I think it all went downhill when the mods seemed to defend BFL instead of slapping the scammer tag on them. then everyone guessed its because of the advertisement vested interest
[...]

We aren't the one sleeping in the bed, you guys are. We just change the sheets occasionally.

I take it you're not going to even bother answering the actual question there. The one being about BFL scammer tag and advertising revenue.

If so, this thread is pointless.

There was a question there? Looks like statements to me. 

Please don't act dense. You know perfectly well what I and the OP meant.

Let's do it this way then: "Will the moderators ban BFL from advertising at these forums? Will the moderators hand out SCAMMER tags to BFL employees/accounts?"

You do realize that mods can't actually do either one of those right? 



.....why not?Huh

I think the forum created their own messy bed and have to sleep in it until they have higher standards but in this economy we know that is impossible

such are the times

One can sleep in a bed while blackout drunk and not remember a thing. I challenge you to change sheets under such circumstances  Grin

So you describe a problem, ask for help on solutions...

and the resulting 11 pages that follow are the same problems you describe: vendor hate, people calling people whatever, people talking off topic, with some genuinely trying to address the OP's issue, and etc.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or condescending or any of that, just an honest question:  If you really wanted to change this, why don't you just "moderate"?  you know, like your title says.  Use your common sense/best discretion.  If someone starts bashing BFL in the KNC thread, tell them to stay on topic.  If someone calls someone a whatever tell them to keep it civil.  If Josh calls his customers a moron cuz they want their money back for an undelivered product, tell him to act professional.  If people refuse, just ban them for a bit?  I don't know...

Or don't.  It's up to you.  Just that most of the other forums I goto, this is what the "moderator" tends to do.

I personally like the forum exactly the way it is.  I like reading all the bashing, all the useful information, all the drama, it's like watching reality tv almost.  I like it when people go at it like Bitcoinorama and KS, within their exchanges you can glean useful info from both sides, and generally be more educated thanks to their efforts.  You can find useful info in just about any posts here if you look for them.

I love this forum.

exactly. If even this thread can't be moderated to keep it on topic then what hope does the rest of the forum have? 
Given the minimalist stance the mods take here it should probably just be left the way it is..better nothing than selective editing or what have you.

I think given the diverse participants in this thread and in the various threads on the forums, the mods can see now that it is not "just a few troublemakers".
A single forum is reflecting most of the difficulties in the ASIC marketplace. Right now the only economical miners are ASICs, therefore this forum is home to most of the problems and issues in Bitcoin mining.

Bit coin mining AS killed people. One that springs to mind is the dude that was sleeping in his mining room and died through heat exhaustion. So I'm sorry to say your wrong. Bit coin mining AS killed! :-)

Impressive that he was able to post on a forum after he died.

I've looked for the article but Google is so fixed that it just wants to show bitcoin is dieing! No surprises there! Of cause he didnt report his own death though, How does your brain work to even suggest such a thing!!!

He didn't die, he just posted on a forum claiming he suffered from heatstroke while he slept.

Well your not obviously on about who i am! Jesus! Give me strength!
Did you die and leave your ghost to post?

Face facts: this is a modern day gold rush, and this sub-forum especially must reflect exactly the state of the fever until that's over. The supreme irony is that this thread has brought out the full cast of goblins and sky-spirits, if anything only to somehow help prove that they're genuine. It's a lesson in life, make of the circus what you will, but it cannot be controlled, tamed, reasoned with or made sensible. It is not possible.

Sad, but we are animals, the best we can do is a sincere attempt to be rational. And attempted exploitation of animal instincts will continue while we are all still biological.

And so the only genuine solution is trans-humanism  Cheesy Who's first on the operating slab?  Grin

Seriously dude! Stop supporting the elite and realise the truth! WE'RE ALL BEEN LIED TO ABOUT EVERYTHING!
