The other day, after I made the following post (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.24439428),
I received a PM from "CoolWave":
The catch : After 500 bytes, I would expect 10 $ tip (not mandatory ). I can accelerate one transaction at a time . For more, please pay 10 $ first .
Tippers : Accelerated in two different accelerators .
Non- Tippers : Accelerated in one accelerator only .
You shouldn't ask for anything or expect for anything (at all) for using a free services that it's out there for everyone to use for free. These actions should be made out of goodwill.
For Antpool you can easily copy paste all of the transactions at the same time and accelerate it (no hassle)
For ViaBTC, you have to do it on hour resets and if you're fast enough you can accelerate two transactions at the same time.
For ConfirmTX, as long as it's less than 400 byte/tx, it will be processed for free (without a limit on number of Tx's).
It also appears that you keep on giving the idea of a tip or donation, which is wrong since their actions should be made out of their own will and not given to them in form of the idea.
I hope you do the right thing from now on...
His 2nd PM:Ok,, do one thing . Serve people like I am serving and you should not miss a single guy . Forget about going out . You have to just keep on . Nothing comes for "free" . Time is the most precious thing in the world and I do not force people to pay . I ask for a tip only . The service will get misused if I start accepting transactions . Your perception is totally wrong .

I'm not the one with the service thread in regards to this (you are). Since I have a life and don't spend my whole time in front of a computer, whenever I see a user in need of help, I help them (for free and without any expectation) and at the same time, I make sure they have some guidelines to do it by themselves (the next time that they stumble upon a similar situation).
Nothing comes for "free" .
Indeed and you're stealing someone else's hard work for your own benefit. You think that's fine?
Time is the most precious thing in the world and I do not force people to pay . I ask for a tip only .
Actually you are asking for a payment of $10 for more than one transaction.
The service will get misused if I start accepting transactions . Your perception is totally wrong .
Misused in what way? You can simply close your thread and let a moderator, create a sticky in regards to these accelerators (with complete instructions), so everyone can use it right away (without the need of someone else).
His 3rd PM:1. Someone's hardwork ? Stealing ? What is it that I have stolen ? I have done my own research then got here . People can do their own . It is people like you actually who spread out things and then say it is being misused and stolen . So who is the main culprit here ?
2. Yes, I do ask for a payment for 10 $ as it is not going to buy me a Lamborghini and if I don't people will give me tonnes of transactions . I did not know about the mass transaction feature though . But still people will keep on coming with different transactions or better say they will misuse it . There are several accelerators out there , I hope you know that people also use them and they are paid as well .
3. Ofcourse moderators can use sticky, why don't they ? Do you think people will actually do it when they need everything fast ? No one has got time for that .
My response:1. Someone's hardwork ? Stealing ? What is it that I have stolen ? I have done my own research then got here . People can do their own . It is people like you actually who spread out things and then say it is being misused and stolen . So who is the main culprit here ?
Those pools that mine those blocks are the ones that should receive a tip and here you're getting the tip, as well as asking for $10 (for TX's beyond one). Yes, people can do their own research, and yet you asked me to delete the name and the link (shady behavior). You're the one who sent me a PM in regards to misused issue (in case you forgot) and I'm trying to point you to the right direction.

Then you shouldn't have the label [Free] on your thread (since it's misleading) and also if you're not willing to accelerate tones of transactions, then you shouldn't start such threads in the first place. I'm well aware of the paid accelerators and after monitoring you, you're not using anyone of those.

There's already one out there (although a bit outdated):
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/all-about-stuck-transactions-and-what-you-can-do-to-fix-them-1802212Another sticky with the updated information on service section will do wonders. So people don't have the time to copy paste their transaction ID on accelerators, but they have the time to post on your thread instead?
His 4th PM:1. Its not pools that mine, its miners . What if someone sent a transaction with low fee ? Who do you think will help them ? You are not trying to understand . People would spend 10 $ but not spend 'time' in creating account . And I never asked people to send low fees means again I am not stealing . Of course I came to you because you are not doing right thing . You should rather point towards that sticky post than posting those links . Posting links again and again is nothing but spamming .
2 You mean I keep on working for people days and nights for free ? Why don't you do it then ? You want to enjoy your life and you want us not to help people then how come you are good to them ? There is already a post about this through which I got link, why don't you leave it on people ?
3. Do you think its as easy as copy pasting ? They have to make an account first and also verify it . If you really want to help pople then come and accelerate their each and every transaction for free then I will see how far you go.

And those miners are mining on the pool itself. They can help themselves by using the accelerators. Not all of the accelerators require a registration and also in order for them to post on your thread, they need to create an account. The sticky thread is outdated and doesn't have everything (each transaction is different from one another, so I post whatever that it's required but you on the other hand, keep on asking for tips and that's the spam without contributing to the conversation).

When you open a thread with the label being [Free], then that's what you should be doing or else your thread title it's misleading. You're asking me why I don't leave people to do something that it's dishonest or rather cheating, you're kidding me right?
3. Do you think its as easy as copy pasting ? They have to make an account first and also verify it . If you really want to help pople then come and accelerate their each and every transaction for free then I will see how far you go.
They have to do that here as well (in order for them to post). I always accelerate all of the transactions for free (in case you didn't know, try to read further back).
Anyways, it's already 2:30 AM on where I am and since this conversation it's going nowhere, I'll be creating a thread (in the morning), in regards to our discussions (and update you with it's link), so you can see the communities stand in regards to this issue.
His last PM:1. You post those links which are useless . Viabtc takes only 100 an hour , do you think anyone can be so fast ? What about transactions which have been double spent ?
2. I do not cheat people . Come and accelerate . But if you will make 1000 posts to accelerated 1000 transactions I will definitely charge you .
3. You always do that . Have you ever woke up and started with a laptop serving people ? Look at me . Its 5:49 AM here and I slept at 3:20 AM . When you will do such service you will get to know . A random help is not worth it .
Go for it .
I didn't reply to that since it appears were going nowhere and he keeps making excuses (excluding the link that I'll be sending in regards to this thread, after I post this thread).
Users that use free accelerator and accelerate transactions for free are doing the right thing but the above user on the other hand that expects and requires for a payment (for something that's it's free to the public), is wrong (IMO).

Edited:
The catch : After 500 bytes, I would expect 10 $ tip (not mandatory ). I can accelerate one transaction at a time . If you have got multiple, then list it at a single place . If you post two or more transactions in more than one post you will have to pay some tip (1$ - 10$) .

The issues that I see is:1. Why would someone be allowed to use a free accelerator that it's out there (for the public to use for free) and get credited for it (to use it for their own benefit and earn something from it)? I consider it to be dishonest and cheating in a way.
2. Users shouldn't be giving the idea of a tip or donation (which he does in almost every single post) and instead it should be done by clients, voluntarily. To me it feels like an indirect begging since it's indirectly asking for a tip or donation (by giving the idea).
3. What punishment it's appropriate for such cases?
