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.

Oh I forgot I am running a give away difficulty guessing contest. I used to run it for years gave away like 10 btc

Very good, I hadn't thought of it that way.


I have also been making donations, giving back to the community part of what I earn here. I have been listing them in a personal thread:

Personal register

You have given me an idea of who to donate to next, thank you. And not to go too off-topic, I would like to point out that Bitcoin Discussion is the second board where I have written the most in my post history, posts that have contributed to my earnings, so I think the board is not that bad after all, as I have said before. 

What's wrong with judging things? It's necessary to be critical and judge, this is what motivates people and what changes the world, what improves our lives.

It's not like that, he actually has the point and is not totally wrong. The fact is, he is a part of people that he criticizes. And I genuinely have doubts that these kind of threads are created to get some easy merits. I have noticed that threads like this are sometimes awarded and newbies understand that.

@philipma1957
Not only that but sig campaigns make this community active. It's true that some spam for money but I think that's managers duty to take care of and spend budget wisely. All in all, campaigns do more good than bad.

I used to think this way for years. But if you look at how much bitcointalk.org creates jobs via signatures you may realize that it is a way to expand BTC and the like all over the world.

A poor person in a poor country can actually earn a living doing this.

A guy like me not poor in a wealthy country can fund donations to worthy forum members.

At the moment I donate

0.001 btc a month to talkimg  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/talkimgcom-image-hosting-for-bitcointalk-5450546

this allows all forum members to be able to post images for free.

I just started donating to Tyke who is creating a good book about bitcointalk

 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62961758

What do you expect people to talk about in Bitcoin Discussion? A question that is unnecessary for you may be important for others. Bitcoin Discussion board is not for increasing knowledge or learning something new. People share their experiences and knowledge here. Not everyone who writes here is an expert. Also, what makes a topic high quality? If you don't like the topic, don't reply, if you don't like the board, don't read it, it's that simple.

If you find any posts that you think are not worthy to be on that board, then report them to the mods. I have seen the same behavior on the Beginners and Help board where repetitive topics are created for getting merits. I generally ignore topics that look like a rewrite of an old topic on the Bitcoin discussion board because some newbies might want to look into them. In most scenarios when I report a stupid post the moderators do not remove it. I feel the Bitcoin discussion board is where most spamming happens other than the Gambling board.

On that board there are many threads that are created with a fabricated story like: 'I convinced x to buy bitcoin...'. 'I bought bitcoin years ago and it has changed my life...' 90% or more of which are fake. Inventions to get credit for what most replies don't question and just keep accumulating congratulatory responses to the OP. I have already left a couple of neutral tags in a couple of profiles because it was obvious with a minimum of analysis and looking at the OP's post history that they were invented.

However, it is not all bad. I do find interesting threads to comment on there, I don't share the very negative opinion expressed by some other forum members on this thread.

Who are you to judge what is useful and what is useless? I am not saying you are wrong. Bitcointalk do have spams, shit posters. And to solve those problem theymos assigned many mods. They are constantly checking the forum for spams and reporting them. After all that, you can't expect the forum to be 100% spam free. We can see, daily hundreds of new threads are being made, thousands of comment and reply. We don't have that much of man power to check all threads, posts, reply one by one. Mods are only humans. If you really think a post as useless, then just ignore it. Moreover, if you think a user as shitposter, you can always add him to your ignore list. That way you won't see his/her post in the future. Lastly report spams with the button you see below every post. Hope you understood that mate.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=yourUID;sa=ignprefs

Here is the link by which you can add a user to your ignore list.

If a post is not quality or belonging to the bitcoin discussion board, the moderators deleted such once they noticed, you can also help in reporting such post to the moderators to fasten the process, i hope you know some threads are locked or moved to off topic when found to be spamming or to have been discussed already.


You started by saying how newbies get merits and now diverted to doing that for a signature campaign, which signature campaign can a newbie account get the while still a newbie or junior member rank, maybe you can show a good example if you have any good example.

Do you report them? If yes, then don't moderators take an action? I guess, yes, they take. So, what's your point? I think you opened this thread because you wanted to act like cool guy and probably noticed that threads like this are sometimes awarded, so, why not create a new one?
C'mon, let's be frank, you don't really care about that, do you?

Probably you should stop getting information from bitcoin.com. Just a friendly advice.

today I am on holiday, and got a thought of bitcointalk after a long time.
And i already was posting like this from start.

Says the guy who created 6 topics in 2 hours.

Such matters cannot be stopped in an open global forum, where everyone can post, even if these topics are of low quality as long as they do not violate forum policy they will not be stopped because forum policy is based on freedom of expression and opinion.

The final decision is made by the moderators. If they consider it to be spam, they will delete it.

For signature campaigns that are mutually beneficial to the participating members and companies, these campaigns are monitored by the advertising company's team and campaign managers and will most likely remove members who post low-quality posts or spam.

It's undeniable that signature campaigns have greatly assisted members who live in  countries with less robust economies, although they may not necessarily be considered poor - that would be a bit harsh in my opinion.

Anyway, I've witnessed the era of Yobit and later CryptoTalk. It was the community that played a pivotal role in their efforts to halt these campaigns, and if I remember correctly, Theymos even decided to ban some of them.

As for these spammers you mentioned, who just post low-quality content, they wouldn't be able to persist if there were effective campaign managers in place. I believe most of these spammers come from participants in the bounty sections. To revisit my earlier point, what we really need are capable campaign managers. From what I've observed, campaign managers these days have improved because many of them value the forum more than just a paycheck, so they're cautious about admitting suspected spammers. However, they should also be reminded that continuous monitoring is essential. Even if a poster is initially of good quality, there's no guarantee they'll maintain that standard over time.

Oh, if for some reason sig campaigns ceased to exist traffic would fall by more than 80%.  I'd bet good money on that--but so far there's been no indication that's in the works.  And you don't have to justify them to me, because I do see the benefits of them and I know people in poor countries can make excellent money by participating in them.  The problem is that a lot of those participants don't give a shit about the forum and don't care about what they're writing and just want the money.

What was that forum that got started by Yobit a while back?  Cryptotalk?  Everyone on it was being paid to post, and that place turned into plagiarism central.  So many people were copying posts made here and pasting them into any relevant thread there.  The whole thing was so ridiculous that I'm surprised it lasted more than a week.  Crypto is full of dishonest/desperate people who'll do anything to get money, and when you present them with a pretty easy writing gig....well, you either get Cryptotalk or a section like Bitcoin Discussion where the mods do the best they can.

If you notice that a certain user keeps coming up with such topics then just add them to your ignore list hat way you won’t get it from them but it won’t solve totally as it’s certain that others might still create similar threads.

Or if you come across the thread early before it gets filled with replies just click on “report to moderator” as the post above mine stated, and it might get deleted if moderator finds it useless.

And just so you know, even if you make a reply with a font size of 50pt warning other users not to reply to those made up stories threads they’ll still ignore it and continue with their congratulatory messages which sometimes makes you feel as if you have no idea about the warning you posted.

I guess it's all about getting used to the dynamics of a large forum. And you're here to help and offer suggestions because you genuinely care about the forum's well-being.

Given the sheer number of members and posts, it's a real challenge for moderators to handle everything in real-time. Some posts might slip through the cracks if they're not reported. In a community that values freedom within the rules, posts typically stick around as long as they don't violate any rules.

For threads that become repetitive or no longer provide value, moderators often step in and lock them down. In the end, it's all about maintaining a healthy and engaging environment for everyone.

When signature are gone then I am sure that forum's traffic will fall down by 80%. But signatures are also good for people who contribute here who have more knowledge about bitcoin then their money invested in bitcoin.

OP, welcome to bitcointalk where 9 out of 10 members are here just to take a dump on the forum and drop as many shitposts in a week as their campaign or bounty will pay for.  This has been going on for years and nothing has changed much, not even after the introduction of the merit system.  It almost seems like earning merits isn't a priority anymore or those dumbass shitposters have found a way to get them on the sly.

You'll notice that a lot of bullshit threads get started, and I've always thought that's done by the OP so that his alts, friends, family, and/or coworkers can have a new place to post some generic shit that's been written a thousand times before.  And yep, Bitcoin Discussion is infested with members like that and it's unfortunate that the section that ought to be full of thoughtful discussion is filled with moronic topics like the ones you mentioned.

Unless or until sig campaigns go away, it's going to stay like this.

That's not true in Bitcoin Discussion, though.  People who really want to learn ought to be reading more and posting far less, and they should be frequenting Beginners & Help.  Most of the threads in Bitcoin Discussion are pure crap, as are the posts in them.  Members aren't there to learn, even if it looks like they are.  If they've got their signature space rented out, it's a safe assumption that what looks like an innocent topic for a thread is just some rehashed discussion that's been had many times over the years, usually in the form of "X vs. Y?" or a title that's in the form of a question that any illiterate shitposter can write an incoherent, low-value, and short answer to.

I respect your all suggestions and they are helpful, BUT it's frustrating to see them many times.

Then don't waste your time on those threads. If those threads do not get enough traction the will slip from the top page of the board very quickly. But we always have users who reply to them, maybe cause quality is subjective and those threads are not spam to them, or any way to fulfil their post requirements counts.

If you feel it's spam, report it.

I will not say many members award then merits. To my observation threads like that do not get merited.

You can it control what other users reply to. You can ignore those discussions so you don't have to read them.

I feel the moderators also noticed these things but are trying as much as they can to make the forum as democratic as possible. Democratic in the sense that freedom of expression is totally allowed because if they become too rigid, many people will become too scared to post in the forum. If you notice, most of those posts are coming from new members, if the moderators do not apply wisdom in handle the situation, it can also affect the forum in the aspect of continuity and others.

Nevertheless,  it is still expected we aspire to encourage as much quality posts as we can so that time in this forum will be worth it. We can use the report to moderators tab more if we feel certain posts or comments do not meet the forum standard...if many people report a particular post, it becomes easier for the mods to act knowing that deleting the post is in the interest of a good number of the forum users.

I totally get what you're saying, mate. In a forum with such a diverse membership, it's common to come across questions that might seem basic to some but are actually sincere inquiries. Everyone's learning at their own pace, and sometimes people are looking for a bit of spoon-feeding to grasp certain concepts.

Now, when it comes to merits and signature campaigns, it seems like the members, especially those who can award merits, know where to invest them wisely. They're not just tossing merits around for low-value topics, and the same goes for their replies. As for the moderators, their approach might rely largely on reports from members. That way, they can keep things in check and ensure the forum maintains its quality.

So if you want to help cleaning the forum, be active in reporting spam post.

At least am not alone on this, I have noticed this same thing repeat itself so many times.. and most members take this thread so serious just to complete there signature post and then making some people feel like they have not been trying...

There are some thread that I see getting merited but deep down it's not educating, then I wondered to myself what really warranted the meriting...
Bitcoin discussion is my favorite board or let me say most familiar board but it pissed me off when I see this people with fake life stories of Bitcoin life. It's not worth it and I don't even border myself to comment on any thing.

I agree, and it is nothing new that is not already known and has not been discussed. Some members even set that board to ignore, some decided to try with as many reports as possible, but that board is still littered with a large number of low value topics. Fortunately, there is a "report to moderator" option, and anyone can use it to report any topic or post that they think does not meet the criteria - and it is obvious that the vast majority have never read the sticky topic that has been at the top of that board since 2016.

Low quality topics do not belong here.

You are obviously one of those who didn't read what low quality topic means - because what would happen if everyone who profited from Bitcoin or bought something for Bitcoin opened a new topic in the Bitcoin discussion?

On each post, you will see report to a moderator, click on it and report it. If your report is good, moderator will take the thread down if a topic is a spam. But if moderator do not take down the post, leave it be becuase this forum is a bitcoin forum and we can discuss anything about bitcoin. If I invested in bitcoin and it gave me 5x return and I used it to build house, I can be happy to bring it to this forum.

Signature posters are better than bounty hunters. Report the posts that you see unworthy.

Sadly the moderator will not remove such thread because it's related to Bitcoin and as long as it's not using AI/plagiarism, even it's a shitpost the thread is still there.

Exclude me from members who give merit for such thread because I never did that, merit is subjective too, you can't really expect they will stop give merit. Similar like members who replied and think those story are real, you can't force then to stop.

bitcoin discussion board have lot of unnecessary questions which is mostly not helpful to increase knowledge or learn something new.
most of them start thread about "my first bitcoin purchase" i convinced my dad to invest in bitcoin, "bitcoin is life", etc. which is mostly a waste of time for good posters.
most users post low quality replies to get post count for signature campaign, and the other users start threads like these because many members award them merits, show my request is stop replying to them if it's not an important discussion.
