Topic: thepiratebay.org banned bitcoinmarkets account due to "bitcoin is ponzi scheme" (Read 6607 times)

Skewing news, it's the blogging generation.

It appears one or more people are using this historic event to claim the following misleading idea:

This is inaccurate and I am quite disappointed that I have to follow-up on this issue to point out the exaggeratedness of this claim especially without anything to back it up, a claim created out of thin air.

Just because one bitcoin-related torrent was removed which is known (because I caused a scene and documented it in relation to my torrent not being spam), does not mean all bitcoin-related torents will be removed.  In fact, if you review the information in the beginning of this thread you will have realized that there were many bitcoin torrents that existed and remained even after my bitcoin-related torrent was removed.  Again, fucking obnoxious claim is fucking obnoxious.

Just because in relation to the scene caused, one or more people that mentioned bitcoin were banned from #thepiratebay.org does not mean all people that mention bitcoin will be banned from #thepiratebay.org.  Again, FUUUCKING obnoxious claim.

I see some people that recurringly exaggerate or make partially inaccurate statements to misleadingly spread awareness of situations or entities/organizations/people and several other individuals jumping on the same bandwagon without recognizing the truth or accuracy of such claims.  Wtfever though.  To each their own reputation.

Though i'm still curious about the details of the mishap.

meh, bury the hatchet man

So you jump on hasty conclusions without knowing the facts and then you try to lecture us on jumping on hasty conclusions without knowing the facts?

Respect.  The guy took a sec out of his day to pop open another tab in his browser to just let us know it was a mishap, definitely didn't have to do that, and quite shocking to see around these parts lol

Thanks for taking the time to come here and resolve this issue! Nice to see such things being settled peacefully and not resulting in a flamewar for a change

Exactly. To me, it appears the whole efnet thing is just a cover for an earlier fuck-up probably generated by someone's ego being too large. Saying that him coming in the channel is like trolling is ridiculous: how else is he supposed to get it resolved? The original problem is made worse by thin stories put on top of an act of stupidity. If WTC-SWE just said "it was a screw up, I'm sorry. You're unbanned" then that would be an apology. But an apology with a lump of lies and a side helping of an appeal to guilt (oh woe be my op problems, you don't even know). It's a bunch of shit.

And I don't care what I say because I don't need to worry about being banned. I don't use that crap.

No, i mean, if they thought it was just spam/advertising, how did they come to the conclusion it was specificly a ponzi scheme?

First post

Where did the ponzi accusation come from though?

(read post above)

Thanks for resolving the issue and thanks for clarifying your assessment of the situation.  My apologies for the unnecessary inconvenience/grief caused by me.

this sounds reasonable. as a high-profile trolling playground like TPB sometimes extreme measures must be taken.

thanks for providing an explanation and keep up the good work in providing TPB.

btw - i'm quite sure the number of bitcoin signatures in releases will increase exponentially in the future

It' wasn't our attention to misscredit or keep bitcoin out of TPB.There're plenty of stuff uploaded and none have been deleted nor banned(accounts).The reason for the IRC ban and lately a second,was because of massive spambots/people that kept flooding all over Efnet the last 3-5 days.We simply thought they were "trolling"
Also the torrent got flagged as spam/adverts and therefore the ban.We deal with millions of users on daily basis and misstakes happens all time.The thing is that i lifted the ban and cleared the hash.I even apologized to the guy ->> [ mizerydearia ]. He replied/quoted back with this -->>  ( My idea of one or more of those individuals being incompetent still stands.) even after i explained the situation for him.

I honestly got disappointed and pissed off after i read it,therefore my request telling him to leave the channel.Is it so damn hard for people to understand that their situation ain't unique ? and that there're millions of torrents/spammer/trolls/fakers to deal with?

The only guy that understood the whole situation and acted reasonable was ->> [ genjix ] on his second post. ( Well that's nice to know that it was a misunderstanding. These things usually are and it can be hard being a mod. I guess bitcoinmarkets did look commercial at first glance, especially if you're busy.) [ genjix ] was the second in line to join IRC and unfortunetely he got backfired from me in the heat.
Really sorry about that [ genjix ]

The where none more after that, as some loves to exaggerate on the thread mentioned above.You guys have a nice community/forum in here,but it's sad to see certain members jumping on hasty conclussions without knowing the facts.

Also when i mentioned the "permanent ban" it was because of the copypaste and altered truth.I definetely wouldn't agree on it if i knew how the situation would escalate.We're not bad guys,the opposite i should say.We try to help people 24/7  5.089.311 registered at this stage and issues are to be solved.

If i were an egoist i would never try to explain nor make an account in here to end this.I'd probably hear a lot more "laughs" or arrogant comments,but at least i took the first step(s) to end this crappy situation.How you guys procide,it's up to you.I am far to old for grudges or "internet" issues".


Take care and have a nice day/evening.


Kindly regards
WTC-SWE

Yet another admin internet powertripping while exposing himself to be an absolute idiot.

I do. What alternatives am I missing?

Who on earth gives a f**k what some random TPB admin thinks???
Who at all uses the pirate bay any more??
Alternatives are just much better, and this example maybe explains why they lost the race...

He's such an intelligent guy!

Man oh man, thanks for the quotes because I was having some what a bad day today, those quo... Well here


made me almost spit my food out, laughing so hard.

So I didn't get kicked for asking about bitcoin, but saw this while idling:
