I'm pretty sure if you posted an entire post along the lines of "I'm going to find your family and murder them" with a lot more f bombs etc. that the moderation team wouldn't sit there and do nothing about it. To be honest businesses, ventures, IPOs, etc. are going to be insulted. The moderation team has problems, but that isn't one.

There is a limit. Personal attacks would fall under off topic, the offensive part isn't the problem.
Being offensive toward a mod is though?

No.

Being offensive isn't against the rules.  

And dude, you're starting an IPO, you're going to have detractors, some won't be very nice about it. Reacting the way you are is just suspicious as hell. But yes leaving is probably your best option, you need to develop some thicker skin.
This is one of the weak points of the moderation.
Yeah being offensive is not against the rules, but there needs to be a limit. Being a little offensive okay, but attacking one multiple times in a thread is definitely not okay.

And yes i am indeed complaining about your use of language. You say that:

your a liar and a cheat. if you can write a link to the above where i wrote this i will leave the forum right now. but you can't, because your making it up. i would never threaten someones life over the internet. i did threaten to destroy your project and i did, but i only had to state the facts, and there is nothing wrong with that. it is an obvious fraud. i have said before all you have to do is verify your stock on cryptostocks and i will give you the benifit of the doubt, but you wont because then you will be accountable to your investors.
Good. Facts of an obvious fraud. Here is the problem:

I have never seen you give any facts of any matter whatsoever.
If it really was an obvious scam, giving the facts should suffice.
You complain about attacking your character, yet seem to have no problems issuing personal attacks on your own. As seen by numerous occurrences of 'idiot' and 'troll' in your posts.

This is a thread about bitcointalk moderation, not a thread where you can take turns hurling insults at eachother.

i would never threaten someones life over the internet.

Danny, please release the usernames/contact details of the people who threatened your daughter, its only fair that the witch-hunt is now directed at them.

Guilty as charged.

i stand by that. you don't threaten someones daughter and a witch-hunt is completely different from threatening someones life, you are manipulating what i am saying and taking it out of context, it just shows the lengths you both are going to to do this.

and Darkstone2, however much you want me banned, it will never take away from the fact your an idiot. You should know this just as well as i do.

im not responding to these posts anymore, i will happily speak to the mods about my behaviour but im not answering to either one of you.

you have no idea what you are doing and i've called you both out on it many of times. enjoy your life.

'will destroy your project and kill you' (its still in the petamine thread)


your a liar and a cheat. if you can write a link to the above where i wrote this i will leave the forum right now. but you can't, because your making it up. i would never threaten someones life over the internet. i did threaten to destroy your project and i did, but i only had to state the facts, and there is nothing wrong with that. it is an obvious fraud. i have said before all you have to do is verify your stock on cryptostocks and i will give you the benifit of the doubt, but you wont because then you will be accountable to your investors.

this shows exactly why i have issues with you. you trolled a thread non-stop and then setup a 'hedge fund' which is a clear fraud. i have called you out on it profusely and you have never once been able to come back with a reasonable response. now you attack my character instead of just answering simple accusations.

you've even started a new account to hide your previous behaviour.

I can see where darkstone2 is coming from with my choice of language, but you are the scum i make you out to be. i use that word carefully. i honestly hate people like you.

if i get banned then fine. its not like i dont travel the world doing this for a living. im leaving the UK in the next week or two and ill just create a new account with a new IP, And until then ill just use another network. i hope it doesn't come to that but if it does im not going to lose any sleep. i would be willing to make changes to how i speak to people on this forum but not you.

people like you are whats wrong with this forum, if it wasn't for you none of this would be happening. but you brought this on yourself by trying to destroy a legitimate project with FUD just so you could buy some cheaper shares. and then creating a project that is so obviously illegitimate its actually amusing.

It's more a limitation of SMF, not an arbitrary decision.

They are pretty decent at removing spam I guess.

Would be good to see some autonomy and decision making for themselves but always have to get approval or permission from theymos which hinders smooth, efficient moderation

Actually mods have a fair amount of autonomy on anything related to posts.  Though temp bans have to be run up the chain.

I asked mikemikemike stopping for trolling in our thread. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6172302

He just continued

I asked mods to make something against posts in our threads which are offensive. So mikemikemike called my p.e. 'little piece of shit' over and over again. He said, 'will destroy your project and kill you'. I asked mods for removing or stopping mikemikemike to write in our thread, no answer.

Not acting on:


'you little piece of shit' (not just once but all over again in almost every post)


'will destroy your project and kill you' (its still in the petamine thread)


and summary:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6299719

by not banning user is weird.


User is still offending us, just today, by offending other user to be bcmine.

BCMINE, its nice to see you have another account!



The thing about his serious posts is that he is lieying all around. Pointing on him about, that he is lieying, he is editing his previous posts and saying that you are lieying. So there is no way of talking with him seriously, even he is saying he is serious about something.

I asked him 4 times friendly to stop posting in my thread, in a friendly way, over 4 days. He did not stopp. offensive language, barely arguments. he just want to knock you down.  offensive and personaly attacking all the time and saying i have to defense myself with argument. Such a discussion is not possible.


The only possibility we found was to go away from bitcointalk.org, because of public relations, which are more harming as helping us here. Anyway, decission was made. Fullstop about that.

That shouldn't be necessary for temporary bans which aren't even that long.

I see spam everywhere and a handfull of Mods can't tackle hundred or thousands of spam posts effectively. 

Absolutely they can!  One just needs to use the "Report to Moderator" link at the bottom right of each post when they see spam.

Non-coincidently, the number of reports you make is one metric Theymos uses to promote new moderators.  Smiley

Well the most classic point which comes off the top of my head is that while the mod team doesn't do too much - which is good, they aren't clawing up your leg every 5 minutes - they in some cases don't do enough. mprep is a good example of someone who does a good job, getting rid of ref spam, etc, but scams are allowed to run wild in other sections when there could be measures simply put in place which would reduce the amount of scams significantly. I guess it's more of an administrative issue than a moderation issue, but it's still there.

Moderation is...so-so. Bitcointalk has some very strong points with it's moderation policies but it also has some very weak points.
Care to bring some up?
I'm curious on what you have in mind exactly.
