Best solution was your title and you are asking again for a proposal how to solve it?
I though your post was a solution seeking for approval only to see it's a line little above spam.

You should make up with a good statement before putting a thread, I do love to put thumb up here...

yes my point of view for reducing the spam is an up vote button ( with some explanation in the previous posts ) but again i wanted to make it an open discussion

where lot of ppl give there opinions about what i propose and also give other solution

we all have different point of views thus i encourage you to join the discussion and share with us your idea on how we can reduce the spam Cheesy

Agree! they are different ones. however, the bitcointalk forum was designed for bitcoin discussion at its beginning before expanding to altcoin-related discussions and issues.

bitcoin ≠ bitcoin talk forum

Agree, too. The guy shows wrong point. Everyone in the forum are treated equally and have the same rights to discuss, contribute to the forum discussions and developments.

Dear Jr. Member. You had to have to understand to offer with such a rank ideas as you and I have a useless! And for the future all who wants to write the idea lower than (Hero) don't waste time on it! All ideas will either be condemned or not heard! So spend your time studying other problems! On studying Economics in crypto world, read news .. In General learn! And leave the forum to adults how to regulate it. You must understand new ideas can come up the moderators admins they are not stupid people and understand it more

dear friend i hope you dont make what you say a general rule being a newbie or jr member does not mean they are noobs that only mean that they joined the forum just now !

bitcoin ≠ bitcoin talk forum

and for you saying that only hero and above should post idea to improve the forum i would like to reply that perhaps its true but if we dont make a post or a reply we the newbie and jr members complaining about something they may never know that there is a problem

and one more thing that should make us participate in the bitcoin talk community is that the forum is for everyone for all the ranks so feel free to post and share your thought if it not against the rules

if you browse some of the posts in bitcoin talk u will notice lot of unnecessarily reply to posts or some people agree with the post owner while other may just repeat the

same existing replies with a different style ( some only copy past )

and while the merit system was created to solve that problem he kinda of failed because people still doing same posts for an obvious reason signature bounties

( some will say that merit was for rank ..well yes it is but its kind of created a solution and problem in the rank system )

so my main concern is why bitcoin talk forum don't have a like button ( up vote ) ? that will solve lot of problems and reduce spam

that is kind of joke Grin

? how can the "report to moderator" button be more effective than the thumps up button ?

Why is it a joke? 'thump' means to strike or punch. Striking a post means hitting it, or reporting it to a moderator.

He wanted to say "thumbs up" like a like.

He wrote "why bitcoin talk forum don't have a like button ( up vote ) ?", that's probably a typo. Grin

yep u made a good point
but the merit system is also getting abused
people are begging for merit ( directly or indirectly ) like in other forum ppl are asking for up votes and likes

that mean its the way ppl use those system that define if it will be a bless or just another pain in the ass

True, but unlike in other forums the direct or indirect asking for up votes, likes and +reps are tolerated and is not frowned up. In our case here on the forum, there are DT members that can place a tag on you for doing so. Effectively ruining your account even if you have shit tons of merit. If you have a red trust rating with a billion merit, it will not matter since you were already tagged as someone who openly begs for merit.

That is not the case in other forums. You can beg as much as you want for votes, likes and +reps but no one will take action against you unless it would be from the mods or admins. In this forum, the community itself can do it even without the intervention of the mods and admins.

Well but u are here talking about the people that miss used the up vote system not about the benefit of that system

We can simply add the up vote so he make it easy to ppl to see good posts that have chance to get merits

And those who miss use it and beg for up votes will get the same treatment as merits beggars

And be like the other shitty forums around the internet where people keep on begging for likes, up votes, reps, etc? No thanks. It's quite different here but things are improving and in a different manner. I don't want to see the forum spammed with,

"If this helped you, don't forget to like or +rep"
"+rep to view this thread"
"don't be a freeloader like or +rep"

and all those other bs other forums have.

Another thing about other forums I've been on, they have a minimum post or worse reps or likes to be able to post in particular sections of the forum. Where's the freedom in that? Here, you can post anywhere you like even if you just created your account without restrictions aside from some time restriction that won't allow a new account to post or PM successively.

I honestly don't think you give a shit about spam, I'm fairly sure you are a spammer yourself and this post just like all the other thousands is nothing but a silly attempt to receive merits. Why do people care so much about spam and not about scams?

sorry if i disappointed you but what was you expecting from a shitty jr member ?
u dont give a shit about what i posted just am a spammer !!!

well its a public forum and everyone have the right to post his idea since no rules are broken

If you are not going to invest money, you can ignore the scams and attempted scams around you.
Spam is in your face everyday. You just cannot avoid it.

Exactly. And I'd say that people around here certainly do care about the scamming problem, which is why DT members tag suspected scammers and the reason we have the trust system in the first place. The spamming/shitposting problem, though, is far more pervasive. It's everywhere. Theymos would never have put the merit system into place if even he didn't see how bad it's gotten or care about the quality of discussion here.

OP is not helping anything, though. He's part of the problem, IMO. His posts are as bad as any I've seen, but I've learned that shitposters generally tend to think they're doing a fantastic job writing what they write. They're completely blind to their own faults and to the truth, which is that no one reads stuff that looks like it was churned out by your below-average five year old child. Those posts aren't going to be read at all, much less merited. The only thing they will earn is a click of the "report to moderator" button, which Jet Cash has appropriately recommended.

since we are missing the main question i edited the topic thump up is equal to like or up vote

lol since people started to argue on what is a thumps up i thought to replace it with another familiar name which is " like" or up vote so people may discuss the idea

and i have to say that this guy pointed to a good utility of an up vote button Grin

Quote from: HabBear on April 04, 2018, 03:03:57 PM

Or are you talking about the "thumbs up" / up vote feature we see on Reddit, so that only the most community-voted posts are seen at the top of the thread? That's a solid idea to complement the merit system because the threads shown on the first page are more likely to be read and thus more likely to get considered for a merit point.

i agree with you that will make it easy for moderators or smerit source to spot good posts with good contents and if someone think he is smart and up vote a mediocre

post or a shitty one that will simply do the opposite effect and can cuz him to get a - 1

ps : instead of this comment i could just gave you an upvote Wink

What are "thumps"? Is this some hipster British slang? And what's supposed to happen if I press a button to up a thump?
