In a world of peaches, don't ask for apple sauce

I support and agree with this 100% but I think its going to need to be taken a little bit farther.

I think that anyone that is caught supporting a "Scam" or known "Scammer" should also be moderated in such a way as ban or indefinite removal. This forum is about the crypto community and the scammer community is trying to take it over and action needs to be taken!

From https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-list-of-official-bitcointalkorg-rules-guidelines-faq-703657:

Q: Why haven't you banned nsert scammer username here> who is an obvious scammer?
A: Possible (or real, not for me to decide) scams are not moderated to prevent moderator abuse. If we start picking out which ones we call "scammers" and ban, we would make a lot of decisions based on biased opinions.

Add in shaky evidence and the volume of possible cases and that is why we don't moderate scams. Also, did you actually read the OP. It says FUD is NOT moderated so taking it further would mean not moderating more stuff.

Hello mprep

I'm part of the Darkcoin community and spend most of my time on BCT in the [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX thread

As you would no doubt know, we've had many many examples of people posting FUD and undertaking concerted campaigns against Darkcoin. We currently have an individual who is posting lies and slander about the lead developer of Darkcoin, Evan Duffield and the Darkcoin community in general. Many of us have directed him to numerous posts and documents on why the issue he's constantly referencing isn't anything of concern to investors and the community and that it's something that was sorted long ago. But he's simply continuing on relentlessly determined to do damage.

INSTAMINE ALERT

Attention: The developers and insiders instamined 2+ million DRK in the first 48 hours of launch.

SCAM IN PROGRESS

I think it needs to be dealt with by a BCT mod.

Okay, thanks. If you have any ideas on how to handle someone like this (apart from the usual everyone putting him on ignore) please let me know.

You can always suggest OP to close the old thread and open up a self-moderated one.

I don't care about what its name is,I care about whether the pool mining issue can be fixed.

There is no issue. The coin was designed to make pool mining a ridiculous idea. If you pool mine then you will lose your coins. Unless you get into a pool that you completely trust. The likelihood of that happening is slim, which means that coins will be greatly decentralized. We may see a few small pools popping up, but they will not let in anyone they don't trust. The coin is working perfectly as planned.

If you never mine at nonce-pool,please shut up!

I'm sorry, have you mined at nonce-pool? Do you know what is going on here? Perhaps your lost.

Yes,I do mine at nonce-pool.It works as well as any other coin with no difference.

Well since the pool function works perfectly go ahead and send me your login credentials.
Unless of course your lying, or you realize that I could steal from the other miners. But if neither of these things are true go ahead and send me the log in credentials. Once I take a picture to prove it to the world you can change your password and all will be well again.

Well since you have a dick,show us your dick,otherwise we'll believe you are an eunuch.Is this your stupid logic ?

The solid proof of the existence of pools. Wink

happy to see my old post surfacing again~ Grin

You deserve a reward for such bravery ! Cheesy

Now run and hide lest the burn you at the stake ! Shocked

Thanks ,hippie.
I've already been rewarded for my wise judgement.

I treat spr ,eps spr mn,as a perfect speculative tool,which gives people a high expectation to boost the price to go up and up day by day .

It costs me $16 power fee to mine 62K spr with 2 I7 cpu in the early months and sold them between 55k-67k sato before spr mn test was launched.

I deeply understand spr mn is totally a gimmick without any use,that explains why the price halved after spr mn test was launched.

Let's wait for the second round of big fall after official mn is released. Grin

Say what you will about me and me not having any difference to this guy, but just to clarify so that i can do the same thing elsewhere, do the mods allow such spam ?

As alt cryptocurrency forum is large enough to need more than one moderator, so that they can manage the alt cryptocurrencies section in a better way.

I'm not the only one moderating this section. All global moderators and admins can moderate (and do moderate) this section. Patroller mods moderate all newbie posts around the forum.

Thats pretty good if all global moderators and admins are moderating this section.

After receiving a lot of PMs about this subject, seeing a lot of reports of this kind and after one of the global mods PMed me with suggestions regarding this topic, I thought that I should cover it:

Possible (or real, not for me to judge) FUD, accusations or statements are not moderated.

Moderators don't moderate for truth. However, trolling isn't allowed. If a user is habitually posting obviously false nonsense just to stir up trouble, then it's considered trolling, which is prohibited. However, such cases should be thoroughly documented in the report (There are tons of reports that just say "trolling", but moderators don't have time to look through each user's post).

Possible (since we don't have the time or resources to check) insults are also allowed as long as they contain any kind of constructive opinion, info or something else substantial and aren't off-topic. For example, posting something like "you are dumb" will be deleted as it contains no meaningful content. However, if the post is somehwere along the lines of "You are dumb. This is wrong because this website/thread/etc. has explained it's not right", it's in most cases accepted.

Possible scams aren't moderated either due to the fact that's it's extremely hard to make an unbiased decision on a limited amount of evidence and time. Moderators don't have time to be investigators.

Legal note: This is forum policy, not mine.

Then remove this thread. This is not only illegal hosting of private content, but way beyond what you guys should be allowing.

The moderation is basically a libertarian approach just as the whole BTC thing has a libertarian concept around it.
To the ill educated ones who cant quite grasp the sensible moderation approach please visit your local library and read everything.
Seriously? Roll Eyes

Of all the places you would imagine the libertarian concept to be fully understood it would be here. But nah, we see
the same brainwashed hordes running around demanding their liberties be taken away from them.
Doesnt matter the reason, their always the same
Ultimately these people shoot themselves in the foot.

The mods approach is correct!

While there are a few libertarians on this board, they are in the minority - just like in real live.
As you stand on your pedestal castigating the "ill educated", keep in mind that

• [miners] are in complete control of Bitcoin's production in the absence of a central authority
• [miners] are remunerated proportionally for their effort
• The entire Bitcoin ecosystem is entirely dependent on a [consensus-based blockchain]

Now, replace
[miners] with [workers]
[central authority] with [factory owners, landowners, etc.]
[consensus-based blockchain] with [democratic blockchain]

What do you have? Limited socialism at play.

I also used to think the forum administrators were libertarians. Now I realize they are just apathetic.

It's almost as if Libertarian is a term for people who have Socialist views, but who refuse to recognize (or are just too self-centered to acknowledge) the economic input of a society larger than that which can be confined within the space of their own two footprints. Anti-social Socialists, you might say.
