That's ok, now I begin to understand something and I thank you for the warning, I'll take care; it's true the about all my post are in politics or off topic, because in other threads I try to learn and I still don't feel ready to give a a serious contribution.
But I'd like a better rank so it seems that the only way is to post something.
If you're not here to contribute seriously then why are you here? And why do you care about a better rank so much? I'm guessing to move up in ranks for a bigger payout for your signature campaign, right? And this is exactly what's wrong with this forum and most of the users here. People sign up to this forum with only one intention in mind and that's to earn money even though they either don't know anything about bitcoin or care about it at all other than they heard you can get paid to post here, so people force themselves to post in threads they either know nothing about or make low quality contributions in the only threads they do know something about (which are usually spam threads created just for that entire purpose).
1) who - and by what - decides if a post is a shit post? I don't think my post were pieces of genius, but...why "shitpost"?
Staff do and the users that report them. Much like police who decide on who breaks the laws, we have our own laws aka rules here that staff try to enforce as best they can. Your posts are shitposts because they contribute very little and have very little thought or effort put into them and it's clear that you are just making them as fast as possible to try rank up your account.
2) if staff - and you, it seems - don't like politics and off topics, why this sections exists? May be a better choice could be to delete them.
It's not we don't like those boards but the shitposters who take advantage of them because they don't have anything else they can contribute to. You can have some very decent and intelligent discussions in Politics & Society, but then it also gets abused and threads taken over by shitposters who don't know anything about bitcoin but can talk all day about how they believe in god without actually having to make any decent arguments. You can make a very well thought out post on why you do or don't believe in god, but then you also just get hundreds of Filipino schoolkids just saying "yes I believe in god" or "I believe in god because the bible says so" and those contribute absolutely nothing and are made just to try farm their accounts so they can join a signature campaign asap.
In any case, as I said I try to understand what to do here; it's understandable that senior mebers are pissed off with "low quality post" but I don't thik you will educate newbees just banning them without explanation.
And - before to be banned (if it would be the case, I hope not) I'd like to be warned before.
Anyway thank you for the advice, I'll try to improve the quality of the post; I've enough to say about traditional trading, I'm just trying to figure how can I apply my expertise to crypto.
People sometimes do get warnings but people should also read the rules and stickies. Staff do not have time to give multiple warnings to every single person but it's up to users to educate themselves on what is and isn't acceptable here. The police don't come round to my house to tell me not to steal or murder and if I did any of those things I can't stand up in court and say "Well I didn't know". Same thing happens here when people copy content or other people's posts. You should know that this isn't acceptable but if you would have read the rules they would have already known this, but it's not Staff's job to warn every single user that get's caught doing it and if you're caught as per the rules you will be banned.
