Topic: Giveaway threads are not allowed - page 25. (Read 1044792 times)

Hello BadBear,

thanks for the explanation. I feel this 10 days ban quite too hard. Rules are rules and I like when rules get executed, but common he was not aware of it and 99% of the users here don't know that rule. It's far away from reality and I think it would be amazing if you tell him what he did wrong, cancel the ban and tell him not to do again. I am sure he will apologize to you in person and he will lead the Honorcoin Community in a good way in the future. Dialog instead of punishment.

Why I am talking from far from reality? Because I just experienced yesterday in the Cloakcoin Talk a Guy who used words like "Nazis' who gets reported by me and I am sure from other members to the moderator and who was still able to write for the next 24-48 hours. This are guys who destroy the Community Life in Bitcointalk , not a guy who takes over a Coin for the community after the 10000x Scam doing a mistake and ges banned for 10 days.

I am happy to discuss.

Cheers,

Christian

The most common mistake I see with signatures is stuff like "Add this to your signature then post here so I can verify", which is not allowed. You'd have to be more specific about what you mean wrt bounties, but that sounds okay.

If giveaway threads are allowed in a sub-forum where the posts do not show up in "recent topics" or "new replies", then what harm would it possibly do?

Hi BadBear,

If you have a minute I just wanted to make sure I understand this forum rule a little better. I read most of the thread, but again wanted to make sure my understanding is correct.

Asking us to put a link or promote a coin in our signature is ok as long as it doesn't ask us to post "insubstantial" posts as well correct? Or is it any type of giveaway period, unless the giveaway instructions are on another forum or site?

From a user standpoint. We can add anything to our signature as long as we don't promote the giveaway specifically? For example if the giveaway is posted somewhere other than bitcointalk, but asks us to put the coin and our address in our signature this is ok correct?

Last thing I see "bounties" all the time. So if the coins are given to do any type of work including, other than posting on bitcointalk, that is ok as well correct?

I know I read it in several posts already, but I also feel a warning would be more fair, even with a short time frame to remove the violation before banning. I do understand and agree with the reasoning for the giveaway rules in general, just not instant banning without a chance to change the mistake, unless of course there is a history of the user ignoring the rule.

Thank you for you time and Have a Good Day

ok thanks but i my opinion its not fair...he didnt mean anything bad, a lot of damage has done because of that....thanks anyway for your quick responde....best of luck
ps. can you just give him opportunity to put a new link for the new topic?? please?? that will help a lot...

His ban will expire in 10 more days.

Please unlock the Honorcoin XHC thread. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/treat-developers-better-xhc-thread-moved-645946  They are removing the giveaway.  Thanks.

Makes me sad since giveaway threads are what brought me here in the first place, but oh well.

Although some giveaways were fun, I think this is for the better. It was getting slightly out of hand.

So the UNIVERSE has fallen in place, just because you are the only dummy spamming now, is that it ?

Hahaha, i took that screenshot


Whoever remembers those days, understands why this rule is in place now.

Hey stupid, this community is about sharing fucking coins.

You talking smack, is not only spam, but with no benefit at all, so why the fuck are we on these boards, to discuss the World cup ?

You're right, doesn't lead to spam at all.

And it seems that you make no sense, just try and read the 1st thing you said, and please explain the spam address thing once more ?

Posting an address for a wallet is spamming ?

Were you born at night time ?

There should be a separate section for all giveaway threads but definitely should be allowed.

Spamming your adresses did only spam forums nothing more. Seems like you don't get the point.

Its true, giveaway's kept more views coming to this forum.

It's ok, everyone will go frequent Cryptocointalk, these idiots are putting themselves out of business.

They forgot that the Altcoin world is about sharing and giving, fucking dummies.

We like to giveaway.
