Just experienced my first real censorship in crypto...

It was quite amusing indeed xD. Is he implying that his haters actually love his assets and want to go back and lick his boot? He cherrypicked the quotes and put them in a list. a lot more has been said in the comments about his asset's than these simple lines. Is he really just censoring information to appease his 'people' that everyone actually thinks his asset's are great? they're not, the people investing in it are great. really burstnation with adam on top is moving more and more towards some kind of totalitarian rule.

And after all the crap they gave me about downtime while they were DDOS'ing me, their site is down ........ Got to love Karma ......
-
@haitch well mate, get ready to be accused of any sort of S##t!
If this is a normal downtime so nothing will happen, but if this is one of their show, get ready of EXPOSED videos and every sort of BS
-
@ccminer oh yeah, I'm sure I'll be accused of attacking them, but I've not done anything - their downtime is an issue at their end.
-
@haitch Yes if in doubt blame haitch. Thought they had blocked my IP or something....
I suspect they are changing the standard typeface to be bold and random coloured.

@RichBC From the screenshots I've been sent, they seem to have a chatbox at the top of every page. How does that work ?
-
@haitch Yes it's always there at the top of every page as opposed to down the side where it used to be. Can be both informative and annoying. :-)

@RichBC Having that at the top of every page would drive me nuts. Which design guru decided to do that ?
-
I'll never be happy when either this site or BN is down because both play a big role in the Burst ecosystem. I'm actually surprised that Adam made this post. Why does he try to revive the conflict between the two forums even though it has started to fade out ? IMO it may be for 2 reasons :
- He stated multiple times that when he makes those "exposed" posts it gets a lot of attention and exposure, so he could think it's a good marketing tool
- His ego won't let the conflict die out until he completely destroys this site and his opponents (at least in his eyes)
Either way the discussion we had was a healthy one and as you said @RichBC credit was given where it's due !
-
@haitch I guess it is just a recognition of what is important to them. Provides a ready made in your face vehicle to
controlcommunicate with the troops.Rich

@RichBC I'm waiting for BN to implode. The asset consolidations, the BS, the ego's - the whole thing is going to implode - and it's going to be spectacular.

Thanks. I think he may have made a mistake with this one. I really don't see how you can take a set of honest positive statements from a set of Banned Members and use it in some way to either justify their Banning or rally the Troops?
There was not the usual "Thank you Mr Burst for saving us from these terrible people" response, but we will see when the site comes back up?

@haitch Just hope it will not crush BURST as well like his creature VIRALCOIN

@ccminer BN is not significant enough to hurt the coin when they crash and burn.

Perhaps it has already? Actually I don't want that to happen as I think a second Forum is good for Burst, just needs a few changes to be made.....

@RichBC I don't think it's blown up yet, but the authoritarian management there is stunning. If you're not worshipping adam, you'll be banned
It's a good thing that miners have a real free speech option at https://forums.burst-team.us

Thanks @RichBC for the screenshot since i was trying to read that post but it looks like BN is down...
My opinion is that it's quite amusing:
- That he calls himself the "Legendary Adam G" (only a narcisist would do this);
- That he selected just the parts of the comments that are good for promotion of his asset(s) (and he shot himself on the foot by saying that he screenshotted the posts but he don't post them, it's only so he can select what parts to put in there... LOL This only shows the kind of censorship he supports) ;
- And that they ban someone for asking a question and give a suggestion (like @IncludeBeer did), don't get me wrong, i didn't saw his comment so i can't really judge if it was just a suggestion or if it can be interpretaded as a promotion but at the bare maximum it should just deserve a delete on the post and not result in a ban or in a "violation warning"...
I will say again what i already said sometimes before:
When someone put himself in a position of being a community leader of some kind like Adam or Crowetic did, they are putting himselfs at the position of accepting public scrutiny and people can express their opinions against their actions without being slander, actually this has a name and it's called "Protected Speech"...The difference between slander (or defamation of character) and Protected Speech are only if the comment(s) have obvious accusations with malicious intent and this only applys to when someone puts himself at the position of being a leader because like i said as leaders they are putting themselfs at public scrutiny as can be readed in http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/civil-litigation/defamation-character-free-speech.html (you can compare this to when someone says that a politian accepts brides, and he just can't sue you by defamation of character and slander because he putted himself in the position of public scrutiny)...
Actually ban someone from a place and descredit them is considered censorship and defamation of character, what have been made with some persons already and that is something pretty serious punished by law when charges are made, besides the fact that it's something pretty ugly to do to someone... Ofc i am not talking about bans that are made just by ToS violation, but the ones in where people express a negative opinion about some project like some already did in some of Adam's projects and resulted in ban and discredit of that person...
BN admins, don't consider this as an attack of any kind since i only said my opinion in this post and nothing else...
I never talked shit about no one over there besides being express my opinions, and never tried to convert someone to my opinons, they are only mine and i can speak them in any place on the internet because the internet is a free speech space...
If you by chance don't agree with this you are just raising the BN censorship to a whole new level!
-
@RichBC Its his usual cheap promotion. You see casino is down and he needs to keep selling his gambling assets to more minions.
-
@haitch I don't worship Adam, actually he is the person i less respect in there and i wasn't banned so far but i never gave them reasons to ban me as far as i know...
When i see his attacks or his BS i just ignore because there is not really a thing i can do and if i post something against him i know it will be either deleted or I will be descredited so better to not say nothing, at least this is my opinion...
-
@gpedro I didn't call out you, or any other member. I was just stating how paranoid their policy is.
Almost any discussion is open here, but trigger subjects over there will get your post deleted and account banned. Look on the thread about who has been banned from BN. Would you ban any of them from here ?
If you think a post of mine or any other user is offensive, contact me directly/
