Bitcoin is ponzi

Topic: Lots of content gets deleted. MODS, ARE YOU NERVOUS?! (Read 1410 times)
Uh, I think you missed the part just about about how certain types of criticism belong in certain fora. Ie, this is meta, and a critizism of "bitcoin as ponzi" isn't a comment on the forum software, so it's in the wrong forum.
It is related to the topic of this thread which is censorship. I was testing whether or not censorship is evident. Now we wait for the results.
If I was a mod, I would certainly move your criticism of bitcoin to a part of the forum where criticism of bitcoin is relevant. Whether or not bitcoin is a ponzi is irrelevant to "meta", so the criticism is misplaced. To recap, OP accused mods of censorship, mods replied that most of what they do is move things to the proper places and then folks who don't look carefully think they've been censored. Then you followed up by posting an off-topic, misplaced criticism of bitcoin into a thread in meta. IMO, the test should be whether or not the mods move your criticism into "bitcoin discussion". If they do, then they are following what they said above. This would be organization, not censorship.
EDIT: For info and posterity, here's a nice little thread accusing bitcoin of being a ponzi which is active right now: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/why-i-see-bitcoin-as-a-ponzi-scheme-901881 I think you can find plenty such threads if you look in the right sections of the forum. Cheers!

Of course censorship is evident, this is a privately run forum.I knew that the moment I signed up years ago.
Didn't you too?
I meant censorship in the form of suppressing anti-bitcoin views. As a Bitcoin forum staff must stay neutral in this respect. Other topics is a different story.
Well this a bitcoin forum, so a neutral stance is never going to happen is it. Maybe this isn't the place for you.
You are certainty free to start your own anti-bitcoin forum, but of course naturally that won't be neutral either.
antibitcointalk.org is available
who wants to buy the domain and hosting? ill do the rest
I wish you luck with whatever your trying to achieve.
now we approached the point where the mods run wild.
All bitcoin criticism is now banned from the forum. Only haleluja and hurray for bitcoin allowed now because it's failing so rapidly.

You should check out some of the posts (not in meta) about keeping your bitcoins secure. Good luck!)

Oftentimes people complain that they're being 'censored' mainly because their thread gets moved into the correct section. You know, the generic half-assed fud speculation on the price threads get moved out of the main bitcoin discussion sub into the speculation one and they throw a hissy fit.
If you've had a post deleted chances are it's spam or has been reported as spam, I'm personally on the lookout for newbie members and senior members alike who try to necro bump old posts and make generic one liner comments. if you don't want your posts getting deleted! Don't make shit posts and have an actual conversation with people! This place isn't your own personal spam/money making area.
As for criticism of mods etc. I have been here for almost two years and despite what I've posted I have never been banned or even really warned, I've had one or two posts that were deleted for being off topic but they seem to have gotten lax about even that now, probably because they have bigger problems like spambots to worry about.

I see bitcoin criticism everywhere everytime, even now.
You may have been offensive, or just like the guy above described.
Mods don't ban opinions even if they are negative.
