point making someone mod of a section they have such a huge stake in isn't very smart. And that's especially true for the alt coin section more then any other section.

[r3wt]

You know, if theymos doesn't reply to this thread, there are alternative methods for getting his attention. Perhaps its time to re examine the supposed security fixes on the trust page.

How can you seriously think that "re-examining" security issues (sounds like you're suggesting to exploit them) would be a good way to convince theymos that you are trustworthy enough to be made a staff member?

hmm..no you're not the perfect candidate. I think you missed the part where you'd then be a staff member and that moderating the altcoin section would then be your job.
If you don't read a single post then you're not really doing your job which means you're not really a member of unquestionable integrity.

I hadn't saw that he had replied here already.  That comment was innapropriate and i should not made it, so i apologize. Really, i'm just fired up about this whole situation that went down in Ferguson, MO, and vented that frustration in my post.

[Spoetnik]

With all due respect, you don't even report posts, but you want to moderate that board. Seriously?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624427.msg7763245#msg7763245

approx. 0.14 good reports per day for all forum.

what is there to report though ?
also i thought you guys would get sick of too many reports too so i have always tried to avoid doing it if i can.. so i don't piss off staff LOL

[Spoetnik]

I've had a clash or 2 with BCX in the past, but to be honest I'd trust him as a Mod. So his suggestion for moderating the Alt section I support (hell it can't get much worse).

agreed and i think an endorsement from kelsey is meaningful.. i am a kelsey fan

i doubt i have a vote on this but if i did i would say hell yeah let em do it !

when i commented on this topic earlier i was given a link to cryptopaths comment and i was flabbergasted and stunned he posted what he did on here.
and then never looked to see who the OP was (i assumed it was cryptopaths)

anyway i doubt they will Mod you BitcoinExpress.. your kind of similar in personality to me i think and i have been banned for trolling and spamming LOL
and i get called a troll if i criticize a coin so fast !

i think BCX is like me as in VERY logical and analytical minded.
like if either one of us seen a scam coin posted by our own mother we would go after her hard LOL
like what is.. is !
no need to sugar coat things.. play favorites etc.
Which is why i don't think he would give me any special treatment either.. he is fair and that means he would enforce rules on me fairly i think.

We got into it long ago about some well known controversy last year and in time and talking with him i seen his point of view.
And i think others should give him a fair shot too and don't write him off as a Troll or something.. he is pretty smart and honest i think !

I think the problem is guys trade and guys make coins that get criticized.. so what happens next ?
24/7 you get harassed to hell and back for being critical about a coin.. because other guys keep making them.
and these guys scream Troll and joust for control and credibility etc.. because it's worth money to them !
Bag holders loiter 24/7 waiting to pounce on anyone that dares say anything but ass kissing of their coin.
Either you like every coin posted or your a troll.

so yeah... no bloody surprise some guys don't like BCX or want him to be a mod LOL
i wonder why that is ? hmmmmm?

seems like Traders are ok with it but other guys pretending they don't make clone coins are NOT.
moot point because i just can't see it ever happening though.

No clue, I was talking to him on three different forums and the trollbox at BTCe all the time then "poof" he never showed up anywhere again. Bitlane was very vocal against him all along (so was I as CornedBeefHash) but really Bryan Micon put the nail in Pirate's coffin with this bet thread.
