Topic: The stupidest thread on bitcointalk. (Read 4390 times)

Damn. I might as well sell all my Bitcoin and lock my account. What’s even the point anymore after this?

The 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Reaches $100K thread is no more… You guys won.

i have @OGNasty on ignore

I wouldn’t care any less about what thread gets locked or have its name changed simply because its milestone has been reached. I don’t think that’s the way most of the threads out here on the forum is being treated.

Like you have a beginner ask;
How do I send Bitcoin from my mycelium wallet and
Some other user comes up and say, you copy the recipient address, click send, paste address, define amount, define fee and send.
With that being archived by the beginner, the thread gets locked! I haven’t seen a lot of that on the forum.

I think it is time for somebody else to create another thread with the title:

“An obviously off-topic thread in Meta”

When that thread (the thread which complains about this one) is full, create another one which complains about the earlier one and eureka we can keep debating foreva. Endless post making cheat

You have spent this thread arguing with me but I don't remember you saying anything bad about the other thread. You're saying it now in this one because I'm exposing your double standard.

You're not going to explain what my thread was about, mate.

And by the way, I don't buy that you want this thread to be locked. I haven't counted but I'm pretty sure you are the second after me who has posted the most in this thread. So I don't look at what you say but what you do, and what you do shows that you find this thread so interesting to debate in that you don't stop posting here.

I think an option would be to exclude yourself with not getting notified on certain [...] users if it pleases you to do so than, being worked up by it, after raising some level of concerns but, don’t get the expected reaction. It could be, people aren’t seeing what your seeing or your not seeing what people are gaining from it.

After all, it's a free forum that promotes freedom of speech.

I never said that the other thread should never get locked, especially now that the challenge has been completed.

This thread was never about the thread getting locked by the creator but about it being moved by a moderator.

But you also apply a double standard here, like mindrust. First you seem to be annoyed by the thread but you don't stop participating in it. Stop replying and the thread will die on its own.

But then you say this thread has to be locked and you don't say anything about the other one that is titled:

So you're very upset that this is an endless discussion but you don't mind the endless discussion of the other. That's a textbook double standard.

Because just as Push Ups Increases Cardiovascular Health, by elevating a person's heart rate and supporting heart health, and likewise Boost Metabolic Rate by building muscle, which increases a person's resting metabolic rate and helping with weight management, as a long term Bitcoin investor, these are  essential criteria we need for longevity of life and Bitcoin investment, which is why I think I agree with OgNasty, as that thread is totally not off topic.

People who think a thread shouldn't continue any longer or shouldn't have started in the first place will share their opinions as long as the thread is open for posters. Unless you lock a thread, you can't say someone can't share their opinion in it and about it.

I won't speak for others, but in my case, I would say that there is a difference between disliking something and disagreeing with it. I have been posting in this thread, not because I dislike it but because I disagree with it, and I have also said that it should get locked at one point after the thread reached a few pages and it was becoming nothing but an endless discussion.

100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge

On the contrary the thread is getting longer because people like you who say you don't like it don't stop posting on it. If you think this thread doesn't make sense to continue I don't know what you are doing writing in it, it's contradictory, but the most curious thing is that there are people saying the same as you many pages ago and the thread continues.

That's what you say. There have been threads on Meta for months calling for action that was not taken until many months later.

Actually the thread is getting longer precisely because of you since you haven’t locked it. I already described you the situation.

What’s the current purpose of this thread? You made your point. Everything has been said about it.

You also reported OG’s thread.

Why not lock yours?

What’s your expectation from this thread? It will only get longer and it won’t solve a thing.

What happens here is that you haven't been following this thread because if the thread is this long is not precisely because of me. Rather due to the jinxers coming here to complain because I and others have called out their BS.

This thread is about a meta issue, it's on topic here unlike the other one.

And even then, I don’t see why you are so concerned. Have you reported the thread? Good. Then it is a decision for the mods now.

And the problem here is? What exactly?

I am asking because I am pretty sure you already know that most sig camp managers don’t pay for posts that were sent in mega threads. Since all the managers check all the posts of the campaign participants manually, they can decide not to pay for those posts.

And even then, I don’t see why you are so concerned. Have you reported the thread? Good. Then it is a decision for the mods now.

Ironically you’ll have your mega WO thread here soon which is based on OG’s mega thread.

Congratz. I guess.

You have created a WO thread about push ups but with visible signatures.

In spite of your expressed concerns, I have no reason to not stand by the statements that I already made.

It seems like you are saying Og took an idea from others to help him make money (I can see this, wouldn't be the first time), he used a fake satoshi screenshot on it for gimmick support, then someone created a script to read the thread to collect and post results.... and these are innovative to you??   To each his own I guess.

I said this thing earlier in this thread, but differently because if you don't have proof that they aren't doing the pushups, you don't have the right to say that they are lying. I know it applies on both sides, but I can't entirely agree with the point that people on that thread are doing this to earn money from their signature campaigns or to complete their post quota because I don't think any sensible campaign manager would count posts where you are making a report in a challenge you are participating in where your post doesn't have any semantic load or quality. And, if a poster is writing a long enough post with some analysis and stuff and the post has some quality, I don't see anything wrong in it if such posts are counted towards their post quotas.

Also, some members such as OgNasty, JayJuanGee, Igebotz, and philipma1957, among others, don't need a specific thread to complete their weekly posts because they efficiently do it outside of that thread. It sounds illogical to say that they are fighting to keep the thread in the Speculation section so that their posts are counted for their signature campaigns. I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't make it any difficult for the participants of that challenge to complete their weekly posts even if the thread is moved to Off-topic, but I don't think the thread belongs to Off-topic because even if there is a challenge involved, the thread is still about speculating about Bitcoin's price.
