Any further discussion that is not addressing the thread topic will be deleted.

Okay, so that's why it's self-moderated here? Cheesy

Self-moderation is fine to prevent rule-breaking posts, to improve posting quality by deleting pyramid quotes or spelling mistakes and ask people to post it again without pyramid quotes, spelling mistakes etc. or to delete one- or two-liner shitposts or off-topic troll spam. That's where self-moderation is fine. But not to stifle valid arguments... Roll Eyes

I have decided to leave 1mau's post here as it serves as a good example of someone who directly disrespected the rules of the topic.

Okay, so because my reply is valid and is adding the necessary context regarding your strange poll, it "disrespected the rules of the topic". Roll Eyes

LOL

This thread is self moderated as it is for opinions on this topic only and I'd like to keep it that way. I don't want to censor people though, so I posts that are not providing an opinion or providing relevant value to the conversation will be removed and quoted in the second post.

I don't see how I'm violating your simple rules. Cheesy

This thread is helping the community clear blur lines. Disrespecting that, as 1mau has, is disrespecting not just me, but the natural process that makes this community better.

My reply is helping the community to get some context regarding your strange poll and therefore not violating any rule here.

And my name is 1miau. Wink

What is wrong with you, honestly? Why are you bringing that conversation here when it has been said already that those posts would be deleted?

Just post your opinion like everyone else and continue your opinions about me in the other thread, where they belong.

Wow, no context allowed here? Cheesy

Why so, maybe some people will read up on the issue and you don't like it, that people are getting the full picture here?

The purpose of this thread is to clarify two opinions. Right now, yours is outvoted. So you can post that image all you want, it means nothing, as you're painting a picture that is, according to the current vote, invalid.

Your misleading, out-of-context poll proves exactly nothing about our discussion. Cheesy

I have coins.game in my signature as they're legit (according to my due diligence). I don't have to be a gambler to be a part of that campaign, or any gambling campaign.

But according to your post, gambling is:

No one should be a merit source for one of the most unethical boards/sections of this forum. There is no shortage of merit for the amount of quality/merit worthy posts in the gambling section; which is very little in comparison to other, more important and non capitalistic boards of the forum.

I also think merits should not be focused on posts in this section. It does not positively contribute to the Bitcoin economy. It only concentrates wealth to unethical network participants who are exploring other users with unfair odds, ridiculous terms of service, extensive and intrusive kyc checks to ban accounts, questionable provably fair claims, and more.

Is your way of discrediting this thread bringing that discussion here?

Sorry for bringing some context regarding your topic. Cheesy

I should delete your post, since you've completely disrespected the rules of the thread. So disappointing.

The only post violating a rule here is your post:

1. Such posts as "SELL SELL SELL", "I agree", "+1", "Support", "Watching", "Interesting", "LOL", "SCAM", "LEGIT", "FAKE", other one word posts, posts consisting mostly of swearing, quote pyramids, useless introduction threads, threads about a topic already recently discussed in several other threads.

And no valid post from me will get deleted here or I'll give you a neutral trust about your gambling "incident" right on your profile that signature campaign managers will see that right away. Wink
