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??

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...

My posts get deleted too, dont worry, but i Do 95% on Twitter already, so dont worry. Be Sure to have a Look at my sig and follow! Wink

I feel like mods just made their lives harder after this decision. I bet they now have to delete double the posts they did before or so.

Wow, pretty soon it's going to be considered spam if you type anything. Looks like the mods want OP's with no comments.

What did anyone expect. Lazy cunt devs, dickwaded mods. The problems are easy but they have their heads in the sand. Crikey one moderator was actually proud that the dev chose an old insecure version of SMF and patched it a little, rather than use the already updated and secured version.

Oh but he DID install the trust addon. So we should be happy. What a fucking farce. There are so much bigger issues at hand, what kind of tit choses to tell everyone to fuck off somewhere else rather than address issues properly.

They even admit, NOBODY reports the pool posts. Because NOBODY GAVE A FUCK!

New coin's dev not responding to my messages for adding my pool to the OP, so I post the one liner.

Banned for 14 days within 8 minutes of my post.

How sweet these moderators are.

Rules are rules.. complaining about them while you evade bans to post isn't going to do you any good.

You are absolutely right, sometimes my frustration gets the best of me

...but the fact remains that the rule addresses a problem by making an untenable rule...Meanwhile, the mods in general do NOTHING about open slander, vicious attacks, known scams... I actually like some of the mods (Greg Maxwell in particular has been very cool to me), but the way the rules are made and enforced on Bitcointalk betrays either a total lack of forethought, deliberate malice, or hallucinogens.

My main account (minerpools) was just banned for 7 days, just for posting one liners to let people know when a pool was up.

So, mods, if you're going to charge a fee, do it, but be clear about it, don't start telling us we can't do our job for no apparent reason.

Same Here (hashlink) but I've got 14 days ban Cheesy

If I try to register another account there is "fee" in BTC ... Nice, a Wink

What the hell are you talking about?

if somebody has too many accounts from one IP or uses ie TOR - he has to pay to get in

Ah! Didn't know that... maybe the original account I created is actually worth a few coins Tongue

I actually forgot about it until I tried to change my email address last week and realized it was already used, lol. Hell, it's almost a year old with no post history.

i think mods know this rules are not good but.. they just want to make altcoin forum to die in natural way. without kicking out people just puttign rules that will make it hard to use the forum.
