Reddit/forums for Ethereum are extremely heavily policed and most of the information from the ICO has been deleted. For example, where is this?

I don't care about Ethereum but those thread titles are pretty childish and the fact that they got deleted proves nothing.
"It's not on me to prove they scammed the ICO."
Yeah, I think it is when you're throwing words around like scam and pyramid scheme. When did accusing people without research and facts ever helped?
And what do you mean by "Pyramid scheme mining structure"? As far as I know miners don't have to pay to be able to mine so that cannot possibly be a pyramid scheme.
"As difficulty rises, the same mining rig gets fewer and fewer coins" isn't that how virtually every coin works?

It's normal that a forum 'has' a moderation, why are you talking about? However if you are sincere then I think there is not any problem in write the truth here on bitcointalk (like you did with this thread).

One of the interesting things I want to know is:
Was the advertising/travelling Ethereum did prior to the ICO paid for with ICO funds.

Sweet mother of pearl you people are dumb. Do you even research? Or, just make things up?
The proof is in the OP. The links to my discussions were deleted today. Instead of Ethereum giving proof that they didn't scam the ICO, they deleted the thread. Instead of trying to make the Ethereum mining more fair, they deleted the thread.
It's not on me to prove they scammed the ICO. I'm not the Canadian Government. I can't force my way into their Toronto offices and look at their financial records.
It's on Ethereum to prove they didn't scam the ICO. I think Andreas Antonopoulos coined the term "decentralized automated audit trail". In the spirit of open source, transparency and decentralization Vitalik should have implemented such a system that was easily visible for everyone to see.
Their financial records look as bad as the scammers on that TV show "American Greed"

You can still pull up the cached versions of your posts. See my above comment.
Hate to say it but you sound like a 10 year old with a personal vendetta and a lack of of intelligence.
Maybe do some research yourself before throwing around wild accusations dude. Everything you need to know is already out there.

... What is wrong with you? No wonder they removed the garbage accusations you're trying to throw around. Find a better way to spend your time.

Lots of guys mine Ether, it will be a hell of a scare if any real proof was put forth to Ethereum being a scam...

Ethereum could have been a world changing project.
It's become nothing more than another scammy altcoin with greedy devs trying to get rich.

Ethereum SCAM Warning!
DO NOT USE:
https://forum.ethereum.org
The forum is moderated. My account has been banned and my 2 threads deleted.
Keep all discussions about Ethereum off of that forum.
I was trying to have a discussion about "Is Ethereum A SCAM?" and "Is Ethereum A Pyramid Scheme?":
https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/2669/is-ethereum-a-scam
https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/2702/ethereum-pyramid-scheme
I was mentioning valid things like:
- The large premined ICO with no transparency. Did they buy their own ICO and take back their invested BTC secretly?
- Poor coin launch that created an unfair poor distribution of coins. No pools at launch for CPU miners. No compiled installer files for windows, mac or linux.
- Pyramid scheme mining structure. As difficulty rises, the same mining rig gets fewer and fewer coins. Ethereum devs instamined the coin. I suggested to increase the block reward later on to minimize this poor coin launch.
- No block explorer
Stay away from Ethereum. Luckily the crowdfunding did provide the open source code which will allow another team to create an Ethereum with better coin distribution.
