I am finding out that this rule is actually bad for bitcoin.
This site still has the best source of information, i started out on this forum and giveaway's kept me returning to the forum when i was bored, while on the site i learned about PTS and took interest in mining it at its release, I then learned more returning to the site after having grown a deep interest in crypto currency, it all started through forum giveaway's.
The alternative section has  subs and giveaway's should be allowed again.

Yeah man this website is in fact amazing.
Ive been gone for a while from the bitcoin scene, few days ago came back in it was more alive than ive ever imagined.
I kinda came to this site for the giveaways too, its a big pull for everyone.( free yaaay)

I've brought more than 500 people in this forum with my twitter giveaways.
What I'm supposed to do now? Tell them BCT owner doesn't like giveaways?

I'm sending a lot of traffic here. Either make a new subforum for forums or find a solution.
Get a new HDD/SSD just for that section, if that's the problem. I'll pay the cost.
When in doubt - bring a lot of people to the forum.
And buy some monero.

Hi BadBear,
It seems like Anon136 really did break the rules, though to my understanding (reading what he says) he thought that he was  just on the EDGE for braking the rules becaus his giveaway was actually no alt. coin.

Most importantly, he is an very important member of this Forum as he is a trusted escrow. He is holding around 100 BTC of more then 100 bitcointalk users in escrow for EXO_coin and maybe more for other escrows I am not aware of.

I am sure that he will from now on be more care full with not braking or walking on the edge of braking the rules.
Please, can you give him a second chance and remove the ban? Its not just for him, but for every one holding quite large amount of Money with him.

Thanks!


He's done a lot of good, and helped many to not get scammed, so taking that into consideration, I've reduced it to 5 days (4 remaining).

Thank you, I think that sounds like a fair compromise.

Apparently you guys have banned anon136.

I'm posting because according to the information in the OP, and unless there's something we ignore, the ban is improper.

Quote from: theymos
Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

that's what anon136 was doing here.

He's providing escrow service here currently and he's done so several times in the past successfully.

Please consider removing his ban.

Thanks.

Wrong thread. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/giveaway-thread-for-silver-bullion-warehouse-receipts-pls-share-this-link-608247

He even says in the thread he knew it was against the rules, yet it continues.

People also seem to be confused, it isn't posting addresses specifically that's against the rules (though that is one of the most common type), it's incentivizing posts. Some people were putting the addresses in their signature then posting anyway, it's the same thing. Some were just posting their addresses in the thread.

Please reconsider to cancel the ban you have done on Anon136. He's a Bitcointalk-user for a long time and earned a lot of respect in the community.

Thank you.

Must be a mistake with Anon136. He is one of the most trusted escrow services on bitcointalk.

Wait for Mod's response.

Yeah, I'd like to add my vote for letting Anon136 back on....I really feel that he doesn't deserve the ban in this case.
(maybe you can ban him for being a silver-smelting hillbilly, instead)

Dont you think its a bit harsh too instantly ban these people and lock the thread?

I'm really disappointed in the fact you dont even send out a warning first. Here PND is trying too compensate for the losses of other peoples SCAM coins... Wich happend before with the AC scam (hidden premine stuff), Why didnt you lock the thread/warn the devs at that moment?

Still you guys allow lots and lots of scamcoins too be posted here... Even after being confirmed a scam, you guys still keep the thread open,
I can still post actively in the Stackcoin thread... Not 1 mod who took the time too at least modify that threads title saying it is a scam... This is just 1 little example... Thats stuff is far more worse then hosting a little giveaway... 

There are also lots of 100% pos coins out here... wich distribute through the btctalk thread... yet I dont see any one of those locked... (some of those are simply not applying too the rules as well)




Pls re-open the PND official thread... And unban the devs...  I'm certain they not did this on purpose... it was more like a charity kind of thing... Let them remove all the "giveaway posts" and continue with our beloved community Smiley

Please reconsider your descision

Thanks for the link. Breaking more rules isn't going to make us be sympathetic.

A wild ban evader has appeared!

Pardon me, but what? Care to elaborate? What link? What rule? Are you calling me a ban evader? I don't understand.

I'm guessing you just want me to drop the subject. Wish granted.
Not you, danyo and the pandacoin dev.


Shouldn't this:
