Doesn't matter if you're giving away bearshit, you can't give away things even if they worthless. Sad

The reason is because it spams up the forum with useless posts of people claiming said giveaways. You should have set up a faucet website off forum that gave away testcoins.

We already have. All this is a big misunderstanding.

This was not done deliberately by Mr. Spread.

So I would really appreciate it, if you could remove his ban, because this was never intended and will not happen again.

spreadcointalk.org will have to do Cheesy

It doesn't matter if they have no value or not, it's not a mistake. The rules are about curbing the spam that results from giveaways.

Altcoin giveaways are not allowed.

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

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.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

I honestly don't know how this can be more clear.

Thank you for the answer and for clarifying your position. But may I ask: it's possible to un-ban Mr. Spread anyway? It will be hard to keep up thread of our coin for 2 weeks without him. If it's not possible, I hope that it will be at least permitted if one of us will relay his most important messages to Bitcointalk.

I understand what you're saying but:

1. We were testing masternodes which require 100 test coins to setup.
2. The only way for people to setup the masternode to test was to have 100 test coins sent to them.

I absolutely understand if there was value to the coins and we were giving people incentive to post. There was no incentive though, it was simply the only way to get them the coin so they could help us test. As such, my hope is that our thread would fall under the exception theymos left open when he said:

It sounds like a gunine mistake was made.

Give the man his account back while he and the spread community test at an important point in time.

This is in a wrong section, move it to ban appeal section. Also it's questionable to unban him it's still spamming with addresses even if it was test network as it isn't difference between altcoin address spamming and bitcoin spamming.
Althrought i'm curious about this case.

Can you link me to that section please?

This was for testing SpreadCoin MasterNodes only, but I understand the confusion.
I realy do hope Mr Spread will be un-banned, he is a great developper who is pushing crypto in general forward.

It's not only about the ban (although a ban of main developer is quite painful for a coin, you know). It's about policy in such cases. So we better wait for answer with some official weight, from some moderator or administrator, thank you.

It was only my opinion man

i'm currious about how the moderator will handle this. I feel you.

The Ban is a mistake as the coins have no value because they are on the testnet

As mentioned, the coins were Testnet coins. There is no monetary value associated with them and were needed in order for testing purposes only.

Please reinstate Mr Spread.
