Message to barca fans : Want to talk about bad refereeing ? watch PSG 1-6 Barca. You people are the last ones who should talk about corruption and bad referee. About CR7 yes he did score only 2 goals from the penalty box. But this game is all about goals. Finishing is all that counts. Dont believe me? Your team is on the verge of UCL exit because suarez and iniesta couldnt finish. Take that. Message to my fellow RM fans : Yeah it was a good game overall. But dont be overconfident and ignorant. The tie is far from over and with Lewa in madrid leg anything can happen. Its just 2-1.
btw : Take tym to appreciate superb goalkeeping performances from Buffon yesterday and Neur today. Goalkeepers never get praised enough!

According to me You Should Firstly Gain Adequate Knowledge about the Cryptocurrencies and After that I Suggest you to Try to Buy Little Amount of Bitcoins and Try to Grow them By Doing Trading and Doing Some Other Activities that help you to grow your Bitcoins.......

I Think You Need Some Important Information About Bitcoin or other Altcoins Before Buying Bitcoin or any other Coin Because Firstly Gain Some Knowledge and After that Gain Experience about the Bitcoin and Other Altcoins.....

According to me it's Better to Firstly Study the Markets and Having Knowledge about trading and Knowledge about the Coin you are Investing your Money in and Also Have knowledge of the Market Cap, Demand and Supply and Other Things Realted to that Altcoin...........

As You Said Above that Trading is Risky So I Suggest the Newbies who Want to Start Trading that Firstly Get Some Knowledge about Trading Online and then Start Doing Trading Because Trading is a Unpredictable Job and Without Knowledge You can Lose Your All Money.
So Don't Try Out Trading without Proper Knowledge.....

Why you think this should be a bot? Maybe someone is just copy-pasting posts, without any scripts.

Bunch of newbie accounts created to post 20$ winning...looks like bot to me.
Some posts are repeated 2-5 times in one day.

Efficiency advantages should not be the grounds on which to condemn Bitmain, nor should ethics or morality, these were not a part of the founding principles of Bitcoin.  It is written in the rules that PoW mining is a free market as has been said, and is subject to the rules of a free market. It's also disingenuous to claim that shortcuts in the PoW process are an exploit, if they still accomplish the same goal with the same level of security. At most they could be considered an oversight in the design of Merkle–Damgård construction, but in that case they are evenly open to said optimization (patents do not apply to this argument).  The empty block argument is also null, it does not effectively hurt the bitcoin ecosystem, it is simply a byproduct of a process improvement.  That said, I fully side with Nick Szabo in what he said:

"Secret mining advantage is expected. The problem is incentive to oppose incompatible upgrades for secret reasons."

That is it.  No condemnation of shady Chinese backdoor deals about hardware improvements, or how they potentially de-frauded their customers by selling them hardware that was neutered in order to hinder competition and hide their own advantages.  None of that has any bearing on this conversation (though ti deserves its own).  Just remove the roadblocks that hinder future improvement protocols (covert boost), and demand transparency in issues that revolve around bitcoin governance and the future of the protocol instead of hiding behind secret agendas. 

If Bitmain is already taking advantage of ASICboost covertly for their own mining, and they own the patent in their own jurisdiction (again, set morality/ethics of potential infringement aside), then what would prevent them from continuing to use ASICboost technology overtly and reap the same advantage/benefit they are already? If it's to protect the public opinion of their company, they need to take their head out of the sand. Everyone knows what they are about.

I don't think so. Bans are not given out for having a different opinion. They are given out only for spamming and that is linked to paid signatures.
A stricter policy might result in more serious members staying, where as the others might leave. Not a bad outcome

Bans should be given out with reservations

Otherwise, they will quickly get devalued and people start moving to other places where the price for a ban is higher. You should do something really great to get a ban (let alone a permaban). That's why members looking and striving for power should never be made moderators in the first place since they will heavily abuse their moderator's position (too many bans for too little effort) and severely damage the forum reputation as well (i.e. as a place where different opinions are welcomed)

Sure thing. These things are really old, people used them to spam newsgroups and stuff, so they're easy enough to find on the internet.

I made a really small corpus from a few posts from the last couple of pages from this thread and got this:


Here's the code I used, it was on the first page of Google

Talk is cheap, show us the code

Wise, they will quickly get devalued and people cant spam anymore.

Suffice at least theyre not being too lazy well thats why members looking and striving for power should do something similar by changing a word

If the spammers to a moderators position too many bans for too little effort and severely damage the forum reputation as well

He is modifying your own posts above?

#!/usr/bin/env python2
import random
import re

FORBIDDEN = '[]()"\''
TRUNC = re.compile('([!?.]+).*')

class Markov:
    def __init__(self, data=None, order=3):
        self.chains = {}
        self.order = order
        if data:
            self.add(data)

    def add(self, data):
        data = ' '.join(data.lower().split())
        for x in FORBIDDEN:
            data = data.replace(x, '')
        for i in range(len(data)):
            key = data[i:i+self.order-1]
            val = data[i+self.order-1:i+self.order]
            if key not in self.chains:
                self.chains[key] = []
            self.chains[key].append(val)
        return self

    def generate(self, max_length=140):
        try:
            current = random.choice(self.chains.keys())
            length = 0
            generated = []
            while length < max_length:
                last = current
                current = random.choice(self.chains.get(last, ['']))
                generated.append(current)
                length += len(current)
                if any([x in current for x in '!.?']) or not current:
                    break
                current = (last + current)[1:]
            return TRUNC.sub(
                lambda m: m.group(1),
                ''.join(generated).strip().title().capitalize()
            )
        except:
            return ''

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    print Markov(
        unicode(sys.stdin.read(), 'utf-8'),
        order=int(sys.argv[1])
    ).generate()

In this case, the copy-pasting seems to be more of a one-off example, plus he has copied his own post. That maybe the reason why there is no ban.
Agree with Karma being a bitch. 

To be honest it wouldn't take a very smart bot. You could build a markov chain on a ton of posts from the site and it'd spit out posts that made sense.

I am not really sure if this is a very smart bot, or just a lazy man copying others' posts. Whichever case it is, it is against the forum rules.

That seems to be something not covered by the rules

I mean copy-pasting one's own posts, though it shouldn't be welcomed of course. Obviously, a mod should decide on their own what to do in such cases (as the rules explicitly state). Since the forum paradigm looks like using the ban-hammer as rarely as possible (which I totally agree with), I think that a simple warning would suffice (at least, for the first time). I guess this is what has been done in this case. As an aside, don't get too blood-thirsty (remember, karma is a bitch)

Just curious. Not even a temp ban on a user who copy-pasted his own post? The user is still active and posting.
Others seem to be getting perma-banned for copy pasting

Yes in gambling ofcourse we need strategy. Strategy is a method or plan chosen to bring about a desired future, such as achievement of a goal or solution to a problem.
The art and science of planning and marshalling resources for their most efficient and effective use. The term is derived from the Greek word for generalship or leading an army. See also tactics.
