Moved to Meta. The fact that you can't post a thread in the appropriate board should signal about that you should read up on the rules before you complain.
There are rules. In fact, you broke one that was instated by BadBear, not me and which I managed to soften after a discussion with him so how about you complain to him.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=718124.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=718124.msg9184818#msg9184818I've deleted the futher discussion due to the fact that it was connected to the ref spam you posted and thus was off-topic if the original post was removed.
Also, here's the small list of rules you broke from my thread that was stickied by SaltySpitoon in the Meta section:
2. No off-topic posts.
4. No referral code (ref link) spam. [1]
24. Advertisements in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful.[9][e]
I'd suggest reading through them all to make sure you know what is allowed and what isn't:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0I am voting yes, simply because any asshole who figures he can remove posts that aren't spam is a dickhead.
I'd suggest getting acquinted with thw rulea before you call out spam.
Copy of this thread has been sent to Theymos (even though he has better shit to do I'm sure, but this shit is important!)
A lot of people disagree with the mprep moderation, maybe theymos should remove his "right" here on bitcointalk.org and choose another moderator.
He evaluates every mod's performance monthly. So far I've received no complaints from him.

I seriously think and hope Theymos makes that call...
We have a fan boy who doesn't know what spam is running around with a ban hammer tormenting self modded communities... Fuck this guy frankly.
It isn't very Crypto of him regardless.
I can only ban newbies. I request BadBear for bans just like other board moderators, however, so far, most of the requested have been issued. "Tormenting seld modded communities"? You mean stopping you from spamming and thus preventing you from making a quick buck?
I vote yes. This guy is an asshole and should not be moderating anything.
Such a compelling argument with so many valid reasons.

He's the cop who shoots the unarmed black kid.
Shoot and threaten first... ask question later.
I hope my OP shows how we were having a conversation and this dude come in then kills it.
I could understand if modding is wearing on him... happens to me in Just-dice all the time, but at that point he needs to walk away from the computer or Theymos & friends needs to find him a replacement.
I miss Salty

!
Here's a better example: I get a report that there is someome shitting on theymos' carpet at his home. As his janitor, I go to the location, see that it's true, kick him out and then he complains that he was kicked out for decorating the carpet and that it is a free country.
Oh, and it is wearing on me: because of self-entitled people like you, who believe that they know the rules in and oiut when they can't even pick a correct board for posting a complaint.
If the whole thing is based on freedom of speech then the community deserves to at least know and be informed. It's a positive thing CLAM is being picked up even if in negative ways.
Sorry if you don't feel that way, but it is as simple as that.
I think it's a positive sign that CLAM is valued highly enough that thieves want to steal it. We see the Serbian scammer on IRC trying to scam people out of their CLAMs and now this Ponzi scheme is trying to steal it too.
I think if I was you I would have mentioned it in that light: "good news for CLAM : even lowlife scammers want a piece of the action!" or something.
What I wouldn't have done is signed up and posted a fucking referral link to the scam!
Perhaps wise dooglus.

BUT! I still don't think it was right to remove my side of a real conversation out of a self modded thread.

Without the context, it would've been off-tooic and confusing.
nah the job ain't easy, I hope he is paid well because the lvl of toxic bullshit this forum forces you to read occasionally.
Over $1000 a week I think isn't it? (bit of a guess)
1K a week, serious?
Divide that by 8 and you are closer to what I get for spending around 2 hours daily, 7 days a week. Nevertheless, I'm thankful for anything I get as there are moderators in other forums whose only reward for their hard work is a big "fuck you".
Perhaps wise dooglus.

Not that it makes any difference, but he deleted one of my posts from the conversation too, even though I didn't include your referer link:

You must've missed the PM I sent you. As the original post was removed, the discussion itself became disconnected and thus off-topic.
