Topic: Do we want to continue to allow various vendor hate in here? - page 3. (Read 17371 times)

.....why not?

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

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?"

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I am a noob and I approve this post.

This is completely off topic.

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 love some parts... others not so much.

Get to it Staff!


... then why do we even bother..... :/

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.

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.

Yes it died on the first page ...

Did you die and leave your ghost to post?

No, you're just remembering it wrong.

HErpa-aderP-dErp?

Well your not obviously on about who i am! Jesus! Give me strength!
