Topic: My account SebastianJu banned for 14 days now? - page 5. (Read 5876 times)

I don't even know now if I can do another post now or if I have to edit the old post, adding this there. Risking that the old was was read already and my change will not be noticed. *sigh* Strange things I have to think about...

Anyway, i think the previous post might be too old so here a signature message.

If someone can post it in my service thread, see my mainaccounts profile, then this would be great.


I hope a solution can be found for the pm system since when i think about moving the trades to email then it sounds like a potential security risk to traders again. They would need to verify somehow that they actually are the same persons that have the deal on the forum.

I thought you refer of advertising another company being somewhat shady. Theymos allows sig campaigns so there is no point arguing about it. If you didn't mean that an escrow should not advertise then I don't know what you refered to.


I did not check out your signature fully. I know you are one of the very rare businessmans on bitcointalk that I trust. Your businesses are running fine and shareholders are happy. You are not inept or scammy like you can read in the trust rating I gave you long ago, as well as adding you to my trust list. If there is no incentive for you in all this then man, you impress me way more now.

First off, theymos runs this community.  He sells space here for the service that is provided.  Members getting paid to advertise to this community using this community is not the same.  If theymos is a manure salesman, that doesn't give you the right to get paid to shit in his customer's yard.  That is another topic though.

Secondly, I don't advertise a company.  I advertise my safe escrow services for this community, cool coins I make which I donate nearly all proceeds to NastyFans, and my NastyMining thread that I HAVE DONATED TIME AND FREE ELECTRICITY TO FOR NEARLY FOUR YEARS.  I love Bitcoin and I think what I'm doing is cool and honest so I try and make it known.

Please don't put our actions in the same category.

Well, I guess with the amounts you escrow all the time it is a fulltime job, including such earnings. I joined signature campaigns since I thought i post anyway, why not getting paid for it. And I check out the websites I advertise.

If you think that is wrong then you would have to criticize theymos too, what you surely won't do, but the forum is auctioning adspace so the connection to the advertising company is not much different.

You realize that you wear a signature that pays you too? The only difference is that you can fully back that company. I only can do a slight check, though that is the same with theymos.

Mitchell wrote something like "and you even wore a signature". Which doesn't sound like it would not happen when you don't wear a sig campaign.

Well, guess the only solution if you don't want to post multiple posts in a row would be to be a forum addict, staying online all the time. I don't have that time unfortunately. Guess fulltimespammers will be happy with that solution. Or would it be fine when I post a single post and wait until at least another post was done by another user? Rules become way more difficult all the time now.

Though nearly all signatures are paid signatures in some form. Only because someone doesn't have an own company to advertise for he would get paid from another person. But advertising an own company is still a paid signature. Only some have signatures that don't serve a monetary purpose.

Thanks for considering it. I guess iam not allowed to send private messages with that account, so maybe someone other can send a pm to grue?

I actually wonder if you read this, hidden in all the other posts.

---

Thanks for the offer mexxer, I will wait if grue, badbear, theymos or hilariousandco can see the possibility of a solution through forum pm before I try to use other forms of contacting the escrow parties.

Yes, it's strange to see how some threads get newbies posting the same short answer over and over again, sometimes answering the same questions with the same answer with newbie accounts that look like they are owned by the same person anyway.

Well, guess they only need to leave some posts in between and they are fine.

well its kinda anyoing see seb banned for making real different statements, they are still in a row i know, while it is still tolerated that people post the same shit (by content) over several pages...

I highly recommend you doing this and I'll vouch if needed.

Or Grue/BadBear/Theymos and maybe even HilarousAndCo. I can only do so much.

Yep, oh the freedom us non-camapigners have...  

@Sebastian, just for public reference, can you sign a message that your account was banned so that I can quote it and paste it on your escrow thread, so that no one mistakes you for another escrow scammer?

Also a good idea might be to change your signature and add your email addy(temp works fine) for others to contact you about refunds and whatnot

Edit:Apparently grue is up

I know that with big posts it often looks cleaner to use multiple posts, but as you are wearing a paid signature, it makes the whole case more complicated. I usually use [hr] and [hr][hr] if I want to separate two messages and that seems to work fine.

I don't have the authority to say anything about this, so you'll have to wait for someone else to answer this. Sorry.

I don't think it is against the forum rules make multiple posts in a row, few months ago I've opened a thread regarding that fact ... it's all about the sig. ad (nothing else).

You can always use [ hr ] to seperate two sections of your post. It's a clear cut and you can show where one logical section begins and ends.

That's vague. We're not talking about PMs here. We're talking about public posts, that every user can see, those quoted, those directly related and those that have nothing to do with it.
Also, the problem lies in you getting paid for your signature, and accumulating a lot of posts in that way (often 4 or 5 after each other) that would be 1 post otherways.
Also, your signature is shown 5 times, when you do individual posts, instead of 1 time, when you would answer everything in one post.

Sorry for that.

I remember someone telling me that and till then I already made way less posts in a row. Though that wasn't you or another staff member, right? I explained that user that every answer to other persons that are hidden in one post, that looks like it is directed to another user, will most probably been read over. Especially when you break the answer to the first person into quotes to answer single points of hit post. Surely I would have taken it more seriously realising that the warning was coming from staff. Did I not see the staff mark only? Anyway, I'm sorry about not following when staff told me about it.

One could ask what's better in posting one huge post than 3 posts in a row, taking the same space nearly but are in a clear order and easy to read. You use paragraphs too to format a text and surely no one writes a letter to three people and puts all the text into one letter, hoping that the other two read it too somehow. Everyone would read the start and thinks it is directed to another use.

Anyway, if those are the rules I was not aware that it are actual rules.

So can we maybe speak about a solution for the escrow problem? If you think posting was the problem then maybe make me stop posting for a time, even though I got the point anyway already, but private messages were not part of the problem but probably will become a problem in the near future. Can you maybe allow me to send private messages at least to handle the escrow part? I really don't want to be put wrongly in the same pot as recent negative escrow cases.

^ That's kinda off-topic you two. This is about SebastianJu.

There's still always the edit button, as long, as you're not doing all your posts in the Auction section.

Soooooorry, but our conversation was initiated by his postings, so it's like 1% on topic
mexxer, let's continue in PM.

Its not that bad when you 1) Don't do it regularly 2) Don't have a paid signature while doing so and 3rd, haven't been privately warned by a moderator
Edit:
Riiight, you get carried away when you don't have a campaign manager's hot breath down your neck I guess 

I remember telling you the same, when you wrote me "double posting isn't that bad, SebastianJu does it all the time".

I remember telling him the same , sometime after Nov. apparently he didn't get the message.

Anyway, the temp-ban... work of grue I suppose?

SebastianJu, you were temporarily banned because you kept making multiple posts in a row, which that could have been posted in one. You have been warned about this before and having a paid signature doesn't help.

Example 1
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13885766
Four consecutive posts that could have been posted in one.

Example 2
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13886091
Another 3 consecutive posts.

Example 3
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13887359
Another 3 consecutive posts.

Example 4
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13890264
Another 2.

Example 5
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13890417
Another 2.

These are just five examples from yesterday and today. I'm pretty sure I could have found more, but I'm not going to bother.

This was not an automated ban, but I've written (and I'm running) a bot that checks posts made by newbies.

I'm pretty sure I don't have ADHD but thats a big wall of text there. And no I was addressing the guy above me, as I quoted him

Also, even though I'm pretty sure it was your(@Seb now) LQ necro posts in English that lead to this ban, seems you are much more regularly posting in German section. Sho might help catergorizing, if those too were LQ post or not.

P.S: I'm pretty sure I saw QS in your post even though it was I "tl;dr"ed the post. Now what is that about in a thread about your ban?

Even more so if you're fond of randomly replying to people who posted something ages ago, but can't put it all in a single post

Probably not the best idea to have a paid signature when you're trying to conduct business on the forums as a reputable individual.  My BTC0.00000002.

If this was meant to me then too then I think the only post that was dead already was me requesting badbear about why he thinks bans should not be seen. I mean even now I think, what should users do Iam in an escrow trade with? They would not see that Iam banned and could assume I try to scam.

Besides that today I went through my profiles notifications since I sometimes lose threads answers where I did not get an email notification or made another error. It doesn't mean that these threads are not worth anymore to answer to. I wonder why you think old threads need to die.

Regarding prevision... ah no, you wrote you are accused of being an alt of Quickseller, you are online all the time too, being a scambuster and all and today I wrote about why I did not trust all of his negative ratings. Forbid me the thought that your prevision was led by knowledge maybe. I only thought of the possibility, no accusation.

Though it might be important to know if this might be an automated ban of some kind. Can this be? Are there banbots on the forum?

I don't have time to go through all the threads new answers every day so it happens that I take the time to go through after 2 days only. Of course I want to answer to those posts that are new to me. I don't see why it should not be allowed. I mean you practically say that you have to have online daily to answer posts. Who on this forum is here all day except sig spammers, scam busters and so on? The vast majority is posting way more seldom. Are away for days. So why should there be a rule to not answer to posts that are new to you?

Besides, I do max 4 posts in a row when I want to answer many posts in a tread. Do you say there is a rule that would demand that I have to have to wait one post from another user after I make another answer? Sounds like a mess actually. And putting all answers in one post surely is not helpfull too since when I hide answers to other persons in a thread that has an answer to another person on top then mostly these answers will be not seen. Besides... i had complaints for writing too long posts too already. Guess there is not way to do it right then.

Anyway this sounds like unwritten rules and if rules are hidden it is impossible to not go against them. I did not read about such rule coming into existence.

Thanks for your offer to post what I want to say though that could not help in the escrow trades since traders might want to be A) anonymous to other forum members and B) might need to send me a bitcoin address to release the coins to. Both are confidential data often enough and the "don't send pm's" can't be solved with that.
