Topic: Bring back the newbie jail (Read 2864 times)

There have been changes, there are more moderators in general and also moderators who can moderate all newbies, regardless of the board they post in, as opposed to moderators only controlling a specific board.

There is no jail...

I think I'm outta jail now

Interesting stats, and yes, I'm rushing my post count up.  

How should I respond to people's lies against me? You obviously cared enough to make an untrue comment based off something you just made up on a whim so I'll respond when someone posts utter unbacked BS or baits me into commenting like you did and continue to do. Your claim that I always post in there is bollocks (as well as irrelevant). It shouldn't be hard to find some since I apparently always post in there and you apparently 'follow' my posts. And I didn't purposely derail anything or create an argument, but you're accusing me of something you've just done and continue to do now. You keep living on this forum to get your funds whilst getting paid to bump your threads as well. Such a hypocrite. Feel free to PM me if you wish to discuss this further or if you come across any of my many allegedly 'vague and empty' posts so neither of us can be accused of padding our counts any further.

Anyway, back on topic:


Good idea. I and others have suggested this before, but as per the previous discussion with Lauda it probably won't get implemented, although maybe one day we'll be surprised.

Overreact much to someone's opinion? I'm not going to go through your post history. I don't care at all. I made a comment based on what I have seen in the marketplace. Derailing posts is considered padding post counts. Creating arguments that have no relation to the board is padding your post count. Keep living on this board to make your promo funds.



Maybe alter newbie jail to only allow posting on some boards such as alternate crypto and beginners but keep them out of marketplace and bitcoin discussion

Evidence of these accusations, please? Show me some examples of where I've posted something I know nothing about or my comments are vague and empty? I don't even go in sections like Mining because I know very little about it, and I also very rarely post in the Goods section too and if you check my stats this will corroborate that (goods doesn't even feature on there) so this is just vague and empty BS made up to suit your argument. It seems it's you that posts all the time in the marketplace; in fact it's almost exclusively to there, but what I find especially ironic and hypocritical is that if you go through your posts you'll see mine are not only longer and far more constructive than yours, but even more ironically half of yours are just bumps for your listings, so it's you that's literally padding your post count out and seemingly only posting here to make some bitcents through both listings and Stunna. 6 bumps here (amongst other threads) and 5 of them in a row. You're meant to delete previous bumps as per forum rules and I hope you will be deducting them when you claim your payment from Stunna since they're not allowed either.

And I don't see how not making a trade yet forbids me from making the very few posts that I have in the goods section. I've actually listed a few things and was planning on listing much more stuff this weekend, so I hope this is ok since I've obviously encroached on your domain here.

And It's no secret that I make the extra posts for the payment and have never denied it so it's not laughable, but to say I troll or 'pad' my post count is, but what's the problem anyway? If I contribute relevantly to threads and discussions (which I do) then it shouldn't matter whether I make one post a day or a thousand, but there's always a few whingers who seem to have a problem with it and it's especially a non-issue when we've got genuine spammers and trolls tearing up the forum. Seems to be fine to do that as long as you don't have a signature.

I see you posting in marketplace all the time but have never made a trade. I see you commenting on posts that you know nothing about. Your responses are vague and empty. I have no quarrels with you but to plead ignorance to the fact that you don't trollolol these boards for a few cents from Stunna is comical 

Why is it I'm 'padding my post' count and you aren't? Just because I contribute more posts than you?

If you follow hliariousandco, that's all I see. Padding that post count


More on topic, the currency exchange board is all newbies asking to buy or sell BTC.  Suspect this is the same issue in lending and other areas of marketplace.

As far as I can tell hilariousandco and LaudaM are both just replying to each other to get that sweet sweet post count number to move up.

Copying? What are you on about? You really need to articulate your points better.

Now you've started copying, interesting.

What the hell are you mumbling about? Especially futile when you yourself acknowledge that they don't get processed  .

It's not like I've been trying to say this the whole time. 

There's no point I needed to figure out, but suggestions very rarely ever get processed or implemented.

Finally you figured out the point of this.
These suggestions take too long to get processed.

Signatures have been discussed much more and for far longer than the newbie jail has been gone.

Those were signatures.
This has been discussed multiple times, nothing was ever done.

Maybe as a layer above the site when you log in for the first time that will not go away for 10-15 seconds, containing info about newbie permissions?
