Topic: Looks like this guy has been banned forever - the reason ? (Read 275 times)
The guy was clearly not here for Bitcoin or to be part of a crypto community. All he did was post links to his SMS spamming service and thankfully that has now been stopped by the mods. Some people deserve a second chance, but this time the mods made the correct decision.
but newbie may not know about it, so they create a new topic. And I think it is not a very serious crime to lead to the ban. Is this ban really worth it?
Giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming that they are a newbie, you clearly know that they haven't read the rules. If they have read the rules, then they have broken them willingly and thus deserve the ban. If they haven't read the rules, then they're probably going to come back with another account, evade the ban, and then break the rules all over again.Plus...
it had only 11 posts there
They probably got the message when all their posts were removed.
Perhaps this time, they'll read the rules. Not like the whole "no ban evading" has stopped anyone on the forum.
But I don't understand why he's banned, I mean I don't think posting the same content over and over everyday will lead to being banned forever.
Usually, people will bump their topic by post, but newbie may not know about it, so they create a new topic. And I think it is not a very serious crime to lead to the ban. Is this ban really worth it?
Any comments, please!
There should be no spamming, be it self spamming or spamming other peoples posts. This is self spamming, that will be the reason he is banned. Why will someone be posting the same contents daily, this is absolutely wrong. Usually, people will bump their topic by post, but newbie may not know about it, so they create a new topic.

I reported some of his posts as they were duplicates - really gets my OCD going 
This member does the same thing too !

I see a lot of spammers with duplicate posts, but slightly different subject headers - still duplicate posts and deserve deletion and possible ban if it is incessant in my opinion .

Yes, it is a big deal with other guys who are similar to him. Previously, I only had about 10-15 emails in my inbox (from more section) when I woke up, and most of them were important to see. But recently, it's almost 40 emails in my inbox every time I wake up It increased significantly, but the content became tedious by those guys
It increased significantly, but the content became tedious by those guys When you enable emails, do they also mention if you get quoted, or just the standard "There are new replies to thread X"?
This is the guy who smashes my email notification (smartphone) on the services board, idk I keep getting emails from voip services same as he spamming and with the adsense guys on services as well, and forces me to disable it for the meantime.

But many other guys are still there other than spamming the same thing the mods probably put into the account that irishgeoff has bee advertising(spamming) his service on other service announcements is against forum rules.

the mods might have even given him temp bans, but he probably didn't care and continued spamming.
Well, I have not checked his deleted posts before 
yesterday, when I looked at his profile, it had only 11 posts there, I thought it was all he wrote and it could be the first offense And it would be bad if someone was banned for the first time, right? But it seems he violated deliberately the rules despite undergoing a ban Now, I believe the ban is deserved Mod deleted all his topic, and my posts were deleted

Bumping a thread is totally different from making multiple posts with similar content. I am sure his account was nuked on grounds of spamming
This was a case of pure spamming: http://loyce.club/archive/members/277/2777313.html The mods might have even given him temp bans, but he probably didn't care and continued spamming.

I checked on BPIP and it seems that it has been banned forever
Yesterday, I had a few comments on one of his topics in the service section. But today, those posts have been deleted without any notice, I'm quite curious so I checked his profile and it seems he was banned.
My curiosity, I looked at his profile yesterday and found that he posted a lot of different topics but their content was similar. I have reported those topics to moderator. But I don't understand why he's banned, I mean I don't think posting the same content over and over everyday will lead to being banned forever.
