To Whom it May Concern:

Spreadcoin's developer made a new thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938222.120 that was for the testing of masternodes based upon the Darkcoin masternode system.  Everyone was on TESTNET and asking for TESTNET coins.  However, a moderator thought we were conducting a giveaway and removed the thread and banned our developer: Mr. Spread

Could our thread please be reinstanted and Mr. Spread unbanned?  This was all just a mistake, it was NOT a giveaway, it was an important test.

Thank you!

Yes - please moderators.  This was a test of Spreadcoin's masternodes.  The coins are for testnet only so we can test the masternode function.  Please re-instate Mr. Spreads abilities.

Yes please

We were in the process of testing new features on the testnet, and we were passing coins around to other people.
But those were only testnet coins, with the sole purpose of testing the new features.

Please reverse Mr. Spread's ban.

His exact username is
Mr. Spread

It was a misunderstanding, as the member above mentioned, the coins were TESTNET coins, just for testing Masternodes in Testnet enviroment.

Please remove the ban on Mr.Spread.

Yes, the Ban was a mistake as the coins have no value because they are on the testnet.

As mentioned, the coins were Testnet coins.  There is no monetary value associated with them and were needed in order for testing purposes only.

Please reinstate Mr Spread.

This is in a wrong section, move it to ban appeal section. Also it's questionable to unban him it's still spamming with addresses even if it was test network as it isn't difference between altcoin address spamming and bitcoin spamming.
Althrought i'm curious about this case.

The only online casino on which i won something. I made 17mBTC from 1mBTC in like 15 minutes.  This is not paid AD!

It's not only about the ban (although a ban of main developer is quite painful for a coin, you know). It's about policy in such cases. So we better wait for answer with some official weight, from some moderator or administrator, thank you.

It was only my opinion man Smiley i'm currious about how the moderator will handle this. I feel you.

This was for testing SpreadCoin MasterNodes only, but I understand the confusion.
I realy do hope Mr Spread will be un-banned, he is a great developper who is pushing crypto in general forward.

MODs

It sounds like a gunine mistake was made.

Give the man his account back while he and the spread community test at an important point in time.

It doesn't matter if they have no value or not, it's not a mistake. The rules are about curbing the spam that results from giveaways.

Altcoin giveaways are not allowed.

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

I honestly don't know how this can be more clear.

I understand what you're saying but:

1.  We were testing masternodes which require 100 test coins to setup.
2.  The only way for people to setup the masternode to test was to have 100 test coins sent to them.

I absolutely understand if there was value to the coins and we were giving people incentive to post.  There was no incentive though, it was simply the only way to get them the coin so they could help us test.  As such, my hope is that our thread would fall under the exception theymos left open when he said:

Quote from: theymos
Most giveaway threads

Thank you for your consideration.
