Exactly. I thought the original post was old news until I double checked the date. Is it really that hard for people to use the agreed date standard?

Given that in the first two pages (just now) only TWO people followed the rules, I think it must be either extremely hard for people to read the post or they just don't care.  It is quite clear (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/post-format-yyyy-mm-dd-site-headline-246823):

POST FORMAT: YYYY-MM-DD SITE - HEADLINE

No brackets, just:
     YYYY-MM-DD SITE - HEADLINE


I guess it is too much trouble for people to read or care.

Date format of this thread is incorrect and confusing.

Its only incorrect to you, maybe its correct to me and the other way is confusing? The world does not revolve around one way Smiley

No the moderator set the date standard. It's incorrect and confusing.

The moderator has been ignoring it for more than a year.  Now less than 1% use the format that it is supposed to use adding in brackets all over the place.

It is pretty much anything goes in here now.  So you might as well just leave it as it is - people will notice the one that sticks out :-)

Yeah, good luck with that.  The format of only one of the posts on the first page follows the posting rules.   They are honored in the breach more than anything.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Venture capitalist Tim Draper won the U.S. Marshals bitcoin auction earlier this week that captured about $18 million for 30,000 bitcoin, according to an e-mailed statement sent to Reuters.

"With the help of Vaurum and this newly purchased bitcoin, we expect to be able to create new services that can provide liquidity and confidence to markets that have been hamstrung by weak currencies," Draper said in the statement.

The statement was issued by Vaurum, a Palo Alto-based company that facilitates over-the-counter bitcoin trading for financial institutions and high-net-worth traders, of which Draper is a major backer.

"Of course, no one is totally secure in holding their own country's currency. We want to enable people to hold and trade bitcoin to secure themselves against weakening currencies."

Vaurum chief executive officer Avish Bhama said Draper will partner with Vaurum to provide bitcoin liquidity in emerging markets.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Marshal's Service announced that there was only one winner of the auction. It auctioned off bitcoin seized from the Silk Road drug ring. There were more than 40 bidders in the auction, with a number of well-known players in bitcoin saying they were unsuccessful.
