By who's authority?

Any more info on how this dispute was resolved? Given the level of interest I think a little more explanation would be warranted. A bald one-line, corpro-speak, statement like that just serves to sow resentment.

This is a sad turn of events. I can't see why anyone who wants to interfere with peoples business are interested in an anonymous currency.

What's next on the chopping block? Gambling sites? VPN? Socks? ..

I still haven't gotten an answer to this question: is it legal to share the information? If so, what is the wiki for if not to share legal information? Assuming the information is legal to share, I think the wiki should be as neutral as possible. Filtering out information because it might interfere with some agenda seems like anything but. Of course, if sharing the information is illegal then definitely no.

Again, assuming it's legal to share the information, we should probably start a new wiki that isn't controlled by a single personal agenda and simply make available all the information that is within the legal limits.

I've started a "meta" discussion on banning X at Y.

1. I'm not saying it doesn't
2. If it comes to ultimatum between PR and freedom of information I choose freedom of information, as majority of this community judging by the poll results.

I hope I am wrong, but I think this will damage our economy and image in the long run.

How can we advocate anonymity and freedom if these are the exact things we are banning??? This is disgraceful!!!

Well it is totally in the owners right to do this, but I hope he chances the wiki name to "The Bitcoin Neconservative Wiki" and someone else puts up a "Bitcoin Libertarian Wiki". Also, I hope someone removes all links to Bitcoin exchangers who do not require ID verification, because this is certainly illegal under US law.

Also, good luck with the strategy of trying to convert Neoconservatives to Bitcoin. I am sure that they will jump at the opportunity to buy some strange services with some weird currency that might be illegal to use in the USA in the first place. Much better idea to ban all of the drug users and dealers who were going to cause your economy to actually be used for something useful. Hopefully you convert McDonalds to Bitcoin please keep me updated on how that goes.

If the server is in USA it is not legal to link to websites that sell illegal drugs, and the owner could technically be charged with the same drug crimes as the vendors he links to under the Ryan Haight act passed a few years ago. If this is the case, I sympathize with admins choice. If the server is in Japan, there is no such law and not allowing links only shows his lack of a backbone. I suggest that someone buys a server in Russia or some other place like that and puts up a Wiki that respects everyones freedom. I am done using the Fascist Wiki, although I do respect it is admins right to do whatever he wants with it.

MagicalTux also runs KalyHost, which is used by many Bitcoin sites. I'm not worried that he'll abuse his power, but maybe KalyHost will be forced offline.

Congratulations, you've managed to scare the guy before he receives any serious, concrete threat. Nice job spreading fear.

Which law? Of which country?
