Advertising spam is not allowed, this includes mining pools, gambling services, exchanges, shops, etc. Mining pool ops should make a thread within the Mining section of Alt Currencies. Most OP's already link to pools available so advertising your pool is unnecessary and leads to too much spam. Exchanges, shops, gambling sites, etc, should make a thread in the Marketplace section of Alt Currencies.
Hi
what does "etc" mean ? every URL ?
Any kind of third-party service that is posted by another person (rather than the starter of the thread).
So, If I develop a service or product denominated in a coin I support, I cannot post it here??? And you claim that you are here to support cryptocurrencies?
I will revise my opinion based on this response. This isn't merely arbitrary and capricious, this is deliberate malice. Has Theymos become so wealthy that he wants to drive all custom away? Or were the moderators and admins just smokin' something REALLY mentally harmful?
You can post it in a dedicated thread for that specific service, as in made by you or in a thread like "All services accepting this coin" in the Marketplace (Altcoins) or Mining (Altcoins) (depends on the service). If you want a service added to a coin's OP, you can send a PM to the dev.
...which was addressed and explicitly rejected as invalid in my previous post. What you aren't addressing is WHY you want to restrict commerce. Over the last year, altcoins have become relevant. During that same year, it seems that this forum has been trying very hard, in a passive aggresive womanly manner, to get the alt section to go away. I've largely stayed out of it until now, but the trend is obvious.
So, I ask again, has Theymos become so wealthy that he no longer wants or needs our custom, or have the admins and mods been hitting the pipe too hard?
Because frankly, the stated reasons for this arbitrary, capricious, and deliberately harmful ruling DO NOT match extant reality in any fashion. 2+2 does not equal five, and never will outside the halls of government. Yeah, from time to time, especially on a new launch, pool operators have gone a bit nuts. But if THAT is what concerns you, when openly fraudulent companies work their frauds in plain sight under your nose without comment from the mods in any meaningful fashion, one HAS to question your ethics and motivations. Or assume you're on some ugly drugs. Or both.
Pool spam (as in bombarding of posts regarding one pool through multiple accounts) is just one of the problems the alt coin sections faces. As bad as it may sound, around 90% of spam I moderate, is in the alt sections, particulary in new coin announcements. We can't track and identify everything by ourselves, especially when spammers use multiple accounts to post the same service in different areas. Thus rules have to be made to prevent such situations and allow for more effective moderation.
You may think that threads regarding some services might be lost, but anything found on the coin's OP isn't. You PM the dev and he adds the service in. If he doesn't add it soon enough or at all, he doesn't care for the success of his coin. And like BadBear said, if he doesn't care, why the hell should you. If you feel the coin still deserves support, start a thread that lists all services regarding that coin and bump it once per 24 hours (as allowed byt the forum rules). If no one does, means the community doesn't really care about the coin and see it just like another pump and dump to make some quick money while leaving everyone else overboard.
