Bitcointalk mods are deleting any thread that has a Steemit link... We need to come together as a community.
As some of you may know... Steemit is currently under attack by at least one Bitcointalk mod. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1566129.msg15717789#msg15717789
They are currently deleting any and all post that contain a Steemit link. We need to act swiftly on this if we want to prevent further attacks.
Here is what you need to do:
Write and tell Mprep to please consider only deleting spam and not removing "good links"!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=51173
Write Theymos and ask him to hold Mprep responsible for blindly deleting posts such as: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1566129.msg15863107#msg15863107
Write SaltySpitoon and ask him to please give up his Global Mod position and come back to the altcoin forums!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=38894 (it won't happen, but he's a funny guy to PM anyways!)
Now is a time we need to come together as a community and demands that we don't be thrown in the trash can blindly!
Or they join you under a different name and pretend they were on board the whole time.
Censorship about a Censorship-resistant Socialmedia ....kind of funny.
Forum-mods the new mini Diktators of Web?
True... but they did say that about Paycoin as well lol
No
If you SPAMIT then it will get deleted.
this shit is going to stop or steemit is rekt
This is beneficial to all communities steemit..!!!
great post @bayareacoins
@bayareacoins, interesting posts and the info is good for us all ..
The bitcointalk forum seems stone age compared to Steemit. Why waste any energy on it?
None of these were what I would consider 'spam' links.
@bayareacoins freedom of speech can't be moderated.
@smooth...
I'm much more worried when a moderator does NOT delete your "spammy" stuff, and just fake it's out there in the wild.
Fake your statts as well. That platform is called FACEBOOK. I did a write up about it. You know where you can find it, I won't post the link here, as that would be very "spammy"... take care guys.
@johnster Actually, that would be relevant. Please post it. I'm interested, but more importantly you took time to explain it's relevance and to my mind that is the difference between "spammy" and "informative".
@smooth I don't agree with mprep censoring you. But the bottom link was spammy to my mind if that's all their was.
It would have been better to have a more detailed explanation of why people should care. Some more info about the girl and maybe some musings about what you thought of her posting in general.
Hope this message is coming through clear. It's 3:30 AM and my coffee pot is broken.
Maybe it's too just too obvious to me that people might care about the first 1+ million follower celebrity, so I didn't explain it in the post.
I've been told by bitcointalk admins that they view the entire 'Alternative Cryptocurrencies' section as supporting a gambling game where people bet on coins by trading them. If a coin backing a social media site gaining high profile users with enormous reach is not relevant to such a game then I don't know what is.
My bitcointalk post was not about the girl, and if it were that would be off topic there. It was about the coin.
I left that place in 2013 and haven't looked back, I've felt much better since then.
But I think you're right. It was too obvious to you, and I guess that mprep didn't see the value in it. I wouldn't have censored you, but I would of popped in asking to explain, basically what you just explained here. Unfortunately, the obvious, rarely is.
You were the first one to say on bitcointalk that steemit was a scam and you know it is but some bucks are to be made before the global collapse.
Whether steemit is a scam or not is irrelevant. Bitcointalk admis have told me that they don't moderate scams. That is for the marketplace of ideas to sort out.
@najoh Very curious to know about this steemit scam stuff. I'd like to make up my own mind, but the opinions and research of others is always helpful.
Hello @smooth, I don't understand much about the issue in this conversation but I felt its importance. What is it anyway?
The playmate articles seem like spam. I do t know what the discussion was on but ...
One of the many reasons this is happening is bitcoin mods are paid according to their mod activity. So, more spam removal means more payment. Hence, they dont care what is spam and what is not. They touch as much as they can to increase their payment.
At the end of the day, I think sharing content shouldn't be considered spam. Particularly when the kind of content on this site on average is higher quality than a random post on bct.
It's all about control. Any new coin that succeeds takes some power away from him. This is true of other bitcoin forums as well.
It's super frustrating... I had post that were no where near spam related deleted.
I'm sure that they will stop soon. Mprep is just quick on the trigger.
lol just go post that over there with -" -Love, the Steemit Community" at the end.
@kingofchaos Thank you for this! I have needed this form for quite some time
Woohoo! New bookmark!
Come on guys! Upvote the shit out of this! I printed this in stacks and put it on my desk. This meme needs to be everywhere people are complaining on this forum!
This is too funny to pass on. aHAHHAHahhah
Thanks man!
nice one man !! ; - ) one for all the safe space people out there !! ; - )
Their rules we must respect their decision.
Bitcointalk is dying - without the signature campaigns no-one would bother posting there at all.
As for censorship - Theymos has a habit of attacking any coin he sees as a threat to bitcoin core - he did the same to Ether. So wear the censorship aqs a badge of honour - it's a sign Steem is on it's way to adoption!
I used to have a lot of respect for bitcointalk, but threads like this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1558366.0
look like institutional trolling to me. A pyramid scheme which you can join for free is a very strange one, isn't it? :-)
Is it possible that he considered what smooth said as a suggestion for moderation that most people would approve? I mean before "fucking him off", maybe we should consider this?
Ya I just edited that. I just don't like mpreps and have had these issues in the past.
It would be best to ask him not to blindly delete stuff in the Steem thread.
Catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
The robot wars are already here and I'm not even ready yet
I am just waiting for Facebook to start censoring.
@keithsmith They already do, but when facebook does it literally no one knows...

Same with google. If google doesn't know about you, you don't exist.
