This is great! for the forum business to get donator status,
so you don't have to talk to them, unless they each come up with 10BTC.
which is very very unlikely.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/get-donator-status-by-donating-10-btc-38071

Think about that and smoke it.  Lips sealed

You won't ever have to hear anything from them, unless you look in gen pop, because they will never donate.
So you get a level of protection from the unwashed masses.  Wink
Free from the scourge of the land, just 10 BTC.

Just 10 BTC, you get your own VIP entrance completely away from all of SA.

Sounds enticing doesn't it??

10BTC, no trollers, no spammers.

They don't belong on this forum they belong where they come from SA.

What about those of us who joined SA after their epic Bitcoin thread started?  Are we ok?

I love how many of the most prolific bitcoin backers, who one would think support free speech, call anyone who disagrees with them some combination of a 13-year-old child, an idiot, or a troll.  It's the perfect way to shut down a conversation without having to actually respond to the message.

Sure, there are SA trolls in this forum.  There are also people from SA who think bitcoin as an idea is nice, but that the community is being overrun with scammers preying on idealistic libertarians.  You may disagree with their methods, but I defy anyone to say that scams aren't a huge problem right now.

Speaking as a lurker on both forums- sure, some of the SA posters can get a little...hyperbolic.  The same can be said about posters here (does anyone really believe that Matthew Wright has 30 business correspondents who are anonymous and have never posted anything on a bitcoin forum?)  But that's not at all the same as saying anyone who dissents with popular opinion is a troll.  Skepticism is a sign of a healthy, inquisitive mind- and I have to say, I see a lot more of it over on Something Awful than I do over here.

Hey, we tried to throw you guys a line on Matt Wright and Bruce being horrible scammers ruining the community, but you chose to whitewash the forums...

You don't really seem very libertarian. Are you sure this is the right currency for you?

fake accusations has no flavor. They don't belong on this forum they belong where they come from SA.

Immigrants go home!  We don't take kindly to yer type 'round here!

create a sub-forum for them they BRING no value to this forum I would say a lot of forum members here would agree!

A sub forum is a great idea. We could call it the Great SA Concentration Camp.

I propose the same method of procedure for jews. Got to flag those subhumans; they are a threat to the public.
Now now, have some perspective...

(Sorry, fellow goons, couldn't resist the joke - one of you has the singular honour of being the only person to talk about yiffing on any of the Bitcoin IRC channels since I started logging.)

More seriously: they appear to have managed to dig up the kind of information about Bruce Wagner that has been desperately needed for months. They might even end up saving Bitcoins, or at least killing them to save them. If someone had found this earlier it would've saved a lot of trouble...

(and no, it's not because I lack a credit card, it's because it's easy to write Bitcoins off as imaginary money to spend them on silly shit)

Problem is I'm not sure I'd trust any goons to not just take the payment and then delete their wallet for other goons' enjoyment at my expense. Sad
Possibly wise; most of them, errm us, feel the same way about Bitcoins as you...

Spam and trolling Differing opinions and dissent will continue to be removed, but it is not a crime to come here from SA, merely shameful and embarrassing. Maybe these newcomers will bring with them some interesting and useful ideas, which our community will promptly ignore as it has done so many times in the past.

Fixed that for ya.

If anyone at SA is reading this, I'd be happy to donate some money to your forums.  Of course, only if you accept bitcoins!

I'd buy an SA account if someone sold them for Bitcoins. Sad

Hello, I'm from the somethingisawful forums and I was told to report here for my Jewish Badge?  

Please don't send me to the work camps.

Funny, how I'm being proven right! look at all of them!  Grin
Yes, sir.  I agree, sir.  Please don't send me back into the bit-mines, sir.  I'm afraid my graphics card can't take any more.
