Whats more, people susceptible to this non-argument conveniently forget that this money is drawn from the zero-sum game of pump-and-dump scamming. All that ICO spam payola money comes from somewhere: Bilked investors, many of whom are too naïve to really be blamed for taking the bait. Maybe your grandmother. Maybe some uneducated, honest working-class individual who is just trying get a little bump up on his hard-earned wages; he sees a glitzy spam ad filled with techno-babble he cannot possibly hope to understandthen winds up having food stolen out of the mouth of his children, when pump is inevitably followed by dump.

Why do the bleeding hearts never remember this? Ah, yes: Because they are not motivated by helping people, but only by a perverse desire to fawn with dripping empathy over trash.

You've nailed it. The money has to come from somewhere. I would even go as far as calling people who shitpost for pennies outright thieves. They don't fulfill their end of the 'contract' properly, and yet receive full payment.

Of course. saulzaents refers to the lunatic who gave you +50 for red-tagging him, and gave me +50 for insulting him. Either an insane masochist, or someone with a very guilty conscienceor a persecuted genius, whose actions are predicated on cosmic designs beyond the comprehension of mere mortals! /s

Just a classic example of preemptive defense. We've seen *you-know-who* use it in a different sense.

Ill chime in afterwards: Without yeomans service done by you and a few others, the merit system would be totally corrupted overnight. Since theymos said that signature campaigns will be banned if the merit system fails, that means we would lose many good posters who essentially get paid to spend all day helping people and answering technical questions on an Internet forum. Many other good posters dont have a paid signaturebut those would also leave, because the spam problem would not be solved. (Signature spamming is not the only type of spamming!)

If the merit system fails, the forum will implode.

Sothank you.

Trying my best / you are welcome.

I am Turkish and I don't give a shit about nationality when it comes to "justice" and enforcing "rules / principles", otherwise you will have a system which friends protect each other and "others" are always justified unfairly.

Exactly. Who cares where you come from? Nobody reasonable. Those that sling racism or whatever bullshit at me are just butthurt they got caught.

I have sent another message to Turkish moderator "EFS" and did get reply "I can't do anything" but at the same time noticed that he removes all improper posts except pitipawn's posts. I have strong belief he is friend of EFS and have been enjoying double standards in the Turkish forum, despite his bad attitude, foul mouth and ego-centric threads.

You did PM some people (e.g. maxwell and mitchell) who's "jurisdiction" isn't that section (especially the former who is very busy and shouldn't moderate anyways). We shouldn't confuse EFS's statement of "I can't do anything" with "I do not want to do anything". I don't want to speculate on his involvement there (unless someone has evidence), even though it is very likely. What he actually meant to say is: "He can do a lot, but chooses to do nothing".

I expect I will get a lot of -trust from his group soon by telling these but I don't give a shit about e-honor so here you go, it matters more to me that forum stays clean.

That is fine. They will expose themselves and I'll tag those accounts too.

Did someone kill the thread? I only see this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2916514.msg30007854#msg30007854.
