Now, a spot check of the flags shows mostly, “
Support: Hhampuz, Lauda, nullius”. Cheers to Hhampuz. I encourage others to please spend a few minutes
supporting all of the flags on all known accounts of a forum abuser who was cheating campaigns for money, and unfairly taking slots that should have gone to other individuals (which, I observe, was just as unfair to other Filipinos as to everybody else).
Besides the lack of flag support, something else has been on my mind here:
I don't know if i'll actually ban users from your country, but you see how your actions could hurt others living in the same lifestyle as yourself?
I understand why this consideration is reasonable in case that the supermajority of users from a certain area were abusers so far. However, I would still ask you to consider not doing it. Every now and then, I met a single wonderful individual from these countries who would never cheat. They should not be opportunity-harmed because of the actions of others.
QFT.
My perspective: I am one who most assuredly may be trusted to not engage in any liberal knee-jerk virtue-signalling. I say what I see. Here is what I see:
It is a good sign for the Filipino community its members have been speaking up here. They have not been making baseless accusations of a nonexistent “racism”, as has recently been seen in Reputation from some very vocal bad apples from other places. To the contrary, they have been putting the blame where it belongs—for they are clearly outraged at the dishonesty of the party who actually did wrong here, whose wrongdoing they condemn in no uncertain terms.
Author supports the flag on Polar91. Thanks; please support all of the flags!I would like to say that one abuser does not represent the whole Filipino community. We have a lot of great posters and reputable members that have outstanding contribution here in forum just like sir Dabs and Mr.big.
Boldface is in the original:For the rest of Filipino members out there, please obey the rules at all times. This is not about your reputation alone but the reputation of of our local board as well. So
please cooperate .
Author supports the flag on Polar91. Thanks; please support all of the flags!I know it seems to be wrong with you because you have decent life but if you're on my shoes, I'm pretty sure that you'll do the same.
I will speak to this.I am currently a student, also not just supporting my food and studies but my whole life ever since I got separated from my family last 5 years ago, but even before that I was even a service crew on a fast food chain just to ensure that I have some money to spend.
You know what,
This excuse is not acceptable [...]
Now I as manager am not sure I can trust users from the Philippines. Maybe they're all your alt accounts? I don't know if i'll actually ban users from your country, but you see how your actions could hurt others living in the same lifestyle as yourself?
In behalf of the Filipino Community we will do what we can to improve. There are several users who almost consider this as a gift especially now, in this time of crisis. I really apologize,... Our reputation was getting good in these past few months, I know this has a big impact but please consider that there are still good users whose helping our community.
Also to scam/cheater busters, I am greatful for what you have done however it really has effect to the reputation of the local community but don't think that it is your fault.
You have just done what you should, continue the good things, expel and bust the cheaters/abusers, it will still be us who'll make a solution to make a comeback for our reputation.These are exemplary responses from people who are striving to build a better community: For themselves, for their countrymen, for everybody on the forum—and for Bitcoin.
The Bitcoin technology is
easy to duplicate. But the Bitcoin social movement cannot be duplicated. It exists because everybody agrees on Bitcoin. People all over the world, of every race and nationality, of every religion, of every political opinion,
all agree on Bitcoin. Their agreements or disagreements about anything else are irrelevant to Bitcoin.
That is why there is only one Bitcoin.Ang teknolohiya ng Bitcoin ay
madaling gayahin. Ngunit ang kilusang panlipunan ng Bitcoin ay hindi maaaring magaya. Ito ay umiiral dahil ang lahat ay sumasang-ayon sa Bitcoin. Ang mga tao sa buong mundo, ng bawat lahi at nasyonalidad, ng bawat relihiyon, ng bawat opinyon sa politika, l
ahat ay sumasang-ayon sa Bitcoin. Ang kanilang hindi pagkakaintidihan o hindi pagkakasundo sa anumang bagay ay hindi nauugnay sa Bitcoin.
Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit mayroong iisang Bitcoin lamang. Maraming Salamat to the Filipinos who have stood up to lead by positive example.
