This isn't about more mods, but forum policy. Without changing that Staff can't go around making up their own rules and they need to follow the ones in place and theymos generally wants as much freedom as possible, and whilst that is generally good, it also obviously comes with downsides and people are often willing to abuse that freedom. Some users do get away with far too much here but Staff generally don't get involved unless it breaks forum policy, so if you have evidence of harassment and extortion then you should report those messages to Global mods and/or open up a thread in Reputation or Scam Accusations, but there's only so much Staff can do about that. Even if certain users are banned they will likely just create a new account and start harassing you again so banning isn't always effective. I have suggested new enhanced features where users/businesses can moderate their own threads how they like and can even permanently ban or block certain users or user groups from even posting in that thread, but in the meantime you can self-mod a thread and make your own local rules prohibiting certain users from posting there. If they break those local rules then users can be banned.

I have no idea about alleged extortion from any user towards another though I read an accusation from Dean Nolan towards game-protect. Likewise game-protect has made various allegations against Dean Nolan and betking.

As far posting in self-moderated threads is concerned sure I did post there and Dean Nolan deleted my posts so I stopped posting there. I have no intention of posting in any self-moderated thread no matter who starts them if my posts will get deleted. I on the other hand believe self-moderated threads defeat the purpose as they censor but even with Dean Nolan and betking having a self-moderated it is quite clear there is no rush for users to join-in because Bitsler, Stake and Primedice seems to be where the users are rushing to, but that is another matter.

I have done nothing that deserves a ban. If anything, in my opinion any person that conducts an ICO and then fails to live up to what was proposed in the whitepaper should be banned but we are all entitled to our opinions. In one instance a couple of months back Dean Nolan claimed users game-protect, chazley and myself were the same person before backing down and accepting he lied.

Dean Nolan came to this community cap-in-hand begging for funds during the ICO for betking but it was all based on misdirection, misinformation and some outright lies. He has refused to answer the questions openly in the forum that will either prove his innocence or guilt. They will prove his guilt from his own keyboard that is why Dean Nolan has gone on the defensive trying to get me banned.

@ Dean Nolan & Betking
I no longer want you to answer any questions about the betking scam because you made it clear you will not answer them,I waited long enough giving you ample time.

Having said that, Dean Nolan you chose to ignore the last question I asked in the previous post. This is the final time I will ask, if you do not reply I will open a thread to invite users to send anything which might be deemed as evidence in a Court of Law. Answer the question please so I can start contacting the appropriate legal authorities, after all you claim you have nothing to hide so: Which country do you live in Dean Nolan? Is it N.America? EU? Is it Asia? If your country of residence has a robust legal system I will report you to the appropriate legal authorities.
