Topic: bitcoin discussion board have lot of unecessary questions (Read 456 times)

I don't understand with people who say that post is spam and suggest use report to moderator, isn't you should have use it when you see those unnecessary thread? Bitcoin discussion section is a crowd place which means most of users are post in this section.

It's either you're not use report to moderator or the moderator not think it's really a bad post.

There's a solution you can do to that right by yourself, if you discover anything of such, then never hesitate to report such post to the moderator, they know what to do as accordingly, but if you think also that the problem persist by that same user you can ignore him to avoid giving yourself unnecessary headache, other people will report such, there are many spammers but the availability of each section makes them minimal on bitcoin discussion board unlike altcoins section.

Well I think I did not agree with your write up here ,and the point you mentioned as not necessarily to a Bitcoin.i think every discussion that is concerning about Bitcoin is necessary to Bitcoin because it talks about Bitcoin and not another thing different from the Bitcoin,.

When someone talked about his first Bitcoin purchase: well I think you need to get his or her full story about the first Bitcoin purchase to actually ascertain where he or she is head to, whether it's how he or she get to become the partaker in a Bitcoin investment whether he or she didn't believe that Bitcoin is real or that they make money through Bitcoin investment or it was so difficult to him or her then,or that he can't believe what he or she saw then,so alot of experiences ok..so I think someone who shares that kind of experience at least one can get knowledge from it, either from his or her mistake then or from his or her good experience..

Again when someone talked about how he or she convince his or her father to become a Bitcoin investor: think it's also a welcome development,of course it may be that the father was doubting that maybe there's nothing like making money online or investing money online that it is a scam, and he or she was able to convince him and he makes a try and get excited and his doubt was clear ok..i think it's a good experience because someone who is already registered here may not fully believe that this is real, and by seeing the the experience one has shared about how he or she was doubtful before until he or she makes a try and be convinced, I think it will give such a doubting mind to also make a try too..

And thirdly when one is talking about how Bitcoin change his life: it's also very very important because it's real alot of People's life has been changed through Bitcoin investment or through other ways of partaking in Bitcoin business,you in particular if there's anything you gain through Bitcoin investment or businesses you do through Bitcoin,i don't think you can still be here or further more in your Bitcoin investment after you have tried and tried and there was no gain,but when they was a gain in every of your investment I think by so doing your life is gradually changing unlike before,and it's enough reason to share your life story with Bitcoin,so it will be of an encouraging to one another..so I believe there is point in all he or she has posted here..

You will also find the same scenario in other boards as well, the best you can do is to report them. It’s unrealistic to expect that people will not respond to those threads, we tried doing so in our local board and that didn’t work, people will always feel the need to correct, criticize or praise the OP. I’m surprised that a newcomer has noticed the situation, it’s even more annoying for someone who’s been here longer to keep seeing repeated threads.

So you mean you knew all the necessary questions to ask and yet since November last year til now you have got just only 1merit? Wow!! How pathetic it sounds that a teacher like you can't apply the principle you claim you teach to achieve a reasonable result here on the forum for you, because I'm sorry to say this, if anybody should complain about quality post/thread, it shouldn't come from someone who have been on this forum for good 11 months, and yet has no result to show that he/she truly understands what it means to be a best post/thread  suitable for discussion here on this forum.

My observation centres around merit as it seems like of late very few are going round the forum and users seem to have realised that topic starters in these boards have higher chances of farming merit than making actual contributions on these threads hence the raise in new topics.

Besides you can tell if these unnecessary questions die a natural death because 7/10 times the question has been asked before and is just been repeated via paraphrasing.

The immediate solution:)

You are absolutely right. This forum is a reality and personal discovery/innovative opinion/ideal sharing. You don't get just what you expect because everyone is not looking for the same thing since desires and knowledges differs.
This has also reminded me in one of the board where I made a thread to call public attention about how unnecessary and unrelated posts are all over the board.
Neither did I know that I was apparently pointing at myself by myself due to self-centered. Because i later asked myself... How sure I am I that my posts are even on the right track since I got the guts to underrate other posts?
That was indeed a mess of me.
And behold, there is no need getting nervous or offended further when coming across post I have no idea about so I  only take a leave, flip the next page and hover over til I get ones interesting just as said @ EFS, not all writers here expert to suit everyone's feels or providing you with the best you may deserve.

According to your OP, would it be wiser for a newbie to ask for a deposit like you did?
Would you rather have people not engage in nonsense by regularly posting their stories about buying Bitcoin, and just trust you with their money?
Start with yourself, to turn the world and society upside down, you need to be someone people will trust. Now your words are ironic. Buy a mirror.

That's likely the current situation, but when we consider the true purpose of the forum, it should primarily be about learning and sharing. Spam has been a persistent issue, and it's not limited to just the Bitcoin discussion; it affects all sections of the forum. Thus, I believe we should relocate this discussion to a different topic. Nevertheless, I appreciate your insight and honesty. I'd like to ask, is there any possibility of making this forum cleaner, aligning with our desired standards? I'm confident that as long as signature campaigns continue, spam will remain an ongoing challenge.

It should be easy to ignore, no?

Well you can report them if you want, if you feel that they are not in the appropriate Bitcoin discussion board.

However, with the influx of new users, there will be a lot of similar open threads asking the say question or what has bitcoin did to them. But I doubt that the moderator will do something about it unless you make a report.

I went back to read about from the help desk that gives the room where you can make the forum laugh, pull them to angry wall and educate the members of you can.
This also gave the room towards such of your autocratic expression.

However, the forum is programed to different boards with its related and assigned categorized topics to discuss about.
If threads and replies are not related to the board it is posted, then it is taken down (deleted).
I am also a victim where my posts and threads were taken down (deleted) due to its low quality and topics off point. If anyway you (OP) a member of this forum finds an such thread or topic replies on the board or forum entirely, you have all right to report to the moderator(s) to do the needful.
Moreso, I clearly understood your point of view. Never get distracted. ✌️

You are right at the OP. I have also noticed that the people who make most of those posts are just newbies, and perhaps they are only seeking attention. If they receive some loads of criticism on such a thread, they will still be the ones to come up on the meta board to raise a topic like "some members are too harsh or whatever." I think I have come across a few topics where some low-ranking members were complaining of being criticized on the forum, and I know that most of the time the criticism they get is as a result of the low-quality posts they have put on some boards, perhaps not only the Bitcoin discussion board but also the economic board. Just like the first comment said, most of those topics will not get deleted as long as they are not Plagerised posts. One thing I know is that such a post doesn't even last up to a week on the top of that board; since it doesn't trigger any serious or meaningful discussion, it quickly dies at the bottom of the board.

Does this mean that you do not agree with what the Global Moderator wrote in the sticky topic when he described what is actually a low quality topic? According to what you wrote, that board should not be moderated at all, which makes no sense to me personally, unless the forum goes in the direction that nothing will be considered worthy of being a report anymore.

However, considering that at least 90% of forum members are here only for signature campaigns, it would certainly suit them.

I can agree with you that it's unnecessary to you but,to a few others, its highly necessary and by someeans to gain encouragement and show there efforts in Bitcoin as a whole. So, you just might get used to seeing a few more threads of that nature becuase,it ain't stopping soon.
What seems to be troubling is, most of those threads are just amde up  garbage that has zero quality to it. I mean, it's more believable when it's followed with a photo album but, still, it doesn't prove passion, just steps taken to a goal that could be far from the protected. Maybe to create a thread of that nature on the forum.

Guess what, its a polarized scheme and no longer milk anything anymore so, good luck to those having this idea and be well aware that,you ain't getting nothing than posts on these sort of posts no more.

Exactly, I have seen many useful topics, questions, contests, and funny topics created by many users on the Bitcoin discussion board. Which were very useful and enjoyable for the time being. And I can not call them useless as the OP has called. But there is no doubt in the Op's words. That there are topics that are useless and don't deserve a spot on the BTC discussion.

But we can also not ignore the truth that, those useless topics, do contain useful information for many. For example, I have read the topic of BTC is life:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-is-life-5467940

When you read the post, it contains a simple message and should not be called as totally useless, and check the number of pages created on this topic. The number exceeds 5. Which is too much. And all of those pages must have 180+ posts from different members. Because 1 page contains 20 posts if I am not wrong.

The point is, that not every comment will be useless that's why we should not try to delete the topics based on the topic only instead we should check for the comments, and observe how useful they are. And there is nothing wrong in saying that many Sig poster try to make posts under such topics just to fill their quota but not every Sig poster do such things. You will know why I am saying this when you will come to read the rule of Sig Campaigns.

Also there are a million pages or more on bitcointalk.

the discussion section has  more than 1000 pages. the first page of discussion has 37 topics alone

and it only has  Oct and Oct 9 on it.

If I look to wright an answer to a thread. I am not going to look at 120 topics and all the posts to them to see if my answer is repetitive.

Oh back to why I like discussion page the way it is.

I just added this website for my donation schedule

https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,2w,fee

I gave him 0.001 btc.

So I now am able to give to 3 good people who can use the support that are all supporting btc. plus run a contest giveaway to attract more website traffic this is a win win for all of us.

I agree with your points the Bitcoin discussion is the right board for such questions and I also believe that such questions are helpful for many people as they discuss about Bitcoin related things at that board. I'm active in that board and I can say that most of the times we see useful posts at that board.

Well, I agree that Bitcoin discussion board is not entirely dedicated to increase someone's knowledge about Bitcoin but yeah most of the times it serves for that purpose as well. There are many good threads in that board and so many good and reputed members of the forum leave good replies in the threads that are posted in that board.

I guess you're right that everyone isn't expert and we'll have to accept that fact. There are many users who basically share their experiences and knowledge with others and want to see some good feedback or others opinions in the form of replies. That's the stress-free way of learning and I guess that most people are learning something from the replies that are posted in that board.

I believe that everyone has their own standards regarding a topic's quality, some people consider a topic high quality and helpful while others may consider it as generic and repeated. We can't change anyone opinion and that's why if someone is really not interested in a topic then the better option is to avoid such topics instead of calling those topics low quality.

There is indeed a possibility for such to happen, but this number is extremely high. There are a lot of members who will stop posting if the signature campaign is put on hold today, but 80% is really very high to mention, as that appears to be almost equal to all the forum members being inclusive.

There are a lot of members whom I have known in this forum, and they have a passion for posting here in this forum. The quoted member above is inclusive, and I believe even without being in a campaign, they will still keep the forum going and keep their contributions organic. There are also members who have a higher chance of getting paid a higher amount in this forum who are active on a daily basis and even post more than those in a campaign, but yet they have never worn a signature campaign, at least that I have seen.
 
Aside from the signature campaign, there are shillers who come in here and use any means necessary, such as making a post, to promote their scam project or what they have been paid to promote, so such people will always be active even if Simon is no longer here, as they are paid aside from the forum to spam.

You have pointed out a good topic my dear friend, there is no doubt in that, there are many useless topics that have been created on the Bitcoin discussion but it's not wise to say that members enrolled in the signature campaign reply under them for post-count completion. Because you might not be aware of the fact that, many signature managers do keep track of the posting of the user. And check them if the sig joiners are doing their work nicely.

I mean if they are not making valuable posts then they will be removed from the campaigns, so I hope you do understand now that, not every poster is here to complete the post quota.

You will find many useful replies which might help you a lot, posted under those un-useful threads you are talking about. So in general, not all of that useless topics are what you have named them because they did contain a useful lesson for many newbies, like you, if you had not read them and not read the comments of the other users then you might not be wise as you are now and you might also be making such useless topics now but hey you are saved and definitely it's not totally because of such topics because you are intelligent by yourself too.
