  • My post there, I'm posting here..

    I don't know any of the back story of the original members being discussed and there is obviously a lot to know from other forums, threads, private conversations, friendships etc., I got into Burst a little bit back and so far, the last few weeks - I feel it's been nothing but a competition of who's dick is bigger. I don't know what or who is right. Frankly, I don't care. From reading both of the forums, it appears that both sides did and then again did not do, some really suspect shit. I "want to believe" that everyone had good intentions, but, I'm smart enough to realize that's not true. It's life. The assets being scammed, can absolutely happen. Easily. The forums being altered and PMs being read and not really private, can happen. Easily. The convos behind closed doors can be with good intentions or bad. I mean fuck, for all we know, this forum and all the "recent" PR pushes etc,. was created soley to pump up for alot of the heavy holders so they could just dump the bag - I doubt it, but every one will tell you, includint Adam above, it's crypto. It is what it is.. I guess my point is, I feel like the finger pointing or "We're the official one" "My dick is bigger and longer" "I'm a mod so therefore god" shit is ridiculous. Alot of these conversations should be had privately and not in the open where you detract from what you are trying to accomplish. A typical outsider whale, new person getting into crypto or even an average Joe isn't going to come in, see this bullshit and go - "I LOVE the drama, let me invest in the Jersey Shore of cryptocurrency! Go Snookie!!" At the end of the day, you want Burst to succeed, or you don't. If you don't then be open about it. If you do, cool, your dick is bigger then mine - Let's just get this money...



  • @haitch what did @teammpp say?


  • admin

    @stupendelious Just stirring shit. As I said in the chat box:

    "Had enough of the double standards. Their mods come over and cause crap while asking me to play nice and ask you guys to play nice. And then Adam launches his personal slam on me, and they ban me when I politely replied. Any of their Mods/Users coming over here and causing crap will have their posts deleted and accounts banned. If they want to be civil fine, but I'm done with being nice to them while they give me this crap."

    And as Adam himself said:

    "The rules of BURST NATION forums.burst-team.us are very simple. There is no war, only respect and positivity. We do not run a free for all shit circus here and the matter is not up for discussion here since, in itself it reeks of negativity. A war means that two or more entities are at each other, we do not welcome any negative actions or disrespectful behavior here and anyone who comes here with that intention is banned on the spot. No further explanation or discussion or redemption needed."

    So I'm basically applying their rules to their members.



  • My post was disabled, even when another mod had replied and I get a note from Focus saying he disabled my comment and it needed to cool down.. very double standard ish.

    I'm just done with forums now, this is getting literally ridiculous.


  • admin

    @CryptoBuc You're always welcome here. Despite their claims, this is not a dystopian totalitarian site. The current situation is ridiculous, but it's not originating from here.



  • Everything I posted got disabled under the premise of "alot of new people here and we don't want to scare them of or have it be a war", which, cool - I agree. But why the thread in the first place then. Why complain about censorship and in the same thread, censor people. At this point, it's literally comical.


  • admin

    @CryptoBuc I got banned for violating non-posted rules, and my "negativity" in politely replying to a thread started by the site owner which threw shit at me. Their hypocrisy and double standards are jaw dropping


  • Banned

    This post is deleted!

  • admin

    @burstman1 Yeah, applying his standards to his users who come over here. The locals here get a different set of rules - just like it goes over on your site.



  • I think those rules are put in place not to confuse new users which is a big part of nation's user base and target user base.


  • admin

    @kmaxkmax Can you post a link to those rules? Or are they whatever their mods think appropriate at the time ?



  • Maybe I've missed so much by being so new, but even a couple weeks ago I don't think I've ever felt this place was under any sort of rule.

    I know one this is for sure though... there is no reason there needs to be any kind of "turf war" and I think it lays in the hands of the admins from both sides to sit down and have a discussion about it... Sure we can't control everyone's actions, but it seems like a ton of the issues are coming from people who were mod/admin here before going over there to sit in the same seat on that forum.

    Whatever's in the past needs to fking stay there and we need to look forward... this "decentralized" movement is starting to look a lot like politics in Washington....


  • admin

    @DougLife You're right, the rules here are very loose, you've got to try hard to get a post deleted, or to get banned.

    That said, I've done more of that in the last couple of days than the 18 months the forums have been running.

    The former mods had their own ideas about how forums should be run, didn't discuss with me, and went and set up their own alternative. Whatever. This place will continue to be what it's alway's been - the best place to get started with Burst, and a great place to hang out with like minded Bursters.



  • At this rate of diversion and disagreement between key community members, I fear for burst as a whole. I think what makes burst apart from other coins is the strong community. Without it, I think it would be worth way less. I could even see a fork in the blockchain if this amount of hostility continues, (one with qora combining with burst: crowetic's plan, and one with just how it is right now)


  • admin

    @stupendelious A disagreement between two sets of forums won't hurt the coin - in a week or two this will have blown over and be considered a storm in a tea cup. The values behind the coin are more important than what happens in these forums.



  • @haitch I fear that if this continues it won't just be a vocal fight on the forums.



  • I'm with @rapidfireman on this one. I imagine some not so nice blackhat stuff will be going on if this doesn't get resolved in some fashion...



  • @haitch In many coins I would agree, but as I said I feel like burst is all about the community. If this does blow over it will be fine, but having to separates forums with 2 groups of people who are hostile to each other, now that sounds like a civil war within burst.


  • admin

    @rapidfireman This will blow over, all on line turf wars do.

    The only change is that like in any trade war, we're now applying the other sides rules to them.

    This will blow over and in the end will not hurt Burst.
