Double standard much......
-
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.
-
@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.
-
@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
-
This post is deleted!
-
@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.
-
@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....
-
@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)
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@haitch Whether it hurts burst as a whole or not, what about the people deeply involved in this.
-
@stupendelious There are a lot of people who are happily co-existing on both sites, the disagreements are between a small subset of the community.
-
@haitch I really don't understand the disagreements fully enough to give my opinions but this really pisses me off

The "Official" hub. Fuck off calling yourself the "official" runners of burstcoin. The only person that has the right to say that is the guy that created burstcoin.
-
IMHO @haitch I think this whole thread should be removed, and you should make a single locked thread stating something along the lines of "trash talking / disrespecting / negativity towards other forums on this forum will not be tolerated" and have that be the end of it over here.
