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.

@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.

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.

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.

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!

Steem will get a crazy wave of new users who just hear about the plattform and try to make money out of it without any real contribution to the site. It happened with any coin/plattform but it will eventually get better. What does kill you will make you stronger ;)

Well course, Bitcointalk makes their money from ad revenues. If STEEMIT takes over, they will lose a lot of people that are already fed up with their censorship, and lose revenue, not to mention a oligopolistic control over bitcoin development.

Well most of the forum mods over there heavily invested in bitcoin along with a nice % of bitcointalk users. I don't think the bitcointalk forum is the right place to wave around with a steemit link in public. I myself posted a steamit link to one of my posts but I was smart enough to shorten the url and also hyperlink it. I had no problems at all.

I think once some more interface updates get completed, Bitcointalk could take a sever beating form Steemit and they know it. It is extremely foolish on their part to try to censor good content. It will backfire on them. No doubt.

@bayareacoins you know why they do that?
First they find it as a threat to the peace of the forum, because it's way different than the normal usual coin, where you can gamble and stuff, here we talk of the real success, not only for the exponential increase of registered users, but for the fact they want to obstacle the people from joining this revolution.

As a veteran of social media marketing I would say this goes with the territory. People who own these boards control them with an iron fist. That is why Steemit and hopefully Synereo will do very well. Don´t worry about the old guard they will be pushed aside as a new open-minded community takes root.

I don't think there is need to write to mods. If they don't want to discussion about Steem, fine. It's a loss for Bitcointalk users and will make the forum even more low quality.
Best response to this is to make Steem so good that they have to openly admit that they were wrong.
