This is an excellent general point which deserves far more merit than I can afford to send it now:
If I were admin I would
"If I were admin"?
I think that you are using that hypothetical just attempting to describe your idea of some kind of a gold standards rather than really suggesting that you would actually go through all the hard work of actually serving as an admin over years and years to build a forum, such as this one.. and maybe tweaking the various systems of the forum along the way.
I have oftentimes been critical of theymos. Whereas I recognize the amount of work required actually to build and run a forum of this scale. theymos has done it; I have not; and that is why I am currently playing in his sandbox. That is not exactly
his fault.
The trolling pretty much reeks of “I am so superior to my boss, I could run the company so much better; if I were the boss...” LOL, OK. Have fun with that. “If I were admin” in a nice masturbational fantasy; but the reality is hard.
I have always recognized this. Never before have I made free contributions of my own writing to any “user-generated content” site. If I were to prefer otherwise, I guess that would be my problem.
Since my life is too valuable to waste [...] meanwhile, I think about perhaps some long-term way to make the forum trust system obsolete. “Cypherpunks write code.”
In context, this is clearly a joke—of the “ha, ha, only serious!” type:Announcement: I will now found my own forum—just so that I can invite this user over, and

That is an excellent point. From here, the discussion inevitably devolves into big talk about some plan to redesign the Web to have
at least the decentralization that Usenet had 40 years ago. To avoid that discussion, all I’ll say is that “cypherpunks write code”. :-)
What if Satoshi had sat around on a financial forum saying, “If I were to make my own currency...”?
Want to refute any of that? Get specific and we'll see how you get on.
No sane person grants the dignity of a serious reply to patent smear-attacks by self-evident scum who has no credibility to begin with.
(Now, if
ibminer were to step up and properly take credit for what is essentially his own deranged handiwork here, then
I would have something to say about that. But it is off-topic on this thread.
Whereas I have not forgotten the relevant thread—just been busy.)
Besides what real fan of bitcoin does not have 1.2bitcoin?
Where do you get off making up figures? As an advocate of financial privacy, I have never publicly disclosed exactly, or even approximately what I have. Nor will I. It is
nobody’s business. All that I have said, repeatedly, is that I basically put
all of my liquid wealth into Bitcoin; thus however much it is, it is a lot to me!
Limit post to 300 words.
LOL.
The goal is to create new open source forum software that will directly compete with software like SMF and phpBB. Unlike Discourse, the software will be featureful and information-dense. Unlike Reddit, the software will support and encourage lengthy, high-quality posts (while allowing shorter posts).
pushing double standards and fake concern for the forum [...]
Free speech is getting crushed here [...]
Ban lauda, nutildah, tman, first
nullius [...] Limit post to 300 words. 1 post day max. [...]
Delete his slobbering.
Just an FYI, appeals or counter-appeals that get washed in several pages of arguments are usually not acted on by the staff.
So, what you are saying is that trolls can control the outcome by spewing garbage in a thread? I should hope that the administration is not so trivially manipulable!
Setting aside trolls on the one hand and petty personal snipes on the other, the only
substantive counter-argument has been set forth by PrimeNumber7. I replied accordingly. All other
substantive posts on this thread have been either supportive, or more or less neutral toward my proposition.
Or do you really think that the outcome can be determined by a troll indulging his lurid slash-porn fantasies about me and Lauda?
Rule 34
Cheer up, kitty! On the Internet, you know that you have succeeded when Rule 34 is invoked on you. Evidently, in this case, we are now the subjects of some sort of BDSM slash fanfic—with the bizarre twist that I’m supposed to punish people to get your attention.
sexyscammer babe lauda
You can clearly see nullius has a new crush on lauda after his last scammer teenie babe alia blew him off. [...]
This is clear. He [nullius] only wants to punish hacker to try to get lauda into some cyber sex routine. Don't believe me? Have a look
Wow. Lauda truly inspires obsession. Done fappening yet?
Untouchable, unobtainable ice queen
says MEOW! in blood-red:
perverting the trust system and in default trust positions
...I guess not. By “positions”, do you mean, “Lauda on top”? Or inclusions of Lauda—oh, that now feels like a double entendre!
how he feels about lauda in a sexual way, and his red tags
Great. The trust system itself is now officially Rule 34 material.
This guy nullius is creepy.
I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say that you are projecting.
Now, to be helpful, I advise that you fuck off to theymos’ other sandbox at /r/GirlsGoneBitcoin (NSFW, 18+). Pathetic sad sack that you are, I don’t doubt that you can pay one of those girls to indulge your very apparent fantasies about being dominated by a powerful female. Because you are too disgusting to touch, I suggest that you see if any of them does FinDom (financial domination fetish; does not involve sex). Pay up, piggy.
