It really does not matter which moderator issued the ban. Also disclosing which moderator issued a ban will only lead to moderator abuse/harassment of that moderator.

Exactly.

I think so too, I only asked for the name in order to ask the moderator what the ban was about. It was cleared already and a name is not needed at all.

You should look more closely next time. However, this happened a while back. It is best to wait out your punishment and avoid doing this in the future.

Hm, I searched for messages from you but all I found were two messages back from august. Did you write with an alt-account, was the message deleted or did the search function not work?

I wanted to check what you wrote because I did not realize that it as rule. Anyway, just generally, it would be good when anybody who warns mention that it is a rule at all. Maybe even the risk of being banned. I guess mexxer might warn more often. I only mean that generally it's not meant as critic.

P.S: Learning you are, making multiple posts in one, my young padawan

Yeah, I do of course. Cheesy

Even though I find these posts pretty ugly, they are not really a good read. I think I might mention usernames in bold. Maybe that would help other users to realize there is a post for them hidden.

On the other hand I already know getting criticized for too big posts. *sigh*

It's funny that someone should be paid for post here , especially users ( I'm talking in general).

It's a great way to advertise and name branding. Advertising here is probably the most effective way targetting the target audience. Bitcoin users are seldom more concentrated than here.

For getting a project kickstarted and branded it is a good thing for business owners.

The seond most important point is that there are not many places where you can get so good backlinks. Which will push the target domain up in the serps (search engine result pages).

... posts paying 0.5$ each.

It's ridiculous reading you write this. You hid the fact that the account you wanted to sell was banned from a couple of signature campaigns previously. For what? For gaining a couple more bucks. And the buyer, when you would have managed to not check these thing out, would have felt scammed. Surely you are no one to speak out on that matter.

Besides, you are nearly 50% off with your guess. Quality posters can get special contracts. Well, it's funny that you tried to sell an account you used for signature campaigns too.

And surely especially you would not be the one who would let lay around free bucks on the floor... Roll Eyes

But I would like have to clarify now how the rules are. What occassions is it allowed to post more than one post? I think there might be legitimate reasons but at the moment it looks too risky to try it out without clear rules being known. So what about:

The previous post is older, let's say a day, a week or maybe a hour only. You would want to write something in the thread to inform everyone about a status change of something. You can't post adding at the last post because you could be sure that no one will realize the last post changed. No update of the thread would be propagated and the info would be missed by a lot of people. It might even be needed to help others out, like I do in cannabit thread. It would be not possible to wait until another poster asks for updates.
You open a project thread, you reserve second and third post for status updates and you need to post maybe more often than other users. Still you need them to notice your text. It even might be a closed thread so that only you are the only person posting there.

I think it is extremely troubling to not have the rules fully exactly defined since it might not be possible to solve the above problems. No one would want to risk his account being banned or even permabanned.

So I ask mods and staff to clarify if there is a solution for these cases at all. Or if members would have to stop using the forum for things like that. I mean asking for if it is allowed before would surely not help either because it is often enough not easy to get an answer.
