Re: Sorry BitcoinFX, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages
Sorry bitcointalk.org, I strongly object to limitations being placed on ones free speech or in ones ability to freely start a dialogue with others.
No 'bulk' PM's were sent, only individual personal and private messages, including unique keys. Indefinite days
Bulk PMs aren't the only thing that's not allowed:No 'bulk' PM's were sent, only individual personal and private messages, including unique keys. Indefinite days
29. Sending unsolicited PMs, including but not limited to advertising and flood, is not allowed.
There are thousands of shitcoins, now imagine others would send PMs to users with "personal" codes and worthless giveaways too. The rules are there to prevent that.What? Is he mass PM'ing those free GapCoins? I thought I was special 
I knew I wasn't special when I checked the value of the free coins: $0.0notmuch. I was surprised though, to see a veteran user break forum rules like that.I think you got special treatment alreasy as an old user, because the PM was months ago. So maybe reports have been piling up, until a Mod thought it's enough.
The value of Gapcoin is not my concern, it's a Math alt. coin (based on BTC) which does useful PoW (searching for prime gaps of actual Merit) - I'm much more interested in it for that reason alone.
Bitcoin once had no value and some might say we are all only still here because of early adopters such as myself. *Shrugs*
Your points are taken on board though. Like I said, I haven't really needed to pay much attention to the new forum 'rules' before now.
Also, I don't remember being required to read them, after you wrote them ...
