Read rule #25 and then you can see why I assume that account was banned (No I did not ban it).

Dude if you read and follow the rules you can say almost ANYFUCKINGTHING here on this forum. I have yet to see a user following the rules receive a ban for just a controversial opinion.

Although the forum is absolutely centralized you will find very few medium that allows you as much freedom as here. Just don't break the very few, very simple rules and you will be 100% fine!

Shelby (aka @AnonyMint) claimed the opposite up-thread.
He claims his @TPTB_need_war was banned originally in 2016 (none his accounts prior to that were banned) because he wrote critically about Monero and Ethereum and because he was insulting (those who were also insulting Shelby) influential anonymous members such as @gmaxwell¹, @Foxpup, @stereotype, @Lauda, @iCEBREAKER, etc..
Shelby claims that the original multi-posting allegation (which he entirely stopped doing a long-time ago) is something everyone does (look here is a link to (archived here) @aliashraf doing it yesterday) and was a fabricated reason to silence him because he is the one who speaks with the most critical technological rigor on the entire forum.

While I haven't been closely following Anonymint's newest alt's posts after my last response to him, looking at his post history, he, as Flying Hellfish said, probably got banned for starting to get into discussions that weren't about his ban (as per the explanation of rule 25 in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0; suggestions for skipping junk posts, opinion on LN, talking about his decentralized forum in unrelated threads). If I'm not mistaken, that's what got his the_end_is_near account banned as well.

25. Ban evasion (using or creating accounts while one of your accounts is banned) is not allowed.[e]

He was not evading his ban. The LN reply (archived here) was a reply to discussions that others made in the Meta threads about his ban!

He was discussing the topic you and he were discussing in this thread about the entirely arbitrary concept of moderation that @theymos alleges he violated.
You guys are just inventing arbitrary fucking technicalities to justify your insane totalitarianism because Core cant withstand his powerful logic.

I told Shelby he should lessen the toxicity of the following message he sent me and he replied no they will never stop the toxicity and idiocy, the only solution is decentralized moderation, please post my truth:

So many idiots in the following linked thread, even after I explained in that thread why their one-size-fits-all rating proposal will not work:

Lol, I continue to receive Merit in that thread even when I am banned.
