This service is meant to provide evidence when a PM-trade falls apart.
BackgroundOnce in a while a scam accusations requires evidence of a PM-history. Since screenshots can easily be altered, it's not easy to prove what was said without either involving a Global Mod, or by giving someone access to your account to check your PMs.
Yesterday, I got the idea to create a bot for this.
How it worksWhen sending a PM, CC
LoyceVs PM publisher.
Don't send anything you want to keep private (such as your address!), the bot will publish everything you send. If a deal falls apart, the evidence is readily available to post on the
Scam Accusations board.
DelayBy default, I publish PMs after 7 days. The sender can change this by adding "delay=<days>" anywhere in the body of the message. This also works if the command is quoted. If it's shown more than once, I use the first occurrence.
Example:
delay=30
The delay can be anything from 0 to 999 days.
Data URLI publish the data on loyce.club/PM_publisher/.UpdatesFor now, this bot updates every 2 hours.
DisclaimerI will publish any PM I receive on
LoyceVs PM publisher!
Even when I delay publishing, I have access to the messages. My webhost can read them too, and of course Bitcointalk Admins can read any messages on the forum. Don't send any personal data.
I'm not sure which board fits best. For now, I'll post this in Meta.
When replying to a PM, obviously I can only archive it if
LoyceVs PM publisher also receives the message.
WarningI can't know who received a BCC.
I can't verify quotes inside a PM. All I know for sure is who sent it.
MiscellaneousI use forum time for this project
(in most of my other projects I used Amsterdam time).
BugsLet me know if anything fails. Let's say this is experimental.
Test it!Feel free to send a
PM (with or without CC to someone). I need some data to test this
