Topic: Bitcointalk Hall of Shame (Read 566 times)

I agree also and I've put franky1 on ignore but I don't think he is the worst one.

What about this Laudanum who has even posted on this thread?

He argues his answers/threads a lot but I'm starting to get pretty tired of his walls of text and it seems he is alt of a troll (cryptohunter?).

Agree about this and his walls of text. I tried to discuss with hom several times, but soon I realized it's pointless thing and I just waste my time.
I won't be unique, but No. 1 is BADecker. I don't know who can beat him.
And maybe not the sharpest knife in the kitchen, but IMO it's worth to mention KingScorpio and his poorly written conspiracy theories.

I'll give it to you: those two are definitely good candidates based on your criteria.  

Man, I'm so bad remembering bitcointalk members' names--especially when they're shitposters, but I've always thought Khristian (I hope I got his username right) was one of the worst, though I don't think he'd meet your criteria, OP, since he doesn't seem to be that active anymore.  All of his posts were generic nonsense, and they used to drive me up a wall.  Sorry, I just had to mention him.

I think cryptoboss2020 is an alt account of some other shitposter, probably one who's banned, though that's just conjecture on my part.  I don't have any hard evidence.

I'd like to nominate Broly46, who might have a brief spark of sanity here and there but mostly it's tripe like this:

I thoroughly endorse your nominations though I am convinced they are the same person: they make similar / identical spelling errors and they post an absolutely unparalleled level of utter tripe ... surely two different people couldn’t independently achieve this?

I nominate Lordhermes.
He makes 25 posts a week on average and shows a serious lack of logic and reason in his posts.

Some examples:

I think there is another one worth putting on the list: Pizzalover420

Similar behavior to others quoted in the OP. I've seen him a couple of times before but now I've just decided to put him on ignore.

game-protect is a scammer so doesn't fit OP's criteria. Inactive because he's banned, but very likely has sockpuppets continuing to trash the gambling board.

But hasn't he already won the king of the trolls poll? He can't win everything can he?
You know the poll where he won king of the trolls then requested any example of his presenting undeniable and conclusively debunked information as true or visa versa ( the definition of trolling as per the board rules and explained by SS a mod for 6 years).

Not 1 example was provided ??


How about i nominate quickseller aka Primenumber7?
Hmm complaining about undeniable holes in the trust system vs

Your own...

Self escrowing ? Scamming
Lying about being banned?
Sig spamming anyone that will have him
Engaging in red tag removal trading and removing warnings on legitmate scammers he had held for years simply to get some btc dust.
Doxing people
Then slobbering around asking for forgiveness.


King of the weasels. Slime of slime. Actually I see now more attention must be lavished on you quicksellout7. This weasel like behavior must be focused on and assistance must be given that you may recover and work towards being trustworthy and respectable.
Reasoning with cryptohunter a long time ago?  Can you provide the evidence?
Do you mean as quickseller or primenumber7?

Good job I just noticed this post. It could be very revealing.
Now let me challenge quicksellout7 here publically and see what happens

Present where your logic and reason was presented to CH and explain why he should have adopted your view.
I will wait.
Lol at a thread about hall of shame that does not feature scammers, proven financially dangerous individuals or those that willingly promote high risk schemes verging on scams. I dispute this can be a legitmate hall of shame or that more detailed description should be given so as not to be misleading.

The stipulations for hall of shame is what? Long winded posts that you can not grasp?

This is hilarious.

I mean people are nominating others and giving clearly bogus reasons like quicksellout7 here.

He claims that cryptohunter was wrong not to adopt his logic and reason?

I ask to see the evidence to explore this. Where is it? Hurry up.

If he can not provide it just demonstrates how worthless and misleading the entire thread is.

All nominations should be accompanied by corroborating evidence.
Even then hall of shame ? Lol
Proven scammers and liars like quicksellout7 nominating those he falsely claims should adopt his weasel logic and reason for hall of shame.

Is this a comedy thread?

Every person who has argued with CH over the merit and trust system and have had their arguments debunked over and over again.
Every person who refutes and fights against a transparent and objective set of criteria being used as the standards and basis for the trust system should be nominated.
Debunk my points if you can.  

I nominate most of DT1. Their constant fighting to give the current broken merit and trust system any value and deny it is dangerous is of course illogical and void of all reason.
Get them all nominated.

The OP needs to be drilled down on until it is not abused and meaningless like most other posts here.
All nominations must bring corroborating evidence that can be analysed for truth and objective value.
Hall of not adopting the bogus reasoning of low functioning weasels.

My nomination goes for game-protect https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/game-protect-874254
but this guy isn't active since July 2020.Perhaps he got tired of scamming and trolling.
He left me negative feedback for participating in a signature campaign in which I wasn't even accepted.
Also he left negative feedback to many forum members for no valid reason.

Ignore and don't forget to report if you have time.

My surprise is their threads attract many posters to join and 'discuss'. Earlier, I did not notice anything, and join discussions too but later on, when I found that those topics are from topic spammers, I ignore them.

I considered it as spam topics as too many topics were created per day or in a few days, and topic authors simply created topic and open it for discussions and abandoned it (lock button were not used).

It is too easy to scan around and leave comments as a pro-spammer and it was tested by @actmyname in [EXPERIMENT] Testing the Limits of Shitposting. Honestly, in the past 2 or 3 months, it takes me more time to find good topics to join discussions. This step takes me more time than what I spent for my posts (sometimes).

Some halls/ walls

• Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny
• [CLUB] The SpamBusters! Busting rule-breakers constantly.
• Bitcointalk Hall of Shame
• Bitcointalk's Hall of fame

notbatman left after I gave arguments that he was unable to refute that the Earth is not flat. I am surprised that it took as long as it did for someone to make the points I made.

I would nominate Cryptohunter and his related alts. He frequently complains about the trust system, particularly those in DT. I tried reasoning with him a long time ago, but he was unwilling to listen to my logic nor compromise.

I agree that he is prolific and somewhat detached from reality, but his posts are very readable. I would say that 2 out of 3 makes him a runner-up, along with his arch flat-earth rival notbatman, who appears to have left in disgust almost a year ago.

Not to be terribly unoriginal but I would like to nominate BADecker as well, who I've had on ignore for about 23 of the last 24 months.

There's some real mental illness flourishing in the P&S section. Its home to several posters who have specific threads they hang out in and basically just chronicle news items that confirm their paranoid suspicions. I'm pretty certain they all have diagnosable schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder... But for the most part they're not really hurting anyone and I'd feel bad mentioning them by name.


If I am allowed a second nomination, it would be for franky1, specifically for meeting all of the above criteria to a degree shared by few others, at least several thousand times.

With 33,500 posts in all (#2 on the forum), its going to be hard to beat BADecker, tho.

I believe Polo7 is banned. He briefly showed up with a new account and was banned again for evasion. It took a lot of reports to get that first ban and unfortunately mods are far more lenient towards cryptoboss2020, so that's not going well.

Some nutjobs like BADecker seem to have carved out an even larger niche over the years - it's hard to get even his most egregious offtopic nonsense deleted.


You're probably onto something here:

Not surprisingly, I have those three forum members on my ignore list: cryptoboss2020; OpenCryptoSystems and Polo7. The forum looks much cleaner without their posts.


Yeah they sometimes go on opening-threads sprees. I wonder if they do so after drinking.

I'm sorry to spoil the fun, but how is this thread not intended to feed trolls?

Similar to the Troll category from the Bitcointalk community awards that ended up being discarded for being:

Or maybe I'm bitching over something that is not really a reason to bitch about

I think that of the three listed users in the OP, it is difficult to find a better candidate - although I personally do not visit the Altcoins board and I do not know if there are similar patients there.


It seems to me that Polo7, OpenCryptoSystems and cryptoboss2020 are the same person.

My candidate is DashingAgent

This user is mostly shilling for altcoins in Bitcoin Trading board, but he often gives very strange advice and if you take a closer look at his post history he often contradicts himself. He also often asks for donations for his work, as if his posts really help someone.

Please read my post again, but this time with comprehension.

Do you even know which user I was referring to? Take a look at his post history a bit and you might understand.

No body trying out opinion is an idiot, every conversations among different categories of people carries something meaningful, as pictureme had pointed out, those users might not be an English speaking people while translator does imperfect work sometimes.
If you can't comprehend with their statements, find the nearest exit (doesn't mean they are idiots) while others might fully understand them more better.

Yes, they are probably not, but if you take a deep dive you can rule out grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. And If their writing is even below that, then what is the point of writing on English based boards? For example, I have come across a couple of Cryptoboss2020 posts and it didn't seem like the lack of knowing English is a problem, it seemed like nonsensical empty talk. And yeah, if you look at some of my posts and my rank, you could say that about me as well, so it's not straightforward, but I guess veterans on this forum have seen it all and know better. The activity level is also a good indicator.

edit: you can also spot pretty clearly when someone is fishing for merits.

I think he's a classic troll. Now he's playing some kind of convert, and at the first opportunity, if the bitcoin price drops again, he'll go back to his old ways, and that's spitting all over the crypto community.

Ignore is the best weapon against such idiots.

Not everyone is a native English speaker but since English is a global language and is taught in school in most parts of the world, many people know how to write proper English. But if we see such posts as mentioned by the OP where there are too many grammatical mistakes, this means either the person is using any sort of translation , using a spinning text tool or is very poor in English language.

In my own little understanding, I will say those posters are non English speaking individuals, they are probably using google translate.
If they can't write well it means they can't speak at all. or they are not that educated.

Well In all these, I sincerely believe that they are using a translator, is only google translate that will translate financial into Money.

To clear our doubt, we should also check if those users are also participating in local groups

Your nominees will definitely win, as far as I know they might be the accounts of the same person. If I ever come across their post, I tend to look not at their OP but the others who seems to understand the way they talk. IMO this is a little bit overboard for me because as you can see I might end up as a nominee too, but I can see where you are going at. They do not deserve the shaming though, they haven't hurt someone in any manner but I like this criteria maybe for others to become a better member that creates a better post.

There's this one dude named "HardFacts" whereas he pretty much almost always ends his topics with "Hard Facts" thinking he's so smart and clever or something. Thankfully he's already stopped spamming these crappy threads. He's pretty much the sort of "version 1" of cryptoboss2020.

Most of the P&S regulars probably qualify, though the grand prize I think goes to BADecker, who has made over 250 posts since the beginning of the year, and about 5k posts last year, most if not all of which are conspiracy-theoretical nonsense.

Oh, yeah, I found that one of them is in my ignore list.

Economics is full of their threads, I remembered one day maybe that was last december or november, found most of the recent threads on economics are made by them both, like most of them.

Who are the most prolifically bad posters on Bitcointalk?

Criteria for nomination

The poster must:
1. post an excessive number of posts or post frequent walls of text, and
2. require careful study in order to be understood, and
3. show lack of logic and reason and exhibit a potential disconnect from reality.

Note that basic grammar and spelling mistakes are not sufficient, and poor English by itself is not a criteria.


Not Criteria

1. Spammers
2. Scammers
3. Bounty program posters
4. People you don't like.
5. People you disagree with.

My nominees:

cryptoboss2020:  over the last 6 months, cryptoboss2020 has posted an average of 4.8 posts of utter nonsense each day in a variety of forums.

Example:


OpenCryptoSystems: In just the last month, OpenCryptoSystems has made over 90 posts that rival those of cryptoboss2020.

Example:

Honorable Mention:

Polo7: Polo7 hasn't been around since last November, but the brief appearance included some bold and ridiculous predictions that never panned out. I wonder if Polo7 is the same person as OpenCryptoSystems.

Example:
