Topic: Why are FUD-trolls allowed to open 4 topics per day? - page 2. (Read 623 times)
It might be that person want someone to drag with him by creating a fuss about FUD with the current situation of the market at this time. Well most people like him will lose confidence in crypto and can't also think positively.
I've come across a couple of his post over the past weeks, and I initially though s/he was someone you could reason with and discuss factually, I've long been proven wrong.
Best option is probably to put the account on ignore.
Restricting such FUDs in any form, would spark another kindle of FUD. Directed against the forum, and how it's against criticism.
No-one genuinely interested in bitcoin should be much deterred much by such FUD as they are everywhere and we can't control all of it.

Restriction on his posting ability should be implemented maybe a limit, no proof he's getting paid as he doesn't wear signature nor image advertising any product. He create over 3 FUD post in a single day. He was already on my ignore list after I came across one of his August post. The dude is just confused
I'm thinking about freightjoe for example: Why are FUD-trolls allowed to open 4 topics on a day, meanwhile spamming the same FUD in many other topics? Why is this allowed on Bitcointalk? I mean, if you don't like Audi, you don't go to an Audi forum and open 4 topics about how much you dislike it per day, right? Why is it allowed to do that here?
I can only think of a few reasons for doing this: someone is getting paid to do this (as part of a FUD campaign in the media from some "established parties" against crypto), or someone is trolling because he missed the boat and hopes to buy more cheaper, or just shorting Bitcoin. Whatever the reason is, I think it's toxic to this community.
Each of his topics quickly grows to a few pages because of the generic signature spammers, so his FUD gets all the exposure he needs.
So again, my question is: why is this allowed? I know this forum values freedom of speech, but can't his FUD be restricted to just one topic? Let it grow into a Spam Megathread instead of spamming several boards on a daily basis.
This is the internet, you're bound to find people like this everywhere. I mean, trolling has become a new source of income for some people.

You would be surprised, but he may actually be serious on his beliefs about bitcoin, and might even be insane enough to think that all of what he says is true. There are so many people who do that. But you can't really ban people like these because one, freedom of speech is "violated", and besides it takes seconds to create another account to come back. Winning a battle isn't equivalent to winning a war.
Toxicitiy has taken over the internet. I guess I'd rather have toxicity than having no internet.
freightjoe is very well known for his FUD threads/post at a time when BTC does not stand well in terms of price. I try to reply few times in his threads with what I considered constructive to write - but his opinion is unchangeable. Although everyone has the right to their own opinion, as LoyceV says - he is sometimes exaggerated in that.
I notice he is come back again, and I post in one of his thread where he actually called the users ( present and future users ), stupid, fools, mentally retarded.

There is always the third possibility, he is just mad at the world. I've been dealing with people that make accounts after accounts in a local forum I'm lurking just to troll and start flame topics even when there is no financial incentive.
Anyhow, you know the solution:
No real/experienced bitcoiner/trader will take any of freightjoe's posts or comments about the bitcoin seriously,and anyone who does is probably a noob who shares the same views as him and it's best the forum ignores him/his kinds
He's freely allowed to air his shitty views,its down to the gullible to swallow it.There are more than enough topics and threads about the bitcoin and it's history for anyone to know freightjoes talking trash

Looking at freightjoe's recent post history would make you think that he hates Bitcoin to the highest level and is completely against it, while if you have a look at the deeper history of his posts, around November of last year, you would find him announcing a project named "Bitcoin Ruthenium", which he claimed to be a fork of the Bitcoin Blockchain. Now, if a person really hates something that he can't even stand it and keeps talking negative about it, why would he work on a project that is solely based on that exact thing that he doesn't even like?
He is either purposely doing all this in order to spread fear among the noobs and get a drop on the price in order to buy lower, or he has invested some money back in time and is hurt by the current drop which is why he is not being able to control his emotions. In either way, he doesn't deserve a lot of attention.

I brought him up in the staff forum back in February. Obviously just a troll account. Pretty sure he is NLC as well. Probably best to just ignore him because nothing will likely be done about it.
Anyone who has to travel around by free-riding freight trains is possibly not the best person to give investment advice. On the other hand, he may just be miffed because his railway network doesn't accept Bitcoin in payment for travelling tickets.
The market is too hard for some people to take it. He is just in deppresion stage 
. Will be just fine in the next bull run.
I doubt that anything that happens on this forum will ever have any effect on the market. So, shorting Bitcoin and creating FUD here will never work, in my opinion.
As i can see the topics are started by different people, they just like to see that side of the glass.

I think the reason is "Everything is accepted here except spamming" if someone opens 4 topics for one same issue. just report it. I don't think he is getting paid more likely another guy with 24/7 weed mood.
